Why Fixed Camera Angles Were An Awesome Trend
(N4G GameCube)

In recent times, a lot of trends that were pioneered in the mid-late 90s (but then later went away for some reason) have begun to rediscover their popularity. It seems like literally every two months, theres a new (cool) homage/ throwback to old-school FPS and RPG being releasedable to both stoke the nostalgia fire of veteran gamers, as well as bring new ones into the fold. The trend is pretty evident in things like the again-popular 2D Metroidvania genre, the somewhat resurgent immersive sim genre, more JRPGs being made than they were before, beat em ups, classic- style platformers etc. etc.
