The screen grabs you show are better than this hugely successful game. Sure, some AG players may not have liked it, but it would have made a larger headway towards mainstream gamers. |
Golden Eye came out 2 years before Gabriel Knight 3...
I'm not arguing against 3D, but clearly some developers weren't cut out for it at the time.

Case in point:
Shenmue came out a month after GB3 in Japan. They're not even comparable.
I'm a huge advocate of 3D adventure games, but they've got to be done right. If you're going to give me the blandness of
Still Life 2 or the horrible character models of
Memento Mori then I'm not interested. But give me
Dreamfall and I'm over the moon.
