Can Tomba, Sheep, Dog 'n' Wolf and Tomb Raider really even be considered platformers? Heck, I'm not even sure if Spyro is a platformer, it's more of an action-adventure game too

we all know its not about platformers or ps1 games. you only made this thread to bait another psx vs ps1 debate. yes the psx was the name of the ps2 multimedia station and no, no one used the term psx I grew up with a ps1 I remember that time.

You'll laugh but that's actually what I've always thought, you can even talk to NPCs in that game. It's an action-adventure game with platformer elements. Same for Sunshine and especially Odyssey

Tomba is more like a metroidvania, if you count it you need to count SOTN as well.
It's often being forgotten since it came out petty late but Castlevania Chronicles is a very good platformer game.

[Anonymous No.10509617]

This is the deepest most satisfying platform game, has no extra fat or weird extrinsic motivations, it's all about gameplay 100%. Umihara Kawase Shun for the PS1 is the greatest 5th gen platformer.

Me too :) umihara kawase shun is the best 5th gen platformer by the way.

>>10509732
keep in mind he's a mid 40s unemployed autist that spends all day defending nintendo, inciting weird flamewars over the name "ps1" and defending n64 and the gc (with his only example being re4) to the death. He doesn't play games. Also he gets insanely upset when you tell him croc was the first game with modern style stick controls where the left stick moves the character and right stick the camera. He has a deep vendetta against croc.

Anway the last things I've recorded are the last bit of act raiser (which I beat 2 days ago), and some soul calibur 1 webms responding to some anon who was convinced the game looked better than it actually did. You'll notice this autist is hyper aggressive over the most mundane shit and reveals a mental complex once you play a game that doesn't have mario in his name. He's also 1CCfag despite being a huge nintendo fanboy.

You literally had to play the game to get a recording. You know most of us are at work wasting time when we post on 4chan, right?

>>10509787
I think Abe's Odyssee is also my fav PS1 platformer, but I agree, it's not necessarily a game I'd recommend if you're looking for a "platformer". But I also think Ape Escape is hardly a platformer, and I love that game too.

Can you prove this is a common behavior? You have a sample size of 1 other person.
Also, I didnt say I dont have time to play. I said I dont record gameplay I've already played. Something you also havent done yet. What's stopping from OP from doing what you did just now? beating 1 level and saying "ya i love this game, been playing it for years"

[Anonymous No.10509883]

>>10509860
I never said it was common behavior, I called you out for asking for something and complaining when you got it. That's faggot behavior, and you deserve to be mocked for it.
>something you also haven't done
They DID post a gameplay recording, you replied to it and complained. What are you even trying to say? I've already clocked you as a faggot, but are you genuinely retarded too?

[Anonymous No.10509901]

>>10509883
I'll re-phrase.
Earlier I said Abe's Oddysee is my favorite PS1 platformer. I've at least played it twice in my life. But when was the last time I played it? Probably a decade ago.
Do you really think I have a recorded clear of that game to prove I love it?

[Anonymous No.10509915]

>>10509901
I don't care what or if you record. I don't even care if you play the games, to be totally frank. I'm focusing on an interaction consisting of three (3) posts in which something was asked for, delivered, and subsequently complained about.

but you didnt do what I said. I said post some clears you've previously done. You didnt, you made a new one.
That's the issue, who has that? Apparently the one guy you were requesting for does (I'm still shocked), but you only posted on-the-fly gameplay. Show me a recording of yourself playing something in the past.

i realise this might sound a bit weird but i've been trying to create an "Atlas Vid" for a long time now about Umihara Kawase Shun. I already did one from the OG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z9QRSCrj0I and it was pretty straightforward because I could encode the TAS no problem and use it as input. There are multiple Atlas Vids already done, do a youtube search and there's a lot, notably by Andy Dick.

I did a test video of the PSX game years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYa54hFPL3M but apparently the current TAS is incompatible with modern versions of BizHawk which is required for RAM dumping and analysis.

Would you be interested in recording an input playthrough of the game on the latest BizHawk? I contacted a few speedrunners but they weren't interested.

Pic related, it's some footage of my program used for drawing one frame of the level data as per the instructions fetched from RAM from one frame of gameplay

Holy shit you're right. I re-read my posts and nothing about my post was past-tense. I said "Post gameplay", not "post clears" or even "post clear of games you've already played".
But my post where I tried re-phrasing >>10509901
specified the situation that I think makes no sense. Are you really asking me to play Abe's Odysee right now to prove I love it? I assumed I was being asked to already have a recording and to share it. "post your clears" sounds like I should already have it, not create it.

2d metroid and castlevania are also platformers

[Anonymous No.10512472]

>>10512336
Yes and no. Technically metroidvanias could qualify as platformers since the most of gameplay consists of platforming but being focused on exploration and having abundant backtracking could be a major turn off when you want just a pure platformer game. And most importantly the quality of platforming in these games usually isn't that great. Both Tomba and SOTN are good metroidvania games but I would never recommend these to someone looking for a platformer.

Like the other anon said about Tomb Raider, it's a cinematic platformer in 3D. Early on it's more of a shooter, but by the end you have do more and more insane jumps to get to the end of the level, until you have you climb up what's effectively a mountain face to win.
