Re: Here's Your First Look At Yooka-Laylee's Demastered Nintendo 64 Mode

I think Playtonic bit off more than they can chew with this tonic. Going for a true N64 look would require essentially re-making the entire game. They would need new low-poly models and low-res textures for everything, and that is a lot of work that's just unfeasible. They should have just made a low-poly skin for the main characters (like Odyssey did with its Mario64 outfit) and leave it at that.

@GamingDude800 I believe there are far worse games that are much more deserving of being called "complete junk", like, say, Superman 64. Yooka-Laylee, while not perfect, certainly did a lot of things right, and I know for a fact I had a metric ton of fun playing it to 100% completion. As for its camera system, yeah, it did have some quirks, but it didn't affect my enjoyment of the game at all. The august 2017 patch added in a more modern camera system anyway, so there's that.

As for Kazooie and Tooie, I replayed them both to 100% completion last year (thanks to Rare Replay), and I still stand by what I said; that they both aged like fine wine.
