I said it was some vague reasoning, not an argument. It's not even the main reason why I didn't finish it. The main reason was GTA4. And, it is slightly difficult to move yourself back into 2D after the technical beauty of GTA4.

I just don't see the point in remaking VI in 2D. Commercially it would be more successful if it looked awesome. It would have greater critical acclaim if it made the transition to 3D. For them to keep it 2D would be laziness.

And 3D would allow the game to convey the serious undertones of the game in a much more subtle, realistic way. Body language for me does not involve a sprite jumping up & down with exclamation marks around their head.

I'll put it this way. Watch Sin City or 300. Would they have been as good if they were filmed in the traditional manner? The visuals aided the storyline and the themes of the movie. I'm not saying that VI should be done in a similar style, I am just saying that having good visuals aids, rather than detracts, from a game.

Anyway, I am going to try finish VI this week. I have lost the plot a little bit, because it's been a month since I last played, but I'm sure I'll be able to recover. Maybe by the end, I will understand everyone's point.
