| Conina said: And it would probably have been a commercial failure if they had offered a pure 2D console while Nintendo and Sega were offering consoles who can handle 2D and 3D games. Especially as a newcomer in the console sector. Most gamers wanted polygon-based 3D games in the mid-nineties, which also allowed new perspectives and gameplay due to the flexible camera. 2D in native 640 x 480 also needed a lot of performance back then, so the pure 2D console wouldn't even have a price advantage. |
Yes it probably would of been a commercial failure because 3d was the new hot thing, but I would of like to of seen a pure 2d console though back then
640x480 @ 16 million colors @ 60fps in 2D this console
320x240 @ 32 thousand colors @ 30fps in 3D PS1,N64
I know which one would of stood the test of time for the better graphics today, but you're right, everyone wanted 3d in the mid 90s
