I guess some of you know the Honest Trailers by the channel "Screen Junkies" on YouTube. Check them out if you don't - they're hilarious. On the channel "Smosh Games", there are game trailers in the same fashion. And now, they did one about Banjo-Kazooie and Yooka-Laylee:
Yooka-Laylee should be its own game with its own feeling. It shouldn't try to be like Banjo-Kazooie, it shouldn't try to be like Donkey Kong, it should be like Yooka-Laylee.
As far as I know - I could be totally wrong, so don't get mad at me for saying this - nowadays it takes much longer to create games than it used to 15 years ago.
