I agree with you.

I DO believe that fecking 3D killed video games. Nowadays people are so brainwashed by flashy 3D graphics that they are always wating for the latest texture instead of really focusing on the ACTUAL interest of the game.
Just have a look at today's games:
-Car races.
-Doom clones.
-Tomb Raider clones.
That's all.
Really lame, isn't it?

/me misses good ol' 80's arcade games...

Be funky

Did you forget the following genres?

Role Playing Game with 3D GFX e.g. Diablo II, Final Fantasy Series, Neverwinter Nights Series.

Real Time Strategy with 3D GFX e.g. Command and Conquer – Generals, Homeworld, Startrek Armada II, Dark Reign II and ‘etc’.

RPG + RTS hybrid e.g. Warcraft III

Turn Based Strategy with 3D Gfx e.g. Starfleet Command II, Lord of Magic and ‘etc’.

Titles such as Epic's Unreal II has character-based interactions.

Well, those games you mention were not new genre of games.

My post has nothing to do with "new genre of games".

It's about this generalization and I quote;

Just have a look at today's games:
-Car races.
-Doom clones.
-Tomb Raider clones.
That's all.

"That's all" wouldn't be true since there are other types of games for the modern gaming platforms.

We had Dune 2.

With Homeworld and Imperium Galactica, one has to take care of 3D positioning and tactics.

With Westwood Studio’s "Dune 2", it's only limited to 2D positing and tactics. It’s a lot closer to Westwood Studio's C&C- Generals.

We had 3D adventures like Dungeon Master, Eye of the Beholder.

Thought they are RPG.
