Yooka-Laylee Reaches Final Stretch Goal On The Last Day Of Its Kickstarter Campaign

Looking forward to it

So sick of kickstarter.

Yooka-Laylee looks pretty good so far but would be more excited if it wasn't a kickstarter game.

@A01 Actually that announcement soured me on kickstarter. Announcing a kickstarter of a game in a E3 conference is pathetic.

Never in doubt!

@Parasky The game wouldn't exist without crowdfunding. I'll never get the hate for KS. It allows passionate gamers to help bring about games that would never get made otherwise. 3D platformers don't sell, so no big publisher was going to back this without KS.

Have any of these Kickstarted games been made yet? Its been a while since Mighty Number 9 was funded. Barkley 2 was meant to come out last year...

@Antiginger
There's broken age, it's out and is a kickstarter game.

Free DLC! Yes!

@Peach64 Playtonic actually had all the funding in place before they even announced the game. The reason they decided to put up a Kickstarter is, because of an overwhelming fan reaction and to make a better, more ambitious game.

First Yooka-Laylee, then Bloodstained, and now Shenmue 3 has also reached it's 2,000,000 mark with 31 days to go. What a damn fine year for Kickstarter. I hope all three games are absolutely amazing.

Thought the campaign was already over, great everything was funded. I hope Shenmue 3 comes to Wii U, it already smashed it's funding goal not even a day later. An FAQ stated PS4 and PC are the planned platforms but others have not been decided. With it's quick success it may happen

I support kickstarter in case of games like Y-L and Bloodstained, but Sony couldn't put up the funding for Shenmue 3? I don't support it, if they want to gauge interest, use a survey or something. With publishers like Sony using it, kickstarter loses all its meaning.

Nice, free additional content. Bloodstained and Shenmue also look great, but Yooka-Laylee is the Kickstarter game I'm most interested in, since I love 3D platformers.

@Mega719 It should at least be on the XB1, Shenmue 2 was on Xbox. Sega should really consider funding it, along with an HD collection of the other two.

@A01 I don't think of it as begging for money as much as utilizing a tool to effectively gauge interest.
Sony hears that people want the game, then they wonder if it will really sell. Some in the company think it will, but most think it won't. However, if enough people are willing to pay for it beforehand then they know interest is high enough to justify making the game.

@khaosklub Broken Age is not the best example one should take to say that kickstarter games are safe to support. Tim Schafer made a great mess with this kickstarter because he was unable household the budget for this game and needed more money for it. In the end, the game was not what it was planned and a horrible ending was simply squeezed into to finish the game. Really, don't take this game as a good example, take this one: Pier Solar HD.

@leo13 Just like with Nintendo, Platinum Games and Bayonetta 2.

Guess I'll have to get a next gen console then. Oh well.

I had forgotten about it, I just backed it up

@SnuggleMon
never said it was good, just that it was out, and a kickstarter game... don't really know any other ones that are out...

@leo13 The major problem with that kind of arguement is that they had the gall to ask for $2 mill right off the bat. Yooka-Laylee asked for a tenth of that and release cooler and cooler stretch goals as People donated more and more money. Sony looked at the success of Yooka-Laylee and Bloodstained and went "I wonder how much cash we can milk out of this."
