      @@MercilessJoey That’s not to say Sony wasn’t heavily involved. They basically published the games themselves and had a bit of creative input as well. Sony of Japan was also responsible for the creation of Coco Bandicoot, since they believed Crash having a little sister instead of a tall mommy gf would appeal to Japanese audiences better.
      Universal were the IP holder, but they’re not a gaming company, in fact they didn’t actually publish any Crash games until they bought Vivendi in the 2000’s which actually gave them a publishing arm. That’s why Wrath of Cortex was published by Konami.

    Ignoring this weirdo, I'm so happy we got a critically praised AAA 3D platformer that isn't Mario, because that's so rare now. It's my favorite genre, so I kinda hate that Mario seems to be the only series in the genre that gets that kind of attention. I hope Astro Bot gets some insane numbers, so other publishers will make more.

      We had it good in the 90s and early 2000s. The PS1, PS2 and original Xbox were full of 3D platformers, more so than Nintendo.
      7th gen however pretty much wiped them out except Ratchet and some licensed ones like Alice or Toy Story. I think the N.Sane Trilogy and A Hat in Time helped bringing them back because I have come across more 3D platformers on PS4 than PS3 even though many were remakes or remasters like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger or Klonoa but those releases have been slowing down again since the PS5 launched.
      If Astro Bot actually sells well, I expect other studios to jump in on the bandwagon just like they did for Souls likes. Copium time.

      Do you get it? Is it defrosting in the attic?
      NINTENDO isn't being unreasonable here.
      They aren't trying to put 3D Platformers, or Kart games, or Free Roaming Creature sims, or any other delusion hysteria on notice.
      They are squaring off at the most efficient vectors of a game that IS, actually BLATANTLY imitating their brand identity, from exploitative commercial gains.
      If NINTENDO wins; which they probably will, PP will be forced (quite reasonably) to make the game NOT MISTAKABLE even accidentally for POKEMON.

    Look, I’m a massive Nintendo Fanboy, and I absolutely love the Super Mario series. But I will not tear apart a game because it is similar or takes inspiration from a Nintendo platformer. Any creator has the freedom to create whatever they want, and Team Asobi did an amazing job creating a solid platformer. I’d even argue it’s better than some 3D Mario games. I may prefer Nintendo, but I will always give praise to other games that deserve it. Astro Bot is one of those games deserving praise.

      THE MAJORITY of its design traits, are blatantly derivative.

    Harman has made 4 videos on Astrobot, and the game came out 4 days ago. He has made a video on Astrobot every day since it has come out, and is claiming it is awful and failing despite the fact it has barely had time to do anything. The games that live rent free in his head always seem to expand, when anyone who isn't Nintendo gets a game with positive reception. Let's see we have Elden Ring, who has been there for 2 years, BG3 which has also become a forever resident there, Palworld, Black Myth Wokong, Space Marines 2 and the Warhammer community in general, and now the cute little robo boi is fitting in nicely there are well.
    I mean I bet minus Elden Ring (which he only played because Garaa called him out on it). He hasn't played a single one of those games.
    Also who was hyping up Knack? Even back then Game Journos were calling the game, medicore to awful. Not just Metacritic, Edge gave it 3/10, Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it 4.5/10, Eurogamer gave it 4/10, Gamerevolution gave it 2 out of 5, even IGN gave it 5.9 out of 10. Oh sure there were a few 6's and 7's and for some reason one 8.25 from Game Informer. But the vast majority were 3's to 5's. I took a few seconds to look up Knack reviews and saw this.

    I don't think it's controversial to say that Sony dissected Super Mario Galaxy and onward to really understand how Nintendo built those games when developing Astrobot. You can clearly see how the developers mirrored so many details in the 3D Mario games to a tee, from the use of controls, game feel, and playability, to variety and even camera angles. But that's exactly what Sony should do. If you want to make a game that competes with the best games released in the last 15 years, you have to do things at least as well as they did. Every game takes inspiration from what came before, and I don't see this as any different. If anything, Nintendo should be flattered that their 3D platformer design was so good that it was worth mirroring closely without much deviation. The formula really works. Most 3D platformers outside of Mario (like Crash, A Hat in Time, Psychonauts, Yooka-Laylee, etc.) tried to feel different, and they just aren't as good. You may as well go with what works. It's not worth getting upset about.

      Astrobot does not feel like a Mario game in movement at all. What makes astrobot feel really great is the dualsense. Astro movement is extremely limited he has three moves a jump, hover and punch thats it. there is no variability in how you tackle any of the platforming obstacles you cant even jump on top of an enemy. Theres no long jump, side jump, backflip, not even a wall slide in a 3D platformer of 2024. I genuinely think if it was played on a standard controller it wouldn't be perceived as being as great. The dualsense enhanced the experience dramatically. I really liked it but a game like Mario Odyssey I put like 70 hours into and Astrobot I put in like 12 got the platinum and i'm done. Which is okay.

