If you know you are playing in a make believe world, does it really matter if you have super textures or super-duper textures (to use some technical terms). In other words, would Super Mario Galaxy have been any better in HD with 5 o'clock shadow on our protagonist? I have heard a theory that once graphics become too life-like, people start rejecting them because they appear to be soulless representations of humanity. Maybe the Wii just prevents this from happening. Mike from Morgantown |
HD != super realistic or life like. For example, if The Simpsons comes out on Blu-Ray disc, Homer won't look anymore human than he looks on DVD. Another example is Geometry Wars on the 360. That's in HD, but it doesn't look realistic in any way. Just nice and crisp compared to the Wii version, and yes, I have both to be able to compare them before anyone says anything. :P
