Developer's Journal --- What makes a game world ''immersive"?
Love these awesome threads on Reddit / Gamasutra:
Highlight of comments / idea:
---- It annoys me whenever developers talk about wanting to make the player "feel like a hero". No, dammit, I don't want to feel like a hero. I want to feel like a part of the world!
---- It's impossible to feel like a hero without feeling like part of the world, so you'd think developers would fix your annoyance by accident at least.
---- The convincing, immersive game world needs to be indifferent to the player and the player needs to feel like an intruder.
