Yooka-Laylee (Banjo-Kazooie Successor)

Anyone else seen this pop up on Kickstarter?

Yooka-Laylee is an all-new 3D platformer from the creative talent behind the Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong Country games. We’ve come together to form Playtonic Games and create a spiritual successor to our most cherished work from the past!

It's already smashed it's goal and still has 45 days left.

Not sure which i'm going for yet.

Spotted it on PC Gamer and thought there would be quite a bit of interest. The money is raking in at the moment and being as its mainly made up of the original team then I have high hopes.

This is why Kickstarter is a good thing, this would never get made otherwise!

Self published, it's a handful of ex Rare members who have started their own studio.

I think they said they had a combined 100 years of experience between them with Rare.
