Video Game Genre – 3D Platformer

(Episode 1) This is the first episode of this new monthly series that I’m doing. That is Video Game Genre because we have SO many video games put in a category where they have a lot of similarities and should not be ignored. The first episode of Video Game Genre is my favorite genre in gaming; 3D Platformers/Platform Games. 1) This is where I first discuss about the brief history from where the genre originated and was created for what it is today. 2) What every 3D Platformer has in common that made it a 3D Platformer. 3) Mention the pro & cons 4) And talk about my overall opinion of 3D Platformers, or Platform games in genreal. For those who waited for this video, sorry for the delay, but this video took me an entire week to do so if I miss anything, don’t bother to mention it. I’ll be doing more of video game genres videos in the coming future, not a weekly thing, but rather wait for a new episode of this series for a month or two. Hey, maybe while I’m at it, maybe I can do some reviews on the games that are in this video that I haven’t already done yet. =) So if you liked this video give it a thumbs up and share this video to someone who likes Platformers or someone who hasn’t got into it yet. Maybe in the future, we would have just as many 3D Platformers like in the 90’s & early 2000’s. =)

    I love 3D platformers, I hate how they are over-shadowed by over rated shooters like Halo and Call of duty.

    I’ve been trying to save up heaps of money for some new releases coming out in the next few months after that I’m going to save up some cash and buy myself some old 3D platformers that I haven’t played in YEARS!

    Conkers Bad Furday here we come!

    One problem with this video although, How could you put the Toy Story 2 game in the bad movie games when that game is AWESOME! XD

    @SuperPro6UYA33 You know I was thinking of doing an episode on RPG but each and everyone of them are different; turn-based, tactics, shooter…

    Well it would take me about a month to do the next episode because I got a list of videos I want to do and doing video game genres takes a long time to capture every footage I need to put in the video. I’ll see if I can do RPG shoots, but first I need to do my research =)

    Great vid dude. Very original. I love the Sly appearances. Also, you wouldn’t believe this, but I remimber playing that Bugs Bunny game. Good times
    Anyway, 3D platformers are awesome. I hate that there aren’t that many around now, but I do like how some games like Mirror’s Edge and Assassin’s Creed serie still use some elements.

  5. SuperPro6UYA33 says:

    Will the next episode be RPG shooters?

    @hoobajoe Good idea! Instead of a Top 10 and miss a lot of 3D Platformers, how about a Top 20?

    Does anyone else want me to make a video of “My Top 20 3D Platformers?”

  9. hoobajoe says:

    WOW! This is awesome and the most original review I’ve seen in a very long time! You pretty much sum up everything about this genre, man. And man, it feels like a breath of fresh air to see you finally talk about Gex since months! Thinking of doing another video of Gex?

    One more request, you’ve been talking about 3D Platformers, I really what to know… Can you do a Top 10 list of your favorite 3D Platformers! I’m dying to know!
