As I do agree some games have come along such as "it takes 2" and "Kirby TFL" in recent years, I still feel that there doesn't seem to be a priority for them even with Nintendo where we are lucky to get one maybe once every 6/7 years. Most consoles can only account for 1-2 3D plats a generation IF that. I would just love to seem more devs tackle the genre the way the indie devs are right now. Just crazy to think that Odyssey and TFL are the only 2 3D platformers we have gotten from the big N in 10 years.

Indie titles ensure that no genre will ever actually die. The concept of genres dying is a very 90s and 2000s thing, back when only actual major studios and corporations were able to make videogames. Once technology advanced enough that lone individuals and small teams were able to make high-quality games (the 10s), that spelled the end for any genre of game ever being able to die.

Just my 2 cents of course. But I would think 3D takes waaaaaay more time & effort, not to mention level planning, than 2D. So it makes sense that developers would pursue 2D over 3. More work for same pay (or possibly less) doesnt make good business/risk sense. As games like Meatboy and Hollowknight proved, its easy to use old ideas to generate new experiences in 2D games and people love it. Im admittedly biased for 2D and against 3D myself. (Marioland 3D a major exception!) But the original 3D games suffered from being walking sims…huge empty lands you had to “explore” but were empty. Aka time killers. Give me tight, restricted level designs with difficulty spikes…feels like you’re achieving something. I digress. But, I also imagine thats a real challenge of 3D. You cant just put a huge gap there and let the player struggle to platform, in 3D they’ll just walk around. So how do you fill this giant space with entertainment and danger without it becoming a walking/box-pushing sim? (Spyro was a decent example of lessening these problems)(I have some favourite 3D/open world games, but I’ve yet to see any that arent stacked with fetch quests and open world time killing.)

3D platformers need to bring back the gravity system. There is still so much potential in making almost everything in the game interact with unusual gravity. The gravity system opens up so much more possibilities in designing levels. One of the most important things in making a 3D platformer is to design levels with the camera in mind. Don't push the full responsibility of controlling the camera to the player with a one size fits all camera system. Give players the option to control the camera, but don't make them multitask platforming challenges with controlling the camera.

Me after remembering the "Nintendo has forgotten about Mario" video: Ah sh*t, here we go again.

There's plenty of Sony and Microsoft console platformers that they never go back to. That is unfortunate because Nintendo proves that platformers are very lucrative in the video games business. For Sony's PlayStation 1 and 2, you had the Sly Cooper series, Ratchet and Clank series, Jak and Dakter series, Crash Bandicoot series, Spyro The Dragon series, Gex, Croc 1 and 2, Rayman 1-3, ect. Then you had the super obscure weird 3rd party stuff. Microsoft XBOX? Blinx The Time Sweeper 1 and 2, Psychonauts, that's about it really. Everything else on XBOX in the genre was multiplatform.

I'm not losing hope. Someone just need to come up with a game concept that was never tried before.

Some franchises are just not necessary when it comes to making a new entry. I mean the original people behind Sly Cooper have already left and told what they wanted to tell, so why make more? We just need a finish series that are clearly unfinished like Castlevania. Although something like Crash Bandicoot could benefit from a new one. I think the main issue is that 3D platformers are just so hard to make compared to 2D Platformers. And I think Donkey Kong just fits way better in the 2D space. I love the Donkey Kong Country games more than Donkey Kong 64.

If anything it’s going better now a days thanks to stuff like Kirby and Sonic coming into their prime / reliving their prime.

I think the problem is just that 3D platformers aren’t popular streaming games. They’re not bad, it’s just that these types of games are made for solo experiences. Only made for the enjoyment of the player, rather than the viewer. FPS games are much more popular because they are entertaining to watch and never get old. Not just FPS, any games that involve playing with people online or watching people play online is fun. Such as Fortnite or GTA races or even Minecraft manhunts. If 3D platformers has a way of doing stuff like this, it would be much cooler. I think SMO videos were dying until somebody made online multiplayer. Then it became bigger again. It might just be that game developers don’t make games that won’t get much attention online.

I'm so surprised you didn't talk about call guys, call guys is probably the only reason any kid knows about platforms.

I agree. We should have a new big 3d platormer at least once every month or 2. I like action adventure or puzzle games but nothing compares to a good 3d platormer.

Didn't we just have Spongebob Squarepants: The Cosmic Shake last year? That was a 3D platformer,

Oh no

I think titling this video 3D platformers are dead was a bad idea. I think the topic is good but saying they are dead isn’t true in the slightest. But I do agree. More 3D platformers would be welcome.

sonic is literally the only non indie and non nintendo platformer that still going strong in 3D like frontiers, dream team and SXS generations. If sonic still being successful within the market alone, it could give hope of motivation for other non nintendo and non indie platformer franchise to joining the competition. Because lets face it indie games won't do much as a whole industry, we need other AAA company too beside sega or nintendo since they are the main attraction on hand like in awards or events.

I don't think they were ever hated, it's just that people aren't making enough of them anymore. They would just create linear adventure stories and shooting games because it's the most popular thing now.

Ya, the World has Become a Violence Loving Darker Place to Live! And I Half to Ask the Question, WHY?

indies will always push for mario 64 platformer, have no worries.

PlayStation beat Super Mario 64 to the punch with Jumping Flash but it was awkward as heck. Same goes for Bubsy 3D. N64 in 1996 really showed how 3D games were supposed to work and the rest of the industry followed. (most of them did anyway. Looking at you, Mega Man Legends.)

Super Kiwi 64 is even bigger and better now with the latest DOOMSDAY update.
