Gamers! Do you want immersive graphics?
Like, so immersive that they give you psychological trauma? Of course you do!
That’s basically the message behind this new Xbox One ad. The target: Real gamers, the supposed demographic that correlates improved graphics with better gameplay, even though the visually impressive Xbox game being shown off here — Ryse: Son of Rome — has received middling reviews.

Maybe the next next-gen consoles will actually make the ad’s fantasy a reality, as predicted years ago by the Perry Bible Fellowship.
