Technology 2D Vs 3D

[Prize Gotti]

For years game developers have invested millions to improve on 3D graphic in games across all platforms, but is it a huge importance? My personal feelings favour 2D games because the game play in 3D games all ways feels as it has been sacrificed to make the game pretty.

Street Fighter is a prime example, let take a look at StreetFighter 2;

Possibly the best fighting game ever made, still a classic til this day. No amazing effects, no 3D, just hours of fun.

Then you have StreetFighter EX3;

Nice graphics, but wheres the fun? Crap gameplay and boring after having completed arcade mode.

'SF' is not the only game, many classics, Sonic for example, have sucked in a 3D reincarnation.

Are these 3D games going to make us dust off the PS2 in 10 years time when we want a bit of retro? I really think not.

i think your thread title should say "2D Vs 2D"

What Im hoping for with SF4 for example is that if they must use 3D graphics they stick to 2D gameplay.

So horizontal fights fights that require quick reflexes and playing like the SF Alpha games (which were awesome in my opinion).

Nowadays they need flashy 3D graphics to sell. But please, stick with 2D fighting for Street Fighter!

2d games were the best and will always be.

sonic on xbox 360 wasnt so bad. the wii sonic sucked ball tho.

2D games developers still make millions of dollars. The demand is obviously there.

It's called "casual gaming".

Most of the time I'd say 2D, and defo for Street Fighter.

I'm also a MASSIVE MASSIVE Sonic fan, I had all the originals on my Mega Drive/Genesis growing up and still love em. But I have to say, Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast was FUCKING AWESOME.

That's one case of 3D being good.

The real game of Rock paper scissor is easy to win, there is a way to work out the person pattern, I used to pwn my friends all the time.
