Playing a bit further into wind waker, I have to agree that they should have remade some of these textures, Very low quality. But I still must say, the game looks amazing, it just need some more work for it to be perfect. Theres also some geometry work that could have been done.

At the game time, TP HD was missing so much, it has some disgusting textures that look horrible, even with its upres. While at the same time, most of the game had great texture work. But at the end of the day, the lack a remake of the soundtrack(or even improving it like they did with wind waker), lack of new light engine, and no improved charcter models is inexcuseable. These changes might not be supported by everyone, but they should have been made. I guess Nintendo from the start never had plans to do much more than upres textures, they only had a team of 20 working on this game.

Yeah, TPHD would have benefitted enormously from a lighting upgrade. More than anything else, it was the Gamecube era lighting/shading that dated it.



In a not so surprisingly announcement, Playtonic recently cancelled the Wii U version of their upcoming game. While a version of Yooka-Laylee for Nintendo’s console was promised in their original Kickstarter, the game is no longer coming to the Wii U. However, they have since elaborated as to why they had to make this difficult decision. On their recently updated FAQ page, the company revealed that they had been working for months to try and get the game to run correctly on the system, but could never get it working quite right. Check out their official statement below.

"The Playtonic team wanted to explore every possible avenue before making the very difficult decision to transfer development from the Wii U. Our developers worked tirelessly over many months in attempt to solve our technical issues, but unfortunately it’s not been possible to bring Yooka-Laylee to Wii U as originally planned."

Yeah, TPHD would have benefitted greatly from a lighting upgrade.  In some areas the lighting holds up, in a lot of others it is really flat.  But I also am willing to bet that's the feature that most killed performance and would have required a ton of deep technical work.  The TP engine isn't exactly a technical marvel.  

Oh, at as for the Yooka-Laylee news bit Platina posted, I can see that being mostly true, maybe.  Possibly.  But the issue here is they should have done sufficient testing to know if this was possible BEFORE PROMISING IT TO POTENTIAL BACKERS!  As an indie dev myself hoping to hit KS eventually, I would appreciate it if these former AAA devs would stop descending from the heavens and making promises they don't know if they can keep and then BREAKING THEM.  For goodness sake, isn't it bad enough that trust is being constantly worn down by the AAA and Mobile sectors? 



Prediction League 2017 thread is now open: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=223011

No rush just yet to get your scores in, the closest game to release is DQ VIII and we're still a month away. I'll be sure to remind everyone as we get closer so no one misses their chance to participate.

Possibly also a budget issue, I imagine Nintendo didn't want to allocate much funding to it.

Thanks for this

Any word from Skullwaker or Iceland if the 2016 one will be finished? Would love to finish that one if possible, now that most if not all games are out.. could help with completing it.. (just feels a bit weird that the 2016 one will be forever incomplete :/ )

Yeah if you wanna check back in there and figure out how to salvage all the data from there, I would definitely appreciate it. When I have some spare tome tonight I might give it a look as well. It was just the one thread for the first half of 2016 or was there another one?

I'm pretty sure there is only one, so I'll help finish it off later then
