As I said william, we actually don't! have side scrollers yet.
this really I think shows the problem with discussion of this issue.
while we have some successful fps games that give an idea of what a true 3D
game would be like, we have nothing that gives an idea of what a propper
side scroller should be.
As I've said before, Q9 and superliam and the like are in no way
representative of the side scroller genre, just as galaxy ranger is not
representative of the stratogy genre.
If back before sound rts was developed, Jeanluc turned up and proposed a
stratogy game on a grid, there may well have been people who were less keen
and believed all stratogy games required only control of one unit at a time
and real time arcade style combat like galaxy ranger, which as we know is
not the case.
As I said, i'm not in any way aversed to a 3D game if that's the way things
go, but in considdering the issue, remember it isn't a case of shades of
doom vs superliam here.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
