What is Immersion and How Do We Achieve It?

Most of the people who play games agree that they are able to let us explore new and interesting worlds in ways that books or movies simply cannot. However, when we talk about this ability, the same word tends to crop up over and over again: This word is “immersion.” All gamers have at least a rough idea of what it is, but very rarely do we discuss the idea in any sort of meaningful way. Enigma from Gaming Furever attempts to try and remedy that.

Well, you dress your smartest, have a couple of swift ones and hit the night with a face full of teeth...

Or are we talking about gaming?

Nexgensensation4290d ago

Now the question is, how do us gamers demand more immersion from these developers and publishers?

money?
how much copies need to be sold?

inspiration ?
do these developers and publishers need to go through more obstacles in life?

Anyone else not blown away with graphics these days? Me neither

There are different games. Some have gamplay at it highest priority, some have the story, some have the replay value and choices... There are a lot of different game experiences.

It is laughable that just now graphics does not have anything to do with that experiene. We have had many games of that type over time. This is just the one that have come closest to feel like playing an actual movie. Just look the the Digital foundry walkthrough it is a masterpiece in that perspective and hence wrth trying. But yes do not do it for the gameplay - but that was never the goal of this experience.

Of course Christopher would submit this lol.

PS fanboys like Christopher for years: “OMG visuals!”
Xbox releases a game with better visuals than any Sony game: “visuals don’t matter!”

Giga_Gaia2h ago

Not better than any Sony games. Hellblade 2 visuals aren't really impressive and anything we haven't seen. Plus everything else about the game is shit. Wouldn't be different if it was multiplatform.

MyDripMyDripO1h ago

No Sony game looks as good as HB2. Not even close

You mist be late to the party.
Christopher submits most VideoGamer articles... because N4G is owned by VideoGamer...

Nevermind alt...

MyDripMyDripO1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

And 100% of those articles just happen to be negative Xbox and positive PlayStation 😂😂

Remember when we had 1 approved article for PS layoffs and 100 approved duplicate articles for Xbox layoffs?

You don’t learn do you expect to be closed soon 🤦🏿🤣
The graphics in the industry are getting less shocking than 10-15 years ago but now and then we get games that look great like like this new game from ninja theory.

This person "MyDrip" is more likely the person you say it really is. One thing that stands out in "MyDrip" reply to you is that they always start their replies with what you wrote in your initial comment. They love to repeat what you wrote, again it's probably exactly who you say it is.

Nothing to see here in the above comment but another alt account splooging over a glorified photo mode.

MyDripMyDripO54m ago

PS fans love a good photo mode though, no?

Or did that goalpost move now that an Xbox game looks better?

Elda14m ago(Edited 12m ago)

Imo Stellar Blade looks way better than the bland & drab Hellblade 2 & the gameplay in Stellar Blade is top notch, immensely fun than Hellblade 2. Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.

MyDripMyDripO10m ago(Edited 9m ago)

Of course a PS fanboy would say that though.

And SB is made for weebs who jack it in their parents basement

''Horizon Forbidden West graphics look way better than Hellblade 2 as well.''
Not to mention it's a 60fps game and on top of that a big open world with lots of things going all at once. ;)
