Yooka-Laylee (PC, PS4, One, Wii U)

I think this was covered in the Kickstarter thread but never got its own. Anyway, there's a new Gamescom trailer:



I like the music, but nothing else is doing it for me.

[Rumpy]

Wow, they didn't diverge from Banjo. The music is practically pulled directly out of that series.

[Pineapple]

You know that game that you passed on just because you read the name and right then decided "Nah."

[kedawa]

Sqrxz?

[Finch]

Imagine: Babiez. I guess it's not dark or souls enough for him.

As far as western 3D platformers go, this is way more appealing than, uh, anything else, especially Rare, but i wish they'd drop the googly eyes.

[Diff-chan]

This looks exactly like Banjo-Kazooie, which I guess is what people want?

[Frogacuda]

It looks bigger and denser than Banjo, though. I was never a fan of Rare's platformers, but this seems more appealing to me than those were. The characters are still pretty bad though.

[ChaoofNee]

I played and loved the ToyBox demo thing Platonic released. Yes, it's basically another Banjo. Yes, I really like it because that's exactly what I wanted it to be. No, you won't like it if you don't like Banjo.

[Rumpy]

I have the feeling that I want to play this because it's been so long since I've played a game like this. Then an hour in I'd realize that hey, I did have my fill of this 20 years ago.

I thought that too when Banjo was released on the 360 and then played the game to 100% anyway. I'd never done that on the original cartridge. Don't know if it was the better controls or just that I hadn't played a game like in a long enough time to enjoy it again, but I played the whole thing front to back. It's been a good while since then and I'm thinking it's about time for another.
