Saz you can't really say that first person = old school. I might not be a huge fan of the ultima games but unless I'm off my rocker nearly all of them (excluding ultima underworld) were 3rd person back then. Most of them were full top down. Also yes many of the gold box games were 1st person but many of them were 3rd person as well. Also I think it'd be off to say the black isle games deviated from the norm. If my memory serves me everyone thought that rpg's were dead and it was becoming very rare to find them on the shelves then Diablo came out and all the sudden it was like "RPG's back". Course you might say Diablo wasn't an RPG because it deviated so much [img]smile.gif[/img] . Either way I'm going on to much I think the reviewer meant to say that Wizardry has a very interesting take on turn based play in 3d that is very unique. He's just an idiot and had to think of it in terms Quake and use words like fps because his brain is hardwired to think that 3d = fps.
Frustrates me though that they let these dolts write reviews without having a proper history on computer games. I bet the revier hasn't even heard of mule [img]smile.gif[/img] .
I gotta say though I still don't get why some of the older players don't like the bioware games so much though I think it's a shame
. From the way I always looked at it bioware fighting was like finally having the wizardry phased turn system w/ a top down view. You'd hit the space bar (pause) issue your orders then let the fight happen for a few then pause and issue new orders and repeat. Same thing happened with my dad. He felt it was too frantic till I pointed out that pressing the space bar constantly makes it the same as a turn based game with better animation then he loved it. Oh well heres to hoping that people like Never Winter Nights ok that game will be delicious.
