In the videos you've posted. Unless you don't consider games like Banjo Kazooie platformers either. In which case you don't actually know what the genre actually emcompasses and believe just one variation of platformer is an entire genre. |
90% of the footage was beating up enemies.
According to wiki: "A platform game (or platformer) is a video game which involves guiding an avatar to jump between suspended platforms, over obstacles, or both to advance the game. These challenges are known as jumping puzzles or freerunning. The player controls the jumps to avoid letting the avatar fall from platforms or miss necessary jumps. The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the jump button."
I saw very little of that in R & C on the PS2.
Never played Banjo-Kazooie.
There's more platforming in Metroid Prime than in the first R & C yet no one calls that a platformer.
