Whats wrong with topdown views these days :(

[Hedge]

I dont understand why all games need to have full blown camera angles, 3d this 3d that etc..

I been playing Diablo 2 today as i mentioned in another thread, and from a viewing perspective, other than the aging visuals, the top down scrolling view is great for games.

New tech could add amazing textures, and maybe a camera that could zoom in and out, and phenomenal detail.

I wish it never got abandoned as a way to play games. Im sure its not just nostalgia that makes me love the viewpoint of topdown gaming

You mean like metal gear solid games?

Last mgs game i played was the first one when i first had a playstation. So actually id never even thought of that.

Maybe im just not looking at the right games/overlooking things.

I just see from picking up boxes on the shelves in game stores or looking at screenshots.

Things like Alien breed on the amiga... were awesome, but if they get remade. (watch me be proven wrong lol) it will probably be an fps or something.
