Yooka-Laylee

Aura24 · May 26, 2015 10:34 PM

Some of you may already know of this, but Yooka-Laylee is an upcoming 2016 game that is being developed by ex-members of Rare who also did Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. It's basically a successor of Banjo-Kazooie, with the title characters Yooka the Chameleon and Laylee the Bat.

They're currently having a Kickstarter that ends in June that has rewards for backers who held fund the game -

Never got to play Banjo as a kid, but I'm definitely excited to see a new platformer coming out made by the pros.

I saw a gameplay clip of it. Plan to get it if it gets out on WiiU.

Aura24 · May 26, 2015 11:09 PM

It does come out on the Wii U, and Xbox One and PS4 and PC. Getting a digital copy is also one of the backers rewards for those who fund the game on its Kickstarter.

What Aura said.

I don't know much bout Banjo- Kazooie but I do like them. Donkey Kong 64 is one of my favourite games. So I'm looking forward to this game.

Yooka and Laylee are awesome already fond of them.

I can see this game being a lot of fun and since (According to google) its using the Unity engine, opens the doors to people to make more content for the game even after completing it. This should be interesting.

Revealed NPC characters~

Trowzers

"Trowzer is a business-snake whose career never took off. Not that he knows it – the smug, serpent salesman thinks he’s the bee’s knees (not that he has knees), and for a little dosh he’ll teach you some of the slick moves he picked up on the high-stakes sales floor."

Ghost Writers

"In their physical days these articulate phantoms were the scribes behind Yooka-Laylee’s mysterious book worlds. However, following their suspicious demise the Ghost Writers’ unsettled souls are now cursed to endlessly wander their creations in search of spectre salvation. Free their spirits for a special reward…

“The Ghost Writers haunting the book worlds will add a fun twist to collecting. There are a variety of different types hidden in every world, each with their own unique requirement for being caught.

“Mix that with the different areas in which you’ll find them, and hopefully they’ll result in a fresh challenge with every encounter. They’re like a living (un-living?) collectible.”

I'm excited for this not because I ever played Banjo Kazzoie but because I'm getting so sick of 2D platformers. I miss the 3D ones sad

Stormy · May 30, 2015 4:13 PM

Yes. People think of "platformer" and "2D" as synonymous these days, it seems. I would totally back this, but it looks like they've already raised way more than enough. tongue

Mr. John · Jun 01, 2015 4:32 PM

I like how Yooka and Laylee have things that set them apart.

Yooka csn use a spin attack, and her tongue to reach things.

Laylee has a supersonic scream and he can fly Yooka across gaps.

Aura24 · Jun 01, 2015 5:31 PM

Yooka is male and Laylee is female.

Is Yooka the green or the purple/blue one.

Aura24 · Jun 01, 2015 6:19 PM

Yooka is the green chameleon.

Flapjacks · Jun 01, 2015 10:48 PM

a trouser snake, huh?

Mr. John · Jun 02, 2015 12:50 AM

Thanks for confirming that I was confused about it for a while.

But yeah they, have things that set them apart, Yooka has a spin attack, and can use his tongue to reach things. And Laylee can use a supersonic scream and fly Yooka across gaps.

When is the release of this game? Or did I not read that part...

[Edit] Oh, 2016.

a 3d platformer? SIGN ME UP!

Mr. John · Jun 04, 2015 3:44 AM

It'll be a blast looks great already. I wonder who the main antagonist will be? Maybe an evil tiger? A bad sorcerer? Or evil Enchantress? Guess we'll find out.
