| swyggi said: I wasn't referring to the HD consoles as being more immersive because they had great graphics. It's the feeling of being lost in a game as opposed to being aware of what you're doing. Many people would agree that you can be more immersed in the gamecube version of TP than the Wii version of TP BECAUSE there are no motion controls. It's the concept of being in the game vs. interacting with it.
You are right however in saying that Immersion and Interaction are not mutually exclusive because they can be combined in ways. However, the more interaction that takes place the more immersion is taken away. Ex: MP3 is immersive and relies on controls for interaction while keeping immersion in check most of the time, but Wii sports' controls make it too obvious to what you're doing because of the amount of movement in comparison to MP3 taking away from immersion and giving more to interaction. |
At this point you are more into a movie type of game, and how many games are like movies???
I don't think the same, the most immersive games featured heavy interaction, even if it was just a button masher...
