Thoughts on devs trying to fix games years later?I just looked it up and yooka-replaylee releases in 3 days.they added a map, gave you all the moves at the start and expanded the worlds by default.flying is restricted to certain areas because once you unlocked it in the original, it broke the game.they added a bunch of new pagies and moved the quills around.no clue if the game is still going to feel bloated and have copy-pasted npcs.shenmue 3 enchanced is fixing stamina and story progression, adding more npcs for density, adding a classic camera and letting you skip dialog.
>>722529447I don't know bro.Yooka seems to have gone with muted colours. It looks like shit.
>>722529447Yooka was fine. Fuck the devs for caving to retards
Yooka Replayee doesn't fix the biggest, most obvious issue: The shit character design. Yooka and Laylee are both VERY fucking ugly and charmless.
>>722530291imagine being this much of an ignoramus
>>722529447Shenmue 3 on the Switch wasn't on my bingo card but I'm down. Wish it was a 3 pack though.
I played the original and it was fine enough, but that was like 8 years ago. I remember thinking it could have been a lot better if the areas were a bit more segmented from a design standpoint and less wide and open. For example, Treasure Trove Cove looks big and open, but when you really look at it, you can mentally divide it into sections. Here's the pirate ship, here's the jump pad section, here's the underwater castle, here's the lighthouse, etc.
>>722531621i'm really curious how the later worlds turned out.like the swamp level was literally nothing and i flew everywhere.and the casino was a giant square and none of it was memorable for some reason.
>>722529447I thought it worked out great for Shin Megami Tensei V.However, I don't think any amount of tweaks can make Yooka Laylee a more enjoyable game. It just is what it is. SMTV's problems were managable because it had the bones of a good game, and just needed to be fleshed out. The YL devs should've just taken the lessons learned from YL and made a new game that takes this stuff into account. Instead, they've done everything they can to avoid doing that. A 2D spinoff, throwing some band-aids on a game that's just not good on a systemic level, it's like they're afraid that they actually are incapable of making a new 3D game that's good.
>>722532398because Yooka Laylee was great the first time, this is like someone taking a birthday cake and adding more icing and sprinkles to it
>>722531098we don't care switch vegan, discuss the game instead
>>722529447 (OP)Yooka-Replaylee's fixes feel like a bunch of band-aid solutions. The biggest problem that game had was that it doesn't have an identity beyond "not-Banjo", and now that Replaylee removes the only real unique gimmick it had (the world expansion) it's even less unique now. Shit like generic world themes, terrible level designs, low enemy variety and copy-pasted NPCs also weren't addressed.Honestly I just don't understand why the devs kept making the blandest choices possible. You got a bee CEO as a villain, does he got an army of overworked salarymen insects? Does he bulldoze the forest where Yooka and Laylee live to make way for tacky souvenir shops and trendy coffee places? No he mostly has imps and he sucks up books to find some magic book (and this was really poorly explained in the original). The worlds are contextualized as books, do we get fun worlds like a fantasy place full of castles and dragons and knights, a black and white noire world full of crime and criminals, a sci-fi world where you platform across flying cars and skyscrapers? No you get generic grass world, ice world and casino full of copypasted missions (go through rings, pound the ground, Rextro's bullshit minigames, Kartos' bad karting sections) and the same fucking NPCs over and over. They barely even have any setpieces in those worlds. Yooka is a chameleon, do we get some fun moves out of that? Well, he can eat things like butterflies for health and some other stuff to gain powerups. That's a *start* but I don't know why they didn't do more with it. Why can't he grab onto enemies and toss them around like Nero in DMC? Why can't he grab onto walls like Yoshi in Mario Odyssey? Why can't he swing around the place like it's a grappling hook? *Anything* to give this fucking game some identity. Some of the points I bitched about here were addressed, but then the game went from a 4/10 to a 6/10. To really fix Yooka-Laylee you'd have to start over.
>>722534056fuck no, I have no interest in the game beyond playing it on Switch
>>722534356well, we'll find out in 3 days if they actually did anything.from the interview it seems like they want you to be able to walk into a world and beat it in 1 go like banjo kazooie 1.he also mentioned they added more enemies.its going to be weird having the water bubble, sonar explosion and other shit right at the start though
>>722529447People only bought/backed the original Yooka-Laylee for Jontron. Likewise this remake just tells me they don't have the money to do a proper sequel.As for Shenmue 3, it was the alpha and omega of red flags. A huge E3 showing...to announce of FUCKING KICKSTARTER! There's no fixing that.
I’ll be buying replayee whenever I have the money for it
>>722534356Yooka Laylee's biggest problems were the levels being huge and empty, the controls feeling like shit, and the minigames sucked... and they fixed all of it. So I'm not sure what you're talking about.
>>722529447People are quick to shit on Yooka-Replaylee without even looking at what's being changed.Every single thing people complained about has been changed, tweaked or outright removed.
>>722535975i think it's gonna be 20 dollars if you have the original game, but the discount doesn't apply on pre-orders for some reason
>>722534356Ok idea guy, but in the real world of gamedev we have such things known as CONSTRAINTS and PRACTICALITY and EXECUTION. Your pie-in-the-sky ideas might sound cool to you, but good luck programming and developing them in-budget and on schedule.
>>722529447>(GAME NAME) RE-(INSERT GAY PUN ASSOCIATED TO THE GAME)Why are devs like this? Rehydrated, Reprobed, Repac, Replaylee. Are devs gay?
>>722536206>redditors designed this gameye i gonna buy it now
>>722538913Imagine being mad at such a kino tradition. Looking forward to more of these titles out of spite for you.
>>722529447I played the demo, and not having a double jump doesn’t feel right. Now it’s just one big jump.
>>722540018I hope you get raped
>>722529447i own shemnue 3 but never played it. will enhanced be a free update?
>>722540869Anon:Re-gaylee should be the name of your game
