When Smokers try to lasso him, he grabs their tongues and pulls them to HIM instead.
When Hunters jump on him he flips them over, pins them to the ground, and rips out their teeth one at a time. When Boomers vomit on him he wipes himself off, shoots peptobismol into their mouths, and performs liposuction on them before splattering their brains on the wall. When a Tank throws a chunk of concrete at him he rolls up his sleeves and puts on boxing gloves. When a Witch gives him lip he pulls his hand back and slaps that bitch right in the mouth. No zombie is safe from Chicago Ted. |

Most, maybe even all of the 2D games that come out nowadays are arcade fighters. They get alot fo cash while they're in the arcades in Japan, but don't sell nearly as well when they reach consoles. Considering that the US has a declining arcade scene and a bad record with 2D game sales on modern consoles, I can understand why some publishers would be hesitant.

Hell yeah. In my opinion, Castlevania is meant to be a 2D game. Personally, I think a lot of companies are ruining their games. Megaman is meant to be 2D, as is Castlevania, and Sonic. Well, that's how I see it atleast.
Get ready for my "Super Ultra Mambo-Tango-Foxtrot martial arts!"

Not everything is best in 3D, and there is still great gameplay that can not be done with 3D. If one day I truly saw that 2D was done, I'd probably give up new games not in protest, but in depression. I'm worried sick that 2D Metroid might be coming to an end, considering the (rightly deserved) success of Metroid Prime and the end of the GBAs life cycle (the DS might be one of the last great 2D systems, but even it gets more and more 3D-centric each day).

I think game developers should use the graphics that would better suit the game that they are making. I dont wanna play a game in 3d that would be more functional in 2d.
To me, theres still alot of potential in 2d gaming.  |

Graphics will plateau when we reach FFX CG levels of quality, and that won't be for a while, and by then another "goal", so to speak, will have arisen for graphics. The industry is noticably turning towards physics and interaction in games, with the PS3 (by nature of it's processor) and Revolution (because of it's controller and rumored PPU) leading the way.
I highly doubt 2D will climb back on top, especially with public perception about those times of games as it is. High resolution sprites and backgrounds coupled with next gen effects would be damn nice though.  The text is part of the image and the two squires aren't exactly even. |

Pretty much from here on out most 2D games made will go for a highly stylized artistic look, which is how games should look anyways. Playing a game that looks like a crappy summer blockbuster (movie) would only show how much we lust for games where people look and move realistically.

I don't think its so much an idea that 3D looks better than 2D, its just that 2D can be seen as an extremely limited medium when compared to 3D. Though most hardcore gamers would disagree, I think a lot of developers still aim to do something new and different with their games, and 2D simply does not offer a good platform to do that. 2D has been around for a long time, and if you think about it everything that could be done in 2D space has pretty much already been done and there really isn't much variety in genres when confined to two dimension.

Most games I think would be rather better as sidescrollers aka 2D(or 3D but still 2D to a degree.) such as Metroid and other games such as as those.

Why can't people be satisfied with the obscure, unpopular, and possibly japanese 2D games which we still see. I'm sure Disgaea didn't sell because of it's 3D battle levels, oh no. |

And yes I know MP and MP2 would have been totally different but then again, at first I cursed at how they made it into a FPS, now I'm totally like it after playing it for a year or so.

There isn't that many purely 2D-based games available these days, but that's bcause the gaming industry is rubbish now. |

Is Super Mario Bros 3D because the pipes have shadows? |
