Just out of curiosity what do you guys think of these 3D remakes of classic games.
Worst thing to even happen to the "Lemmings" games, that's for sure... Some games just aren't well-suited to a 3D environment.
The old-style 2D point-and-click adventures (Monkey Island, etc.) also look much better in 2D than the later 3D version.
There's several problems with the 3D versions:
- They lack the interesting skewed cartoony look, with incorrect perspectives.
- The controls in the 3D versions are a lot more awkward than the 2D versions were
- Occasionally awkward of confusing point-of-view
- Thanks to polygon count limits and such, everything tends to look a lot more 'boxy'
- Certain visual effects simply don't work in 3D
All of those combined make the end result look more sterile, more artificial, less visually pleasing, and somehow less immersive.
