I agree. Dimensions are evil. The fewer, the better. SW should definitely be a 2D FPS. Hell, I think AO and AE should be remade as 1D platformers.
Tongue removed from cheek, I concur with the majority view. Back when MO was still in production, I dreamt of a 2D version being made alongside it for the PS1 (knowing how unlikely it was that I would get a PS2 or a PC with decent specs). MO might survive a transition to side‐scrolling fairly well, its gameplay mechanics not being too dissimilar from those of its predecessors (mostly possession and rescuing), but doing it would not be doing the story, the character, or the franchise any favours, financially or artistically. MO needs to fleshed out, not flat‐packed.
SW? 2D? We had 2D shooters years and years ago. They were called shoot ’em ups, and they were dire. SW was beautiful, wholesome, rich, heartfelt genius. You can’t have 2D Sergio Leone‐style shootouts. You’ll have to keep dreaming your dreams in your personal time. I can’t share them with you.
