As we all know, there have been many attempts at the conversion from 3D to 2D, and there are many in progression now. But why do they seem to fail so much? Is it because of the programming, or graphics? Is it because of people trying to make a job too big? I'd like to know what everyone expects from an OoT2D game now. If it were done in LttP style, would you expect some updated graphics to actually make it a more custom style (like TRM's), or would you be fine with the regular LttP tiles used cleverly to make better looking dungeons and areas? If done in MC style, would you be fine with the original MC gfx, or expect a more custom style to this one too? (Xifixium) Logged

Moved To Discussion.

Anyway I think the main reason they fail is simply because of the work load involved, and the assets that need to be created. I don't think programming is the problem, I could finish of a complete OOT2D engine in a few weeks. No, I think the problem is the huge deal of images, sounds, music, maps and so on that need to be created. I don't think anyone here has the talent, time and commitment to create everything involved. I don't think they realise just how big a task it is when they start :S.

If the remakes were interpretations and just omitted some of the superfluous stuff they could be really fun and exciting in their own right. They would progress way faster that way. Logged
