Um, sorry for the stupid topic name, heh.
This is mostly about strategic games. Let me start with Command & Conquer. I was a big fan all the way. Starting with C&C Gold, Red Alert (normal, aftermath, counterstrike), Tiberian Sun, Tiberiun Sun Firestorm, Red Alert 2, Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge and then "C&C Generals". Although tons of people love this new look, I would much prefer one of the older ones when playing online with a friend. I dunno why, but I just love the overhead look and really enjoy playing like that and Generals just seems sorta 'newish' with the look, etc. Maybe I'm one of those guys who doesn't like too much of a change, but whatever - my question is what is your opinion on this? Prefer the new look or the older one?
Then the same thing happens to Age of Empires and other series by Microsoft. I loved AOE, AOE2, Conqueror's expansion and even Age of Mythology. But when it comes to new ones like Empire Earth by sierra and others, they just suck. :x
Then we get Duke Nukem... big fan of Duke3D - "It's time to chew some gum and kick some ass!". And then we get these newer ones like the 2D/3D one mixed together - manhatten project or something ... didn't play it but saw it over at a friends house... and compared to others - that sucked.
So what I'm asking is... all these new GAME STYLE CHANGES ["NOT Graphics Enhancements"].... does everyone seem to like them or are there a few who like the older looks? I'm one of the oldies, I guess.
Anyway, hope I get a couple of replies to this and sorry for writing a bit too long.
*Edit* - I also heard some stuff about "stereo quake effects" from Val... dunno what it was as that screenshot I saw rather made me nausiatic instead of making me impressed...
