Yooka-Laylee - Gamescom 2016 Trailer
- Thread starter Shadowlink
- Start date
I'm a little worried about how satisfying the movement will feel.
Mario games are the best platformers to me because they have this addictive bounciness to the physics. Long jumping, wall jumping, diving, skidding, etc. are just enjoyable in their own right. Yooka Laylee looks a bit basic in the locomotion department.

Hah, it has more platforming than Banjo-Tooie, and that one's my favorite.
Yeah, while I really like what I see and while it is one of the very few games I will play in the near future I feel like everything lacks a bit of 'punch'.
I love whats been shown, it looks like it has alot of charm and fun like Kazooie/Tooie. I admit the music for the trailer didnt fit what was going on but im sure it fits in some game zone. The only thing im afraid of is that the worlds wont feel super unique and atmospheric as they used too I loved the themeing elements of the previous game and hope the world feels like a character as much as the npc's do. But then again the first level in the Banjo games is usually never your favorite.
Ps. I hope they add a grab ledge ability like Banjo Tooie because that was very useful.

I do hope the music is as legendary as Kazooie/Tooie, I can still repeat all of their levels melodies in my mind to this day.
Ask and ye shall receive
Yeah! Thanks, didn't see that before!

Honestly this looks really damn impressive to me considering the team size / budget.

This looks so much better than the trailer it's ridiculous. Definitely washed out the bad taste the trailer left for me.

This game looks to be everything I dreamed of. First Kickstarter that I haven't regretted backing!
Ah, the eurogamer footage looks good. The area is big, but each part looks distinct enough to be manageable. Lots of characters to be found an different areas. A good mix of exploration, platforming, and unique challenges like mine carting and mini puzzle solving. And the collectibles seem logically placed and no annoyingly overwhelming. Hopefully we'll see some more people playing through the area later.

The Eurogamer gameplay video looks a hell of a lot better than the trailer. And that area should be even more fun with all the enemies, etc added in.

This continues to look so, so good. I need something like this. Makes me want to boot up Rare Replay and play some Banjo. Think I might actually.

Laughed at "Kartos," the "God of ore."
I got the same feeling from it, haha.
no worries here for my parts, but I might be biased as I grew up on dkc64 and banjo tooie, but not Banjo kazooie which I played more recently.
thing look very similar to what they did in that era, I never though there was too much collectable (except in dkc64, especially for the final K krool world), however this is something that they are aware of, from a prior interview.
I don't mind the toilet humor, it do not surprise me, after all you could fart and "vomit" eggs in banjo tooie.
My main concern so far is the emptyness of the worlds, but I doubt that this will be a big issue.

Bolded are things banjo did too, not bolded are subjective.

It's Banjo-Threeie and I love it. Really digging the new main villain, the snow world and the new city area.
Controls in water look a bit rough. I'm not 100% sure I like the characters' animations - maybe I'm just used to fat plumbers and bears, but I feel like there's no real sense of weight to the jumps. Just a small nitpick.

"Fart bubble is stupid" is now my favourite game criticism of the year.

Generic as in? Because of course there are so many 3d platformers with animals Ala banjo Kazooie? Lmao

The success of others absolutely infuriates me.
I mean, I guess in comparison to the 90s Rare-o-sphere, yeah...
Nowadays though, there aren't that many games aiming for the same thing as Yooka-Laylee.

Everything about the game itself looks phenomenal. Really the only thing that concerns me is the Unity engine, which is complete garbage as far as I'm concerned (particularly when it comes to performance). Unreal would've been a much better choice.

You mean there's none.
lt's not generic at all, it's full of personality. Of course it looks, sounds and plays like a 90's Rare game, that's the point. Doesn't make it generic though. Generic would be a cover based tps in a post apocalyptic setting where you play as a 30 something dude wearing a beanie.
It would go with a Costume Quest trailer...man I want another one of those games.

Very clean and nice visual style, which is something missing from a lot of other attempts at these kind of retro 3D platformers (probably helps that these guys are vets). Really just hope the PS4 port is up to snuff.

Do Eurogamer's Yooka Laylee videos play really choppy for anyone else? The YouTube player grey-noise error-screen's eventually but the video plays ok (well, juddery like Toybox) downloaded with 4K Video Downloader.
I just framed through and there's both full-frame drops and weird instances where Yooka and Laylee animate for a frame, but none of the world around them.
