I don't know, man. You might be onto something with the image of a first person cartoon-ish world. That aesthetic might be very cool and interesting. The quest for the most real realism will get boring eventually, right?
The painted and cartoonish world of the 2D adventure games was very cool (in fact I'm playing the Leisure Suit series now, that while not great, fulfills that nostalgic itch), but who knows what comes next.
I specifically tried to mention cartoon references and skipped mentioning any live action influences/parodies to Space Quest as the point was specifically that Space Quest is as much a cartoon influenced aesthetic as it is influenced by live action or "photo realistic" works (of which there are very many, too many to list), because the point I was making was that specifically I don't think Space Quest itself would work the same in live action/3D/"photorealism", and you would lose a lot of the intentional aesthetic moving to it. In addition to parodying live action works, Space Quest was a cartoon, not just for technical reasons but for art reasons.
