For Playtonic Games' newest release, you may be wondering why Yooka-Laylee costs $40 instead of the traditional $60 price. The studio told We Write Things the reasoning behind the price.
Ratchet and clank Remaster over a brand new game. Don't talk dribble. Fair enough I agree it was a big improvement but it was 2 generations old still Yooka is a brand new game £30/40 wouldn't be extortionate.
Great, i'm getting it day-one! Unless it's not worth it. I'm really looking forward to play a 3D platformer with old style elements. Always loved those games.
Yeah, the gameplay videos had spyro vibes. Seems like a spot on platformer, world activities and puzzles, even buying new portals or other things like some spyro worlds
LAWSON72, yeah, in the podcasts I hear them say, but unfortunately I never played Banjo Kazzoie. Nice to know there's a fan base. Hope it does well, it's always nice having good platformers every now and then.
Glad it's no any higher in price as I already pre-ordered it. Ratchet and Clank was a fantastic game for $40 and that was the perfect price. Any higher and I think that would have hurt sales. I hope some of the smaller games can start being priced at $40, including smaller niche titles.
40 is awesome. I would even buy it at full price. i am willing to support developers who offer me high quality 3d platformers because i hope for a major comeback auf this genre.
Guys i preordered it. I played the toybox mode , it is very solid , but it's confusing since you don't per se progress, but it's beautiful and very smooth :)
You can get most games for $30-$40 (except Nintendo) just a few months after release. So, the reasoning (wanting to reach as many people as possible) doesn't exactly make much sense.
Why don't you think it won't be worth 40 if it is a good game? graphics look decent, so if they nail gameplay and content for what reason do you think this game wouldn't qualify for a 40$ price tag or even 59$?
It just doesn't look like a full fledged and polished game. The Animations, effects and graphic look off in a lot of scenes and compared to ratchet its a joke of a game. I know people love Banjoo and Nostalgia is the big plus this game has, but to be honest, it doesn't look really good.
Games like Inside and Hyper Light Drifter have way more work put into and are half the price.
one of the main reasons i picked up ratchet and clank was the price. I never got into it in the ps2 era, looked good and loved the commercial but i guess i was into other games at the time. anyway i can say it was the best money I've spent so far in this new gen era, easily one of the best games this gen, nostalgia aside. The gameplay and overall aesthetics of the game were just great, great game to throw on and have a good time, definitely lives up to the true platform title. Hopefully this trend takes hold, theres a lot of us gamers who love games like this.
If Ratchet and Clank managed to release at €34,99 this should've been €29,99 or worst case scenario, the same as R&C
Would have bought it day one anyway, but glad it's only $40

Not long ago a full price AAA game on PC was £30 or less for me, now £35 is considered cheap...
