Crosmando: Platformers, what a horrible genre

Elmofongo: Someone never played Commander Keen :P
The ray-gun and pogo stick were novel... for the first 20 minutes, but apart from that platformers are the same - mindbogglingly simple.

For a mediocre game, Mighty No. 9 sure has suffered some tremendous delays. By the time its actually released more people are going to remember it for its drama as opposed to actual gameplay.

Especially when you consider that your average platformer is like 4 hours long

And then marvel at Nintendo and be boggled on how they took all the design ideas and paradigm shifts, and promptly threw them out for a return to safe timer based linear platforming!

How do you make a platformer not based on timing?

Give an example?

Have you ever played Banjo Kazooie?

I quit playing it when I realized that the stuff I collected in a level wouldn't stay collected if I died before finishing. Screw that noise, and time to move on.
