>>45388430Totally agree. If GF would have kept on building on their top down overworlds and animated battles, they would have saved themselves so much grief.
They clearly aren't suited to working in 3d, the lack of abstraction they can create makes every place in the 3d games feel empty, and the quality of their textures are a lot worse than their sprite work.
If they stayed with 2d, they would have been able to deliver more complete experiences. Even with their incompetence , GF would have made smoother looking and smoother running games due to 2d games being less resource intensive, not to mention the amount of content that could be stuffed into each game as a result.
I get that they wanted to move onto 3d as a next logical step, but their discomfort is more than evident in the 3d titles they have produced.
