Why does everyone keep saying that 2D is outdated?

Why don't we get more games that look this good?

Muramasa is beautiful. Great fun to play, as well, though it gets really repetitive.
And the bits about eating food annoy me because it looks delicious and makes me hungry

My display is 1280x1024. 16:9 windows look a bit awkward, and toggling fullscreen mode results in black stripes or stretching. I don't like either. Maybe I'll grab a DVI/HDMI adapter and try outputting the image on my TV in glorious 1920x1080.spekkio said:Looks to me like somebody forgot to use "Force 16:9 Aspect Ratio" option.
Nope. Machinarium and Muramasa are exceptions. There really should be more 2D games. It's not like they don't gain anything from more powerful hardware: it does allow developers to add extra layers, increase the number of sprites on screen and their resolution. Why doesn't anyone bother to take advantage of it?dr. one said:
Anyway, more Muramasa sexiness:
And you say this looks exceptionally good?
Uh... oooookay.

Yeah, those screens look like shit and that girl in the whore-outfit is obviously underage.

It does indeed look like crap. To boot, it looks like unoriginal crap. It's like the artist took snaps of SNES classics like Tales of Phantasia and Seiken Densetsu 3 to name a few, applied a lazy Photoshop filter or two and said 'HEY LOL CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!' And the characters look like they were meant for a crappy flash game as they don't integrate with the surroundings at all.
at least in their old games the characters look more proper(for anime), Muramasa crossed the line and look retarded.

@KalosKagathos
In your last two screenshots screen settings are correct (aspect ratio). The easiest way to check this out is to observe if circles/squares/rhombs look correctly.
Compare three screenshots in 1680x1050:
Stretched:
4:3 forced:
16:9 forced (correct one):
Of course whatever suits you best is fine

Well, it looks exceptionally good in motion IMO: vidyia

That explains why 2d games used need 10-20 gigs of HD space and current 3d games are all below 2 gigs...oh wait.Destroid said:

Body of a girl + mind of a man? Could this be called a tranny?
It's the animation Shannow - every frame of every animation is a seperate image file. Multiply this by every single different set of equiptment on your character. Games like fallout avoided having to produce larger volumes of art by having only a few different visuals for different weapons, a hunting rifle looks the same as a shotgun looks the same as an assault rifle.
Aquaria looked pretty awesome.
