Banjo-Threeie Debut Trailer!

I don't like the art style. And the music is amazingly bad. What kind of gamer are they trying to target with that music and art style? It's such a shame because they seem to be trying to build in a lot of sophistication via the buildable vehicles. But at the same time they are trying to market it as a baby game!

This confict of design and marketing is going force this game into the same damn niche Viva Pinata fell into.

Hay guise, is Banjo better than Gran Turismo? How about MGS4? I wan't detailed comparisons ASAP, it's important. I believe in you.


Fixed. Never forget that in a game of chance you should only play your best cards and hope that your hidden weaknesses remain hidden.

I don't think Crushed is happy about his banning :lol

Oh shi-!

Have there been any more videos in the last 12 hours or so?

Well seeing as it's a racing game, I'd say Gran Turismo is the best game to compare it with. Although I don't think the car models are as good, it's not 60fps, it doesn't have lounge music in the menus, Top Gear videos and there's no manufacturer licensing either. Rare should just give up. What a waste of $365m. They'll never compete with Polyphony.

Or wait, is it Twisted Metal we should be comparing it with? Or Gummi Bears construction?

We should be comparing it to Mario Kart Double dash, obviously Mario Kart is ahead when it comes to powerups I mean lighting that sminiturises everything that you can squish them, can't be outdone I'm afraid.

My biggest fear of BK3 is that this emphasis on bigger environments to suit the vehicles will dilute what I loved from the first one too much, i.e the levels, I really liked how the whole level centered around a Snowman, or a Pyramid or a Submarine, Rare boasting about bigger environments makes me. :(
 
Btw, if you want to get some answers from Gregg Mayles, a friend of mine is gonna have the chance to be part of an interview with him today so let me know and i´ll give them to him

Are they thinking about DLC that includes new single player areas, challenges, and unique parts?

Can you ask him if Kazooie is going to be able to get out of the backpack and walk around to carry Banjo? Like in the old games, you used her to go faster or walk up steep slopes. I really hope that remains at least.

I got some questions for rare.

1. WHEN THE FUCK IS KI3 COMING YOU DIPSHITS!?!?
2. Is there any plans to bring your old n64 games to xbla?
3. After we finished the Banjo game can we still run around in the towns?
4. I see that not all of Kazooies moves are gone, can we gradually learn them back in the game?
5. You guys made a sequel to VP but no Kameo? WTF?
6. Exactly how many dev teams does Rare have, is it just one per barn?
7. Do have any games planned for next yeard, or do we have to wait another two years?


Btw, you dont have to use my exact wording.

I´ll just be a messenger, i´ll get all your questions and pass them to him.

From what he has told, the interview is gonna be shared with some other webs/media so they´ll have even more limited time and i suppose he will choose what to ask in the end.

Halo 3, GTAIV, NG2, and GoW2 (and the other GoW2) are all criticized for being TOO SIMILAR to their past iterations.

BK:N&B comes along making some radical and possibly innovative changes and people cry.

There is no way to win when it comes to gamers on internet forums. They will complain about anything and everything. Hell, they will even complain about getting free stuff sometimes.
 
i was expecting a platformer and instead i get a lego racers ripoff... not sure if want. right now it doesnt look so hot imo.
 
The flying levels almost have a Toy commander look to them. Anyhoo, I would rather just find vehicles, cooler and cooler ones, perhaps unlock them as rewards than put them together in what appears to be some cheap, clunky manner (omg I found a magic block, let me slap something together). Then perhaps they would look real cool...the vehicles shown so far look pretty bad asthetically.
 
Not for much longer.

The quota of utterly retarded people has long since been met, just a few stragglers left.

They are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

Do we even have to respond to these anymore? I've been asleep for a while.
Sure.

Personally, I'm disappointed in Rare. This game is such a Heavenly Sword ripoff, it's not even funny. That, and Gears called, it wants it's art style back.

Yeah, that Kotaku video is like "Harmonix called, they want their drum peripheral back."

Yes, she can manipulate things with her magic device. :S
She can also preform attacks.

Jesus Christ people seriously. Do I need to write up a FAQ and make a short animation to help people out with this game? I'll just do what MS should have done to begin with. :lol

Everything, it would seem.

I think the MS Paint sketch from Rare has actually proved useful for some people, seriously.

I blame this thread theres som many weird comments I forgot about sarcasm.




Another question why is kazooie still in the back pack.?

man, awesome call. you are totally right! if they manage to capture any tiny part of what made toy commander great, we'll have a real gem on our hands where those vehicle missions are concerned.
