Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair announced (2D platformer with top down overworld)

[KoolAid]

 

[Comic Obsessed]

You better bee good.

 

[Haze]

I'm listening

 

[Oreiller]

Ok, I'm interested.

 

[Raijinto]

Cool!

 

[Lant_War]

I didn't like Yooka Laylee, but this looks much more interesting.

 

[GarthLordOfTheSith]

Ok. You have my attention. I enjoyed the first game.

 

[Phil32]

That looks awesome. Yooka-Laylee Country Returns!

 

[CloseTalker]

Sure, I'll give it a shot. I'm glad they haven't abandoned the IP

 

[Foot]

I like what I am seeing here.

 

[Gestault]

Is that text in the "Impossible Lair" part of the logo made to deliberately look like one of the old default Powerpoint word styles?

 

[BrokenFiction]

You have my attention.

 

[Rika]

I didn't care for it, but may check this out.

 

[Bonejack]

Looks like a mix of New Super Yooka-Laylee and Yooka-Laylee 3D Land.

Keeping an eye on it. Liked the first game. ^^

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Looks cool, still haven't played my copy of the normal game, so I need to get on that.

 

[Schnee]

I'm up for some DKC style platforming

 

[Plinkerton]

This much more my jam than the first game. Kinda reminding me of Crash.

 

[Camjo-Z]

So it's DKC mixed with Zelda? Can't say I expected that at all, but it looks great!

 

[Deleted member 51539]

Please don't hurt me again.

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Okay, this looks pretty cool. Seems like they've found a fun way to shake up the formula.

 

[HockeyBird]

Reminds me a lot of Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. That's a good thing.

 

[unicornKnight]

So it's a blend of Tropical Freeze and 3D World.

 

[Etrian Darkness]

Oh this looks vastly more interesting than the first game. I'm way more down for a Donkey Kong Country than another Banjo.

 

[Deleted member 8861]

oddly enough the idea reminds me of NIER, and I'm down for that

 

[hEist]

not a fan of 2D-like jump&run. Hoped for a 3D sequel like the first one. But that's just me.

 

[manustany]

Looks pretty good!

 

[ChaosXVI]

Looks a LOT like DKC Tropical Freeze, but it could also be that David Wise music. Looks great!

 

[Dr. Lucien Sanchez]

Well this looks (and sounds) lovely

 

[Tregard]

I wasn't expecting Yooka and Laylee to be the main characters again, honestly.

 

[Mugy]

If this is any closer to Donkey Kong Country, then i'm down for it. They got David Wise, so thats a good thing

 

[HeresSomeWeapons]

So, Donkey Kong Country.

I'm in

 

[jetpacks was yes]

I kinda wish they had learned from the first game and tried to make a 3d platformer closer to B-K quality, but this still looks nice.

 

[Moltres006]

Well if we dont get another dkc game, we'll still have this.

 

[AnonymousApple]

Never played the original, but this looks far more interesting to me.

 

[mclem]

Is this Yooka Laylee's Grunty's Revenge?

 

[Dark Cloud]

Please let this bee good!

 

[Zero_IYAD]

Yooka-Laylee Tropical Freeze

 

[Strittles]

Whoa it looks amazing! I was not expecting the sequel to be 2D but I very much prefer this. I'll gladly buy another DKC inspired platformer.

 

[Mushlikeahusky]

As someone who didnt love the first this looks way better for what they are going for

 

[KoolAid]

 

[AudioEppa]

You lost my interest at 2d and top down.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Glad to see them doing a 2D platformer to help fulfill the Rare legacy. Obviously I hope they still do more 3D platforming in the future, but this is pretty awesome looking.

 

[Geg]

That's some David fucking Wise music I hear

 

[Deleted member 4093]

Man I'm buying it lol. Pretty much DKC

 

[Drencrom]

Woah, this looks really good 👀

 

[Snarfington]

Yooka Laylee was fine, a solid base, but clearly VERY constrained by a limited budget and wanting to stick as close as possible to the old vibe. Plus that talking fridge was a living nightmare.

This looks many times more interesting. A DKC-style platformer with some interesting overworld elements to mix things up. Hell yeah.

 

[TheMoon]

DONKEY KONG COUNTRY 4!!


DAVID FUCKING WISE

 

[CurseVox]

I like the new direction!

 

[Dark Cloud]

Man I'm buying it lol. Pretty much DKC

Click to shrink...

Same. This has me so interested because of DK and David Wise.

 

[Refyref]

The overhead sections remind me a bit of the isometric-ish style of platformers that were somewhat popular on GBA. I was wondering if those would ever make a return.
