You didn't answer. Why is it okay for people to say positive things about what has been shown, but not negative things. Come on.

There's plenty of people here saying they are very disappointed in the lack of the promised multiplayer, but no one has been more vocal(or vicious) than you. Take a look at your postings in the last few pages, it's like you're on some triple-shot of caffeine.

Other people are defending and attacking SK/TH and that's fine, but at this point I don't think anyone has matched your intensity this morning.

 

[urk]

Nothing's wrong with you wanting to hope that it'll be good. That doesn't mean other people have to right? Are you implying everyone SHOULD hope that it's good just because you're interested in it?

Nope, I'm saying the opposite. Hoping for it to fail miserably and trashing the developer for a troubled development cycle seems a bit, I don't know, sad.

I personally think the graphics of MGS4 look like poo but I'm not about to attack the competence of Kojima and his team.

This. But something tells me this kind of behavior wouldn't be tolerated in an MGS thread.

Man that sounds like everything I dreamed of while playing the first game. Fricken Awesome.

 

[strikeselect]

just saw the banjo trailer and disappointment would be an understatement.

WTF IS THIS VEHICLE SHIT DOING IN MY BANJO RARE

IT'S FLUDD ALL OVER AGAIN, FUCK THESE GIMMICKS

 

[golem]

disappointed at the removal of 4 player coop... diablo clones need that at a minimum

but.. banjo looks awesome! the impressions from the press have been really positive as well, cant wait to give it a spin

 

[WrikaWrek]

Again, not sure if it' new or not. 60 seconds NG2 trailer added, very good quality for once.

Damn that sounds like Matthew fox. I kept thinking about lost.

Because it automatically makes you a troll.

 

[Not a Jellyfish]

Major disappointment for Too Human removing 4-player co-op because that was my main point of interest.

What you have to be kididng me please tell me there is still 2 player co-op over live pleeeeease

 

[Naeblish]

What I find more surprising about Too Human is that so many remember it had 4-Player COOP. Are you dudes for real, thats the major thing some of you were looking forward to?

I have not once finished diablo 2 on single player. I have played probably 500+ hours multiplayer. I guess that counts for most people who have played it. That should say enough.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

OMG guys. :lol

You really think I was serious?

By the way thx BruceLeeRoy

Ha no problem man I have seen you long enough to know when your just having some fun.

 

[Ariexv]

But I think as far as graphics go the 360 as reach is peak.......

People have been saying that since Gears 1.... yet Gears 2 is set to be the best looking game out when it releases....

Banjo looks freaking awesome

Too human's 4 player co-op being removed and no split screen is kinda disappointing, but I was mainly planning on playing it locally w/ only 2 people anyways.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

You didn't need to use huge capslock and bold here. All I said was I don't like the video but will still play the final product to see if I like it. Jesus. Touchy people in this thread.

Silly me for forgetting what the developers told me over lunch yesterday as well.

I wasn't using it slap you on the head, more just to make sure everyone saw it in this image heavy thread. It's an important thing to note as so many people are flipping out about the new direction.

I apologize if it came off the wrong way.

 

[twinturbo2]

:lol @ Mario in the Banjo trailer.

I missed that. Where was he?

 

[besiktas1]

so awesome...

 

[NeXuSDK]

NeXuSDK: The Banjo debut trailer reveals the game(which is uner development) has lots of framerate problem,or at least now.

Did you find any stutter of the game in your demoplay?

Admittedly, I'm not the best at spotting smaller framerate issues, as it doesn't really bother my eye (they really have to be noticeable for me to pay any attention to it), so the answer is overall no. Smaller problems here and there, but nothing out of the ordinary for a game many months away...

 

[strikeselect]

so awesome...

Nintendo should sue

 

[Nolan.]

The problem with Too Human and SK is having Denis as it's spokesperson I think. It sounds bad but a lot of people are out for him and as soon as he makes the wrong steps it's going to have consequences. I really don't think the 4 player co-op is a bg deal (mainly because I was only ever interested in the story and local co-op). Though I don't really have sympathy because when you go around saying stuff like ''when my game comes out you'll be sorry'', you have to realise people will be watching closely. Plus you just simply shouldn't make too much big talk because it will always run the risk of spoiling people's opinion of your game and therefore treatment of.

 

[duckroll]

Saying that a game looks bad is much different than saying that SK has been a major clusterfu*# for the past 10 years.

