Ha. A final boss quiz. Yes please.

I mean I grew up with Banjo Kazooie and the Super Mario games


but....after a while it becomes tedious, the collectathon shit became super boring.

Eh, yeah but if you're more into the exploration and the mechanics it can distract you from the tediousness of actually beating the game. Have the time when I was younger it was just found screwing around with exploring the worlds and just killing enemies, the collector items were just the tickets you needed to move to the next playground.

Microsoft basically neutered Rare. But I think that's putting it kindly. These kinds of games are all over the place on Nintendo consoles, just not as much on others. But happy they broke away and using their legit talents to make this game independently.

They're not even on Nintendo though. Sure they have 2D platformers, but 3D adventure platformers like this or things like Banjo, Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy they do not have.

Mario 3D World is just too simple. It's 2D gameplay (and the levels are even timed like the 2D Mario games) on a small 3D plane. Still hanging for the big 3D Mario game on Wii U.

Looking forward to seeing what the new Ratchet & Clank game on PS4 is though, and hopefully the rumours that Rare is getting ready to unleash Banjo and Kazooie for another adventure is true.

I'm grinning from ear to fucking ear right now

Ha. A final boss quiz. Yes please.

Speedrunners will be so mad

 

[The Real Abed]

The next goal is basically a Mumbo-Jumbo mechanic and character. This game is going to reach a million easily.

Speedrunners will be so mad

Not if they can perfect the glitch properly. I was so amazed when I saw that happen at AGDQ.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

Can the final stretch goal be stop 'n' swap?

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

The next goal is basically a Mumbo-Jumbo mechanic and character. This game is going to reach a million easily.

all stretch goals will be funded on the first day


What the hell will they do with the remaining 45?

 

[CreeperBlocks]

HURRAY!

 

[Jetku]

I hope that they don't go nuts with the hype and hastily introduce new stretch goals. They should spend a few days and really think on it.

Hey guys - if I sign up for kickstarter to throw money at this, will I still be able to pay with an American debit card? Will it automatically convert it from dollars to euros for me?

Also, for the "Special Thanks in the credits" tier - do you actually get your name in the credits, or is it just a general "Thanks to our backers!" message?

 

[threelights]

Are these guys going to get to 1 million today?

This is increasing extremely fast.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Funded already? LOL

Yes and Yes

two times over lol.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Yeah, there definitely isn't a market for these kinds of games anymore.

Spoiler

/s

The AAA industry is clueless. They want to play it safe and keep doing the same type of games.

Yes you can use an American debit card. Kickstarter will take care of the conversion / charge

 

[Storm Kyleis]

I can't contain my hype.

Already pledged 42€ for the Digital Deluxe package.

 

[reKon]

NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN

 

[Mango The Magician]

I wonder who signed up to voice a character. Seems like it'd be a amazing learning experience, but ain't worth $5000.

 

[hydruxo]

Hahaha I love this

 

[Tom_Cody]

It's already on Wii U.

My bad. I thought that was a stretch goal.

 

[R0ckman]

Do publishers actually take note of this stuff or do they just go "Lol, who cares? We got our yearly game franchise/genre to fall back on".

 

[chadskin]

The wait until October 2016 is going to be horrible.

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Could this be the most funded video game in Kickstarter history? Is this becoming quite possible?

Doesnt Star Citizen stand high at like almost 80 million?

 

[Zalman]

Hahaha I love this

I love his passion, and I love being a part of all this.

Yes and yes. I did it.

I don't know about the special thanks thingie.

 

[ffdgh]

Welp...1/1.5 million may happen in less than a week at this rate

Hahaha I love this

Haha this enthusiasm.

 

[TheSlySoul]

I threw in 80 GBP into it personally.
I am guessing since they said you get the lower tier as well that means you get a physical PC copy + a digital copy of your choosing.

 

[Storm Kyleis]

So... who else is going to vote Yooka & Laylee for the Smash Ballot?

[Kriken]

Don't worry, it'll be released closer to October 2017

 

[-MD-]

Hahaha I love this

Makes me angry how fucked up this industry is.

Today is a good day though.

 

[Delusibeta]

Give me vita or give me death!

edit: and 3ds of course

They are kinda hamstrung with Unity for Vita being a complete pile of ass (e.g. only uses one core of the CPU, for example). Can see them trying out Unity for New 3DS, though.

 

[CrisKre]

Hahaha I love this

Ohhhhhh, Microsoft got TOLD!

 

[Salty Hippo]

Grant Kirkhope ‏@grantkirkhope 1m1 minute ago

All those years telling people that this kind of game was wanted and being told that I was wrong ...... fuck'em all!

"BUTBUTBUT.... RARE HAS ALWAYS HAD FREEDOM UNDER MICROSOFT"

 

[Eila]

Stretch goals are kind of poor, barely expands the game.

 

[Obliterator]

Hahaha I love this

Amazing. Also is this a reference to Microsoft?

 

[Sectorseven]

Do publishers actually take note of this stuff or do they just go "Lol, who cares? We got our yearly game franchise/genre to fall back on".

500K (or whatever this ends at) is a pittance compared to the scale they're used to working at. It'd be like asking why Warner Bros doesn't take note of indie films.

 

[chadskin]

Don't worry, it'll be released closer to October 2017

You're a terrible person. But I fear you may be right.
Haven't seen a single Kickstarter project actually ship on time.

 

[Mango The Magician]

I actually do want to back this, but only if I have the money to spare, hopefully I'm in a better position before june. Would love to see my name in the special thanks, and to play the demo.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Hahaha I love this

The AAA industry is clueless. They want to play it safe and keep doing the same type of games.

I stand by what I said.
The demand for 3D platformers is still high.

 

[Spaceking]

I'm so happy, it is overwhelming. I'm almost crying.

The gameplay and artwork are almost perfect.

 

[Rich!]

I wonder who signed up to voice a character. Seems like it'd be a amazing learning experience, but ain't worth $5000.

I'm guessing for that person, £5000 is the equivalent of me backing for £15. Pocket change.

[Cindro]

Yes and Yes

Yes, yes and yes.

Yes and yes. I did it.

Hyyype! This is fantastic news.

I never thought I'd ever care enough to contribute money to a kickstarter, but I am so onboard with this.

 

[Frog-fu]

I hope this becomes super succesful so MS will realise how fucking idiotic they've been for so long.

 

[NotLiquid]

Hahaha I love this

[Dylan Sexbang]

KS doesn't take any money from you til the time ends. So feel free to back what you want, you're not paying til 46 days from now.

Oh really? Okay awesome! I'll put it in now then!

 

[Dr Dogg]

Just imagine if any further stretch goals included Amiibo's.
