That gif is adorable

Love the look and design of this game, although I still think Yooka would look better with one piece of clothing

Diddy Kong, Conker, Banjo all had something

Maybe a small red top or red pants, like Banjos shorts which matched the colour of Kazooies beak.

Put a hat on the bat maybe but there is nothing wrong with them not having clothing. I'd rather them not then force something and ruin this amazing design. Plus, we got a Snake in shorts...that should make you happy.

-Foxtrot3694d ago

Snake isn't the main character though is he.

They feel naked compared to their past designs

I highly doubt it would be "ruined"....no need to exaggerate it

Blackleg-sanji3694d ago

This is where the nostalgia is going to backfire on these guys I'm telling you just watch when gameplay gets showed that's 1% different than their older stuff ppl are going to flip. Look how many ppl are bothered because they don't have clothes -_- even tho trowzer does(such a great name)

i really hope this DONOT up end another kickstarter fiasco, with the developers taking the money and run away with lame apologies

That gif is amazing.

so much personality in that.

They did an interview recently with GameXplain on Youtube and during it they stated they looked into putting clothing on Yooka and Laylee in response to Kickstarter feedback, but that they weren't happy with the outcome and decided to stick with the naked designs... Although it sounds like it might also be linked to gameplay, they hinted that it might affect Yooka's ability to use camouflage (being a chameleon). It's good to know they at least looked into it.

Nah... the characters look good as they are. I suspect they'll take advantage of chameleon abilities in some way too.

I'm really looking forward to this game. The Rare veterans look like they're putting a great platformer together. It's my first Kickstarter!

KryptoniteTail3694d ago

Please, please make Vita happen, come on. GBA got a Banjo, they can scale this down hard for Vita.

Summons753694d ago

Banjo-Pilot wasn't a real Banjo game and doesn't count.

N4GJD3694d ago

Can't wait to play this game! So tired of all the generic, colorless, photorealistic shooters oversaturating the market!

N0TaB0T3694d ago

So much love for this project, so much pure excitement <3

Layoffs are always sad but in this case, it makes sense? They've only developed two games of their own and their third is a remake of the first that's been taking a very long time. I can't imagine there's much revenue flowing in to sustain them

coolbeans29d ago

Well, they're also dipping their toes into publishing.

-Foxtrot29d ago

It's sad, I was hoping they'd be super successful with how fun Yooka-Laylee was despite being rough around the edges. However they did only 2 games and the 3rd game is a remake, I was kind of expecting a proper Yooka-Laylee 2 by now.

I wish they were allowed to make Banjo-Threeie

OtterX28d ago

Yea, there was really no need to remake Yooka-Laylee again. They should have saved the new graphical fidelity on a sequel and I maybe would have been a day 1 purchaser if the game was $30 or 40 tops. With a remake, I'll just wait for a sale.
