Letīs take the old Indiana Jones adventure games for example. They were all hand drawn. Few years back, they made a new Indiana Jones with 3D graphics. It looked horrible! Every game reminds of another nowadays, back in the 2D times every game looked totally different from another.
The day a 3d blue square box replaced a lovely had drawn picture of a blue locker was a sad day as all the art was taken away from the locker, but as technology advances I think 3d graphics are becoming far more personal and artistic than the plain boxes and effects 3d grew out of.
Back in the early days of 3d games could not express them selves because 3d was not artistically flexible in the way 2d was, but as technology improves 3d starts to become just another medium for games.
It is true that however beautiful 3d is, it often lacks the endearing simplicity that 2d graphics have. However, this does not mean it lacks the art and beauty or personality that modern technology has allowed its creators to express.
