What exactly is 2D and 3D visual communication?

2D vs 3D...which do you prefer?

  • i grew up in the atari,sega genesis,SNES era. a time where arcades were actually worth going to...and though i appreciate 3D, few kids of this new generation may have never thought of trying games like Q*bert, BURGER TIME,CONTRA,SUPER C,(CONTRA 3),CONTRA 4(SNES)even POCKY & ROCKY(SNES)the 2D METROID SERIES,2D CASTLEVANIA, just because they are not 3D,(some handhelds have 2D i know)i could go on and on, but these 2D games were the most memorable, fun games as a gamer i have ever experienced. yes i know technology must move 4ward, but i still love my 2D games and one series that should 4ever stay 2D is the SF(streetfighter)series. some 2D games dont translate well to 3D, again the SF series. shucks i almost 4got DOUBLE DRAGON 2(love the game), but then if it wasnt 4 3D no HALO, no GOD OF WAR, and true gamers out there, PLAY DRAGON QUEST VIII now...my point is,2D haters,dont hate,appreciate theDIMENSION that paved the way for those 3D games we all know and love now.

  • Answer:

    2D, only because the games usually have better gameplay. The 3D games focus too much on the graphics without much focus on making the game fun. This is why so many retro games have been made.

I do prefer the 3d games, but I also grew up with the games you listed. However, what most game companies nowadays don't realize that the majority of the games that are old staples and STILL enjoyable, while they had sharp graphics in their day, they had GAMEPLAY to match up with it... and hell, that's the main thing when you think about an excellent game. If you love to PLAY the GAME, then it's a keeper. So why all this crap about "Oh god, this game looks sooooo GORGEOUS!" and yet you get tired of playing it an half hour in... I can give you one prime example! The Bouncer for PS2... oh man, that game looked awesome when it came out, and yet the developers laid an goose egg when it came to the gameplay. Sheeesh!

2D and 3D don't matter to me. I'd rather play a good 2D game than a bad 3D game. Content is more important than graphics.
