People wanna shoot shyt and hide behind cover when the screen fills up with raspberry jelly until it goes away.

[Dominic Brehetto]

Theres tons of great 2D indie games.

But I need a nice new 3 D one.

If you like 2D platformers then

If you don't like 2D platformers then

Has there been a Ratchet & Clank recently? I know its not a pure platformer but those games were fun.

Platformers are a dying genre in console gaming. Even kids these days play nothing but shooters.

It's been out, and it is fire.

Oddworld Inhabitants/Lorne Lanning got screwed over hard by EA. We were supposed to have Squeek's Odysee and Hand of Odd but lol EA.

2D Platformers are killing it right now, but the budget for 3D platformers doesn't really warrant a revival for that series. Nintendo guarantees at least a good one.

Honestly...Sunset Overdrive is the closest you'll get to a great, current gen 3D platformer. Insomniac also has the Ratchet reboot for PS4.

Naughty Dog doesn't want to do platformers anymore, you can tell they were done with the genre when Jak 2 released.

There's rumors of Banjo-Kazooie returning...

I made a similar thread but I found a backlog of ratchet and clank,jak and daxter and sly cooper to keep me busy
Sonic straight up left though

There's one coming out this year supposedly for PS4. The last one was trash(it was some weird shyt on PS3.)

Hopefully Nintendo will save us with SM3DW2 or SM3DL2 sometime soon. (not getting my hopes up...this is nintendo after all)

shyt, Galaxy 3 would be incredible, but I think they killed that series
