Title: Dungeon Explorer official sites!
Post by: ParanoiaDragon on August 31, 2007, 02:24:10 PM

Not only is there a site for the PSP DE http://dungeon-explorer.com/PSP/index.html

But here's one for DE for the DS which looks to be a different game!  http://dungeon-explorer.com/DS/index.html

I found some movie clips, but, haven't found any music clips yet sadly.

I always get this game confused with the awesome Dungeon Master (http://dmweb.free.fr/) series.

Isometric?  Is everything at an angle?  I think the screen rotates like most 3D'ish games.  They look like Champions of Norrath, which I can handle 8)

I'm looking at the DS version.  I'm sure the screen rotates, but that just adds an unnecessary element to the game... the camera.  Can you imagine playing Dungeon Explorer and having to worry about the camera angle at the same time just so it can be in 3D? I think the graphics could be a lot more lush and colorful, but since it is using 3D textures the visuals take a hit.  Compare Astal on the Saturn to, say, Tomb Raider on the same system (or the PS1, it doesn't matter).  2D graphics will always be more lush and colorful when the 3D hardware is that weak.

Then why don't TI-86 games look more like Neo·Geo?

Let me revise my statement with this extended sentence:

"2D graphics will always be more lush and colorful on a console where the 3D hardware is as weak as the DS'."
