Do you think that 2D games will die someday?

Nope. Never!
I saw people yelling about the end of 2D when Virtual Fighter was released. After almost 20years, 2D is still good and fun.

I certainly hope not, cause I play a ton of 2D games.

They died during the mid to late '90s. It's only in the past few years that they've enjoyed a comeback. Gaming is still a new entertainment, we don't know what will be popular next year, let alone later on in life. Your best bet is to focus on what you enjoy, but learn all the tools in order to perform your job well. 3D modelling is used in 2D gaming too, and you should never write-off a whole portion of the industry because who knows where your big ideas will take you. You may only have good ideas for 2D games, but if you or a friend comes up with a great 3D game idea, it's better to know your stuff than to lose out on an opportunity.

There are still plenty of ASCII games prospering so, no, 2D will not die.

Impossible.

Humans are only able to visualize objects that are in 2 or 3 dimensions. Games, and everything else, will always be made in a way the human eye/brain can perceive.

"Indie" is not a genre of games. I don't know why people keep referring to is as one.
Super Meat Boy and FTL are both indie games, but would you say they're the same genre?

And no, 2D games will never die because they're still going strong even though 3D games have been around for 20+ years.

There has probably been more 2D games released since 3D came around than before it was around... basically, no.

3D tetris is way more complicated and convoluted than 2D, so no.

NO

Tell that to fighting game fans (with some exemptions -- Tekken, Virtua Fighter, etc.) and all hell will break loose.

When you were born, Pokemon was still in 2D, that's why you're saying that.
Old 2D games are still the best for me. :3

impossibru

Niet.

2D games it's still awesome. Personaly, i don't play any game on 2D on PC, but on my phone, i fucking love games in 2D.

Terraria it's 2D, it's one of the best 2D games (my opinion).

Surely someone will think again to bring back to life the 2D games. We just need a clever idea and a serious games company.

I love 2D games.

Your uncle is an idiot, live your own fucking life.

There is and still will be an market for 2D games if the concept is good and unique.

Another thought:

You're 14. Start making 2D games and worry about the industry later. You have a lot of time to learn 3D if the need arises. It doesn't matter if 2D will die in the long run (though it probably won't). Most likely you will need to adapt to doing things a different way over time, as anyone in the programming or game development business has done. So do what you want and can now, and adapt if and when you need to.

There will always be a place for 2D games, even if its popularity ebbs and flows over the years. Most genres fall out of disfavor eventually, but that vacuum just creates a market down the road. Case in point: adventure games post-Grim Fandango.

Don't think they will die, mainly because indie games exist and they usually use 2D.

this is what i think, i really love 2D

Yes, in the long run.

You can bring up points that 2D will never die, but the way the past generation is declining I can see 2D games becoming non-existent.

Ofc not, but 3D is preferred by most people.

I think 2D games will never die. Think of how awesome some recent 2D titles like "Super Meat Boy", "Papers, please!" and "La-Mulana" are. Sure, they might not be as visually stunning as, say, "Skyrim" or "Battlefield 4", But they are still fun games to play, being "Papers, please!" a really innovative game, and I guess the same could be said about both the original "La-Mulana" and its remake.
And there are great 2D flash games out there as well ("Mardek RPG" series, "I am an insane rogue AI", "Robot wants" series, "Snailiad", just to name a few), and people love them.

Thanks a lot friends, now i feel much better and i thought and learned a lot of things from you :). I think study 3D too it's a very good idea :)
I really aprecciate you, thanks :P
