First Person Platforming - has anyone ever gotten this right?

my feeling is a big angry no

hell no

unless you count Portal (2)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_Flash!

Mirrors Edge, maybe? Tho I only played that for like 5 minutes

Mirror Edge worked as a tech demo, I honestly can't imagine playing the entire game

also I keep forgetting Jumping Flash existed because I never played it

jumping flash was great. i never owned it but i played it at my friends' house a lot. def a game that i still think of fondly from time to time even though i haven't played it in like 15 years

heck of a deja vu. surely done this before?

i didnt find anything via search, but tbh i thought i might have done this before some other time i wanted to murder a game designer for doing this to me

I might have read it on another forum

Half Life 2 I thought was done quite well.

Mirror's Edge is a wonderful game!

HL2 doesn't have much platforming at all, it's a shooter

There are jumpy bits

metroid prime has way more platforming than HL2 and i still don't know if i'd consider it a platformer

might as well ask if anyone has ever got 1st person melee fighting right (yeah i went there)

i might have to pick up mirror's edge used, the demo was pretty cool

I guess Punch-Out! doesn't really count

agree with u ciderpress - the platforming was well done in that, but it's hard to say that was the focus of the game shared with all the reticles

i have a copy of mirrors edge that you can borrow for as long as needed fyi, although i imagine its going for about 75 cents by this point used

Local GameStop wanted $10 for Mirror's Edge last week. Spent $5 on Shaun White Snowboarding instead.

1st person melee fighting right

Dishonored does this as well as I've ever experienced.

I remember liking the 1st person melee in the first Riddick game.

I haven't played dishonored, but my instinctive answer wrt the first person melee is no. Skyrim basically became fun once I could start summoning shit to do that for me.

jumping flash was my first thought on seeing thread title; i bet the impetus to start this thread was Quantum Conundrum

Skyrim

The combat in Dishonored feels much more engaged.

skyrim has no real fighting mechanics though, you just whack stuff and it falls down. i'm fine with this but i always hated involved melee combat in games anyway.

for first person fighting, bushido blade of course

ooh I hated the 1st person view for Bushido Blade, ditto Virtua Fighter

really? that's the way i played

i don't even remember a 1st person view being available for bushido blade.

default was the 3rd-person view; you could change it but then basically you would instantly die because the stances would often disguise where the CPU attack was coming from and it was hard to block effectively

The melee in Chivalry is good. It takes forever to get the hang of it though.

lol I am not familiar with that game so that sentence is cracking me up

"let me help you with your jacket *body blow* now let me get that door *uppercut*"

I made a Chivalry thread but no one posted. That game is delightfully brutal.

pc only innit?

Maybe. I am PC only

It is. xpost

skyrim has no real fighting mechanics though

Which is why I am differentiating the combat in Dishonored, which does have pretty decent fighting mechanics. (At least before you turn into a flying ninja death machine, and then it barely matters...)

There's a Source-engine fighter that has some weird tribal bird-people characters, but I forget the title. Zeno Clash, maybe?

i was going to say 'zero crash'

that's meant to be The Game That Uniquely Got First Person Melee Right, isn't it?

yup, Zeno Clash. i should play that someday, it's in my steam library

ha, i basically never experienced these mechanics (just chokeholds, sleep darts, and skulking around iirc).
