I've been experiening some hack n Slash games this year in 2007 that have been in full 3d. For instance, Hellgate:London. I've been finding this genre in Full 3D quite lacking, and it loses its feel and originality compared to games like Baldurs Gate, Diablo 2, Divine Divinity, Titan Quest ect.
This Genre should stay away from full 3d and stick to a graphical engine like Titan Quest, which looks great, without going completely 3D like Hellgate:London which I did not like at all.
Hellgate:London had to be one of the biggest Letdowns. Apart from releasing the game with tons of Bugs, there were only 5 bland tilesets, and the overall look and feel of the game got old fast.
If anyone can make a Hack n Slash work in full 3D though, it will probably be larian studios if they do make this game in 3D. It may possibly be the first huge brimming hack n slash open ended world to successfully hit shelves.
I just hope that putting the game in 3D doesn't make it feel more like an MMO rather than a Hack N Slash which tends to be the case in today's games like Hellgate:London.
Anyhow, I would love to see Hack N Slashes stay 2D but with gorgeous graphics like Titan Quest for example. It doesn't need to be 3D to look good or meet today's standards. I think Hack N Slashes prefer the overhead 2d look we've all known that comes with this genre from Diablo to Titan Quest.
Please make DD2 with DD's wonderful (Features) Gameplay, Setting, Story, Freedom in mind.
