specifically on the ps5 since that is the only current gen console i own

but i miss the days of mario and banjo and motherfucking space station silicon valley and spyro and ratchet and ESPECIALLY my dude sly cooper

but i guess in today's gaming landscape which is focused on forever multiplayer with microtransactions or general bigness, they've been forgotten. i did like astro's playroom and rift apart tho. might be getting a switch soon to play some mario odyssey as well.

anyway yall got any fav 3d platformers? any recent ones you especially like?

I'd like to see more of them in the style of Crash tbh.

I don't tend to care too much for the more open style of 3D platformers. Spyro and Croc were pretty good, but the rest of the notable ones didn't appeal much to me. 2D platformers tend to do it much better for me; and that's probably why I like Crash so much - whereas most 3D platformers are in some way a different genre than 2D ones, Crash feels more like 2D platforming adapted to 3D.

They've always been a poor substitute for 2d platformers, imo.

Hat in time is really fun

I've been on a 3d platformer kick lately so I agree

So? He didn't mention it so I thought he might like to try it if he hasn't. Is that a problem for you?

I think I already played most of the 3d platformers I wanted to play. Like, there's no doing a better Crash Bandicoot trilogy. I suppose there's still Odyssey to try.

I enjoy them and I will always welcome new ones but my preference is quality 2D platformers like the Rayman games.

Just weird that six years removed from the release of this game its the only game people recommend when someone wants new 3D platformers

Probably because it's the last non-Nintendo 3D platformer that was pretty popular. Maybe there have been some others since that are worth checking out. I just haven't tried any.

ps2 era was peak 3D platformer in terms of technical achievement. PS1/N64 era was peak creativity in 3D platformers. I wish we could go back to that era. Alas....

I think the closest thing I played to a 3D platformer in recent times was Neon White last year, which is a FPS(but more platforming-focused than shooting) platformer. It was lots of fun.

Would love if someone could recommend some more recent 3D platforms that are solid but Hat in Time is the only game that usually comes up in these topics
