Seems like I own the game on PS4. I wonder if there'll be an upgrade path.

 

[kevboard]

This is far from the first Switch 2 game confirmation, bro

I am not aware of another one. at least not one that has a direct reference of it in a trailer.

 

[MacReady13]

Didn't really like this one. The Donkey Kong Country inspired sequel I adored.

 

[kevboard]

sure, it’s an odd name, but it’s clearly a remaster + some new stuff added in.

I'd call it a directors cut... or a 1.5 version or something.
they said they want to improve the not so great elements of the original... which IMO would encompass nearly the entire level design, most animations and the general controls and feel of the controls.

not sure if it's known how far they have gone tho

 

[bender]

I was a backer to the original Kickstarter and thought the game was mostly a miserable experience due controls and character movement. I'm curious how much tweaking they'll do but probably not curious enough to invest more money/time into it.

In my defence, the footage appears very different from what I remember the game looking back then, so it felt like something brand new which is why the name confused me.

I think we’re splitting hairs. I don’t really see how any of what you’re saying above doesn’t fit in with what would normally come in a remaster that had some real work put into it. Visually, it’s clearly a remaster and looks significantly better. Runs way better. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

There have been other game announcements from over the summer that have alluded to a Switch successor release. This one is no different.

Well. They certainly wouldn’t call a brand new game “Replaylee”, right?

well, as I said, I am not sure how far they have gone. if they truly want to fix the game, they would need to remake a TON of it. the level design was horrible, the controls felt wonky and the entire game felt unpolished.

so if they went in any redid a big chunk of the level design, redid the player controller and animations, I'd say that would be more than what one would expect from a remaster.

but I am not sure if it is already known how much they changed.

What on earth are you on about?

One of the worst dregs of hentai game, called rape lay

Yooka Rapeplayee

The one I remember is Holy Horror Mansion (a Yo-kai Watch spinoff?). It doesn't directly mention Nintendo but lists 'Platform: Secret' for a game series that has been almost exclusively on Nintendo platforms.

The Rapelay controversy was 15 years ago, so nobody remembers it at all, and you're the first person in the entire world to bring it up in relation to this.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Yookah was a good attempt its target was the banjo crowd.

Yea i realize now that it's just the replaylee part, I sometimes do word associations like some times I probably am the only one.
I still think it's a terrible name.

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

Ah yes, bringing up imagery of rape lay, a sound strategy.
What a terrible name

I would sincerely love for you to further explain this comment. Genuine curiosity.

My mind decided with the way replaylee is spelled and sounds associated with rape lay, stupid I know.

He's talking about this game:

RapeLay - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

RapeLay in particular had come to Vaz's attention in 2009, three years after its initial release, as it was sold on Amazon.com, despite not being officially distributed nor supported outside of Japan, and he vowed to bring the issue into the British Parliament to prevent the game from being sold. Amazon subsequently removed the game from sale on its website. Equality Now urged activists to write to Illusion and then-Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso in protest, arguing the game breaches Japan's obligations under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. In May 2009, these actions culminated in the restriction of the sale and production of RapeLay by the Ethics Organization of Computer Software (EOCS), an independent Japanese ratings organization for adult games, making it impossible to purchase the game even in Japan.

Interesting

Interesting

Yea, I relive memories like that. Something will cause an association to a memory and I need an outlet otherwise I dissociate for a bit.
Sometimes I look like a crazy person, this being case and point.
