Support NeoGAF

[IbizaPocholo]

It's been 5 years since we launched our first title, Yooka-Laylee!

We'd like to say a massive thank you to YOU, our community, for all the support, creations you've made and shared with us, as well as all the memories you've given us along the way

 

[LordOfChaos]

This ever going to get a 3D sequel?

I hope it didn't take down hopes of a Banjo remake/Threeie with its reception. It was a fine first effort.

 

[Captain Toad]

Not sure if Yooka-Laylee ever reached a level worth celebrating.

 

[MacReady13]

The game was OK. Their 2nd effort on the other hand was fucking amazing.

 

[TexMex]

Nothing to celebrate at all.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

This and A Hat in Time.

Hat in Time is amazing though

Downloaded the first game through Gamepass, saw it was 30 FPS and uninstalled it after 15 seconds. Sorry, not sorry. Update your shit and then people might care.

It is a platformer, it can totally be played at 30 FPS… . Better if it were 60 FPS? Sure, but smooth 30 FPS is playable: SM64 was 30 FPS with 20 FPS dips in some rare occasions.

What?!! Sure it is , it a statement that those type of games still sell. That an team that operates as old Rate can still work ..

So everything but the game itself got it

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

The first was enjoyable, but quite flawed.

The Impossible Lair on the other hand, is Donkey Kong Country 4 in all but name and it's a fantastic game.

 

[rofif]

Wait. So it's not trash ? That's all I've heard about it

 

[Y0ssarian]

Shit game. Impossible Lair is okay

The game is also Allright , there are worse experiences.

 

[Despiralman69]

First game was pretty meh, platforming was just no where near the level of banjo and even donkey kong 64 (which also isnt a very good game) 2nd game was lit though but then they went the 2d route with that one

Yes.

"The sizeable investment will allow the studio to more than double its headcount, expand to three development teams and create more games, one of which will be a sequel to the 2017 3D platform game: Yooka-Laylee."

At the end of March this year they have expanded and opened a second studio in Leamington Spa.

Not sure if Yooka-Laylee ever reached a level worth celebrating.

Whilst the first game was good but not spectacular, It's worth celebrating the fact that a niche genre has a dedicated studio. With some of the legends of the genre at every level. It says it all that Nintendo still turn to David Wise and Grant Kirkhope for Smash Ultimate music and Tropical Freeze music and these 2 guys are basically on call for Playtonic.

And The Impossible Lair is a fucking great game, absolutely top class.

 

[anthony2690]

The first world or two were okay on this game, the later world's were pretty dire.
And the hub world was absolutely awful.

The impossible lair was a lot better imo.

 

[ChoosableOne]

We had a lot fun with it. It's good to have some devs who makes games suitable for kids(like old days).

Youre seriously using a game released in 1996 as a counterpoint? I don't care if its a walking sim, it could be a point and click, it could be a fucking RTS and it would still be shit today if it was 30 FPS. 30 FPS is eye cancer in 2022 and my experience with Yooka Laylie is that 30 FPS kills it instantly for me. Plus the characters look fucking stupid, the name is stupid.
The Impossible Lair was fire though. Played that one and loved it.

[The Skull]

It's in the back log and I am looking forward to palying it, if for nothing else other than nostaligc banjo vibes.

 

[TexMex]

High praise!

You sound like the type of person who's incredibly insecure about being "cool" or "masculine" and refuse to be associated with anything even remotely "kiddie".

Also you might want to get your eyes checked if you're basically unable to play games that are 30fps

Between Tooie, N&B, and Y-L, these guys really seem to struggle with pacing and world size. Bigger is not better, B-K was a master class in a game being as large as it needs to be and no more.
