I beleive that if Introversion used 3D graphics to help Uplink sell then it might have ruined the game.  Just like sensible soccer this game is based on gameplay with the graphics that it does have giving a sence of mysteriosness.

Does everyone agree with this or do you beleive that some sort of 3D graphics could improve Uplink?

3D GFX would have ruined the game. That is not what it is all about. I mean how would you intergrate 3D GFX into a game like this? It is more a terminal console than a 3D game.

I think that 3d graphics would ruin the feel of Uplink.

I believe the general consensus is going to be, we play Uplink cause it has good game play, it doesn't need anything else.

As those before me... I do not believe that Uplink is the kind of that that would benefit from any kind of flashy graphics such as 3D. Why? Because as has been said before, the game just isn't made to be like that. The game was made to look as it is, and too much more would really spoil the effect.

It could be intergrated like it is done on the film Hackers, although that was a little too tacky.

Watch Jonny Mnemonic - then you'll agree we wouldn't want a game looking like that internet if it stinks as much as the film

I think the 3D graphics would ruin the game.  It 's more strategic kind of game than a FPS like "Deus Ex"

I would like to see it just for the hell of it. It would be fun to see where they could actually find opportunites for 3D graphics. It would be a completely different game, but who knows whether or not it would 'ruin' it?
And where does Stalin come into all of this?

I think this game could use more console commands

Having 3D graphics for the sake of 3D Graphics is wrong, but the menus should have been easier to use (mouse wheel support, keyboard short-cuts for running commomnly used software)
