Why does this game look like it has soul compared to yooka laylee?

>>375678946
Because you are a disgusting pedophile.

Because they're not the devs of the games that they're inspired by, and as a result, people won't blindly give them money because "muh nostalgia." Because of that, they have to put actual effort into making a good game instead of just making a "REMEMBER THAT GAME?" game. Same reason Shovel Knight turned out good.

First post worst post

This hasn't even been released yet? Jesus Christ.

>>375679342
Shovel knight was ex-wayforward and sold on REMEMBER MEGAMAN AND DUCKTALES and SHANTAE

I'm convinced this game isn't ever actually going to release.

Like Mother 4.

>>375679539
Shovel knight was good though, I enjoyed every second

>>375678946

Is this still even being developed? The last I heard of this game was fucking years ago, long before Yooka Laylee was announced, even.

>>375679586
Not saying it wasn't good but to say it didn't sell on nostalgia is ridic

It feels like a game tailor made to hit every NES action platformer nostalgia checkbox, from Zelda 2 to Megaman to Mario Bros 3 to Capcom Licensed games to Castlevania

>>375679539
and the final product turned out to be good! woah, weird how that works, right?

This is probably the straw that breaks the camel's back for Kickstarter if this doesn't turn out good. So many games have come out to be disappointments.

Didn't the dev for this steal assets and not pay people he hired to work on stuff for his games?

>inb4 redditors come in with "soul don't real" shitposting
No, soul can be defined and objectively measured.

>>375679539
Yes, shovel knight was about ALL the 2D platformers and combined the best of all and removed the flaws. A Hat in Time is the same way.

>>375679540
Release date this year, first time they put a release date on the project.

>>375678946
Why does this game looks like it murdered something precious that people cared about?
Oh wait, it did kill SLAG gaming!

It's an actual model the devs now own and can use for promotion

?

>>375679908
Why did changing the tiles again make it look so much worse?

>>375679971
Because only the blunders are remembered as having been kickstarted.

>>375680548
Not him
I think a soul chart can be measured with Yoshi's New Island at the left corner and Yoshi's Island at the right corner

>>375678946
Because it hasn't released so you can still imagine it's going to be great.

Because they're ripping off SM64 and not B-K.

>>375678946
Because the dev is an autistic asshole. He doesn't give a fuck about pleasing people, he just wants to make a game he would like and want to brag about.

People like that generally make interesting games

>>375681039
God dammit I never even considered this. Austistic people listen to no one and generally are perfectionists, fuck it makes too much sense. Is there any other god tier autism dev besides the undertale guy

>>375680992
That look bretty good desu

>>375681258
The Dwarf Fortress and Aurora people.

The only thing that really bothers me with this game is that Hat Kid's model looks super off compared to the art renditions of her.

A reddit in time.

The game has potential to be good, but it looks like it will be very limited on content. One person can only do so much.

>>375683294
It's not only one person, but the team is pretty small. It will probably end up being shorter than Y-L.

Hmmmmmm

Wow, they really did the work to make things pop. No wonder it took them so damn long.

Because you haven't found a reason to hate them yet. Don't worry, eventually they'll say something along the lines of blacks, women, and muslims are people and you'll immediately boycott them.

>>375683745
Get out, anti-/po/ shitter

>>375678946

Because it hasn't been released yet.

It'll be panned once it drops.

>>375683819
when you reply like that you've pretty much folded

>>375683745
They're keeping Jon "Aryan" Jafari in their game though.

>Missing 1 collectable some where in that zone
Will it have item location if you miss one or two collectibles around the zone? Is it even a collectathon game?

>>375684218
It's not nearly as much of a collectathon as Y-L. It's closer to how much collecting there was in SM64. Though I don't know if there are missions to collect a certain amount of something to get a reward like the coin collecting missions in SM64.

>>375678946
Yooka Laylee had soul, just an old and tired one.

I loved YL, but I agree Hat looks way more lively in what we've seen. I'm still worried though about the main dev being a kike, but it looks great so far.

Chinese universities have already quantified the presence of chi which is just their equivalent of souls.
