Video Game Genres - 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. =)

Hey gexup, I am working on a game review, and if you don't mind, can I reference this video on the 3 kinds of 3D platformers section, I will be sure to credit you! If so, thanks :)

[gexup]

@AQreviews Help yourself, my friend. I don't own any of these names, I had to make it up because these 3D Platformer subgenres needed names. So go ahead & use these names of these subgenres.

The Video Game Genres series is here to inform people to know a specific video game genre =)

Platforming games, whether 2D or 3D, are definately for the real TRUE gamers.

Sure, Story and Character Development is a nice thing to have in a game. But not when you want that over the actual game.

That's one of the big reason's today's games are becoming shit: Too much focus is being put into the Story and Character design and graphics. And not the gameplay.

All the levels and collecting bring out the real gamers.

If your looking for a fantastic story with great characters, go watch a movie!

In my experience the N64/PS1 and PS2/GC/Xbox eras were better than the current generation of Consoles because I think people were more open minded to different types of Games unlike today where its about Blood, Darkness and Realism.

Soo........was it SuperMario64 the game which first brought the 3D platform to the gaming world?

[BHibbard95]

@sonicsneakers i guess you are right there, I just preferred Mario 64 for its open free box worlds

[sonicsneakers]

@BHibbard95 mario 64 - classic square box levels usually consisting of towers you climb by walking around and around and around and around till you get to the top

mario galaxy - several boxes connected by linear segments with many items to find, star bits to collect and power ups to unlock. Every Star takes you on another adventure through the same world.

Thank you for making this. I'll be sure to use this for artistic inspiration.

7:05 He has never played Rayman 2, it's more epic at the end than any Final Fantasy game.

RAAAAAAAYMAAAAAAAN TWOOOOOOO~~~ My favorite game of ALLTIME.
