Niggles: Sacred 1 good
Sacred 2 very good
Sacred 3 a turd
jalister: It seems like there is a trend in sequels that having nothing in common other than sharing the name. I've seen several of these "sequels" that have horrible reviews.
true....
example of another game series: jagged alliance
the 3d remakes of JA are in my opinion f-ed up
i love the orginals but all those wanna be 3d remasterd versions and new stories are crap
Another example: Monkey Island
When these games got their 2d graphics it was beautiful, monkey island had beautiful graphics
lateron replaced by dull 3d graphics.
lateron everything has to be done in 3d , thats the part where most games fail
If you wanna make old school adventures dont use 3d...
3d is best suited for games like Call of Duty and the like, these games are excellent
All other games like adventures and/or jagged alliance games should have default 2d graphics
I know that creating beautiful graphics like the old school lucasarts games had seems to take more time, then using another 3d engine, but then you create a unique setting, never use 3d, it messes up and makes everything look the same, when using pixel or handdrawn graphics evry game can get a unique look and feeling, with 3d its just change the faces and textures but basically its all the same.