I personally think the graphics of MGS4 look like poo but I'm not about to attack the competence of Kojima and his team. I think there is a distinct difference.

Are you sure you want to go there? Are you sure?

 

[jetpacks was yes]

Banjo looks terrific. Awesome.

Some of those Fable screens have me worried though, as it looks like there are some on-rails areas like the first game. Anyone know if they're doing the same thing as before?

 

[Ramenman]

I couldn't disagree more. What I saw looked innovative, interesting and fun - Rare is fucking back on form.

BBU-BUT IF ITS NOT BANJO 64 W/ HD GRAPHICS IT MEANS MS KILLED RARE RITE??


Fucking props to them for this having the guts to try a total rebirth on a game so much people awaits. I love devs who have guts.



Also from the trailer : OMG at chopping Mario's head off.

 

[TheOddOne]

Nintendo should sue

knowing them they will :lol :lol

 

[Meier]

UGH, same size garden in VP = sucky! Everything else sounds awesome though. Can't wait.

Very excited about Fable. I'm thinking the game isnt truly that much larger than Fable 1 though. No interest in Banjo as a racing game... wait, it isn't a racing game in SP, just uses vehicles? More interested than before at least.

 

[rockman zx]

Again, not sure if it' new or not. 60 seconds NG2 trailer added, very good quality for once.
http://www.gamersyde.com/news_6469_en.html

That´s the trailer Microsoft uploaded this morning in Xbox Live.

 

[f@luS]

Yea, exactly what they said about Gears 1. Peaked out alright, right. What a stealth troll bro. :lol

do you know who you are currently quotting? youre so on the def....incredible.
Gear 2 looks amazing but it is still close to gear 1 , on steroyd for everythin (which IS impressive) . But will we ever see better lookin game on 360? hmmm. Its already not normal imho that the best lookin game isnt a 1st party one.....where are thou microsoft?


Just saw the banjo video on gamersyde....WTF? is the video badly encoded? (tearing + framerate) . And wtf @ the gameplay? hmmmm



fable 2 <3<3<3

 

[Grecco]

What I find more surprising about Too Human is that so many remember it had 4-Player COOP. Are you dudes for real, thats the major thing some of you were looking forward to?

A PSO clone with 4 different classes. Yeah why wouldnt we want 4 player co op.

 

[soldat7]

Are you sure you want to go there? Are you sure?

I'm buying a PS3 for the d@mn game so doesn't that give me a pass?

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

HAHA wow. Credibility gone.......

 

[Community Forum]

So can I go to work now, or are there still upcoming announcements of LIPS, a waggle controller, and Ninja Blade?

 

[killakiz]

Rare is just starting, again. People bitch about games not being innovative enough and as soon as one tries to be people start to cry. Can't wait to play this game in November.

If they want to innovate do it with a new IP, why go fuck up something thats was good.

 

[Brashnir]

Are you sure you want to go there? Are you sure?

try decaf man.

seriously.

 

[FrankT]

do you know who you are currently quotting? youre so on the def....incredible.

fable 2 <3<3<3

You need read what I said X2. Incredible alright. Kthanksbuy

 

[SPEA]

All the people talking about Local Co-Op in Too Human. That has NEVER been in the game from the start. So you shouldn't be disappointed because it was never a feature in the game.

The lack of 4 player Co-op does kinda suck though.

 

[MMaRsu]

People have been saying that since Gears 1.... yet Gears 2 is set to be the best looking game out when it releases....

Banjo looks freaking awesome

Too human's 4 player co-op being removed and no split screen is kinda disappointing, but I was mainly planning on playing it locally w/ only 2 people anyways.

What? Gears2 is hardly the best looking game this gen, I mean the explosions I saw in that 2min trailer looked like shit imo.

The game looks good yes, scale looks good, but I wasn't that impressed by it honestly. Give me mirror's Edge over GoW2 any day.

 

[TheGrayGhost]

I'm not seeing it. Mario games have always been several levels above other platformers, which I guess is why most platformers nowadays have different concepts and design ideas to separate them.

Perhaps you're right, but these days, if you want to play a pure platform game at all, the house that Mario built is you're only option.

Rare is just starting, again. People bitch about games not being innovative enough and as soon as one tries to be people start to cry. Can't wait to play this game in November.

Nah, I think it's more diversionary than innovative.

