I could be wrong and Playtonic actually do turn the game low-poly (though I doubt it as surely that would take a lot of time and then wouldn't they have to re-test for bugs?), but I'm thinking that Playtonic might have set themselves up for a lot of whinging in future by people who expected the gam...

That's not true in the slightest... Super Mario Odyssey has been in production for years + it follows the same formula as SM64 and SMS, so nothing new for Nintendo. True that. Odyssey was in development right after Super Mario 3D World (2013; two years before the Kickstarter for Yooka-Laylee). I th...

Way more than a month, I think... It's been over 2 months since they said soon. Im beginning to feel a very strong disliking (i won't say hate yet) towards playtonics use of the word soon. It's pretty much a lie. Agree. Their wording in the latest update definitely suggested that there’s “several n...

I don't want Playtonic to learn hand-holding the player. I saw someone say that there should be marks on a map pointing towards where collectibles are - um, no thanks! :? What's the point of even playing an adventure collectathon if they're not even going to adventure and find things themselves?!? ...

Didn't know that it was bigger than Bayonetta, thanks for the info! Then they might be more comparable than I thought. Or at least, that Playtonic will have similar capacities at one point. I'm really wondering what's going on at their HQ...

According to VGchartz it sold 300k on Xbone and PS4 combined. I think if you add digital copies and Steam/Switch versions that's enough. Wonderful 101 (truly spectacular game) sold fewer copies and even that company keeps its head above water. Okay that doesn't sound too bad. But tbh, Platinum Game...

That's a tough one, since Yooka has flaws and goodness in similar departments (for example the world layout / size: In world 2: way too big & empty, in world 5 pretty much perfect). Also, they should keep voice mumbling in my opinion, but work on the actual sounds. The pagie count is also good, ...

I don't really think they'll travel to E3 and showcase stuff at the booths. But their current publisher Team17 will be there, so who knows: https://www.e3expo.com/participating-companies

Still, I guess they'll just send out a big update and trailer(s) by themselves.

When theres nothing to say other than complaining about PTG not communicating, nobody gains something from this. We know since the longest time that they're getting really quiet when working, so no, I don't see the contribution of complaining about this, other than staying in a repetitive loop. And ...

Demands? You mean stretchgoals we (partly) funded this game for? :lol: I have 0 unreasonable "demands". You think I do? Tell me which. I know, the truth can be harsh. ;) The truth is that you get info when its ready. I don't know what your expecting before that state of time and judging f...

Your demands still suck big time... Demands? You mean stretchgoals we (partly) funded this game for? :lol: I have 0 unreasonable "demands". You think I do? Tell me which. I know, the truth can be harsh. ;) The truth is that you get info when its ready. I don't know what your expecting bef...

Anything happening regarding this DLC, Playtonic? Yes something is happening, last time they mentioned the dlc ("extra content") was April 11. Just because they're not showing a trailer or screenshots doesn't mean they're not working on it every day. Yes, hands up, we’ve been a bit quiet ...

Since there’s no like button here, I’ll just say thank you for that great post, it was a good read! (Got nothing to contribute at this time though )

It was one of the games that I absolutely loved on the original PlayStation. With Spyro, they really were the best platformers on that system and I’ll absolutely get the Switch port (since I never got a PS after that). Oh and this version might have an advantage: Loading times. Check out the Digital...

Good observation, Shan! I hope the DLC is heavily influenced by this kind of feedback.

Indie games like YL don’t need to sell a lot to make a profit. Hellblade, for example, broke even at only 500,000K copies, which would be considered low by AAA standards. I asked Andy Robinson how well it was doing for Playtonic a while back, and this was his response: https://www.twitter.com/AndyP...

Yep ShanPen pretty much nailed what went wrong with Yooka. Playtonic didn't explore the level themes enough (or I wouldn't say even barely), they didn't attach the pagies to little stories that would happen within the world. (Sounds like a missed opportunity when you consider that almost everything ...

Is it bad that I feel that these characters / character-designs are more lively than the ones in Yooka-Laylee? It looks like this guy really dug into the level themes when coming up with characters.
