it’s forever f\*\*\* Sony for killing this franchise

Super Mario Odyssey feels the most purely fun to control out of any game I've ever played

Compelling movement is a must, if your game doesn't feel good to move around in, what's the point?

Agree x2
Mario odyssey controls are snappy af, very impressive

Also yea it’s especially important in an open world game. Fast travel wouldn’t have to exist if it were fun to travel the world

Spiderman
Titanfall series

Never played it but they say Anthem had fantastic flying

Arkham City

Bro got a nude of the Danny Phantom girl as his avy

I usually don’t 100% games but swinging around was so fun that I just completed the entire game

Titanfall 2 classic

Arkham knight even more so tbh

Tribes: Ascend was one of my favorite shooters of all time. Insane skill needed to play at those speeds

F*** Hi-Rez for killing that game

Sunset Overdrive was pretty fun to go around in. Pretty much was a base for Spider-Man.

You're speaking the ancient language now man, never thought I'd see this game mentioned on KTT

Tribes…. Classic

Never got to play this but man it looked fun as f***

Mirror’s Edge
Pursuit Force

Uncharted…

I really thought this game would shift shooters forever

Closest we got is Apex now but even the freedom of movement there doesn't come close to what you were able to do in Tribes

dope thread tbh but I don't got much to add I haven't played different games like that

what does fun traversal means ?

The biggest downfall of open world games IMO is having boring traversal. The boring repetitive quest designs of games like AC, Horizon, GoT would be minimized if it wasn’t so boring just riding a horse from A to B. Even GTA and RDR2 despite having unique missions, still suffer from this at times (GTA less so just because it’s fun driving avoiding traffic)

I’m surprised developers haven’t focused yet on finding a way to make traversal more appealing. Not sure what they could do within the scope of their settings though, dunno how you could make riding horse through an empty landscape more fun.

Titanfall 2 goated, grapple >>>
Ace combat is literally piloting jets if that counts, wish there were more ways to feel your speed tho
Deathloop/Dishonored have pretty fun movement with the teleport ability
Blood hunt has great movement
Gunz the Duel might have my favorite movement OAT but the skill ceiling is crazy high

I miss Gravity Rush

Bro your bio wild

Like it’s fun to move around in the game

Big agree. Encouraging exploration + fun traversal is the cheat code to make any open world fun

Really wish we coulda got a massive gravity rush 3 with even more mechanics

Gr2 was such a step up. Woulda been great I’m sure

Never did get an xbox to play this. I remember thinking how awesome this looked. To this day I still wanna try it out. It never did drop on playstation like a lot of ppl were thinking
