Trowzer pants are Banjo's ?
Did he kill him ?
So Trowzer stole Banjo's pants and Dr. Puzz stole his goldfish. Wonder who has his backpack.

Yooka-Laylee is a spiritual successor as much as Perfect Dark was, as in it's basically GoldenEye 2 without the Bond license. If another dev made PD instead of Rare it would've been called a GE clone, like how there are many Minecraft clones these days. The Tomb Raider reboot is an Uncharted clone, Red Dead Redemption is GTA with horses, etc. etc.
I would say Super Mario Galaxy is a spiritual successor to Super Mario 64,
and that Yooka-Laylee would've been a direct sequel to Banjo-Tooie like SMG2 is to SMG1, if they were allowed to used the Banjo IP.
Maybe some people expected Yooka Laylee to capture the spirit of Banjo Kazooie, without actually being BK (again, like SM64 -> SMG)
This game looks like a 13 year old game that ran in a browser... riiiight.

Enough time to turn it from a boring collectable to an original and ingenious vehicle construction game?
This just doesn't look appealing in any way to me. The gameplay looks boring and decided to put in the shitting cart levels from DK doesn't exactly instil much conference that they care about fun game design.

I take it you weren't a fan of the Banjo games on the N64 and instead liked Nuts & Bolts more?
If that's the case, then, as the poster above me already said, the game is simply not for you.

So, No Man's Sky art director tweeted this and Steve Mayles responded:

The Rare fan in me is so happy
Main game idea would be the unique ways Trowzer would wear different types of clothes...

You're in luck, Playtonic actually wants to make a connected universe of games provided YL is successful, like how Banjo and Conker spun off from Diddy Kong Racing.
After this, Playtonic should make a 2D spiritual successor to DKC complete with pre-rendered graphics in the style of the SNES trilogy, exploring more of the characters from Yooka-Laylee. Preferably something dark and atmospheric, doing for DKC2 what Yooka-Laylee did for Banjo-Kazooie!
Then they can take this expanded universe and make a mascot racer with an explorable overworld and boss battles in an Adventure Mode, giving us the sequel to Diddy Kong Racing we've always wanted.

It's probably just not for you.
People were shitting themselves over the Sony E3 conference but I didn't see a single game that interested me.
Does it mean those games are bad? Hell no!
I'm just not interested in them.

Same here.
Yooka-Laylee news and the announcement of Rhythm Heaven Megamix were the highlights of E3 to me, yet not many people are commenting about them.

Wow, just saw this (thanks for the people that voted for it in the E3 thread, I would've missed it otherwise). Looks fantastic! Huge Rare vibes, the like we haven't seen from "actual" Rare in forever.
Also that Banjo-style outro was fantastic. LOVE.

This hasn't been posted yet, it seems. It's an interview with Grant Kirkhope and the king of the googly eyes himself, Steve Mayles. They play through the Toybox thing that's supposed to come out soon.

I don't get it...
