A 32x32 sprite is harder than modern 3D? I doubt it.The OP thinks it was a lazy decision, and lots of people are saying it was "cheaper" to go 8-bit style. That's completely incorrect, it's a LOT more work to hand-draw animated 2D art than it is to make a 3D model, rig it, and then move bits around in a modeling program to animate it. The reason companies very quickly jumped to 3D rendering of 2D games is because of how much cheaper/faster it was.
The stylistic choice to make the game a "neo-retro" game, as if it was a long-lost NES game in the series, wasn't made to save any money or effort.
It's not suppose to look like a Disney cartoon.
