Did Rareware change its name to Rare when Microsoft bought it?

If so, I'm going to start associating Rareware and Playtonic together now, with Rare being some other useless developer.

Meet Yooka & Laylee

lol at the pun in their names. The designs look pretty nice. Them being a bat and a lizard is a pretty interesting sight.

I recommend a ban on Daxdiv for making me click an ign link. :thinkin:

So it's really a 3D platformer, huh? I love how Yooka-Laylee look more animalistic than many similar mascots. Even Donkey Kong has a tie.

At least IGN is better than Kotaku.  :sly:

 :shit: When did Kotaku get that bad? ...wait, they wrote that Blood Dragon is homophobic story, didn't they? :thinkin:

Of course, we can't judge it since the game's not out yet. But let's hope this means that Rareware is truly back.

Man this game looks cool as hell.

Please don't let us down.

Tons of footage and interviews are being put up there now.

Remember, today is the kickstarter! I expect this thing to get funded in fifteen minutes.

Edited: Uh, I was close. IT WAS FUNDED IN FORTY MINUTES.

OFFICIAL kICKSTARTER!

Looks like every stretch goal will be nailed.

So that was the first Kickstarter I've officially backed.

Given my history with the genre, I'm a bit puzzled. But then I remembered Banjo-Kazooie and Jak & Daxter and hit the backing button. Now to play the waiting game for my Wii U copy.

Oh, and they just hit the Quiz Show stretch goal.

Suh-weet. Feels good to have a pure platforming 3D game to anticipate for once.

QuoteYes, we employ the man responsible for DK64's myriad of trinkets, but we've had a stern word.
