MCV:
The creative director and studio head at Playtonic Games is about to debut his first project on Kickstarter. He and five other senior veterans from acclaimed UK developer Rare have bandied together to launch a new studio which aims to take gamers back to 1996, when 3D platformers were all the rage and Rare was the jewel in the UK's games development crown.
Playtonic is a developer made up of a bunch of former RARE devs, and the first title they worked on was the 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee. Those who followed RARE over the years definitely saw the DNA of Banjo-Kazooie in Yooka-Laylee, but it turns out the original plan was even deeper than that.
Wouldn’t they be exclusive to the Xbox One version just like they were exclusive to the Xbox 360 versions of Sega All Stars Racing
Although since Banjo-Kazooie skins were available in every version of Minecraft, it could’ve been possible for the same to apply for Yookah-Laylee
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Tencent Acquire Playtonic Minority Stake - Playtonic are looking toward a busy and exciting future with Tencent on board to drive development
Companies need to open their eyes to what both Tencent and china is doing..
N64 era is back?
no its not
It's great for them to back back in action. I'll be getting this on the WiiU since that is where I first played BK. Wonder if this game will knock BK out from being on of the best games ever made.
I really don't care what platform it's on. I don't know why people would get a Wii U just to play this when it's coming on other consoles aswell.
If the Wii U had a N64 type controller I'd get it but it dosen't
This is very exciting. I would love to see these devs make something great!
Oh give me a break
