The classic "Graal is the best 2D game on the market, why make it the worst 3D game too?" argument. It's valid...I think it'd be interesting if they did manage to keep the 2D style in a 3D game. Of course, most of Graal's charm is that the 2D style also encouraged 2D development, giving us stuff like the Gerudo Tents, etcetera..."I has paint, I makes graphics lolz", which you can't do in a 3D game. It'd either need a ridiculous buttload of predefined objects to skin (or a very clever small-load?) or an enclosed editor, as the average Graalian isn't even going to download a free editor to work on things - poll how many LATs bothered to download Flash even though Graal supports it now, the number won't be high.
But all told, it's an interesting concept. Could wind up like Futurama, mostly 2D with the occasional 3D flourish just because they can - use a locked camera angle for most of it, then as the player walks through the door the camera pans in after them...it's the Standard Classic Overhead View until they draw their bow, then the camera darts in for FPS mode...the player approaches the mountains and it pans down to Platformer View...might be more trouble than its worth, but we'll see. |
