Assume I have a game that will be using a fixed camera (for gameplay reasons). Can I achieve better over-all graphic quality with 2D graphics or do the super high-end 3D engines with new graphics cards make any advantage go away? I would think that with today's powerful cards, some pretty spectacular detail can be had at 2D with a shorter development time than for a huge 3D game. I'm not normally a graphics person so forgive me if my question is simplistic. [Edited by - Ned_K on November 4, 2004 12:26:02 AM]

2d background with 3d objets, like Resident Evil.
