Are you asking why people are hyped for a spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie? cos... well I don't really know how to explain that without just directing you to any of Rares 3d platform outings on the N64
As for new IPs getting hype? Sunset overdrive was what looked to me like an awesome new IP that people were luke warm for around here at least, I'm not sure some PR companies are just good at getting their new IP out there very well and some do rubbish jobs of it, I wouldn't generalize and say that "all gamers" hype all new ips, that's just not correct.

It's not meant to be a thread about why Yooka and Laylee is hyped, but it does go hand in hand with my point as gamers have hyped it up mostly on the merit of what Rare has done ( Practically Nostalgia since Rare hasn't made a 3D platformer in years ). Sunset Override indeed was a game which in retrospecective deserved more hype and you are definitely correct when you said that some PR companies are better at advertising their game. On the whole not all gamers hype all new IP's. That is true, though at the end of the day all of us have hyped at least ounce a new IP and most new IP's still make a large amount of gamers hyped up.
