It’s Time For The Return Of The 3D Platformer

Gamerant

Gaming is an evolving medium, that much is undeniable. As hardware continues to advance, so too do the games that find themselves on it, but something happened after the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo 64 eras came to a close – the 3D platformer died. No, the genre itself didn’t completely fade from existence, but the importance of focusing on those types of titles lessened, as the need to innovate in other ways took priority and new franchises began to be born.

We need Rayman 4, Crash Bandicoot, Jak 4, Banjo-Kazooie and even Spyro to come back

Agreed those games always had new ideas and amazing worlds to explore. everything is all futuristic , boring warfare garbage these days

Genuine-User3176d ago (Edited 3176d ago )

I would love for those games to make a comeback.

In the meantime we have Ratchet and Clank, Tearaway Unfolded and Yooka-Laylee to look forward to.

* We need Mario 64-2.

* Give us those small little levels that are large enough to explore in, yet not big enough to get lost in.

Give us different objectives to complete to get the Stars just like in Mario64, but give us like 400+ stars to collect.

* It's very simply and basic, the blueprint has been there since 1996.

That seems like a terrible idea. The sequels to Mario64 were awesome because they improved on so many aspects. Going back to the style you're talking about would be a step back from the series. Mario Sunshine, Galaxy 1, and Galaxy 2 innovated the series and genre as a whole.

You should try the BanjoKazooie series or DK64 if you're looking for something that you've described

The Last 2 ray man games were incredable, so underrated!! I would kill for a new crash and proper spyro.

I would love a new Conker, Gex, Tomba, new Physconauts and a new Super Mario like 64! I really want Conker, nothing out there like it this gen.

Germany73177d ago (Edited 3177d ago )

These are all the 3D platformers avaliable for this generation:

Super Mario 3D World (great game, the best)
Knack (it's really good, would love a sequel)
Legend of Kay (it's a remake and i like it)
Sonic Lost World (it's okay)
Sonic Boom (really bad)

Rare Replay has great 3D platformers from the past like Banjo games and Conker, classic games and really great, Kameo is good too, not as good as the previous Rare games.

Soon, we will have:

Tearaway Unfolded
Ratchet & Clank
Yooka-Laylee
Lobodestroyo
Ty the Tasmanian Tiger remastered (it's still a rumor)

We still need more, i just can't accept what happened with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro, Sony should have these series back, and it's time for a sequel of Banjo and Conker.

Relientk773176d ago

I'm so excited for

Tearaway Unfolded
Ratchet & Clank
Yooka-Laylee

FallenAngel19843177d ago

We still get number of quality 3D platformers

FallenAngel19843175d ago

Would you rather have more mediocre 3D platformers instead of the number of great ones we get now

tigertron3176d ago

Fortunately we're getting a new Ratchet and Clank next year, and I've heard rumours of fifth Sly game. Now all we need is for Sony to buy Crash Bandicoot.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

As someone that has built a watercooling rig. EK is big, but there's so many numerous watercooling part companies out there. EK's stuff isn't exactly amazing quality for the price compared to others either, it's just ok. Much like Corsair. The impact would be negligible long term. For perspective the majority of my parts are XSPC, at most I use EK for my gpu waterblocks and fittings. Both easily replaceable.
