[General Discussion] Are developers afraid to make 2D games on Consoles now?

It seems this way. I know there wasn't always the power to make 3D games but now that there is, you don't see any 2D games on consoles.

Only really on the GBA. Do developers think it's a waste of power to make a 2D game on a big console or something.

Or do they think it won't get as many sales as a 3D game would.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've always thought of that happening as well.

When graphics get as good as they are gonna get, then people are going to want to spend $100 (I'm guessing that will be the game price then) on a game with great gameplay and not buy a game solely because of graphics.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I thought of that option but then I thought, gamers have a limit to how much they will pay for a system.

Especially, the peer pressure issue. It's "geeky" to pay a lot for basically anything unrelated to clothes or cars.

I guess this is sort of going into another category but it has to do with why Virtual reality like stuff wouldn't fare so well. Unless it's cheap, which it most likely won't be.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well, I'm always happy with 2D sidescrollers with 3D backgrounds.

I feel it's a good way to stay update with graphics and keep some good sidescrolling gameplay.

If a game has the ability to have 3D backgrounds then I say go for it. It can really only get better.

How ya doing, buddy?
