Looks so good, I wish them success and will be buying this.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

Stunning

 

[blacksark]

16 years since banjo tooie and that's the time I have been waiting for this. Couldn't be happier.

 

[FloweryMarston]

It seems familiar.

I believe there's some Banjo Kazooie official art with basically the exact same scene going on, but I can't quite find it.

 

[MomoQca]

Anyone else hoping for a Perfect Dark copy from Playtonic Games? I'd buy that shit a million times if announced.

This?

 

[Hakai]

Yep! I'm happy I backed this one!

 

[DOWN]

Is this a Banjo-Kazooie ripoff?

 

[bomblord1]

Is this a Banjo-Kazooie ripoff?

Can't be a ripoff if it's made by the same guys.

I want a Diddy Kong Racing clone first please

 

[PIMPBYBLUD]

Is this a Banjo-Kazooie ripoff?

Not really it's being made by Former Rare employees, so unless their ripping off their own work...

 

[Caayn]

Holy jiggies, this game looks mighty good.

 

[DOWN]

Can't be a ripoff if it's made by the same guys.

So it's more like a way to keep the spirit of their old characters without having the license?

EDIT: Beaten

I don't think that underwater shot is an actual screenshot.... maybe it is, but I thought it was just a render like this:

 

[Zalman]

I noticed how similar these two pictures are. Pretty neat.

 

[w00tkins]

moisturise me

 

[Hot Coldman]

It's an obvious throwback to that, but compared to their actual render at the top of the OP, it looks very much in-game to me.

 

[AlexMeloche]

So happy I backed this.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Gods damn this looks awesome! Never doubted it for a minute, but this just makes me want it more than ever!

 

[Samemind]

I noticed how similar these two pictures are. Pretty neat.

Was banjo always carrying a jinjo on that boxart? I never noticed before.

 

[Superfrog]

Full res:

Edit: Hotlinking fail, rehosted.

 

[boxter432]

Banjo KaGalaxy World

 

[Novel Mike]

GIVE ME THAT TOYBOY DEMO! I so want to make videos for my youtube channel for that! I seriously can't wait for this game, I'm really hoping they put out a trailer for E3, just listening to some of the music for this game gets me excited.

 

[Raxus]

Damn, beaten.

 

[kulapik]

New logo:

 

[Oneself]

Gru, is that you?

That, and creating a game in a genre that has been more or less dead for 10~15 years.

 

[MrChowderClams]

The main antagonist reminds me of these terrible creatures from Donkey Kong Country.

So many deaths because of accidentally jumping onto these evil bees.

oh god not the bees D:

 

[Diffense]

Those screenshots are much prettier than I expected. I'm really hyped for this since the Banjo games were among my favorite for the N64. Playtonic has me grinning with every update.

 

[Zalman]

I'm gonna be honest here. You just blew my mind.

 

[Mr Git]

New logo:

Double hyphens like BK <3

 

[Hot Coldman]

I think it's worth mentioning how utterly appropriate it is that Playtonic's first game stars a CEO as the villain...

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Looks really good. Can't wait to see more.

 

[Syril]

Man, I was never even into Banjo-Kazooie and I can't wait for this.

 

[Rarius]

Wow that swimming screen looks exactly like some renders that were touted as possibly being for BK3 back in the early, early 00's

 

[DooMAGE]

This game is so Nintendo

 

[Diffense]

I just noticed that 1) Captial B is a Bee and 2) They actually revealed a new character in the first render in the OP (the octopus, Dr. Puzz, mentioned in the text).

 

[Caayn]

Was banjo always carrying a jinjo on that boxart? I never noticed before.

He's even carrying Jinjo on the cartridge.

 

[Silvawuff]

Ohmigosh, this game looks so gorgeous! Can't wait to play it! Way to go, Playtonic!

 

[AtomicShroom]

Oh and here's an early sample of the ice world music (WIP of course): https://soundcloud.com/playtonic/glacier-world-working-title-work-in-progress

Damn I thought this was gonna be new music. This is 11 months old! 11 months!!!! How dare you!!

Named Capital B

Who takes over a small business of creators

 

[Aranjah]

Hype levels rising, this is awesome. So glad they finally broke their silence again, I was getting really antsy for some new info. >.<

 

[Kinsei]

Damn I thought this was gonna be new music. This is 11 months old! 11 months!!!! How dare you!!

Sorry! I just figured there were people in the thread who might not have heard it before.

 

[Mariolee]

It looks like everything I ever wanted from this project. Oh my goodness.

 

[TreIII]

Beautiful.

And certainly glad to see that classic Rare humor seems to endure.

 

[Aldric]

Looks fantastic. Can't wait to see videos now, one of my most anticipated games for E3.

 

[Zomba13]

Was banjo always carrying a jinjo on that boxart? I never noticed before.

The one thing I never got as a kid was that the Jinjo looked sad. Like, Banjo is saving you! Why aren't you happy?

 

[SNURB]

Could be my eyes but the Yooka box art STRONGLY reminds me of Croc Legend of the Gobbos:

In fact, I mistook Croc as a Rare game at first. The art style resembles Banjo a bit.

No complaints though. I'm loving everything about it. Wished I contributed to the KS.

 

[Zelias]

Damn, this looks amazing. Didn't back, but Day One for sure.

 

[Neiteio]

Was banjo always carrying a jinjo on that boxart? I never noticed before.

Yep. It's one of my favorite box arts ever, and it's always been there.
