GI Show – Hellblade, Drawn To Death, Yooka-Laylee Interview




The Game Informer Show show

Summary: London's calling or something on this week's spiritual successor-focused Game Informer Show. First up, we talk about our trip to Ninja Theory in Cambridge, England for an exclusive look at Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice that we cover in the latest issue of the magazine. After some discussion about comparisons to Heavenly Sword, we shift over to Brian Shea's thoughts on Playtonic's Yooka-Laylee and how it both succeeds and fails as a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. We also talk about Blaster Master Zero and Drawn to Death before some great community emails. The back half of this week's show is an interview with Yooka-Laylee's creative lead Gavin Price on the game's development and the interesting future for Playtonic's games.
