immersion?

Really, both are forms of media entertainment, judging by you coming back with that silly comment you know I'm right.

What is immersive in a movie? Well acted and believable characters and a story that keeps you interested and entertained the whole time. It's not about Thor's CGI effects, or about LOTR's well made decors. If you need to shoot a scene in Time Square you go there, you don't need to make a decor or a CGI Time Square. A good drama will be just as immersive as Thor or LOTR or wtv....

Video games. Do you need FFXIV or Crysis quality graphics to feel immersed? No. WOW has poor graphics by today's standards and yet it is highly immersive judging from all the players playing it. So what makes a game immersive? No it's not like a movie, you don't need believable characters or voice acting or even a good story. Mario galaxy can be just as immersive as anything else and it's just a platformer. Or if you play a racing game, you can either feel immersed playing a very realistic racing game like GTA5 and you will feel the same playing a game where you race with space ships.

playing a game where you have FUN and feel entertained the whole time. That is what is video game immersion.

Watching a movie doesn't need to be fun to feel immersed. It can be a horror or a sad drama.

A video game even if it's an action game, survival horror, platformer, racing game, mmo etc... they all need to be FUN to play.


Comparing Movies and Video games or Music is idiotic. They are all entertainment forms i agree but that is were the comparaison stops.
