Yeah, you're fine to criticize and comment, just making a vocal hypothesis of observation.
(Generic Design....*shake my head*...like Felix the cat and Buggs Bunny? we have a million cats, hedgehogs, turtles, mice, Then we grab a goofy Dreams Works Bat and Chameleon two very un involved animals in mascots and especially in gaming but no these two need an article of clothing especially the Chameleon because dammit; without the back pack or shorts I just don't get Yuuka. Oh and Laylee's nose? too cartoony it's big and noticeable and far too distracting, it's gotta go. I mean it's a video game not an actual cartoon designed for a new generation as well as an old one. What were they thinking?) ~Thinking to myself.
I hope we get a wise cracking Tutorial and move teacher. I can't think of an animal in this style where the jokes just kinda flow.
*Bugs Bunny
Yeah well here's the thing about Felix the cat and Bugs Bunny... they're old as dirt. The reason we have a million cats, rabbits, etc. is because of these characters, they're archetypes....
Just because they're not typical animal mascots doesn't mean they were designed very well. I Like Laylee, but Looka needs something to set him apart. They look like something out of one of those knock off "Pixar" movies.
EDIT: Yooka** Cause Helmo is a dahling.
(...but is still a frumpy adult)
The game was annouced less than 72 hours and people are finding reason more so to get nuts in a bunch than getting hype. That saddens me. No one has claimed these characters are better than anyone previous, but finding fault isn't going to bring out their potential. You sit around today a frumpy adult analyzing what you should be more anticipating not with some gross antitipation that THIS is going to make platforming a monumental change, some sort of redefining moment. I didn't say they were good, I just know they aren't the worst we could have received. I in fact love the fact I'm already imagining accents and voices, and jokes. If anything I just don't people sitting there judging rather than being glad that anyone in todays world still gives a shit about making something fun and good less from the perspective of making money (Cause I mean these guys could do lots of other things to earn livings.).
You know what I'm happy about? The fact people even still like 3D exploring platformers. Do you see how CRUSHED that stretch goal was? Like, that's magic a part of me wishes Sonic could die like Banjo and Kazooie did so that another speedster could give people something to get excited about instead of rummaging through their hypothesis, and theories and ideas of how much better than game could be if this or this or this. It's be more than 10 years since something this child like and whimsical and let's not forget it's a new IP. People have been wanting something new and familiar but better and it looks like people are planning on delivering on that. All I ask is everyone try not to to get your fake Sequelitis caps on. Sometimes it's just as cool to be hyped kids in grade 4 talking about a cool game some cool guys did.
