3D Platformers - Game Sack 

Sonic all day every day. Sonic Adventure still freaking rules today!

Every episode is games... when are you guys finally gonna talk about sacks?

3d platformers are my favorite type of game, wish they made more of them.

I always loved that horror themed stage in Rayman 2. Loved the music and the various crazy stuff all throughout it. Was a nice break from the traditional Fire or ice type stages

I wish I had friends like Joe and Dave

Just hearing that intro music brings a smile to my face. Thanks again for doing this show, Joe and Dave!

I just wanted to tell you both how impressed I am by you two. I really get excited when I hear and see your opening intro song. You both have excellent descriptions of the content, and you guys are really cool fellows. Keep up the good hard work, we all definitely love it. I vote you two the best youtubers in my opinion. Have a great one guys.

Dave and Joe thanks for taking the time to talk to me at retropalooza. I'd been watching yall for a year at that point so great to meet you face to face. a dremel makes super famicom games work on snes thanks dave!

Love Mirror's Edge, first time I played it got such an adrenaline rush, and the music was perfect with how it seamlessly transitioned from action sequences to the more puzzle platforming areas. Great episode guys.

The Game Sack show freaks me out a little because Joe looks like my dad, only not as bald. Are you my dad, Joe?

I don't know if there are enough 2.5D platformers to justify it but an episode on those would seem like natural step after 3D platformers. Old school game play with new GFX. Love me some 2.5D games !

"That system specalizes in colors that look like vomit" I just love the shade thrown there

"Jak 2 has a lot of color" Man, you really have to go and play Jak 1 someday.

My recommendations for future episodes would be: - The Jumping Flash games (my favorites on PS1!) - Tokobot for PSP (or Tokobot Plus for PS2), a puzzle platformer that doesn't get nearly enough coverage - Gurumin (a superb 3D platformer from Falcom for PSP and PC) - Nayuta no Kiseki (another superb 3D platformer from Falcom for PSP that never came out in English, but the story's kind of lackluster while the gameplay is FANTASTIC, so you're not missing much if you play it without being able to read it) Also, don't forget Daxter on PSP! The Jak & Daxter game nobody ever talks about, but it really is an excellent title.

You hit on two of the main reasons I prefer emulating older games rather than playing them on their original consoles. Being able to save anytime and place you want, and the virtually infinite ways to customize the controls. No more huge distances between checkpoints, or having to buy your saves. No more having camera controls or buttons backwards or mapped in unusual ways. These two points have taken games with deal breaking features and transformed them into enjoyable experiences.

awesome you guys never cease to come up with awesome ideas for new shows!

Bubsy 3D!

If you're gonna do part 2 for this, you should check out Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank and Sly Cooper as well.

THANK YOU. RU-vidrs that finally mention RALLISPORT CHALLENGE. Those two games are my two favorite racing games. I have played Rallisport Challenge 2 more than 3 thousand hours since it came out (I might be exaggerating, but you get the idea).

good episode Game Sack.I used this episode as a guide to purchase a lot of games... your episode guide has become one heck of a shopping list!

NOOOO, Not like THAAAAAT! I always enjoy Joe's "wrestler" voice, and mixed with the whininess it just puts it over the top. One of the funniest ending skits in a while.

Game Sack is my favorite gaming channel. Then MetalJesusRocks, Petedorr, HappyConsoleGamer, AlphaOmegaSin, ReviewFapUSA, Jabba2988...respectively.

This is my favorite genre. Congratulations for this video and I hope you make more of this.

Kick ass video guys. Always on the lookout for a good 3D platformer.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos and Croc 2. Bonus points if you cover the first game on the Sega Saturn.

The ONLY comparisons worth showing are Sweet-Ass Side-By-Sides. Everything else can't stack up.

Another great episode of Game Sack. Thanks, guys.

Fine episode. I never miss Game Sack.

And now even the most obvious platforming in games is called "parkour", I spose because "platforming" is too kiddy a term 😒

I FREAKING LOVE SUPER MARIO GALAXY!!!!

Super glad you included Maximo. definitely a favorite PS2 series for me. Somewhat overlooked.

This is starting to be the best part of my saturday night.

They released the Jak & Daxter Trilogy (or if you're in the states, Jak & Daxter Collection) for the PS3 in 2012. I am not sure if this helps, but if it is the PS2 versions you are looking for I would say your best bet is Amazon.

We need more Jak games and also you never mentioned is dark eco powers which I always thought was pretty cool..

Loved the ending! (and the beginning and middle, too)

I loved this episode so much, most of the games of this episode were part of my childhood. Great channel, greetings from Spain! ;)

A little off topic but Happy Birthday to the NES who turns 30 today.

