Oobedoob S Benubi Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Sumo Digital, developer of (amongst others) LittleBigPlanet3, a few Forza and Sonic games and Disney Infinity 3, are developing a new IP. The game had already been announced for PS4 as well as Steam and X1 and is revealed to be in development for Switch as well now. I could not find any previous thread on the game though so I decided to create one. Snake Pass is a "snake platformer", where you slither your way across the levels. As a gamer who likes platformers, I think this might make for a compelling, though possibly slow, unique game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonidol38 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 The concept really is a nice change from the "standard" puzzle-platformer. But the pacing might be a bit too slow to appeal to a wider audience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeldinX Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Looks really charming and different but as you guys have mentioned the pacing is really slow. I fear that could get tedious after a while, though it depends how long the game is I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iAlphaSoldier Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I saw my favorite gaming channel on YouTube post some gameplay of it and fell in love with the game then and there. It's something new and refreshing and I don't really think the slower pace of the game will be a bad thing. In my opinion it'll give you a better opportunity to enjoy the game rather than blasting through the levels quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saw this the other day on the eShop. Looks like a fun game, but not a $26 fun game. Could see it being on Plus or Gold, I'd grab it on either, or pick it up on sale, but not worth over 25 bucks, with that I could buy 2 or 3 other solid eShop games that quite possibly offer more on their own.

Lars Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Looks definitely interesting this one, i'll keep an eye on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchCannon54 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Mmmmmrrrr I'm really on the fence here. On the one hand it's bright and colourful, advertises itself as a 3D platformer (which I'm really desperate to play) and David Wise composed it (not like the Grant Kirkhope burps and farts music), but I am sick to death of everything being physics based and intentionally wonky to control. Figures the one "platformer" that comes out is physics based. I guess. Yooka Laylee comes out soon but that's really expensive for what it is and I'm not sure if I wanna shell out for it for the time being. I mean the last time I got something that advertised itself as a 3D platformer (The Last Tinker) I was bitterly disappointed (you don't even fucking jump! It's less interactive than Zelda's jumping). But on the other hand the last time I played a physics based platformer I got hooked on it (Grow Home) so I dunno. It's not too expensive so I might give it a go and the production values are very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 I'm somewhat unnerved by no review copies being sent out. Games like DOOM, No Man's Sky and Zelda get flack when they don't do review copies or have an embargo but Snake Pass apparently is not high profile enough... I would like to know what people think of this game, what it's actually like. 8 hours ago, LunchCannon54 said: Mmmmmrrrr I'm really on the fence here.

Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country didn't get annoyed people that those games were as expensive as Goldeneye 007 or Mario Kart 64... So if this is a full content game, why doesn't it deserve the same price tag? I've been playing more platformers again these days but most were 2D (or 2.5D) puzzle platformers. I guess the last 3D platformer I did was The Last Guardian... Does that one count? If not, then The Deadly Tower Of Monsters, which was an action platformer.

Dangisuckatgamin Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The game is just okay. I sort of regret paying even $15 for it. It does get extremely frustrating. The worst part is by far the camera. The physics are learnable but the camera tends to mess you up quite a bit.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played it yesterday and the only thing with the camera that bothered me is that you can't really look up far enough to see collectibles that are a bit higher up. I had to climb the highest point to get a good view and see where the blue blob thingy was that I had missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oobedoob S Benubi Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share Posted June 28, 2017 (edited) It's been on a 40% off sale on PS4 and it's on a 40% off sale now on Switch, I just bought it on the Switch. Played a bit and saving the rest for the summer. I really like it so far. I appreciate the effort that went into having us control a snake with snake-like movements. I can see how some people get frustrated by the controls but I think it's loads of fun. Definitely worth it for people who, like me, enjoy platformers that try to do something different.
