Gaming Do you still plan on getting Yooka-Laylee for the Switch?

[Saiyan Lusitano]

Their statement about that is interesting. They basically said that the Wii U version was canned because Nintendo refuse to provide technical support to developers on the Wii U now.

Darksiders Warmastered and Cars 3 are going to be released on the WiiU. Playtonic just didn't want to release it on the WiiU. Period.

Yes, because everybody who thinks racism is a sh*tty thing must be a far-left so-called 'sjw', right?

"Everyone who doesn't share 100% of my views is a horrible racist and should be silenced! The internet isn't a place for people to hold their own views!"

Seems strange that simply making a statement based on statistical study makes you a horrible, irredeemable racist. Statistics must be racist, I suppose (or maybe that's just statistics that go against your narrative and ideology).

More on-topic: Yooka-Laylee just seems disappointing, underwhelming, and over-priced. It's a shame, because I thought that trying to bring back some of the great things of the 90s was a genuinely good idea. The various hiccups/etc. throughout development definitely dampened my excitement, and now with the JonTron fiasco, I highly doubt I'll be paying money to play this game. It's sad, because I was genuinely looking forward to it, but this sort of thing happens far too often with games like this, it seems.

I can't say as I blame them, a Wii U port would be a lost cause.

They could have worked around it to release it on the WiiU but they just didn't want to.

Statistics must be racist,

Facts are racists nowadays. Don't dare to bring them up... unless it's about whites then in that case you can.

Double-standards at its finest.

Because it would have killed sales, third party games sold like s**t on the Wii U, so it was a wise decision, but there are people who are butthurt XD

 

[Thirty3Three]

Yes I do. It looks great. I've seen many 6/10, and 7/10 reviews, but I've also seen many many more 8/10s. And even more 9/10s, in comparison to the former two.

Also, the Switch version is being handled in-studio, so hell yeah I'm picking it up.

 

[Deleted User]

Maybe, I'm not sure yet. I'll probably have to play Banjo-Kazooie and maybe Banjo-Tooie first and see if I like those to make a decision on whether I will or not. Even then it might still be a maybe.

Once they fix the camera, maybe.

i take it you dont have the technical knowledge here

 

[RemixDeluxe]

I will be boycotting this game and any other future titles that this studio eventually produces.

Dropping a voice actor because he simply told the truth.

It's possible to play the game and not support the developers and their political views/intolerance.

 

[s157]

The low review score wouldn't have stopped me. The removal of Jontron wouldn't stop me either, as him being there or not doesn't really add or take away from my enjoyment. Sorry that I don't care too much about hearing a youtuber's grunts.

However, collect-a-thon as a mandatory requirement to progress? Reading that in the reviews took absolutely all urge to play the game for me. Hated it in Recore, and I regret paying the full price for that backtracking simulator.

 

[Xiphiidae]

I highly doubt that you do either.

What did you expect? How could you not know that that was central to the game until you read reviews?

 

[Viri]

I'll probably pirate it on PC, and maybe get it when it's cheap. I liked Banjo Kazooie, but not Tooie. I hope the camera is truly fixed, because I was getting dizzy just from seeing how fucked up the camera was in reviews, lol. The art style, ugh, it just reminds me of Nuts and Bolts for some reason, which isn't a good thing.


TBH, this is starting to give me Mighty Number 9 deja vu. But not as bad, at least.

Normally, playing Banjo Kazooie and it's sequel, I didn't have to go far out of my way to progress the game. Find the jiggies, get stuff along the way, and I'm good. I don't recall having to backtrack that much at all. From what I read in multiple reviews, to progress the game, you need 100 out of 145 pages to reach the end. That's quite a bit. Goes beyond just having the mandatory collectibles like the jiggies. From what I've been reading, it seems like the pages should've been more of an optional feature, rather than the main one, as you'll actually have to stop progressing to find the other pages.

JonTron can go do one, to be honest. The poor didums thought he could be racist on the internet and hide behind free speech. 'Free speech' also means that PlayTonic can disagree and show him where the door is. I'm sure he's crying himself to sleep in his parent's basement.

@Saiyan Lusitano
Would you have been ok with having a watered down inferior port of a game just for the sake of keeping their word? Your disappointment should be directed towards Nintendo for being cheap and making developers jump through hurdles to have their games on the system.

I'm not defending Playtonic and I will not be supporting any of their future endeavors.
