Even the best looking 3D action games aren't as detailed as games like Barrow Hill. Ever looked at the grass in those 3D games? It looks like it has been spraypainted on the ground. The advantage of 2D is that every pixel and object is unique and hand-crafted rather than constructed and duplicated by an engine.

If they are able to make something looking like this on a realtime 3D engine, then I'll be interested.
