Yooka-Laylee will include its own version of the DK Rap - the infamous musical number from Donkey Kong 64 - which was revealed live on stage today at EGX Rezzed.
The upcoming platformer - due to launch in less than a fortnight - is of course made by many of the talent behind Rare classics like Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo-Kazooie.
Former Rare composer Grant Kirkhope, in particular, has worked extensively on Yooka-Laylee. The DK Rap was composed by Kirkhope nearly 20 years ago. Almost two decades later, Kirkhope has composed the Yooka-Laylee Rap.
Playtonic is a developer made up of a bunch of former RARE devs, and the first title they worked on was the 3D platformer, Yooka-Laylee. Those who followed RARE over the years definitely saw the DNA of Banjo-Kazooie in Yooka-Laylee, but it turns out the original plan was even deeper than that.
Wouldn’t they be exclusive to the Xbox One version just like they were exclusive to the Xbox 360 versions of Sega All Stars Racing
Although since Banjo-Kazooie skins were available in every version of Minecraft, it could’ve been possible for the same to apply for Yookah-Laylee
The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Limited Run Games has announced Mutant Mudds and Yooka-Laylee tabletop games, both of which are available for pre-order until early September 2021.
Lmao this man delivered
omg, based Grant Kirkhope. This is amazing.
I am very pleased. Easily headed to be the best Kickstarter game.
So cringe :/
