chloyster, do gaming w Caves of Qud’s Spring Molting update released today!

Sick! I tried the beta for this out and was very impressed. Game has been great for a while but the controller support for me is pushing it even higher

It always looked good, just played poorly.

So they aren’t updating the original? Just releasing a new version??

I kinda feel like they’re trying to make me buy the game again.

The original was a great game despite being a little buggy, so taking the opportunity to fix a few of them sounds great!

Why does this game need a remake? It came out pretty recently. They could probably just release a graphics and content patch for the base game. Or a sequel. Why rerelease a game like this?

eutsgueden,

To me it’s kinda the perfect game to remake (hopefully it IS remade and not just rereleased) because it had a lot of potential that it just did not live up to. A graphics and content pack would not improve the game much at all, because the let down was the gameplay and mechanics. If they can re-tool that, they may have a solid game here.

Shouldn’t they just make a sequel in that case?

eutsgueden,

Maybe! I don’t think there’s a right answer until hindsight shows us how the game does. I can also imagine it has a lot to do with what the folks holding the money think will sell better, a sequel to a poorly received game, or a (potentially) lower risk remake?

I guess if we get new games in the long run I don’t really mind, it just seems weird.

I played Yooka-Laylee on release and it was overall an enjoyable game. As I understand they fixed a number of bugs a few months after release, but by then us release day folks had beaten it (and reviewers reviewed it).

The first level of the game was excellent, the later levels felt more rushed (or at least lacking the same level of polish). Maybe the changes will be to those levels, although level layout is key so I don’t know if you can just resize/move things.

I played Impossible Lair about a year after release and thought it was awesome.

Based on this trailer I doubt I’ll play the original again, but maybe I can be convinced.

You mean another one? Impossible Lair was actually great.

I’d take another Impossible Lair over mainline game, but I’m not against a proper 3D collect-a-thon sequel.

Both were enjoyable, but Impossible Lair was better.

Matticus,

They probably are, but they decided to make it over in a new engine. Since they have to port the gameplay mechanics over anyways, why not release a remastered version of the original to help fund development of the next one.

Drummyralf,

Just speculation on my part, but perhaps they are using a different engine. The original was made in Unity, this one looks like it was made in Unreal.

bionicjoey,

Ah, probably another Slay The Spire 2 type situation then. Unity really screwed the pooch on that one.

Katana314,

I wonder how many tools Unreal has written to convert assets over from Unity setups…

Drummyralf, (edited )

3D models aren’t tied to Unity, so all 3D models could probably easily be imported to Unreal.

Unity also has a 3D model exporter, so they could have used that to get all 3D models positions into Unreal within minutes.

E: still stuff like animations and game logic obviously take more time. Not trying to say that porting a whole game can be done in minutes, just the 3D Models.

Katana314,

Yes, there are many basic file types that would be easy. That said, 3D models and raw image textures are only a few basic examples of game assets. Many like customized materials or maps just save in an engine-specific format.

Hence the comment suggesting they have tools that at least closely convert what someone has from Unity.

I wanted to like this more than I did; I backed the kickstarter. Maybe I’ll check this out when it comes out

turkalino,

Sadly, I don’t think ray tracing is going to fix how boring this game is. I also backed the kickstarter because I’m a huge Banjo Kazooie fan. I started this game 3 separate times and could never will myself to get more than halfway. Not only is the gameplay uninteresting, the writing just doesn’t have the same charm as the BK games

catloaf,

Agreed. I wanted to like it, I really did. But it just wasn’t fun.

ItalianSkeletonGaming, do games w NakeyJakey - In Defense of the 7/10 Games

@simple My favorite 7/10 game is Enclave by Starbreeze

The animations are broken, the enemy AI brain-dead, and bows and arrows are hit-scans, but man, the combat is just so much fun

Xantar,

They tried putting it on NDS and mobile IIRC. Same vibe

Looks good but not for me don’t do online anymore way to much cheating.

I wish multiplayer FPS games remembered how to do LAN and split-screen, because this otherwise looks pretty cool.

Remember to wait for the golden ultra edition on PC at 50% off before buying or you’ll miss all the dlc and 2 different versions with 20% of the content they cut out of the base game!

Erm, that’s quite the bare bones trailer we’ve got here, somewhat underwhelming. Not every trailer is going to be Long Live the Lich or War Eternal, but come on.

Paradachshund,

It felt like they wanted to focus on features more in this one. There was a lot to unpack I think for those who like to go through and theory craft.

I do agree that the ones you mention were much better cinematically though.

dinckelman,

I’ll reserve my judgement until I experience the new content, but it felt like a player-made machinima at best. I’m incredibly excited about the new raid

I dunno about this one. Waiting to see what the crowd thinks as far as reviews. Secrets of the Obscure was as mediocre as they come and I have doubts now.
