That's a platformer in name only.


Ratchet & Clank is very much a platformer in gameplay.

Here's what a real platformer looks like.

I'll get it on PC if it's good. It looks really good and the artstyle is cool.



Day one buy for me!! Hope it gets good sales across the board.

I hope the gameplay is just as good as the visuals!

The gameplay looks smooth, responsive, and a little difficult too. Saw some previews from Gamescom last year and I think this one will pose moderate challenge.

I do hope it plays as good as it looks. Apparently Never Alone was a bit of a let down despite being a great looker. Fingers crossed.

I am sure Moon Studios won't disappoint. This may be their first time, but the gameplay clips shown thus far is most promising!

It looks very pretty. Although, I'm not seeing where it looks so much better than many of the other platformers out already. Rayman looks great, sort of similar art style. DK:TF looks great. Trine even looks great. I think it will fit in well with all of these. Doesn't look better, but doesn't look worse imo. Gameplay is where these games need to shine and it doesn't look too bad from the small bits they showed.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

This game got a 5 year development time, it must be great.

Day 1 for me.

Well, I believe that while it may not look as eye popping in terms of detail against Donkey Kong, lack the shading style of Rayman, or contain vivid lighting effects like Trine, Ori and The Blind Forest reminds me so much of EarthBound in terms of vibrancy and simplicity. I cannot wait for it, and my body is ready.
