Oh boy.
This is going to earn me some real bad rap, but I could not contain this rage any longer.
Why the hell is the codex so excited about a 2D isometric game engine similar to Infinity engine???????
I mean guys if it were still 1998 it was A-OKAY to say that Infinity engine was the best thing since the invention of sliced bread. But it is now fucking 2012; with the end of the world looming overhead you still want an age old technology.
Why?
Let me summarize my reasons to oppose it:
1) A 3D engine is a 2D but better: A 3D engine is of course automatically a 2D engine with more projections possible allowing you to navigate through a lot of perspectives and giving you more tactical choices. To ask for less is either nostalgia goggles, sheeple-tude or plain retardedness.
2) A 3D engine can look better: It can. Before you say that graphics are not important and that I am graphic whore, please notice that this is the second point; meaning that after the mechanics is handled correctly there is NO FUCKING reason to expect bad quality graphics. Only retards are still happy with pixel graphics when better options are very much possible and available.
Now I have been here for an year or so and the typical defense I hear for infinity engine is:
1) It has beautifully crafted background
Please dear retard, that beautifully crafted background has nothing whatsoever to do with the engine. It has to do with talented artists. A talented artist can USE A 3D ENGINE TO MAKE A BETTER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUND.
2) Infinity engine allows better control over party dynamics during battles:
Again this has nothing whatsoever to do with the 2D of it. As stated earlier 3D engines can do that better.
I can understand how RPG engines have been disappointing since infinity engines; NWN or NWN2 (it is the same engine anyway) could not capture the artistic beauty of IE games.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN ANYTHING WHATSOEVER.
Art is not upto the engine but up to the artists. It does not even matter if the same artists worked on these games. The engine if designed well can give you the freedom to make beautiful games. Just because past attempts at 3D game engines failed does not mean that e.g. Obsidian should make 2D engines. They probably are using your retarded Nostalgia to save money on making a revolutionary 3D engine that can make better content.
Think over this and now tell me why are you so excited over 2D engines.
