changedSo, we rang up Caddicarus and invited him for a visit to the Playtonic offices. Then we superglued him down onto the brown leather sofa next to Studio Director Gavin Price and made him play and talk Yooka-Replaylee with us for over two hours. We've condensed the chat into this 1.5h video on YouTube for you to enjoy on this brisk Saturday on October. So, grab a bevvy and a snack and join us for a comparison video between Yooka-Laylee and Yooka-Replaylee.
