How old is Sonic the Hedgehog?

Playtonic has released an hour worth of gameplay footage for the upcoming release of Yooka-Replaylee.

In the new playthrough video, Playtonic Senior Community Manager Steve James sits down with Game Director Gavin Price, and goes through the changes that have been made to this new remastered version of the game.

As provided by Playtonic, here is a quick break down of what changes can be expected:

Coinelius' coins' new colour — Coinelius, the helpful piggy bank and new character edition to Yooka-Replaylee has already undergone a change with his beautiful platinum coins having stolen the golden hues of the Quill because...

Level-specific Quills — Having given up their golden coat to Coinelius' coins, Quills now come in a variety of colours as they become specific to the level the player is currently in. Why is this? Because our crafty salesman Trowzer has gotten pickier over the years.

Trowzer's new wares — The role of Trowzer is fundamentally changing in Yooka-Replaylee with a whole new set of wares to sell. What these wares are we are not ready to reveal quite yet.

All moves from the beginning — In one of the bigger changes to the game, and why the role of our beloved salesman has changed, is that players will have access to the full arsenal of Yooka and Laylee's moves from the start of the game.

New Pagie pieces collectible — A new collectible has joined the roster in the form of Pagie pieces. Collecting these will unlock additional bonuses.

Levels available in their "expanded" stage from the start — In another change to the original Yooka-Laylee, levels will now be available in their entirety from the very start.
