I was just wondering if anyone else wouldn't really like to see games become "too realistic" such that you confuse them with real life things.
For me, i mainly plain games as a form of escapism and fantasy so it'd seem awkward/weird to play a game that is too real, because it'd defeat the purpose of myself playing it and i could just walk to the outside world anyway. I know games could have fantastical themes (like sci-fi games and so on) which may seperate them from what we'd conceive as realistic, but i am still a little skeptical about games becoming too real.
I am not anti-games or anything, on the contrary i would like to end up developing games in the future, but i still think it defeats the purpose of games if we make them too real. I know this wont happen to soon but it'd definatly on the horizon and approaching fast. Maybe my view will change with time, but for now, this is how i feel. There is also a question on what is too real? but i guess thats quite subjective so it's hard to discuss.
