I don't have a screenshot, as I usually don't take screenshots for each thing I buy (for others: do it for just anything you pay for!!!) and nintendo.de is explixitely excluded from the wayback machine.
But please consider me being able to take an informed buying decision - based on information available.
Caused by reasons mentioned above I'm not able to prove, that it was listed with 4 player local, but ok, it doesn't matter, as Nintendo and you got the money.
I really don't really see the perfomance-problem unsolveable in terms of development:
- Drop eye-candy
- On PC, I got lots of settings, so reduce stuff based on No of players
- Drop content
- I really don't need all that fancy vanity stuff, so also that could be excluded based on No of players
I assume, that many of the people arguing for split-screen here won't blame you, if the game is less pretty, but playable (if it is explained somewhere).
If the game-logic itself is such resource-consuming it's a massive architectural failure and you should take the current version for specification and begin from scratch. Personally, I'm an evangelist of green-it, thus having in mind that any redundant calculation is waste.
Ok, the last paragraph was rude, but sorry, I'm really heavily disappointed. Just wanna play (with my kids - daughter riding a unicorn)
This is my last statement in this case. I won't delete the account, but please don't await an more answer from my side.. I'm quite angry and really tired of all the excuses around. Sometimes all my kids will have their own laptop. Maybe then we give 505 and ReLogic another chance. Stuff, where Pipeworks is involved is by now boycotted. Sorry, girls and guys, but you simpy don't perform as I would demand it.
Best regards and farewell, especially to
NSK, who also fought bravely on this frontier.
