Yeah but seriously, why's everything have to be so 3d all the time?
B/c 3D is the newest dimension in gaming -- that is why.
Gamers/people also are calling for 3D games, so they are getting them.
DD had beutiful graphics, listen to what PC Gamer said, " Crisp 2d graphics" ... "great looking 2d graphics looking better then some 3d in other games"
Dimensions doesn't matter when making graphics look great. Though, often, high-profile 2D games are rich in detail --- even more so than some 3D games, often. Depends on what kind of graphics the company trumps out.
And even if a game looks great in 3D, there's usually more of a price to pay w/ that kind of detail than if the game was to be made in 2D w/ the same amount of detail: slower framerates. I have nothing against 2D games. Some great games were in 2D, such as BG series, Arcanum, and the Fallout series.
But, yes, I do prefer full 3D games -- just think like NWN. I loved that Aurora Engine. I loved in NWN, b/c it was full 3D, that w/ the feature of the unlocked camera, that I was able to manipulate the camera any way I wanted -- I could rotate, spin, pitch, move the cam down to the ground, move the cam overhead completely, etc etc. Of course w/ its pause button, I would often pause so I can move the camera in the perfect position, then resume the game. Often, I moved the cam while I was playing in real-time, also. I felt like a director for a movie, but I'm (of course) in a gaming world. It was great. I hope the next Divinity utilizes something like that, if it'll be in full 3D.
They were great. Thats not to say BD doesn't look nice, as I was remarking to myself yesturday, it looked good too, I just don't like it as much.
From the screenshots, BD has a more DARK-themed look to it.
DD seems more vibrant and colorful.
I'm not saying its not going to be in 1st person, just saying they've never said that . <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />
Hehe.