      @@DistinctionDino I don't have a ps5, so i can't play. I can only comment on how it looks. From my perspective, as someone who has played most 3d marios at least twice each, they really did dissect a lot of aspects. Not saying they copied at all, I know there is innovation and stuff, but I see so many gameplay elements and patterns and all sort of design that is borrowed heavily from the mario games, so that's why i say what i say. It's cool too, I think you have to do that to make a platformer. I think you need to reintroduce new concepts and ditch them quickly and have lots of novelty and variety. This formula really works. Even the silly things like putting collectables or how you position obstacles is like a science in mario games, and I see the same patterns being used in the trailers for astrobot. The influence is really obvious to me.

      @@Katie-hb8iq i think maybe something was lost in translation because I agree it copies Mario in a lot of ways besides movement. Not just Mario either I see some Spyro in there too. There are some levels in the game that feel like complete rips. Whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is for the player to decide. For me it’s not great because it’s weird to constantly play a game and be reminded of another but hey. Where the game does shine is with the dualsense that feels great and really elevates the experience.

    Honestly, 3D World actually is pretty distinct for a 3D Mario platformer, unless you count 3D Land. (Sadly, the 3DS got unpersoned by Nintendo, with a lot of the games not being ported over to the Switch. I guess they just can't justified their ridiculous 60 dollar price for a 3DS game.)
    >Jazzy upbeat music (As opposed to the tropical music of Sunshine or the orchestral music of Galaxy or the midi music of 64.)
    >Cat suits
    >Isometric view
    >You don't focus on collecting collectables, but rather get to the end of the stage like in the 2D Mario games
    Honestly, considering that every other mainline 3D Mario platformer is a collectathon, 3D World is 'unique' in that aspect. Though honestly, I still like it the least out of the mainline 3D Mario platformers. (Still a good, fun game, just nothing particularly special.) Also, I think 3D World is actually the most distinct Mario platformer during the WiiU era. At least compared to the New Super Mario Bros games, which honestly just feel like they're just 'Mario' and nothing else. 3D World actually has a bit more going for it than just that and has bit more of a style visually.
    As for other Mario platformers, the rest of the Mainline 3D Mario platformers offered something special. Mario 64 was the first successful 3D platformer, Sunshine was VERY experimental, Galaxy 1/2 did its own thing, Odyssey changed up the formula as well. 2D ones...Less so. Though honestly, that is because the 2D Mario platformer has been done so much that there is little room for innovation. (And, we literally have fan games, ROM hacks, and Mario Maker.) I mean, hell, even within the spin-off series, you get stuff like Super Paper Mario that play completely different from the first two games.
    Really, Harman is so obnoxiously fanboyish and simpy that honestly Nintendo would be WAY better off taking down his videos instead of fan games and mods. The guy is a brand liability at this point. (Not saying they should. Just if they are going to take down fan content, I'd rather it be Harman's ramblings than the amazing fan projects.) For me, I tend to separate the art from the artist (Or rather, the publisher in this case, since I don't really blame Nintendo's in-house studios for the anti-consumer decisions of Nintendo corporate.) unless the artist is specifically ripping me off or insulting me with their art. Sadly, the latter two are extremely common among gaming companies. (And, the former is true of Nintendo when it comes to pricing their re-releases, which is why I refuse to buy them.)

    Sony had all the platformers back in the day. Nintendo had... bigger names, but Sony still got some pretty damn impressive entries.
    What does Harmon consider a 'platformer'? Because, in my mind? That's 2D Mario OR it's 3D collectathon stuff... he's lumping both of those into one group.
    If anyone is allowed to have grievances with Nintendo, it's Sony, seeing as Nintendo welching on their deal to work on a disc based add on to the SNES is the ENTIRE GODDAMN reason the Playstation exists in the first place.

      Mario invented the 3D Collectathon with 64. If anything, 2D Mario kind of has been relegated to the 'New Super Mario Bros' spin off series, which explains why those games just felt...generic. Though, Wonder has definitely made 2D Mario platformers made by Nintendo interesting again.
      Of course, saying that other 3D Collectathons rip off Mario is like saying that every FPS rips off Doom. You don't claim ownership over an entire genre. And, you can take as much inspiration as you want from games. Like Hat in Time taking inspiration from Collectathons (Including 3D Mario) AND Wind Waker.
