The commercial release of the Wii U approaching at small steps of moustached plumber, Nintendo offers three galleries screenshots showing the different game modes in New Super Mario Bros. U.
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @Loakum: enjoy, the one Sony sent us will be there on launch day. Coverage will follow asap. (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum *takes a large sip of victorious grape juice* ok….my PS5 pro arrived early! So much winning! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @reneyvane: non ils l'ont publié le 1er octobre et je crois que tu l'avais déjà linkée. ;) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Download is now functional again on Gamersyde. Sorry for the past 53 days or so when it wasn't. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Another (French) livestream today at 2:30 CEST but you're welcome to drop by and speak English. I will gladly answer in English when I get a chance to catch a breath. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood GSY is getting some nice content at 3 pm CEST with our July podcast and some videos of the Deus Ex Mankind Divided preview build. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood For once we'll be live at 4:30 pm CEST. Blim should not even be tired! (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood More Quantum Break coverage coming in a few hours, 9:00 a.m CEST. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood We'll have a full review up for Firewatch at 7 pm CET. Videos will only be tomorrow though. (> 3 Months ago)

Most 2D Games offer much better,and tighter Gameplay in my Opinion !
And Mario is stuffed with Cool ideas ! Actually there is no difference in why a 2D game should not cost full price ! Game is Game,makes no difference if 3D or 2D !
What matters is how good the game is i think !
Just not sure where your thinking comes from that a 2D game is less worth then a 3D game ! Curious,would you tell me ?
What surprises me is that it looks no better then wii games.

Let me stop you while you're ahead. If you're a true gamer, you'd know that the difference between developing a 2D game and 3D game is like comparing a car to a jet. There is so much work that goes into making a 3D game that non techies could never comprehend. I shouldn't even have to mention. Try looking into Maya 3D and you'll think you were looking at government blueprints. Couple that with programming and things get trickier. 2D games can be found on mobile devices in numbers higher than the 8-bit and 16-bit era. Why? Because they are easier to develop. Nintendo selling this game at full price as a launch title is just plain ridiculous. 2D games are sold as DLC at much reduced prices. There's no justification to claim that development cost of a 2D game is comparable to a 3D game. It's not even an argument.
I dont know... it's just looking too sterile for my taste.
If i didnt know, i would probably have guessed on a new SNES game lol

Thinking that 3D has some greater intrinsic value than 2D, its like saying CG is better than old school cel animation, purely subjective and opinion based (and just fucking horseshit). I know I don't automatically respect the fact someone knows a fucking 3D graphics tool if it means they can't pick up a pencil and draw a decent picture on an actual piece of paper. Apparently though its the reason I should pay more for my games.
Fucking laughable.
so what what you say to this munkini? i agree with the article

Working for years now on different games,and guess a bit old school my self,
but the new kids i meet who are entering our comp[any are really good with all those tools,
but as you said..give them a pencil and a piece of paper..and they don't know even how to paint ! :( They know there Models and there renderings..and most of it just feels cold and unpersonal !
The art of making a good 2D game is slowly lost,try to find some good Pixel artist and you will know what I mean ! Most schools just teach digital painting on PS,Maja and other 3D tools !
I feel I am glad that the indie scene is doing so much in 2D,and they show..2D is still well a good way to express ideas,and its a choice !
In the end,it all comes down to taste i guess and what we prefer,
but making a cool 2D game is not as easy as some might think,
and cost for the team and all the licenses and computers,offices are the same as for a 3D game. Development time might be at times different,
but i can't say that as well. I just finished working on a game that took us 2 years to make,and selling it low because its a 2D game is something very strange to me..who can survive on it ?
So as Munkini said,it depends on what you offer people,content and soul,gameplay and fun ,something worth their money !
Just because its 2D to make it less worth is wrong,cause its not true !
Anyway,thanks guys for sharing your thoughts on this matter,helps brighten the horizon :)
Cheers
