I don't even think your reading my post's properly. I said graphics "contribute" to immersivness I didn't say graphical abiliity definesthe level of immersivness. But crappy graphics deprive the the immersivness of the game because or eyes are starting to adjust to HD level graphics.

 There are many factors which affect immersivness.

Audio

Voice Acting

Graphics ( A major factor)

Level of Detail

Story Line

Gameplay

User involvment

 

Wii Sports is an interactive game !!!  Interactivity contributes to immersion but it also doesn't define the level of immersion in a game. The more interactive a game is the less immersive it can be , interactivity requires concious thought , concious thought make you feel more external to the game.

 GTA has similar levels of interaction to the average game , like I said before , the believability of the GTA world , the enviroments ,storyline ,  gameplay , audio , graphics , level of detail are all contributing factors.

 1st, your post start to make more sense now, but you haven't answer my question... and many of "your factors"doesn't appear until this post...

Second, I'm sorry but any game need conscious thought, if not you are just watching a movie, or you are not alive, no gamer can go trought any game withouth conscoius thought of his actions...

There you go, with your last sentence, the immersion of the game is no related to the graphics alone, by your stament any game with  the same quality in the graphics department with good story line and good gameplay can be as immersive as GTA...
