The Platformer Thread: Aaru's Awakening is out!

Only Metroid Prime 1 can be considered a real platformer IMO the other 2 were more focused on shooting.

Raven boss was great, Yoshi’s Island definitely ahead of it’s time and to this day under appreciated.

it wasn’t but it was mind blowing for its time as far as creativity because of the rotating background…and of course the music.

I spent about $250 on steam between black friday and christmas deals so it will be awhile before I buy anything else, but I really want Black Knight Sword. IGN’s retarded review criticized it for being too hard and playing too much like Megaman or Castlevania…:wtf: That kind of comment just makes me want it more.

Orochi is this your alt account? Some shrewd views from this poster right here. LBP on someones best platformers list? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Your opinion is fucking terrible and I hope your Sackboy plushie comes to life while you’re sleeping, anal rapes you then kills you for being a piece of shit IRL with no taste.

If you think I’d make an alt account with THAT kind of taste you clearly don’t bother reading my posts :lol:

LittleBigPlanet is pretty GDLK although too floaty and not something I’d play over and over again like most games mentioned in here.

No one mention Rayman:Origins yet?

No love for Taito-style platformers?
Bubble Bobble
Don Doko Don
Snow Bros
Zupapa
Fairyland Story
Tumblepop
Liquid Kids
New Zealand Story

What does SRK consider to be a platformer? Pretty much every arcade game I played as a kid that wasn’t a Fighter/Shmup was a side-scrolling platform game
Shinobi/Shadow Dancer
Wonder (+ Monsterland)
Magic Sword
Wardner
Legend of the Kage
etc etc

^Yeah those all count too. If the screen scrolls and you jump a lot then it’s a platformer.

I’m sure someone did. I’d also like to name drop Mark of the Ninja.

Been playin through the Sly collection recently in prep for Sly4. Forgot how damn good these where, makin me much more excited for Sly 4 then I already was.

Why is metroid prime a platformer again?!

Because there is lots of platforming in it?

black knight sword is tight, and it plays more like castlevania than megaman. i posted about it in the ps3 thread, but it’s definitely worth checking out, if not just for the art direction itself.

i bought giana sisters (sp) a platformer that got released on steam via greenlight and am excited to play it. looks spectacular.

Yeah… I never finished 3 myself. I think I got bored with it’s repeated Ocean’s Eleven antics. 4 looks nice though. BUT NO ONE WILL FUCKING CARE BECAUSE THE NEXT GEN IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER. Thanks for making us wait so long Sony and Sucker Punch and whoever is actually developing the game. Sly couldn’t even get a damn game on the PSP. Sony. You stupid.

Sorry. Anyway yeah I think the next platformer I might fuck with will be Bleed on Xbox Indie. It’s a twin stick platformer with triple jump air dashing action.

you guys are forgeting shinobi and kunoichi and ninja gaiden.

I’m not a huge fan of the art style, it’s kind of cool to look at in small doses but not sure I’d like a whole game’s worth, but still it’s made by one of the best developers around and looks like the hard old school platformers I love.

Giana Sisters is on my wishlist.

:wtf: No YOU guys are forgetting Shinobi (3DS version), probably the best platformer I’ve played this generation.

I’d like to direct everyone’s attention to the next GDLK platformer, with demo!

^You should all be in SRK’s Steam group at least.

I’m bumping this with some blatant, but on-topic, promotion.

The guy what made IWBTG?

He’s making a new platformer.

And it’s awesome:
