Wich is gonna be the platform of the year?

wich is gonna be the platform of the year?

Odyssey purely because of the Mario name.

Hat in time will get wiped from existance in a few weeks time

I would ask the soothsayer, but her office is closed due to unforeseen circumstances.

Obligatory meme answer of Super Lucky's Tale

the one that doesn't have loli jailbait.

Odyssey will have more content for sure, but Hat in Time will still be fondly remembered as a cute little game regardless

These two aren't even in the same leugue

Odyssey, of course lol. There's not even reason to compare them.

The one that people will remember past November.

what kind of game is a hat in time and is it worth playing

no

bubsy

Lets see

>15 huge worlds
>4 cluttered poorly designed acts

Collectathon platformer that plays kind of like mario 64 and has a ripoff of windwakers artstyle. The game pretty much sells itself on the fact that you play as a loli or as they call it "heckin cute girl". The fact they use the "heckin" meme shows how fucking stupid they are.

I'll show you a true meme.

It's a 3D platformer, much in the same vein as Super Mario 64 or sunshine in that it's a mission by mission type game, though the fourth world is more like Banjo-Kazooie by letting you just do whatever? And some parts also kind of remind me of Psychonauts.
So essentially it's a greatest hits of the 3D platformer genre, controls pretty well, voice acting is nice. It's pretty short in comparison to those games (There's only 40 of the main collectable in total and that's all you need for 100%) but I'd definitely say it's worth playing. If you don't feel like paying 30 bucks for a shorter game then just pirate it, doesn't matter to me either way but I'd say it's worth your time.

>platformer with awful artstyle and awful level design, as well as clunky physics
>vs Mario

hmm

Is it just me or did A Hat In Time appear literally out of nowhere

it's been in development for 5 years, so just you

well if odyssey isn't better nintendo might as well shut down the company

We all know it's going to be Odyssey no matter what, but A Hat In Time will almost definitely come in second, which is pretty impressive for a game made by some no-name devs with just under 300k.

It was a kickstarter game that's been in development for 5 years, so it eventually fell off the map but everyone who backed it or had followed the game back then suddenly remembered it existed in the days leading up to its release.

Its worth a pirate.
once the switch version comes out, I'll buy that one.

Mario is a $60 game. It's gonna be better.
I'm having a blast with AHiT though, it has a lot of charm and small details you wouldn't expect from a kickstarter game.

Only way AHiT beats Mario is if there's no way of going faster than holding down the "go fast" button, but I know that there's rolling and sky diving so hopefully it's okay.

Hat in Time is surprisingly good but if you think it can measure up to a AAA Nintendo game you are fucking deluding yourself because you feel bad you don't own a Switch

Yo Noid 2.

The Crash Bandicoot remake.

>The game pretty much sells itself on the fact that you play as a loli or as they call it "heckin cute girl". The fact they use the "heckin" meme shows how fucking stupid they are.

So a game is not allowed to let you play as any type of girl without Sup Forums assuming that it's sexually pandering to somebody. You know normal people don't see cute children and immediately think of fucking them right?

A Hat in Time is great, but I doubt that it can compete with Odyssey

I still get offended when people compare it to wind waker, its more akin to the mii games in terms of pure artstyle.

litteraly who?

It would have looked better if it tried to be Wind Waker. The facial textures clash so horribly with the stock Unreal lighting and shaders

>thinking this is even remotely a competition

lolifags are so disgusting

"Normal" people won' t buy this game. There is no other coverage than pedo loli shit for this game.

Underrated.

A Hat in Time could be better in everyway and Mario would still win

You are incredibly naive.

AHiT is a good solid platformer, but all it does is copy-cat everything that has been done so far. Good if you have a platforming itch you needed to be scratch but don't expect to remember much about it after you're done with it. Mario isn't even out yet, so no comment on it.

kek

Sorry boys, I'm already at the finish line.

Something HiT nailed was being able to sequence break platforming sequences through mastery of the movement mechanics, I hope Odyssey is on the same level in that regard.

Also the fact that HiT gives a score for each Time Piece makes it feel like it will have a bit more replay value for people like me

I'm a huge AHIT supporter and adore the game. It's a solid 9.2/10 in my book but Jesus fucking Christ. An indie game with an extremely modest budget of 300,000 created by a team of 7 vs a AAA, Nintendo-backed franchise juggernaut that has come to DEFINE video games as we know it. If Gears for Breakfast were to become a 3rd party developer for Nintendo, then possibly, there's a slight chance. But until they get the blessing from Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft, Mario and it's not even fucking close. However, I am extremely interested in seeing what comes next from Gears for Breakfast.

Ew

>through mastery of the movement mechanics
pls be trolling

It doesn't matter how much they will sell or reviews, do you think Odyssey is going to be better in your personal opinion?

Heres Mario skipping the first objective entirely and going halfway across the map

/thread

I agree it is platformer of the year... and that year is 1994. What about 2017?

20k sales on steam, maybe 30k total.

I'm not expecting a sequel

wait, are you going to be able to infinitely combo that throw > dive > bounce?

Looks like you can only bounce once per jump

Mario Odyssey, and that's not to say A Hat in Time is bad by any means, but we're talking about a kickstarter project vs. a AAA 3D Mario game developed by Nintendo.