No Banjo Kazooie or Banjo Tooie? Damn right you haven't made a "part 2"! Great episode, guys ;)

Love getting my Sunday morning Sack on.

Nice to see you dare to compare with that explosive side-by-side comparison - keep it up

Super awesome meeting you guys at PRGE! I'd add Psychonauts, my favorite platformer for PS2 (and whatever else it came out on)

In part two you should include the Legacy of Kain games. The 3-d ones.

The way Joe said "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!" in the post-credits scene almost made me cough up my food in laughter. Also, another great episode Joe and Dave! Keep up the great work! :)

I remember that Maximo really impressed me graphically at the time: shadows were a novelty, and the smooth animation made me love that game!

Spyro (ps1 ) Alice madness returns

Sonic games went downhill fast after the characters started talking

Future games to cover: Mega Man Legends, Ape Escape, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Ratchet and Clank, Banjo-Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day and many more I can't think of off the top of my head.

Maximo has seriously impressive sound design. Those effects sound so good!

Unsubbed because ReviewTechUSA rarely reviews tech!!!

the prince of persia series... I have no idea how you could talk about 3D platforming without mentioning PoP (and, by extension, the not as great Assassin's Creed games)

Love your videos and format. Very easy and awesome to watch! thanks for all of your hard work.

Nice one Dave for showing a little love to Rallisport Challenge, the second one was my favourite racer on Xbox.

Hey i bought some cheap ($4) component cables on ebay and now the PS2 looks worse than with composite. Looks nowhere as nice as your game footage. Does the official sony cables look alot better?

crash also please notice me came sack

Crash Bandicoot, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, Psychonauts, Beyond Good & Evil...

i have to go with the crowd and say jumping flash! that episode was cool like always! the rayman segment was funny as hell. it's freaking amazing that you guys put still alive at the end credits i think that song is so good .

Don't skip sonic adventure 1 lol. Shits awesome

was trying to get into you guys until you started dissing sonic adventure games. they are the best 3D platformers ever.

Hey great job on the video and awesome choice on the ending song.

Dude, try Sonic Generations. Everything between Adventure 2 and Generations is trash, but Generations is pretty great.

Should have been named "3D adventure games with platforming included." Especially since my fave 3D platformer wasn't on here, aka Pandemonium 2. Seriously, all these were adventure games. Zelda would have been a contender here :)

Nice seeing you guys at PRGE this year! Thanks for answering my question at the panel! One game that I really enjoyed and would like to see covered in an upcoming episode like this is Tak and the Power of Juju as well as its sequel Tak 2.

Oh wow! Big ups to you both for using Baten Kaitos' music theme at the begining! Such an amazing game with awesome music! :D

Sonic Adventure is a crappy 3D platform game?.... WHAT THE FUCK... NO! It is 1 of the best Sonic games ever!...

I'm very disappointed in this episode, for the first time in Game Sack do I see not once or twice but several wrong or lacking information about games, what the hell guys? You used to do your research rather well... Sonic Adventure is not the first game to introduce the homing attack that was Sonic 3D Blast, Rayman 2 came out for pretty much every console and the PS2 had skippable cutscsnes with good graphics and even an option to make the characters really talk, the PS1 version did that too but the graphics aren't as good, also Sonic Adventure for the Gamecube and pretty much every other port of the game allowed you to skip the cutscsnes, I just saw many mistakes here that I just can't believe how lazy this video was compared to your other ones. And shame on you, Joe, for being more of a Mario fan than a Sonic fan, how could you? But in all honesty I found both Sonic Adventure titles to be very fun, I may be in the minority here but I absolutely loved Knuckles' stages and the camera never really bothered me in those games, I do hate the camera in Super Mario 64 though tbh. I have to agree about Super Mario Galaxy, I liked both games and they were a huge improvement over Sunshine, but I maybe in the minority here who thinks the first Mario Galaxy was the better one, I dunno. Anyway I recommend you check out "Looney Tunes: Sheep Raider" on the PS1 it's an overlooked platformer that came out after the PS2 was released which explains why, the game is definitely worth checking and if you play it I guarantee you'll see why. Another 3D Platformer I recommend is "Crash Bandicoot: Warped" it's a really solid platformer that played a big part of changing the game industry. Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank are okay, you can also give Pac-Man World 2 and 3 a try, I thought these two were okay, didn't like the first one though. And maybe you can give NiGHTS Journey of Dreams and Belly Hatcher a try, though you already covered these two in previous episodes. There's also Alice Madness Returns though it's more of a horror 3D Platformer.

