platformers

[Seydaman]

what are some great or good platformers or have a large platforming part. like assassins creed or n+. i looking for pc and xbox 360, my comp can run (without a doubt in my mind) any game currently out.

Hmm...A platformer...A platformer...*stroke his chin in mock thought*

You know what I can't think of anything....





GET THE PRINCE OF PERSIA SERIES GOD DAM IT!!!

Sands of Time is 360 compatable, and the whole series is available on the PC. You can probley buy the whole lot for under £10. Get it. NOW!

supreme commander and crysis may give you a run for your money on max settings bro.

 

[samsprinkle]

Mirrors Edge is a definate rent. And the new Prince game is very nice. So I don't know, rent them both!

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

I'll add my voice to the masses willing you to buy the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time trilogy. They're worth every penny.

Wait, what the hell? Oh, I think I get it; you're challenging his assertion that he can run any game currently out.

The Prince of Persia games pretty much defined the parkour platforming that you seem to be a fan of; I've heard Crackdown is another good title for that sort of thing, though it's more of an action game. Definitely check out Mirror's Edge. Other than that . . . Tomb Raider?

The Prince of Persia series is a must. Other than that the new Tomb Raider isn't bad. But I haven't played much of it so don't quote me on that.

In before someone mentions Psychonauts and hails the end of the universe as we know it.

By all means acquire POP: Sands of Time but avoid the other two (three).

Why avoid the others? The combat in Sands of Time almost made me want to just skip to Warrior Within all together.

You can't really go too wrong with the new Prince of Persia. Though I'd say just rent it because once you complete it, there's not much reason to go back to it.

 

[notyouraveragejoe]

Mario? Nah just joking. Seriously I recommend (as many have) the first Prince of Persia. It is brilliant.

Hmm i know it's not for the 360 (i don't know of it's for the pc actually), but does shadow of the cololsus count?

Technically more of an action-adventure game than a platformer, but it's still epic.

As for my chips, I'm saying Prince of Persia is good, as is Mirror's Edge, and though not exactly a platformer and not for the Xbox, Okami. Also, do buy Psychonauts. It's fantastic and quirky and fun and all that other stuff.

That's a pretty heavy claim right there, got any specs?

Well the fights in SOTC is still pretty platformerish

Damn you double posts

By which you mean triple posts, of course.

Um...

Knytt Stories?

Oh! Wait! You might be able to get into the beta for Atmosphir! Just google it, you should find it. As long as you have a decent internet connection, it should be fine. It's really cool.

So is Knytt Stories, though, you should try both.

Knytt Stories is very not advanced in graphics, being a 2d side-scroller and all, so you won't be able to gawk at the millions of polygons your processor is putting out. If that's your thing...

He said run, not run well =p

Platform games are basically dead. It's a shame, especially because the N64-era ones are some of the best games ever designed.

 

[n01d34]

The original Prince of Persia, no not Sands of Time, the original because it's better.

Better combat for one, secondly you actually have to time your jumps and finally it will take you longer then a day to finish. Can't wallrun though, so if you really must wallrun then Sands of Time is your girl.

Banjo-kazooie is out on the xbox 360 marketplace. Try it out.
