Playtonic Forums

So Super Mario Odyssey, huh? Seems like Nintendo jumped on the open world 3D jump 'n run comeback train. Looks good, but those realistic looking people next to Mario in New York look a little off and remind me of the Sonic games.

I'd say Perfect Dark because it's one of my favorite games of all time but I don't know how involved the people at Playtonic were in the creation of the original (if at all). I'd sure enjoy a fun straight-forward shooter with lots of hidden secrets and a cool local multiplayer mode (I hated those hu...

Kinect Sports was good for what it was - a motion controlled party game. They had some funny ideas and I enjoyed playing it with my friends. Even back in the day when they already released AAA games like Donkey Kong Country and Killer Instinct they also gave us 'Ken Griffey, Jr.'s Winning Run' - a w...

I actually really liked Ghoulies. I didn't expect anything when I bought it for 3 bucks but once I gave it a try I couldn't stop before I saw the ending credits. That humor, music, graphics, lovable characters, fun gameplay as well as tons of easter eggs and cameos felt so much like classic Rare tha...

I don't hate modern day Rare, they just didn't convince me to buy an Xbox One yet. You know, I loved Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Kameo and both Viva Piñata games, so I don't regret buying an Xbox 360 at all. Even slightly disappointing titles like Conker: Live & Reloaded, Perfect Dark Zero, Banjo-K...

This is looking (and sounding) awesome! I can't wait! :D :D.... http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160606/rki6vwgy.png Nice nod to all the complaints about Yookas lack of clothes - and also towards the old company mascot Mr. Pants, I guess? http://www.dkvine.com/games/gallery/albums/artwork/imp/mr_p...

Back in the day Rare always had some of the most graphical advanced games of their time, it seems Playtonic is picking up that torch! Wow, I seriously didn't expect that - since the XB360/PS3 days even garbage games look so shiny that I somewhat didn't believe that there would someday be a new carto...

Unfortunately, Tooie is one of the most complex N64 games, and emulators are still bad at it. I tried one time and the puzzles to unlock worlds were all white... Try the Glide64 Final plugin + Project 64, I didn't have any issues with Tooie. It's really pretty after setting up some graphical enhanc...

I was wondering, would Okami qualify for the list? I mean, it's technically an action adventure inspired by Zelda, but there's still lots of platforming and exploration in that game too, with jumping, running around, creating lily pads to hop on to, all that good stuff. Yeah, why not. While it's a ...

Actually, I don't have knowledge on building a blogspot of any kind either. That's why I thought you had the knowledge. If you did, I would've helped you. Plus, trying to put every game in that list is time-consuming. I don't think it's too hard, I managed to create a blog at Blogspot, but I didn't...

Very cool! I wonder if he was aware of our lists (before John mentioned them in the comments) or if he is going by the Wikipedia article. However, Mini-Reviews for all those games are a great idea!

Now it almost feels complete. I don't know if you're updating the new list, but you forgot to add Spongebob Squarepants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman, some classic 3D platformer Nickelodeon games, all of the Nickelodeon mashup games, some Cartoon Network games (like Ed, Edd, & Eddy: The Mis-E...

Okay, I was forced to create a second thread . "Only" 60000 characters are allowed and I had more than 120000. ;) I added a lot of licensing garbage but also some forgotten gems, so have fun checking out the new list! :D @bjaxx87 Before you update the list, I think is time you made some ch...

There are a LOT of games I haven't played, so I'd appreciate any help assigning them to the correct lists and replacing the question marks! # 40 Winks/Ruff & Tumble (PSX/ROM of the cancelled N64 version was leaked) --> N64 prototype patch platforming: http://dqshrine.de/images/icons/025.png ope...

Since I posted a thread for 3D Jump 'n' Runs in the spirit of Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64 , I decided to create a second list for other 3D platform games which don't meet all of the criteria. There are many, many platformers out there that play vastly different than Banjo but are still a lot of...

Thanks again for all your support, my next update is in the works and it's gonna be a big one. ;) I already found that Wikipedia list last week and checked most of those games. Many will be added but some are just too far away from games like Banjo and Mario 64 (e.g. Mirror's Edge, the Jumping Flash...

Adventure and 06 did, and depending on how open your definition of open world is, Generations and Unleashed did too. I don't know about '06, Generations and Unleashed but while Adventure had an explorable hub world, the heart of the game consisted of straightforward action-oriented levels (I think ...
