LBG - Today, developer Playtonic Games finally lifted the curtain on a tonne of news, screenshots and details for their highly-anticipated, upcoming project Yooka-Laylee.

I'm glad this game is coming to save us from generic crap like Watchdogs, The Division, Quantum break, etc.

Quantum break generic????
didn't know there is an oversaturation of games with time powers.

Apparently everything that's made by a modern studio is generic, didn't you know? The height of originality is, of course, a 3D platformer modeled after a game made 18 years ago.

I am 99.99% sure that MS will announce a new Banjo game this year.

The question is who will be the developer... I am pushing for the guys that made Sun Set Overdrive, last I heard MS approached them to make a new Conkers but they declined because they were busy working on other projects and could not give 100% to the game which would not do the fans justice.

As long as it doesn't involve f***ing CARS or something else stupid like that, I'll be happy to check that out on my roomie's XBone.
Heck, for that and Rare Replay, amongst other single player games that don't require me to shell out extra cash for Live, I might consider getting my own.

But if they don't do so, or they somehow do make a new one but it turns out to look suckish, then we've already got Yooka-Laylee coming down the pipe-line from Playtonic, and that'll suit me just fine as a Banjo fan.

Last year at E3 I got so excited when Phil Spencer came onto the stage with "one last announcement" dressed in a Rare Ltd. T-shirt. The announcement of Sea of Thieves was still great and all, but it's no Banjo Threeie. Here's hoping for this year!

"That made Sun Set Overdrive"

Insomniac Games made SSO. The same developer who makes/made R&C. Though I'm not too optimistic with the performance of their latest title.

[Relientk77]

I really want a release date for this

[gamingden]

I'm so pumped for July to actually be able to test out the Toy Box! It looks great so far.

[Germany7]

Same, maybe september?

[Germany7]

One of my most anticipated games this year.

[Hoffmann]

Still waitin' for the Mighty 9!

[Blacklash93]

Oh man I'm looking forward to this one. This is a genre of platformers I miss.
