Banjo-Kazooie was great. 360 version aged very well.

 

[Incandenza]

It is really amazing just how much better the Banjo games look compared to Mario 64. We tend remember past generations of consoles as having largely homogenous graphical fidelity but the difference is night and day.

This is also the uprezzed 360 version. They're both pretty ugly.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I love Banjo-Kazooie, Tooie (and Nuts and Bolts) but Mario 64 is the best of the bunch.

I'd take Banjo over Sunshine though.

 

[Brashnir]

I had forgotten how fucking boring this game was.

I had forgotten how fucking boring this game was.

Seriously. I'm fucking looking at it, you have to collect notes, skulls, eggs, notes, teletubbies, mushrooms, like seriously?

Edit-Oh can't forget puzzle pieces. Gotta remember those!

 

[Liamc723]

I grew up playing Spyro The Dragon games and looking back on it, I really don't think I could go back and play them.

Crash Bandicoot though, now you're talking. That's the series that's actually good.

 

[Tucah]

this game is no glover, that's for sure

 

[funkystudent]

I havent donated to a kickstarter but if some ex naughty dog people wanted to make Jak and Daxter 1-2 I would donate to that.


But I think a bunch of the ex Jak people are responsible for Sonic Boom Wii U game so maybe its better they dont.

dan just unsold me on yooka-laylee, i think

Dan eats oreos covered in nacho cheese.

yep, croc was my number two, i have fond memories of that. fuck gex.

 

[daydream]

Dan eats oreos covered in nacho cheese.

seems like he was just stating facts when talking about the flatulent direction of special attacks

anyway, i'm eating mole hill cake so i'm not too broken up about it

OMG GOING QUACKERS

 

[Jimmyfenix]

lets have a kickstarter for a new bubsy instead

 

[Tucah]

i rented this game

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I can confirm Speyside was pronounced correctly.

Fun fact: a town in Speyside is called Buckie. All roads lead to caffeinated tonic wine.

 

[Anjin M]

this game is no glover, that's for sure

chat is high, picking gex over glover and croc in the last poll

Considering all of the talk about it, I really want to see Glover.

 

[Zaph]

Omg they've never heard of Speyside.

Ryan would have set em straight.

 

[alr1ght]

They forgot native n64 and PS1 look like absolute shitcakes, especially on an HDTV.

 

[Archaix]

They forgot native n64 and PS1 look like absolute shitcakes, especially on an HDTV.

Yeah, I immediately thought this game looked really good for a licensed N64 game.

Jeff's right about the framerate. That's kind of garbage.

 

[Incandenza]

This game looks like all the video is being sent through a VHS tape.

 

[daydream]

i played a LOT of going quackers on pc, it was pretty fun

the ps2 version is really different (and not as good), played that some years later

i wonder which platforms got which version

 

[Myggen]

I seem to remember playing this game and absolutely hating it.

 

[Twin Tails]

Cinematic Frame Rate

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Funny how more aliasing is acceptable when it's Nintendo vs Sony.

Z-buffering for life!

 

[Zocano]

Banjo Kazooie was better than Mario 64.

There I SAID IT. THE TRUTH.

HA.

Spoiler

I still like Crash Bandicoot 2 more than either of those.

 

[daydream]

eh it's like crash with less creative level design

though i get that a lot of people hate crash for some reason

 

[Zocano]

Nobody's perfect.

 

[Tucah]

i forgot tonic trouble aka bootleg rayman existed

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, I was never a big fan of Crash either. So that might be part of the reason.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Crash is the new Kid Icarus. A series that was never good that everyone wants brought back.

Maybe Sony can find their own Sakurai to 'vitilise' Crash

Crash was in this commercial

[mnz]

talking about ukulele, I can't believe the fanfare it's getting. It's like....IMO it's not gonna be that great. There's a reason why Banjo Kazooie wasn't made into an annual franchise or anything. It's being waaaay over hyped.

It's funny how they just talked about Kickstarter on the Bombcast and said they needed more than "hey I made this thing in the past, I want to make another one" to mobilize the masses. And now here we are.

Yup. It's exploiting childhood memories. Like Mega Number 9.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Mighty Number 9. See, it's totally different.

They didn't say that as a rule that you'll never see a game like that blow up again, but more that they believed people were in general becoming more sceptical about that kind of thing. This thing was always gonna be pretty big because of how much nostalgia people have for Rare and these guy's proven track record, but I didn't think it was gonna be this big.

I think that commercial is a large part of why I hated Crash Bandicoot.

That and the fact that it looked so awful. So, so awful.

It actually plays better than I gave it credit for back then, but Crash is as ugly as it ever was.

How's life in the insane asylum?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Mighty Number 9. See, it's totally different.

Oh, right. Good thing that the main character isn't Mega Man. I think they hired Roll as the sister though.

Why must you turn this into a thread of lies.

 

[Zocano]

How's life in the insane asylum?

Enjoyable. I get to play actual good games.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

#TeamChunks

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Honestly one of complaints about MN9 I've heard from at least one backer is that it's very much not classic Mega Man in terms of gameplay.

 

[Myggen]

Enjoyable. I get to play actual good games.

At least you can live life in sub 20 fps like all your favourite games!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah the 'feel' of Mighty No. 9 just isn't right. The artstyle I can take or leave but the beta wasn't satisfying to play at all.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Oh, right. Good thing that the main character isn't Mega Man. I think they hired Roll as the sister though.

I was so disappointed when people voted for the Roll doppelganger for the design of Call. There were far more interesting choices.
