Differences between 2.5D and slideshow

MoonBird · 09-15-2007, 06:17 AM

Hi adventuregamers!

I was just wondering, what is the difference between these two... let's take 2 games, as an expample:

1. Undercover: Operation Wintersun (which is mentioned 2.5D)
2. Secret Files: Tunguska (which is mentioned Slideshow)

I have played both two demos and my opinion about their graphics was that they could be from the very same game. I really didn't notice anything that would change the presentation... So you wiser

Tell me what is 2.5D exactly?

... I wouldn't describe Secret Files as slideshow, personally (although I do see that in our database).

That explains a lot... It's still described as slideshow here in the AG

That could be referring to how it appears on the DS, I guess. I don't know a thing about that version.

There are a few games, a few categories misrepresented at the moment, so don't worry if you see one that looks wrong for now (if it's still wrong in a month, then it's a problem.

) We're still fine-tuning the keywords, too, so there may be a few more changes coming.
