Now that the dust has settled, what was the best 3D platformer of the fifth console generation?

[Anonymous No.10806134]

Rocket Robot

[Anonymous No.10806163]

Bubsy 3d

[Anonymous No.10806185]

Why Ninpen Manmaru of course

[Anonymous No.10806186]

>>10806132
Goemon

[Anonymous No.10806190]

Tomb raider 1

[Anonymous No.10806203]

The one I like the best.

[Anonymous No.10806240]

I want to say some of my favorites like Jumping Flash 1&2, Mystical Ninja starring Goemon or Floating Runner (not great but I have great nostalgia for it).
But realistically, and judging it purely as a 3D platformer, it's the one you already know, Super Mario 64

I'm going to go with Crash 2, but I also really enjoyed the Banjo games

Picrel is actually pretty nice.
Also it's not a full game but Sonic World in Sonic Jam is impressive. A full 3D Sonic on Saturn was totally possible.

This game sucks ass and people only pretend to like it because its the only 3D platformer on the Saturn(besides Croc)

I liked Crash 2 the most but I would probably give the title to Spyro or Mario 64

[Anonymous No.10807038]

>>10806132
Rayman 2. Though you could argue whether it counts as a 5th gen game given that textures and sound had to be downsampled for the original N64 release and only the later PC and Dreamcast versions contain the original ones.

Tomb Raider

Croc literally created the genre, so I guess theres not much room for discussion here.

It’s like 85% of a good game, but it feels like it was never playtested.

Crash 1.

At that time 2D platformers were pretty much perfected thanks to the efforts in the early 90s with the Genesis and SNES, while 3D was a new beast. I'd say this is the 3D platformer that feels closest to 2D, which many hold against it, but it works in its favor for me, as instead of doing a ton of experimentation, mainly in the camera department, and failing, it simply works...

Either Crash bandicoot 2 or Spyro 2, both jumped the shark on their third instalments.

Anon, the concept of a 3D styled platformer having corridor levels to more closely resemble 2D, instead of more open 3D areas like Super Mario 64, Banjo and Spyro isn't so hard to figure out, when making a 3D platformer you either go with one or the other and this was the easier way, especially in the early 90's. Crash was quite similiar, but it did the formula 10x better really.

Corridor platforming existed before the 32bit era, but Hugo made it mainstream

During 5nd gen, i played 4st gen platformers instead when i wanted that kind of g*me. Spyro was kinda fun though. too bad the remakes get so much art direction wrong

N64. Nothing from the same generation beats Mario 64.

The best others had to offer was platformers with lots of hallways and enclosed areas.

Mario 64 was open and wide and free roaming

Why do people constantly reference this as if it's something so great? It was empty and boring.

Spyro (1) just gets everything right. Instant classic. Still enjoyable today.

Mario 64.
Second place goes to Ape Escape

[Anonymous No.10811726]

nobody wants to say SM64 because it makes you look basic but the answer is in fact SM64

Conversely, what's the worst fifth gen platformer and why is it DK64?

[Anonymous No.10811825]

>>10811819
Huh? I can understand people's complaints about it going a bit extreme with the collectables but no, not even close to being one of the worst.

[Anonymous No.10811947]

>>10807038
its 5th gen
the ps2 version is a significant visual upgrade over the dreamcast version (though it runs 30 fps and plays worse desu)