 

[DuckRacer]

You guys should read the Wired preview. It's really good and makes the vehicle creation sound really cool.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

The Rare hate is quite astonishing, even for the standards set by NeoGAF.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Nintendo should sue

Kind of like how Nintendo sued for the Mario jokes in Banjo-Tooie?

Really folks you should all go back and play Banjo-Kazooie and realize just how poorly it has aged. It would take more than next-gen fur-shading and physics to save that relic from the N64 era.

 

[Rocksteady33]

just saw the banjo trailer and disappointment would be an understatement.

WTF IS THIS VEHICLE SHIT DOING IN MY BANJO RARE

IT'S FLUDD ALL OVER AGAIN, FUCK THESE GIMMICKS

110% agreed.

They clearly had to change the formula to fit with the FPS drone demographic on the 360. Why the fuck do I want to use missiles and aircrafts to complete my levels? Once again instead of Microsoft competing against Nintendo, they go straight after Sony and bring this shit to have a Ratchet & Clank like game on their platform.

Oh and I love IGN's quote from their preview, "Banjo still includes some classic platforming." Ooooh I get to walk on a tightrope. Could have sworn I'd been doing that for years in these types of games. The video itself had maybe 10 seconds of actual Banjo and Kazooie on foot, and once again most of it appeared action oriented.

I'm probably overacting but this has always been one of my absolute favorite franchises (hell I even 100% completed Banjo-Pilot) and it's a fucking tragedy to have to see the series abandon its roots in favor of more destruction like gameplay.

 

[Ariexv]

Nintendo should sue

I'm pretty sure I read that the Mario is a vehicle a tester built, not something Rare put into the game.

 

[NeXuSDK]

If they want to innovate do it with a new IP, why go fuck up something thats was good.

Ok, so now it's wrong to try and reinvent series? Something people keep complaining not being done enough :S

 

[Emiru]

UGH, same size garden in VP = sucky! Everything else sounds awesome though. Can't wait.

Very excited about Fable. No interest in Banjo as a racing game.

BANJO IS NOT A RACING GAME!!! Its a platformer with vehicles and Multiplayer racing.

 

[Nolan.]

What? Gears2 is hardly the best looking game this gen, I mean the explosions I saw in that 2min trailer looked like shit imo.

The game looks good yes, scale looks good, but I wasn't that impressed by it honestly. Give me mirror's Edge over GoW2 any day.

Have to agree with this.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

The Rare hat is quite astonishing, even for the standards set by NeoGAF.

It's totally the Itchy & Scratchy focus group.

GTA4: This is the same old shit, we want innovation!
Banjo: What the fuck? What the hell did they do to my favorite game? They shit down my kitten's throat!
Gaming Industry: So you want a realistic down-to-earth show that's completely off the wall and swarming with magic robots?

 

[methodman]

All the people talking about Split Screen Co-Op in Too Human. That has NEVER been in the game from the start. So you shouldn't be disappointed because it was never a feature in the game.

The lack of 4 player Co-op does kinda suck though.

Split screen? Dude this is a dungeon crawler, both characters would be on the same screen; plus it's been a feature for a year plus. I've been looking forward to it since then

 

[strikeselect]

Too Human's moved to my rental list now that they took out 4 player co-op.

when you compare your game to diablo, you better fucking deliver.

 

[pizzapizza64]

Nintendo should sue

If Rare can't argue that Mario's inclusion was an example of user-generated content, then Nintendo probably should do something.

 

[pswii60]

No interest in Banjo as a racing game.

*sigh*

All this arguing now is pointless though. All the hand-on impressions couldn't be any more positive, and if the reviews are good people should end up listening in the end.

1) It isn't a racing game
2) They aren't just vehicles, they're fully customisable contraptions to aid you in your adventure
3) There's traditional platforming too

 

[abacab driver]

:lol @ the people dissapointed with Banjo not being Banjo64 in HD.

 

[marc^o^]

Banjo looks interesting but complicated. It does not quite have the simplicity of a mario game, which could result in it being a nice addition to the x360 library, but not a threat to Nintendo's mass market domination. What do you guys think: do you predict this Banjo will be a big system seller among casuals?

 

[WrikaWrek]

Saying "Amazing graphics", "Best looking game around", or any shit like that is like a Bat sign for certain people to appear.

It never, ever, like ever fails. When someone posts that, i know who and when is going to post.

Let's keep the whole graphics penis size out of here, cmon. GAF can't be just that right? Because that's what Gaf has been as of late.
