Yooka-Laylee Hopefully Bigger Than Banjo-Kazooie
Yooka-Laylee developers have taken to Reddit to answer an AMA about the upcoming spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie.
Heaps of questions were flung at Playtonic Games during the session, which also offered insight into their past days working at Rare on some very well-known titles. The main focus, however, was the upcoming platformer Yooka-Laylee.
When asked if the relatively cheap Kickstarter price was indicative of the size of the game, creative lead Gavin Price explained the team was now aiming to make the title even bigger than Banjo-Kazooie. He also explained why the team hasn't announced disc versions for the Xbox One and PS4 just yet.
