RE: The Death of 3D Platforming Games
Hmm I've never been one for platformers, although I noticed that recently more and more indie companies produce old-school 2D platformers, so it might still be possible to see games like those you mentioned. Personally I might want to try some of those platformers that take the genre from a more artistic\romantic angle, but the good old days of running and jumping might still return :)
Well then, it seems that my feelings for this genre of games are not as alien as I thought they might be. Glad to hear that some time in the future you may try out some games like the ones I brought up (except Bubsy 3D, that is pure, unadulterated trash).
As a man who has played and finished Requital (arguably the worst, buggiest, most senseless game ever made for PC), I'm ready for anything! Keep in mind that I don't go along with pads, as I've always played with keyboard & mouse, so platformers that are thought for being played on a console are really hard for me :P
Well, that is kind of a shame, seeing that the 3D platformers are console-centric. Then again, emulators allow for keyboard and mouse controls, so where there's a will, there's a way.
