Forums - Sales - Is 2D the new 3D?

I think that there is going to be a trend of more 2D coming out. People still enjoy playing them and they are easier to make, so why not?

nah 2D never went anywhere



There's something about 2D games that can't be translated into 3D. People continue to love it; just have a look all the games listed in the news-section of 2Dgaming.net
3D will never replace 2D; both will continue to co-exist.



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360

"People don't pay attention to a lot of the details."-Yusuf Mehdi explaining why Xbone DRM scheme would succeed

"Fortunately we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity; it's called Xbox 360,”-Don Mattrick

"The region locking of the 3DS wasn't done for profits on games"-MDMAlliance

for obvious reasons, 3D will always be better,

Please enlighten us to these obvious reasons.  Certain genres work much better in 2D than 3D, such as platforming games.

Castlevania SOTN > Castlevania 64

Super Mario Bros. 3 > Super Mario 64

Zelda III > Zelda:OOT

TMNT arcade > modern 3D TMNT beat-em-up games

etc etc etc

Okay, I'll be more inclusive (and more controversial, what the hell):

Super Mario Bros. 3 > Super Mario World > Super Mario Bros. > New Super Mario Bros. > Super Mario Bros. 2 > Super Mario Bros. 2 (J) > Super Mario Galaxy > Super Mario Sunshine > Super Mario Land 2 > Super Mario Land > Super Mario 64

I'm fairly certain that a plane is NOT spatial.

I should know. I take Geometry.
