Hi all I don't quite agree with dark on this matter. Although shades of doom is first person it is not representative of mainstream first person shooter games. Although shades of doom is from the first person perspective, it doesn't have a third axis and therefore restricts the movement to 2 main directions. The only game I can think of that uses all directions is lone wolf which isn't quite what you would call a first person shooter. I agree that we have not fully explored what 2D sidescrollers games can do, we have not witnessed proper 3D first person either. At the end of the day, I think Thomas should make the game that he wants, rather than the game that even the majority of users will want, as there are so few audio games out there, that most who want to play a new game will buy it regardless. None of our first person games even have the ability to jump, if I am correct. This is what restricts them to not being full 3-D. There are no ledges, stairs, or such like. This is just my opinion on the matter. Richard
