Look at this Tweet from Grant Kirkhope (The composer of the music in Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, DK64 and loads of others and soon to be Yooka-Laylee)
I think it's interesting that he was saying that games like Yooka-Laylee should be made, but everyone was telling him they shouldn't. Obviously 3D platformers are something people want, otherwise Yooka-Laylee wouldn't have hit £1.5M in it's Kickstarter (There is still 35 days to go at the time of writing this as well...) Maybe it's the nostalgia of Banjo Kazooie that's making some people excited for this, but for me personally, it's nice to something that hasn't been done for a while.
I think Naitre is right, Big companies don't want to take a risk
The reason I feel like gaming has become stale is FPS games are getting made every year *cough* CoD *cough* . I hear people complain about CoD being washed up, but yet they still by the next version when it comes out, and the version after that. And because sales of games like this are so high, it seems to overshadow other games (at least in my opinion)
