Golgoth Reveals Beautiful Toki Remake For XBLA, PC
October 20, 2009 2:00 PM | Eric Caoili
Tad Corporation's run'n gun platformer Toki will see a complete revamp with high definition graphics for Xbox Live Arcade and PC, courtesy of French developer Golgoth Studio. The six-strong team formed last year and seeks to "keep 2D gaming alive within this 3D world", a noble goal that's produced wonderful results!
Unlike the other most recently resurrected platforming series, Rocket Knight, the Toki remix keeps the original arcade game's 2D graphics, and from the looks of this first trailer, its level designs, power-ups, and enemies are near identical. There's also lots of monkey-spit to go around, too.
You can see more screenshot comparisons between Tad Corporation's Toki versus Golgoth's Toki at the studio's official site.

I think this sums up really well what is the current state of games. In the end it's the graphics that have improved, whereas the rest has been the same for years now.

I agree with Temujin, though we have seen some experimentation in terms of online mechanics.
