Immersion is forgeting yourself in a game; at least by how we are relating to the word. Interaction is how we are commanding characters in the game at least by how we are relating to the word. Omfg, every game has the potential to be immersive, I don't even like Wii sports and even I got into he boxing, like once the bell goes the only moment I remember I'm playing a game (outside of not actually getting hurt) is when I KO the target or the match ends. That's a combination of the two. Look at god of war, that game was awesome on both fronts so come on already, all you did was show clearly one art direction vs another. We all know Zelda Twilight was not going towards photo realism, but we all know Epic loves photo realism and so does Naughty Dog. You even went as far as to show a pic from Mario Galaxy, If you were going to do that you could of taken a still of when he crawls on he Queen Bee. This thread is dead anyway, I've seen it on this board at least 2x a month for the last year. Not trying to come off rude but thats like saying: Okami isn't immersive because it doesn't look like CoD4. Finally no, cheating is showing a picture of Drakes Fortune when he's in as usual a forest vs Hyrule Plains and trying to play that off as a forest. Which by the way that was a cut scene also, lighting color and camera have huge effects on what is visually "cute". =P |
I didn't look for very long ( 3 minutes in total ) before posting all the pics that you see now , it was pretty much random selection , if the Wii screenshots didn't look to good in your opinion then I suggest you do a better comparison.
Okami is a very abstact game , using your definition I think the level in a realistic looking game would be higher than that in an abstract , unique looking game.
Edit : I could have easily shown an in game screen shot of similar or superior quality.
