I can think of very few jiggys in B-K or B-T that you could just skip and then breeze through later on with better abilities. The majority of them had very specific solutions, and the earlier levels didn't often incorporate the features needed to use your better moves anyway.Steroyd said:

I think the best part now is how littered the game is going to be with references to this very argument.
"You'll wonder if you were even in a platformer, Banjo! BWAHAHAHAHA!!"

Why is the title "Banjo-Threeie Debut Trailer"? Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts isn't only the superior, far less obnoxious title, but it's also official.

I'm not completely in agreement with you as I think this game looks like a helluva lot of fun, though granted I'm not a huge BK fan in the first place, but why does it seem like people are trying to attack your views by seemingly demeaning Mario Galaxy?
Are we in the Mario Galaxy backlash period already?

I was talking about this -
encountering the platform, searching for something to make your vehicle fly, building the vehicle and finally doing this:
- and how I consider being a bit creative more exciting then to ask bottles to teach me how to use red feathers. Personal preferences you know?
I just saw a trailer for this, and certain parts look like Twisted Metal...on top of the gummi ship-like ship builder from Kingdom Hearts, I'd say we got Twisted Banjo Metal Kingdom on our hands. Rejoice, those who secretly wish for bizarre hybrids. Your time has come.

Agenticebeezy (get the name right) has totally hit the nail on the head in this thread.
He's summed everything up perfectly and that should really end the nervousness about this game. I think Rare is doing a fantastic job with the direction they are taking this game in.
If there are going to be complaints, complain about not liking banjo's design or feeling you wanted him to look more next gen or complain about not having a preference for the art or you have concerns and would like to see more before you get too hyped, but there can be no doubt that the game itself looks pretty damn promising from a gameplay perspective.
Oh Rare is most definitely back. I didn't know that level with the quilts for grass and the fake clouds was an actual game level. I thought it was just some main hub that lead to the other worlds in the game! They are actually taking risks with their level design and I love that!

No, I'm saying it's bad that it didn't have any visible effect on the glider. It made sense when we saw Banjo driving through a fence because the car looked significantly stronger, whereas this was lighter but had no problem colliding straight into a tree then moving back up cleanly. It doesn't seem right.

I don't mean this as an insult in anyway (because if I did, I would just be insulting myself), but judging from Crushed's mosts in many threads, I would guess that he loved his N64.

The fence-destroying is fun too but I don't know if that was a reason to implement 'real-time' physics. And the glider looked like it was tough to control or someone wasn't really trying.tak said:
But I'm nitpicking. I hope they have more ambitious uses in mind.

Yeah except for you know, of like the total of 5 minutes of video, only a fraction of that is shown of Banjo on - oh wait I just saw your title... why bother?

Pretty much. I'm getting too worked up over a fucking franchise I assumed was dead.
I'll just place this game in my hopper to be picked up later this year.

Looks like the "trees" are made from strapped up planks of wood and inflated fabric balloons so hitting it wouldn't do much damage to anything really.

HD platforming
Even though no one in this thread argued you couldn't walk on foot. The problems were: lack of on-foot focus, lack of on-foot abilities.
Whatever. Building stuff will be fun still.

If this game was JFG2, I would be one of the people bitching about what Rare has done.
I thought Banjo Kazooie was great and Tooie...not so much, so I have no problem with them going in this direction. I think Blast Corps and this type of game would have been the best if it they really needed to dig into their old game bin.
BenjaminBirdie said:
Because Banjo Kazooie was never about vehicles. It was never about open ended gameplay. I get that this type of game appeals to people, that's fine. GTA appeals to people, I'm not all about that, FPS's appeal to people, I'm not into those either. My favorite genre is platformers. LINEAR platformers, at that. BK is in my top 5 favorite games of all time. I just wish they had made this a new IP, and given Banjo fans a new, true Banjo experience.
YOU CANNOT GET THAT EGG IN THE ACTUAL GAME, ONLY IN AN EMULATOR.RiskyChris said:
It was part of the mystery of the games. EVERY Banjo fan knew about it because at the very end of the game, Mumbo showed you a video of Shark Food Island raised up mysteriously on Treasure Trove Cove, and then showed off that jumping part and the egg, and told you that Banjo-Tooie would reveal the secret.

Really have to give huge Kudos to Rare.
Only genuinely new and fresh ideas (beyond the fact that its for only 1 particular system) can garner such love/acceptance and such hate/resistance at the same time.
Heres hoping they keep it going with future titles.

The game looks ok, but from the footage shown, some areas do look hideous.
I just played an hour of the original to refresh my memory, and as some have said, platforming challenges are scarce and generally uninspired. So what does that mean? Well, for one, gamers expecting a game to rival SMG, as so many here seem to desire, will be disappointed. Just mellow out.

OMG Breaking News: New Kid Icarus to feature a helicopter. CUSTOMIZABLE!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, it hurts my eyes. That city is an abomination. Brown colours, wtf? And the buildings are so realistic. The art direction in this game is all over the place.

You could go into that room and climb those very steps. I'm using that as an example, that's not the only one in the game, but I haven't played it in like 8 years, so forgive me if that's the only one that stands out.Crushed said:

After seeing the video posted on Kotaku, I think I'm fine with the game. As I said earlier, I think the vehicles look like a lot of fun to play around with, and now that I see what looks like will be a good amount of exploration on foot and hearing some better music, I'm feeling much better about this game.

Gotta get quicker with hitting that quote button.
Ok heres a thought. IF the xbox 360 remote was real wouldn't it be theasable to think that the wand in Kazooie's hand could be controlled by the remote...
So you point at what you want to pick up, pull the trigger to grasp it, then wave what you have around, release to thow...
I'm guessing MS still has stuff up it's sleeve for e3... I can't wait!

oh, and Halo Wars not shown because that'll be the showcase game for the remote at e3.[/wildspeclation]
