Hi Phil, Right. We all have different skills, are good at one thing and not another, and that is the problem. A lot of VI users find side-scrollers accessible, easier to play, and so that's what they prefer.
With full 3d I'm not sure how many people will run into problems. I've been on this and other gaming lists for a long time and I've seen people say they can't even complete the first level of Shades of Doom, its too hard, whatever. That doesn't mean those people are stupid, but they have the problem of being easily disoriented and go south when they were suppose to head north etc. With full 3d we have drop-offs, ropes, ladders, and other 3d elements that add a vertical axis to an already complex environment. If people get confused in Shades of Doom they'll totally be lost in a full 3d environment. Cheers!
