More like First Person Platformer.

Hm, what if you played it in a Mario 64 setting where you can switch the view? I just can see it working during a boss fight (Bowser, the Koopa Jr.), but the gaming community couldn't stomach a genre that is mainly used for violence on Mario.

I'm also recalling Jumping Flash!, but that game has aged pretty badly.

I don't get offended, it just reminds me why I think first person perspective is crap.

it's just a viewpoint, not a genre.

he could use some more moves. like jumps from super mario 64 or sunshine. slide jump, triple jump, flip and long jump stuff. if I did this I would just put every single level from mario1 next to each other on the z axis with this. so you have something to look over at in the empty void there. huahua

Man, the first person perspective even made me sick. I usually do not get motion sickness from that perspective. I did just eat a huge sandwich, though.

The combo of Mario and fps seems to have made people knees jerk out of control, pretty funny. I'd play a really well done first person Mario game. Mirrors Edge (and jumping flash) showed that first person platformers can be awesome.

Pretty cool for what it is. Interesting how much more manageable it seemed to get with a bit of depth though, 1-3 actually seemed somewhat playable compared to the other levels.

Internet crowds usually don't reward mediocrity, there's nothing interesting in that vid that wasn't done before either. It may endear you to watch your cat finally pooping in its box but that doesn't it's something you should post on youtube either.

Pretty neat. I'm assuming this was done by either 1 person or a small number? In eight weeks to get all of that working that smoothly with accurate level design, I would say its a pretty good attempt.

Its not like they were trying to say mario would be better in first person.

I know right? It's like a cat defecating. No hyperbole here.

Oh he can but he shouldn't be surprised by the replies.
Seriously this vid is not neat in anyway, it's old to boot.
There's plenty of better stuffs done by students so I don't see how that's unfair either.

Not really. I'm sure they learned a whole lot of UE3 during the creation of that and such experience can be quite valuable.

I guess it's neat in the tech demo kind of sense, but none of that looks like it'd actually be fun to play.

Nothing really special. We've seen this done I believe in Source's hammer editor, or was that gmod? Either way....
