Does anyone else feel that the 3D platformer genre has never evolved?

It has only degraded since the PSX and N64 era.
Aiden Murphy
it needs more sexy little girls. this applies to every genre, however
Adam Wright
It peaked with Jak and Daxter.
Hudson Sullivan
haha look at her go
Anthony Sullivan
Basado.
Jaxon Torres
What genre? It's been dead since N64.
Landon Robinson
It looks like her head is popping off for a bit there.
William Rogers
Speaks volumes when Mario 64- a 25 years old game is still the peak of the genre.
Liam Parker
I wish Jak had a bit more harder levels. The movement system barely gets utilized except in speedrunning.
Carson Morgan
Honesty, how could it innovate? It's already a natural evolution of an already archaic genre. There's not much you can change about jumping on things. The most has even been done was removal of lives and timers.
Jace Martin
bruh

had kid is so fucking hcute
Justin Mitchell
It did evolve. Now it has sexy little girls instead of fat italians or furries.

Honestly A Hat in Time introduce some pretty good ideas but it's looking like it will never expand on or capitalize on them so yeah 3D platformers are dying
The yakuza stage in a A Hat in Time was really good and didn't feel like a typical 3D platformer level, especially since it was a mix between linear and open. Something like that but on the scale of a full game, kinda like a 3D platforming metroidvania hasn't been touched. There's definitely room to grow the genre.

The low poly version is so much cuter. Wish they actually animated her instead of as a joke

I wonder if there are any games that fit that bill.

Shit, this kindles my desire to have kids.
I know it would be something temporary, having my kid rush to me as I get home. Maybe it would happen only a couple of times, but I guess it would be one of the things that would make the effort worthwhile.

It did evolve, the issue is it evolved into "Collectathon" and then into "Open World" and it is not entirely a positive thing.

They don't even get enough games to have a chance to evolve.
Gabriel Foster
Imagine coming home one day to find this gobbo in your home. She says she's your wife now and refuses to leave. Every moment you're home is spent fighting her off as she tries to have sex with you. That would suck haha.
Justin Ross
Well really Mario 64 is total shit.
The camera control sucks, mario takes ages to turn and accelerate, he slides around like a fuckwad. It's only because of changed made in the PC version and the work of modders improving the controls that normal people are enjoying it now. Shit like the odyssey movest mod is infinitely more playable and enjoyable.

Her game is a shooter, you have to leave.

>mario takes ages to turn and accelerate, he slides around like a fuckwad
thats literally the exact reason the game is good
when movement is your core focus then the movement should require you git gud
Alexander White
Lucas Gutierrez
the only thing I agree with is the camera
the movement in odyssey is stiff and boring in comparison to 64 or sunshine. You shouldn't be able to turn in midair. Everyone touts the hat throw jump as the greatest thing since sliced bread but it slows movement to a halt, and it forced the dive to become a crappy version of itself. The hat jump is just a double jump with a multi button input, its never situational or a meaningful choice like the dive, its just the same thing every time.
Mario takes a bit to accelerate and turn, but thats in service of making the game feel good and giving mario a sense of weight and momentum. 3D platformers with big empty maps should have characters that feel interesting to control, not reskinned mouse pointers
Benjamin Watson
There is literally hours of footage with pro speedrunners getting absolutely fucked by the shitty physics, screaming how bullshit it is as they slide to their doom with no ability to recover. the controls are just bad and the programing was very flawed and inconsistent. it has nothing to do with gitting good.
Kevin Gomez
platform games are shooters
you have to shoot your own character's body onto the next platform
Alexander Price
>speedrunners
based mario BTFO trannies

>Mario takes a bit to accelerate and turn, but that's in service of making the game
Literally the opposite of reality. it feels almost as bad as sonic platforming.
Brody James
We have a thread about sexy little girl characters and you queers start talking about fucking mario.
I weep for this site.
Nolan Torres
stfu we are discussing video games here.

yeah, video games with fat hairy plumbers instead of those with qt lolis.
Fucking HOMOSEXUAL. You disgust me.

Hat in time's greatest innovation? Adding little girls to the genre.

it was a different time
Kevin Hill
The only thing the new 3D platformers should do is add powerups, like Kirby does.
Bentley James
Man I wonder when we will get a new Pitfall
Thomas Cooper
They have, the genre just goes by a different name.
Bentley Hill
Those aren't platformers.
Ian Cox
Those don't have cute lgs
Justin Morgan
This.
Still waiting for an open-world game where you run around as a little girl and you can strip naked and shock people or try to keep from getting caught.
Justin Brooks
Okay, platformers have little girls now, but how can we make the genre even better?
Gentlemen, I have an idea...
Jackson Harris
ok, maybe look at the other end of the extreme to see what I'm saying, because I don't really feel like you know what you're saying.

When you play mario 3D world, does mario himself FEEL fun, satisfying, or interesting to control?
There the focus was shifted to precision platforming for an isometric camera, so mario has nearly no acceleration, inertia, and a nearly no feeling of weight. You have complete control over your direction in midair, and because of that theres no feeling of forward momentum. You might have complete control over mario now, but now theres no character to the way he feels. When I play, I don't feel acceleration as much, because speed feels binary; you hold the button and you instantly go into sprint, which is a constant, hard capped number.
Control was given priority over making a character that felt like they had weight or momentum.
Leo Scott
I want an UAB 3D platformer where you can play as all the girls with different abilities.
