Lets talk about Eric's Latest Tweet "3D Mode"

[pixelbyte]

Eric didn't state this in the tweet, but i would call it 3D mode. As you can see in his latest tweet, theres an image. The Image It looks pretty cool, and I would want this as an option in the settings. The Walls on both sides makes it look a little weird, but It should look like that because you can't move on Z Dimension. (Basically you can't move left to right, just forward and up.) But It does look pretty cool, really cool infact. If Pb2.5 became Pb"3" then it would be awesome, might even become an fps and put on steam for a price, which would be much more awesome. But its a flash game, And I would say its a disatvantage to just use flash, but coding other stuff needs different languages, which I dont think eric has. (Basically he can only code flash player, but not stuff that would make a stand-alone program thats a game) (Or maybe he can do that, but has a reason not too) I'd really like to hear any of your opinions on it. Like for example:
Would you use 3D mode if it was listed as a setting?
Would it be more competetive, more fun? 3D Eric gurt Railwars. I remember someone making a topic about waking up to being inside pb2, and this is what it would be like (if it wasn't 2.5 dimensional)
Do you think it would improve the game to have a setting like that? Would more youtubers be interested in the game if they knew it had such feature in it? I think it would.
Please answer if you can! (If you want)

3D in a mainly 2D game would be super inconsistent to a point where it wont even feel like its a part of the series but instead some out of place game with the pb title slapped on it

As Eric said, the only things that look good in 3D are the walls, the characters and guns are in 2D what will make it terrible in 3D

[mrblake213]

It would be terrible.

And hard for us mapmakers.

It would be terrible.

And hard for us mapmakers.

As if many are saying it would look horrible in 3D since PB2 was always a 2D game, if you make PB2.5 a 3D game it would sort of ruin the series.

This is really interesting. Really shows you what you can do with flash today. The game will remain 2.5D.

[Terror Only]

i'd foking love to have an option to turn the 3D mode on.

And hard for us mapmakers.

don't say "for us". maybe for YOU it would be hard to build something in 3D but not for everyone

Really shows you what you can do with flash today.

eric gurt's maze was 3D and when was it released? a long time ago

2.5D excited to see how it would look like in 2.5D mode.

[artichokecat]

It looks cool. But here's a problem.
If it's FPS then you can't look behind you like you can in PB2 which is a sidescroller.
You can still turn around, but you can only see what's in front of you.
You get what I mean.

If it was 3rd person like that in super tight corridors idk how that would work.
I guess it could but it'd be weird?

In terms of mapmaking you could still design it like the same way
Pixel is right that it's still the same dimensions. It would just look different in game.

[wreak]

I don't know why but it looks too closed in for me and this would be exceptionally hard to make something like a base. Plus this feature would just completely change the platform of the game giving it a weird addition to the pb2 series.

[tehswordninja]

Every model in the game would need to be remade in 3D, and that would take ages. As much as I'd like to make use of this mode, I doubt we'll be seeing anything in 3D besides the walls in this mode.

I WANT 3D STOP BEING NEGATIVE OK? -_-

[Hikarikaze]

I WANT 3D STOP BEING NEGATIVE OK? -_-

A lot of people don't want 3D however. Stop acting like this game is going to be designed the way you want it

[tehswordninja]

I WANT 3D STOP BEING NEGATIVE OK? -_-

No one has been 'negative'

It's called having an opinion.

And in this case, fact. In order to make full use of this 3D mode, literally everything besides the walls (and maybe water) would have to be made into a 3D object, which would take a huge amount of time to do. This would be extremely resource intensive, and this would put a lot of strain on Flash.

If eric wanted to make a 3D game, he'd do it on something that could handle it.

[Kostadin 8]

it would look really cool, but its designed for a 2D franchise and it will never change.
infact as ninja said "this would be extremely resource intensive" which flash can't handle it.

Do not forget that this game is side-scrolling 2d shooter
