well i think something like it would change between both like x7 but this time with more balance wall jumping wouldnt be so clunky on 3-d and maybe make them run faster too as for 2.5-d maybe like make it so that you could see below you so you wont falling on spikes because you couldnt see.

Well I also vote for 2.5D. The retro gameplay is what makes MM....well MM. 3D, for me, just doesnt fit with the game. BUT it has to be said....its hard to even imagine another 3D MMX game because of the bad impresion X7 left, so its hard to be imparcial.

Anyway 2.5D is what made X8 a better game than X7, the key is to make improvements and feautures that goes with the gameplay. And if its so much trouble, who said the "3D part" must be in the main gameplay? like I said before, why not be able to walk acroos the whole hunters HQ instead of having just select-a-stage screen??

2.5D:   2
3D:      1

Honestly,if Capcom took their time and learn from X7, then I have faith that they can make a successful 3D X game. Its important to learn from the past. But personally I prefer a 2.5D!

2.5D, only because it makes the gameplay a little more challenging and the controls feel better.

I vote 2.5D. It worked nicely with Maverick Hunter X, and would probably work nicely with X9, if they ever make it. I almost wish they did that with MM9
