An excellent throwback
10 years ago
For those of you who may not be aware, some of the developers from Rare Ltd., the creators of Banjo-Kazooie, have banded together to form a new studio, Playtonic Games, and are creating a rather stunning project for their debut. It's for the modern era consoles, but would look quite at home in the era of games like Pac-Man World, Crash Bandicoot, and, of course, Banjo-Kazooie itself. It's called Yooka-Laylee (say it out loud), and looking at the gameplay footage they've put out, it reminds me of all the fun I had as a kid playing the cartoony gather-fest games. Unlike them, however, Playtonic has all of the processing power of the modern age behind their creation, allowing for even more stunning visuals, more complex levels and enemies, and longer, more expanive worlds to play in. I'm probably not the best (or easily comprehensible) place to learn about this from, though, so why not go ahead and check out their kickstarter page and see this wonderful new platformer for yourself!
