Adventures in 3d? not necessarilly bad...

[TerranRich]

Yes, one of the problems with 3D is that it offers perhaps TOO MUCH interactivity and therefore higher expectations.

Here here. but some offer very little, like Myst 3 Exile.

Myst was 3-D. And the adventure-gerne was killed by the Myst-clones (IMO).

Myst wasn't 3-D, at least not until "RealMyst" or "Uru - Ages Beyond Myst".
Sure, the graphics were 3-D rendered, but interface-wise you just clicked your way through pictures. Whether those are rendered or painted is just an aesthetical difference.

However, I do agree that the lack of interactivity (i.e. "the cursor pretty much does all the thinking for you") contributed to the demise of the classic puzzle-solving genre.

I agree, and the characters look a bit cut and pasted(In Myst 3 at least)

3d is a style just like 2d is a style.

You're absolutely right, that's the point I was trying to make when I first posted in this thread, obviously so poorly that in arguing against me you made it. I wanted to make the point that artistically, 2d graphics can be just as effective as 3d. It's just that some games are more suited to one or the other.

An adventure with a high level of environmental interactivity might well be better in 3d. Plus, it'd be great to finally play an adventure game where when the Maitre'D won't give you his hairpiece you can just push him down and snatch it.

Here's a new one http://www.qfg3d.com/

Just by looking at the name can u tell what game it is??? (hmm)

Although I haven't seen much more of the game, and it is only a CONCEPTUAL image, I think the waterfall/'Enry's cave should really be left alone...

I think mosdt people will agree

That is a still shot.. in-game those blocks will be coming from the top and falling at a fast rate to simulate water, you wouldn't see them like that. Whoever modelled this isn't very good though, because the cave looks terrible, the shape is wrong, and the textures are bad.
