Which do you guys prefer, 2d platformers or 3d platformers?

>> No.3666414

This is a board for retro games.
What do you think?

I think your being a little hasty

>> No.3666419

Is there even any decent 3D platformer?

>> No.3666425

3D mostly because there is so much shovelware in the 2D platformer genre.

Out of my favorite platformers:
10% 3d
90% 2d

I think both have qualities and different strong points.
I personally don't have a clear preference.

I have a clear preference for 2D, but still appreciate 3D platforming.

3d is 100% shovelware

This for me too. I really like platformers so its hard to pick a favorite between 2D and 3D.

I think 2D platformers tend to have tighter, more focused gameplay, whereas 3D platformers tend to have stronger adventure/exporation elements with considerably more variety in gameplay.

>> No.3667873

Manley 2d, but only some games can pull of 3d

There are more good 2d platformers than good 3d platformers, but the best 3d platformers have better gameplay than the best 2d platformers.

That's what Metroidvanias are for.

I think there's more good 2D platformers than there are 3D platformers, but the best 3D platforms are better than all the 2D platformers. 3D has a higher ceiling.

2.5D are best.

Seriously, 2.5D games are shit.

> Jarring mix between 2D and 3D elements
> The style is never uniform so it's much difficult to make the graphics somewhat passable
> If the resolution is low the 3D will look like shit, if the resolution is high the 2D will look like shit

2D is the way to go.

I don't think there is a single 3d platformer I've enjoyed. Maybe Isometrics if you count them as 3d.

As long as the camera and view distance are fine, I don't have a preference with regards to their fundamental gameplay differences.

This is almost completely true. A good 3D platformer has depth in its controls. Not to mention, a 3D space has more room for creativity (and more room for error).

I say almost because there are so many incredibly boring 2d platformers. I am lumping the indie shit in to this category too. I would say though, the best 3D platformers are better than the best 2D platformers but I would also say it's a close race.
