>but if you got any from ps2, gamecube and xbox era, thats cool too

>>1208457

>>1208457

My favorite is Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf (or Sheep Raider). It's faithful to the cartoon's spirit and a really fun puzzle-platformer. The PC version looks a lot better thanks to the cell-shading.

>>1208584
There's a PC version? I need to download it now.

>>1208584
Oh dude, this game was the shit. I was pretty young and barely made it past the 4th stage but it was still fun as shit

And yeah get the PC version, it looks really nice.

The sountrack to the game is really good, some awesome jazz

Glover 64 is ok. Most of the obscure 3D platformers that I knkw which are food were on GC/PS2.
But listen for a minute. I'm seriously. One of the best 3D platforming experiences you can have is rocket jumping maps in TF2. If you just want pure movement and getting from one platform to the next its the deepest thing you'll find. Yeah yeah, not retro.

>>1208584
>pc version
well fuck me

>>1208584
I loved that game until I reached a level with some weird angles and cannons all over the place. Couldn't really see where I was relative to them, and got fed up with being blasted by cannons that I couldn't even keep track of.

The camera ruins most 3D platformers, really.

>>1208643
this is true. which is why im so excited for a hat in time. i hope it starts a trend of 3d platformers with pc controls because a mouse is absolutletly perfect for these types of games

>>1208678
Depends on the game. 3D mario is pretty bad without a stick, but 3D GTA is way better on PC

Sucker Punch's first game, and the unsung hero of the N64. Really inventive stuff with a nice puzzle aspect to it, but obviously in the 3D platformer arena.

You gotta play it--plus red cart!

>>1208683
i think thats really the ports fault pc gta is almost always notoriously bad. but it also is designed with a heavier camera so i guess that would be why. i dunno, most times it seems like it could be improved with mouse controlls. however anything with a fixed camera is absolutly terrible on a keyboard and mouse

>>1208479
not until 2020

>>1208584
>PC version

oh fuck

I love Gex 2: Enter the Gecko. Nice level design, tight controls, and based Dana Gould providing some genuine laughs. Never played the first one, and part 3 was a bit too "in your face" for me.

>>1208434

Bugs Bunny Lost in Time definitely is a gem. Not that obscure but surely not essential.
Great game.

theisozone dot com has it bros. grabbin it now.

>>1210598
I loved playing that, however it is quite short and easy to the point that I 100% it in a few days.

>implying Spyro is a hidden ge-
Oh I see what you did there

Space Station Silicon Valley is somewhere between famous and obscure.
I also enjoyed Sprocket: Robot on Wheels and Gex 2-3 (2 is better IMO)

>>1210475
>>1210990
I love both of these games.

>>1208434

spyro?

more like spy-fail

>>1208434
Rocket and Conkers are musts

SPACESTATION SILICON VALLEY

Probably most underrated platforming gem on the N64.

>Toy Story 2
>Emperor's New Groove

Try Jumping Flash. It's first person perspective, but it works quite well. It's interesting to see a different take on how to do a 3D platformer.

>>1216072
Toy Story 2 is solid as fuck. I still play that one. I only played Emperor's New Groove as a kid tho, does it actually hold up?

>tfw DK64 will never get a sequel and is hated by most fans of the console
Such is life

It's not really obscure, but it's still bretty gud

>>1219367
Because it's a shit game in every fucking way.
Shit platforming, shit levels, shit controls, shit graphics, shit music, shit bosses, shit humour, shit everything. It's complete shit, deal with it.

Play Shadow Man. It's on gog

>>1208692
If you like Sly Cooper you should be required to play this.

I havent played the Chameleon Twist games in years but I remember the first one being good.

>>1220821
....so I just watched some footage of Chameleon Twist 1.

You dont have to play that game, ha. But you should play Bomberman Heroes. I dont think it falls under "essential" category but it is a great platformer.

>>1208631
What makes it deeper than any other shooter's race/jump maps?

>>1220831
fuck, I love Bomberman Heroes. I still wish there had been more games like it.

>>1220831
>>1220843
It's Bomberman Hero.

I played this platformer (I think it was one) on the PS1 when I was young, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was or find it through google. You controlled this kid (blonde I think...) who lived in a huge mansion that served as a hub to several stages. I think it might have had a movie theme but I'm not sure at all.

Hoping someone here might know what I'm talking about.

>>1221229

>>1221248
40 Winks? The levels are dream themed but other than that it's pretty much what you described

>>1210598
The sequel, Bugs Bunny and Taz: Time Busters, is worth a look as well. Personally I'd rate it higher than Lost in Time

>>1221271
No, I'm aware of 40 winks and that's not it. There was no secondary playable character. And the main character dressed "cool", I think. Also I think he had some kind of weird gun.

>>1221248
Rascal, i suppose.

>>1221304
It oughta be Rascal from Psygnosis.
It was released back in the period when a lot of SH on PSX were trying to give a true 3d platform to have something on the console to rival Mario 64.

Graphic-wise Rascal was one of the best things (if not the best) tha had appeared on the sony console until then (GT was still a bit away), but gameplay wise... good lord.

Notice that Rascal was wearing green and purple.

>>1221253
I don't see Medievil in there

>>1224161

No Super Magnetic Neo?

It's madness in motion:

>>1208631

>which are food were on GC/PS2

No game I ever played on GC/PS2 was edible

>>1208692
Finally played a bit of this last week or so, pretty neat mechanically and feels chill overall. A lot of good design concepts within.

I haven't played enough of it, but Super Magnetic Neo has a lot of potential.

>>1228183
...shoulda added some description.
So you're a magnet, and you can either be neutral, activate the north field, or activate the south field of the magnet to push or pull enemies to you or pull you close/push you away from certain objects in the environment. Feels a bit like Crash Bandicoot as compared to other platformers.

>>1228196
Looks like Crash as well