Another great episode, thanks guys!

It's great to see this level of love for Mirror's Edge, one of my favorite games of last gen.

you guys are releasing to much amusing content, unsubbed.

Hey guys thanks for making this episode. 3D platforming is kinda where gaming started for me. I got an N64 for christmas with Mario 64, and since then it's been one of my favourite type of games. I hope to see more of these

Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy is one of my all time favourites, it's criminal that it never got a follow up

16:25 I never knew they had a throwback stage in SA2 like that. It looks pretty cool! That camera though.

Awesome! I love seeing that you are guys aren't prejudiced against polygonal retro video games. I mean they have it hard already, they didn't age nearly as well. Probably due to the lifestyle they led.

Nice to see you guys cover Maximo...very underrated

I am a soldier in deployment over seas now I really wanna thank you guys for the good show you guys doing great job

Glad you highlighted Mirror's Edge for that game is criminally under appreciated. You know if ain't a 3D platformer without Ratchet and Clack, Sly Copper, and Banjo Kazooie. Some I think you should check out are Tonic Trouble, Glover, and Klonoa.

I have never played Jak 2, and I keep hearing good things about it. I found a copy of it somewhere in my house and I hope to play it soon

Bacon,Pancakes,and a new Game Sack.All the ingredients for a good Sunday.

I hope you guys have something special for next episode 150!!! maybe some really cool topic, or an hour long extravaganza?? : p

Games you MUST have in the sequel, and you damn well better make a part 2!: -Banjo-Kazooie -Banjo-Tooie -Donkey Kong 64 -Super Mario 64 -Super Mario Sunshine -Bubsy 3D (for an example of 3D platforming done wrong) -Earthworm Jim 3D (see above)

You're in for a treat with the first Jak and Daxter if you like open world exploration titles. You have a more liberated feel than you do with Jak 2 which feels more linear. Also, Jak is silent in the first game which always adds more charm for me. I still gotta work my way through the 3rd game tho.

''Stealing is wrong'' PROCEED TO SUMMON A DEMON FROM HELL.

Great reviews guys, thank you.

Have either of you guys beaten the "Flawless Run" stage in Galaxy 2? I was able to do it once, but my last attempt was not as successful. Not that the reward is worth much: You get Rosalina on your Mario-head spaceship! And you get to talk to her! And she cheers you on! God, I wish the Wii had an achievement system or something!

Now that 2D and 3D platform games have been covered, it'd be great to see some 2.5 platformers in the future.

Donkey Kong 64 is my favorite 3D platformer. It gets alot of hate from some people but I just love everything about it.

really loved that POWER PLUS part

Lol, Dave is really channeling Casey Kasem in the ending skit. Zoinks!

gamesack is the only channel that I hit that like button before i watch the video

Another great episode as usual.

"I haven't play 1 & 3 which is surprising because I like the second a lot." *ends up getting a mail truck full of copies for Jak and Dexter the Precursor Legacy and Jax 3*

3D platforming is tricky but here's a tip. As you're jumping to the next platform, look for the characters shadow on the platform you're jumping to. That lets you know you're definitely safe to land. Now, Of course, don't jump passed the platform you're jumping to if you choose to use this method. :)

Glad that you included Mirror's Edge. Definitely unexpected! I highly reccommend you include at least one of the first three Spyro games in Part 2.

Banjo and Kazooie, Super Mario 3D world, Medievil, Soul Reaver and Legacy of Cain, Tomb Raider series, Uncharted series, Crash Bandicoots, Ratchet and Clanks, the list goes on. There are so many good 3D platformers out there and these are just a few of mer furvrits. It's hard to choose between 2d and 3D platform games, both have their own charm, 2D games are usually more challenging and precise, 3D games are generally more atmospheric, it depends on what you're in the mood for!

You nailed it there with the music on Sonic Adventure @13:57 that's my fav. track in the game xD (That and the Egg Carrier song as well) Good old times.

You know, I'm actually glad you guys didn't talk about that certain game series with the bear and the bird. Kinda tired of hearing how much everyone loves that series, and it's good to see you guys focus on platformers that people don't really talk about too much.

great episode guys!

I recommend the "Ape Escape" trilogy of games, the "Crash Bandicoot" trilogy of games, "Psychonauts", "Spyro the Dragon", "Jumping Flash", and "Wario World". All of these are great.

That outro...pure gold

oooh yea! the true mirror from Baten Kaitos, what an awesome music

i was told Ghosts and Goblins 64 was cancelled, but clearly it is Maximo.
