GameDynamo - "When video games went from two-dimensional sprites to three-dimensional polygons, the potential for unique experiences increased exponentially. But not every classic franchise successfully made the jump to the third dimension. Perhaps the amount of creativity needed to completely re-envision a world may have been too much for some development teams, or perhaps the companies didn't want to bother investing the time and money necessary for the great polygonal leap. For every Super Mario 64 or Final Fantasy VII, we got plenty of three-dimensional flops like these..."
Are you excited for the forthcoming Visions of Mana? This retrospective of the Mana series will tell you all about the franchise thus far.
The popular Sega franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, has been really successful in recent years, forging paths for the recent upcoming titles.
These sales surged by 150 million compared to last year.
we need a new sonic pinball, with boss battles / hidden stages / 1 sec load times
Definitely agreed. I loved Sonic Spinball back on Genesis. I want a new Mean Bean Machine too, while we're at it!
Still need to check out Frontiers at some point. Just waiting on a really good Steam sale for it.
Kings Quest 8 gets my vote
Sonic's transition was fine. The problem with the 2006 was less about it being in 3D and more about it just being plain unfinished, and quite flawed in execution.
Can't comment on the other ones, although seeing Bubsy up there was quite unsurprising.
I don't know why people thought games had to be 3D to be good games lol
I guess it was all new back in the later 90's but even later games like final fight street wise and golden axe
Mario did it perfectly but 2D games in my opinion for many franchises should simply stay 2D (contra especially..which it has recently)
I would love to see Mega man in 3d but a good one this time.
worms always worked in 2D the 3D games felt clumsey
