They should have made something new instead, YL are mediocre characters in a mediocre Universum. With new characters and a new 3D platform game in a new gameplaystyle could be something to look forward to.

Couldn't the same be said about Banjo Kazooie then? Since Yooka Laylee is pretty much a BK game reskinned lol. Besides, they've already given them a new playstyle with Impossible Layer being a 2D platformer akin to Donkey Kong Country. The way I see it they've got proper financial backing now, so a new Yooka Laylee won't have to take shortcuts and whatnot like the original which was crowdfunded.

Well the characters and Universe are mediocre,  BK and its universe has a certain charm to it while YL feels like the end product of a rival TV producer who wants to create a similar hit. Funding wasn't the issue but the concept.   Rare was wise to work on other things like Donkey Kong,Mickey speedway/Perfect dark/Jet force gemini.

It wouldn't be a bad idea to do something with a new Universe. YL 2 can come later.