Nintendo will patch this. Maybe. Probably

Superior taste.

If its only once and not gamebreaking, its gonna be fucking awesome.

They intentionally designed it so the first time Mario hits Cappy he bounces, while the second time he just collects Cappy without resetting his dive. It seems to be something they anticipated and intended

Nani
Is HIT really on ps4

Not until after Odyssey launches

A Hat in Time already got Mario Odyssey beat in charm by a mile but Odyssey will be much more solid and polished of a game. the worlds/level design in A Hat in Time is pretty lacking to be honest, the levels feel rather bland and thrown together

I am glad we are getting at least two good 3D platformers this year (and one shitty one (Yooka Laylee)). the king of genres is back baby.

>comparing a multi million dollar game to an indie 300k kickstarter project made of 7 people

I thought it was already out on all platforms (besides switch which may or may not be coming)

Feels good man. I hope we see some more 3D platformers considering 3 in one year is more than we've seen in a long while.

>You don't want to fuck the kid, must be naive

Do you want to fuck a greasy plumber?

Well, someone in the last hat in time thread said it was on the same quality level as mario and goty for many while also having the whole defence force behind him supporting his claim, which probably pissed some people rightfully off.

Odyssey oozes charm though

Why does other people having a high opinion of a game upset you so much?

Why do you need to question me, who only tries to educate the (presumably) underage kids claiming something totally absurd because of their lack of experience?

idk, but I gotta say so far, A Hat in Time has a better soundtrack than what they have shown from Odyssey.

>on the same quality level as mario
It is on the same level of quality as 64 or Sunshine, yes. The controls feel fucking fantastic.

When it comes to controls and gameplay it is on par with mario.
It's only lacking (and quite a lot) in content and polish.

Honestly it's probably the worst time to release the game.
>Overshadowed by cuphead in the indie scene
>AAA release season
>Mario Odyssey about to come out

They were fucked in sales as soon as Odyssey was announced. A year earlier they would've been fine.

>controls
>overall quality of the game
No it isn't on the same quality as mario 64 and sunshine, not even regarding the controls. To be fair its the best part of the game, next to the hat variety but it still feels floaty because of how substaining momentum in the air is managed. The multijumping and dive mechanic makes it incredible easy to skip a lot of content, while the shitty camera and potentially landing on a surface in the wrong angle sometimes causes buggy animations. Also jumpping off a wall doesn't give you control over your character right away, probably to avoid even more gamebreaking skips, but still makes it fell more unresponsive.

This is the type of game that will grow over time with word of mouth, like Hollow Knight. HK stated with shitty sales as well and now has over 400k games sold on steam.

>Odyssey has been in development for less time
>Will have five times as much content
Why is Hat in Time getting away with this?

Oh, it's you again.

By being a low budget indie game, pretty much

Mario games have always been about a greasy italian 40 year old tracking down and fucking an underage aryan princess.

this desu

One is made by 7 amateurs
The other is made by 100+ experienced professionals.

Lucky looks like Skylanders if Conker was its mascot instead of Spyro and if Skylanders was actually good

Five years. For three worlds, a lava hallway, and a train. Five years.

>Furbait

I want to like this game, but it feels so generic and you can tell that it's going for a kid friendly feel, but instead it just looks like a game you give to your 4 year old toddler. The flow in that webm shows that it has some potential, but I dunno man. Feels like Knack all over again, where it's just forced onto a system for forced variety.

It's the only 4K (FORKAY) platformers.

>The quality of a game is measured on the amount of maps
hmmm

I just want a well budgeted 3D platformer on PC. All there is right now is indie shit and Mario though. And I don't think that's going to change.

honestly looks real nice for kids, not sure there's much there though for anyone older/platformer fanatics

Mario Odyssey
also hat in time is fun, i expected nothing more

The biggest problem with this game is the fact that nobody's talking about it. Nobody knows it exists, nobody knows it's even out yet. The Xbox One and PS4 port should remedy things a little bit, as the team is still hard at work, working on the free DLC worlds. Assuming they get the Switch port that they've wanted, they could make the splash they needed to. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an ingenious viral marketing campaign behind it like Cuphead did but as more and more big Youtubers stream the game, the sales should steadily continue increasing over time. It's proven that it can appeal, the fact that people so vigilantly talk about it in a mostly positive light on Sup Forums of all places is paramount, let alone the universal acclaim from the Steam reviews. All we can do now is wait and hope that the cream eventually rises to the top.

>wtf you like video games how dare you

I sure hope it sells more, cause I really want muh free DLC

I'm going to be honest with you. It's just looks like a platformers for kids instead of man children like myself.

>still no rips of the loading screen art


reee

mario because nintendo bonus and the other one is an indie game with zero marketing.

A hat in time is a really good game and I'm proud of it.
But at its best it's like as good as 3D Land, the worst 3D Mario (which is still a compliment)
Odyssey is on track to be possibly the best 3D Mario, if not right up there.

That's the thing though, if Nintendo didn't give them a ton of trouble with the Wii U, there'd probably already be a Wii U/Switch version on the way. You can't deny that a Nintendo console would most likely get the most sales for a 3D platformer of all things. I'll pick it up on a sale either way though, looks pretty good.

thats the joke you fucking retard

Mario has those sexy baby characters. Baby Peach is the best!
