DAD, u must've misunderstood me. i never said that true 3D is graphically better than pseudo 3D. but then again maybe i did. & thanks for the verbose explanation though it's not any more verbose than your previous post which sends me very clear signal already.

what i meant was that if true 3D actually translates to something meaningful in gameplay & experience in which the level of immersion is delved a lot deeper, then go for it. if it's just eye candy & not anything else, then stick 2 pseudo 3D. so far right now DD is proven 2 be a solid marriage of true 3D & pseudo 3D. however marian wonders if going totally for one or the other, i presented my case which is level of immersion & gameplay. ok so 2 cases. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

this issue has been brought up by the id dude, john carmack. he mentioned that if 3D is only eye candy & gameplay isn't innovated by it, then 3D isn't that all groundbreaking. i agree with him. & that's my point in the first place. how beautiful or breathtaking 3D, true or otherwise isn't of utmost importance for me. does 3D makes the game better, is the level of immersion deeper, does it present me with more tactical choice, does it make the game more innovative? those are the questions i ask.

sorry if i didn't make myself clear in my previous post.
