| With the market being saturated with
| |
| | are still evolving to become more real
|
| games requiring cutting edge technology
| |
| | and less polygon like. A 2d game made
|
| platforms and connections such as World
| |
| | today can have the best 2d graphics which
|
| of Warcraft, City of Heroes, Tabula Rasa,
| |
| | could either look realistic or go for a
|
| Warhammer, and Age of Conan, is there
| |
| | clean/crisp/bright cartoon look; The
|
| really a point to playing a 2d game? Even
| |
| | ability to make the game as intentioned
|
| though the obvious answer may appear to
| |
| | is a huge plus for 2d video games and
|
| be no, the real answer is an emphatic
| |
| | games like diablo II, starcraft II, and
|
| yes! With the
| |
| | revamped Ultima Online prove how great 2d
|
| market being saturated with games
| |
| | graphics can now look.Another huge
|
| requiring cutting edge technology
| |
| | advantage is movement and pvp. Currently
|
| platforms and connections such as World
| |
| | 3d pvp is awkward and less related to
|
| of Warcraft, City of Heroes, Tabula Rasa,
| |
| | movement on screen as compared with
|
| Warhammer, and Age of Conan, is there
| |
| | button mashing, unless you're playing a
|
| really a point to playing a 2d game? Even
| |
| | FPS. 2d games are easier to maneuver for
|
| though the obvious answer may appear to
| |
| | now and give the user greater control
|
| be no, the real answer is an emphatic
| |
| | over his character/avatar. This allows
|
| yes!One of the main reasons people choose
| |
| | for more precision attacks and movement
|
| 2d mmorpgs over their 3d counterparts is
| |
| | within the virtual world; old school
|
| because of system requirements and
| |
| | ultima online is a classic example of how
|
| capabilities. To currently run World Of
| |
| | an easy interface, simple graphics, and
|
| Warcraft one needs a pretty updated
| |
| | movement made it one of the greatest pvp
|
| computer, not to mention graphics card;
| |
| | games of all time. In contrast, DAoC was
|
| in comparison most 2d mmo's don't have
| |
| | laggy, buggy, and movement was very non
|
| strict minimum requirements and can be
| |
| | user friendly. Five years later in World
|
| played by the masses, including countries
| |
| | of Warcraft it has improved dramatically
|
| that are just getting into the technology
| |
| | but the time/spatial relations in 3d have
|
| era. This is important as it allows users
| |
| | not been mastered so pvp in that
|
| from all over to join in and get a true
| |
| | environment will never be as consistent
|
| sense of community vs a game where it can
| |
| | as that of a 2d game today.To recap:You
|
| only be played by the 'well-off' or
| |
| | don't need to buy the newest hardware to
|
| richer areas of the world.Besides a less
| |
| | play and usually can play on a dial up as
|
| strict requirement to play and bigger
| |
| | well.The member base/community is larger
|
| available player base, 2d games can give
| |
| | due to less stringent hardware/network
|
| the user a "General's" mentality when
| |
| | requirements and gives a more broad sense
|
| playing the game. In 3d games one is
| |
| | of community. No more just playing
|
| often in first person view or very close
| |
| | against rich people.The art is mastered;
|
| to it and they can only see from that
| |
| | the 2d graphics have been pushed to their
|
| perspective. In a 2d mmorpg a user can
| |
| | limits and allow stunning visuals for
|
| see the whole screen/field and make
| |
| | both a realistic and cartoonish
|
| decisions based on that. It tends to lead
| |
| | look.Playability, movement, pvp; 2d games
|
| to a less stressful, more fullfilling
| |
| | just allow the user to run his character
|
| experience as you see all around
| |
| | like a general and pinpoint his moves. 3d
|
| you.Going back to technology, 2d games
| |
| | is still evolving and figuring out what
|
| technology and artwork are pretty much
| |
| | it can and can not do.Nostalgia...don't
|
| mastered at this point, whereas 3d games
| |
| | these great games bring back memories?
