The 3D rotating menu picker is cool in concept but I can attest that it took me longer to rotate it the right way the first few dozen times I tried using it. It does make a lot of sense how they broke down the log entries by a hierarchy instead of having all “research” in one long list though.
I think Prime 3’s got the same lack of diegetic UI as Prime 2, mostly because they want to support having a mouse cursor style of control with the Wii pointer. Also they really liked hexagons when designing all the UI in that game.
