I want you to answer some simple questions:
Why 2D games died? Would you like to see big game developers making good old 2D games?
Maybe died is not the right word, maybe it's having a little nap. Because it's not completely dead. But playing Sam & Max in 3D does not make me have the same feeling as good as first game. You know, 2D games had a very different look and feel. They did not require a 512MB graphics card. They were gorgeous crafts of pixel artists.
Nowadays, 2D gaming is generally kept alive by independent surroundings. Like AGS community etc. I think possibilities to make a different 2D game has increased because of physics engines.
My only complaint is commercial game developers have mostly yet almost completely went to 3D. It would be good to have old feelings in new technology. Or maybe I'm wrong and I'm a completely dino ( altough I'm only 19! ). Correct me if I'm wrong and tell me if you have some kind of similar feelings like me.
My opinion about my question:
2D games are a bit dead because pixel art is very time consuming and 3D is easier to animate and shade. Dev's can focus more on programming and photoreality. They make hardware intense games and graphics card manufacturers can sell more complex cards, and thay can have more $$$. So, it's about money more than art!
