Absolutely. Hell, I've logged hundreds of hours into BK. I've never once said this is going to be a bad game, or said it's at a predisposition to even be less enjoyable by other people. All I've said is that I'm not into the new direction. And I get flamed because evidently it's not a new direction. Well, it sure as hell isn't more of the same.

I agree. It doesn't look any different from old school 3D Mario or Banjo, but given the new emphasis on apparent physics with the world objects and the vehicle component behavior, it would be nice to see Banjo fine tuned to adhere to the new and more physics-bound world he lives in. Needs more heft and sense of weight for sure.kylej said:

Not impressed in the least. I would have actually considered buying it if Rare would have made a true sequel to the N64 titles. Rare is deader than dead. Viva Pinata is the only game that has really impressed me and they continue to fuck up their original IPs. Nintendo did the right thing by letting them go and Microsoft overpaid by a ton.

Also, I didn't say it needed to be more of the same. I said I would have been happy with more of the same. There's a reason sequels exist. I can't honestly believe Banjo fans would have been disappointed with more of the same. Better graphics, some gameplay changes, new levels, more charm, more humor. I mean it's been 8 years, the game would've been different. I find it hard to believe someone would still be a Banjo fan, anticipating the second sequel, just to see that it's remaining true to its roots and say "YAWN, more of the same."
Especially when we rarely get solid entries in the platform genre. I understand new people being interested in the game, though. Lots of people love the user-created/customizable/open type of design. And there's no reason to think the charm and humor won't still be there. A new system, a new target audience...and I doubt there are many people out there like me who were planning on buying a 360 for this game.
For some God forsaken reason I read the last 8 or whatever pages it's been since I left this thread, and I have nothing to add to everyones bickering. Having read it all though, I feel like I have to say something to justify all that wasted time.
God damn is this game gonna be BAAAAAAAAALLIN'!
Oh, and people need to realize that vehicular platforming is extremely possible, and has been used from early 2d games (the famous Rare Battletoads level!) to recent levels (Jak games).

From the size of the areas we've seen so far, I think without vehicles it'd take Banjo two hours to get from one side to the other.

I can't say I would have been disappointed with more of the same but after seeing this I'm happy they're not going for more of the same.Nicktals said:

Yeah, that was a little overreacting. What I really wanted to say about what I've saw of this Banjo 3 until now is that if RARE wants to make a new IP with these new gameplay elements I'm 100% cheering behind them. I would approve that, I'd applause that. Because if they work hard on it, it could be fun, like "really fun", and that's why all people here play videogames: they are fun.
Why use the Banjo IP then?. If in RARE are using it for nostalgic value, trying to catch the classic Banjo franchise lovers, they are doing it WRONG. This game barely resembles those on N64 IMO, in its gameplay development at least. That's the reason I don't understand what are they trying to do. If they want to make a game about vehicles and customization and such things it's okay, but create a new IP: thinking about it, maybe it would be better for them not having to use Mumbo or other Banjo related things, that doesn't match with the new gameplay or style or whatever at all.

SM64 was alright, SMS sucked, while SMG was very good. Not the same thing at all.

Fixed.
Are there Rare virals here?
jarosh said:here, shot from the trailer for font whores:
no comic sans. digital strip is better, not perfect but definitely better.
the gameplay screenshots still show comic sans. of course i don't know which one's the more recent version.
Does anyone know if Banjo can level up now?

Never mind, I cannot argue against incompetence.
To me, it sounds like building vehicles is an integral part of the game, but that it would also break up the flow of the game. Some vehicles won't work if you don't make them right. That sounds awful for a platformer, to be honest. Just watching the building parts is boring.
If you can just use premade vehicles the entire game, it might not be so bad. But BK and BT had awesome platforming mechanics and I don't see any of that going on in any of the footage, let alone platforms...
It will probably be an enjoyable... whatever. But definitely a strange experience that isn't very befitting of the license. Also very strange graphics that may be technically impressive but aren't very artistically pleasing. Why is Banjo and a couple characters so angular, but nothing else? It's like a mishmash of totally different styles. And it doesn't work for me, but I expect that from Rare. Just not this badly.

So let me get this straight, for a game to be defined as a platformer it must contain a series of floating platforms that the character can jump on in a linear fashion?
Can someone clarify that this is indeed not 1990?
He rubs people the wrong way sometimes, he has a good heart though.

No clue, he was defending this game no worse then the people attacking it, yet he is the one to get banned. *shrugs*chris0701 said:
