so does this platforming game have...you know...platforming?

>platforming
??? it's a minecraft ripoff bro

I am also wandering this. Is the game predominantly going to just be break shit and dig up treasure?
The bossfights look cool, but I'm almost entirely disinterested in a lot of the second to second gameplay I'm seeing.

I dont think i've seen a single moment of actual platforming in the trailers or gameplay

There's stuff they could do with it. You could have a variant of the Mario 64 slide where pieces of terrain fly at you, and you have to bust through them.
You could have areas where you have to destroy stuff in just the right way to create bridges and platforms to jump across.
I don't have crazy faith that the game isn't going to be 80% Minecraft though.

It's Hulk Ultimate Destruction

flat

>>714148919 (OP)
no.
but as you can see from the image it has low res pixelated shadows and a retarded, ugly as fuck character.

>>714148919 (OP)
When your shadow quality is this low res why even bother including this garbage.
the game would literally look better if you just removed them.

I'm continuously in awe of how lazy and shit the "next gen" visuals are, considering the switch 1 could render things much better than this in Odyssey.

>>714148919 (OP)
In all fairness, they're always talking about it as an action game in the directs.

>>714155652
nope they literally say platformer.
also it's a shallow action game too. you only have a 2 hit combo that repeats.
combat is every bit as shallow as odyssey.
in fact it's like going through odyssey with the bowser hat always on and missing the depth of marios moveset.

>>714148919 (OP)
Has Nintendo actually called it a platformer?
I'm asking sincerely. I don't know.

>>714148919 (OP)
It's odyssey without the fun

>>714155938
yes watch the direct
it starts talking about having fun with the "platforming action"
and I'm like;
>WHAT PLATFORMING? You haven't shown any!

>>714148919 (OP)
clearly seen in the trailer, anon.
Hope they go deeper with it on later levels, like they showed soft materials sticking, vaulting, air roll diving etc even momentum carries from bunnyhopping
I can see a segment later on needing some building, a chunk jump into a dive that you can chain into either a bunny hop or roll jump to clear a long gap.

Will any of it be NEEDED? probably not, they make these games for toddlers to be able to beat, but optional challenge rooms or post game worlds could have that stuff like 3D marios do.

plus DK has always been tailored to harder games and older players, DKReturns for example is pretty hard by nintendo platformer standards. so they may throw more of a bone than mario does.

>>714156167
In that case, it just seems like bait to get you to buy the game.

Here come the nonsensical slide thread spam hour

>>714148919 (OP)
This looked like such slop when it was announced and still looks like slop after the gameplay presentation. If you don't care about Pauline I don't see why you would want to play it. It also sucks that if you were a fan of the 2D DK games they're probably dead and you get "this" now. Now I'm just waiting for Nintendo to kill Mario with open world shit and every series I cared about will be dead

>>714155537
Cast shadows look fine in other screenshots. That must be a fluke. Probably only a temporary dip in quality as a lot is being rendered in that scene.

>>714156819
they've been low res and pixelated ever since the reveal.

>>714148919 (OP)
My only real problem so far is that "fur" looks horrible, he looks like he's covered in feathers
