This is not a decision I made lightly. I gave it a great deal of thought, and testing, over many years. I would strongly encourage everyone to give it a try before condemning this system.
Judging from the videos, it still looks and feels like it plays like Descent, so maybe tricording really doesn't make THAT big of a difference.
...most multiplayer games tended to devolve into something not dissimilar to a modern fighter sim: People flying around in a forward-ish direction, pulsing the AB and spewing weapons fire until they pass, then zooming around a corner.
I disagree that it should be a setting. D3 does not have a "descent-1 mode". Starcraft does not have a "Supreme commander mode".
...people who complain and talk about not buying/playing a game because it lacks some feature from some other game they are a huge fan of are simply sticks in the mud, imo, and should not be paid much attention.
