They freaking did it. I'm so incredibly happy seeing that a concept like this can find so much love.
The gang is back together. I hope they have as much fun as they used to have in the old Rare days.
I'd love to see more of this. Veteran devs going back to do the things they and their fans loved, serving an audience completely ignored by AAA publishers.

Backed. I think the soundtrack alone will justify my investment.
Pls, my heart can't handle this.
The fact that the guys at Rare and Playtonic seem like good friends still and are happy for each other means we might see a crossover or some homages in each games...
:O
My hype.

I wouldn't be any more excited lol. BK4 will probably be terrible, all the talented people are gone.
Get ready for a soundtrack full of remixes of old BK songs (again) with some forgettable new ones

Holy shit we are already almost to stretch goal number 4.
You hear that publishers?! These games are dead. No one wants 3D platformers anymore or couch co-op.

Yep, backed the digital deluxe tier. DK64 on Wii U Virtual Console made me hyped again for the old N64-style-platformers, so this came in with perfect timing.
Expecting some serious collectathon hours!
If they can get some publisher (NOT one of the console makers!) for a physical release, then i'm up for that, too!

Nice avatar bro
How do you know?
You know that key members behind the Banjo-Kazooie games are still working there, right? Plus other talented people that worked on Kameo, Conker and Viva Pinata.
It did that in about half an hour. It's been a little over 2 and a half hours now and it's at £420,000.

SO BEAUTIFUL IT HURTS TO LOOK AWAY.
LOL, people still think this? Do some research man.
Clearly he doesn't know.
2 traditional platformers > 1.
Please let BK3 be real as well.

Which members are still working there? Every time Rare is brought up, people usually say that all of the guys who made "good" games are gone.

They do have a physical version. Gotta spend more 70 euros / 108 USD for it though.

I wouldn't go as far as saying that - There is still some good talent at Rare and also people come and go - just because a decent amount of old Rare veterans left doesn't mean that Rare hasn't recruited good talent.
I don't understand this - but that discussion is for another thread.

I know because they haven't made a decent game since all of those people left lol, and even NnB which was a good game in principle was brought down by the terrible pandering nostalgic elements.
And it's like he thinks they only ever hire untalented people these days too.

Do you have faith in Playtonic?
4/6 of the Rare veterans at Playtonic still worked at Rare at the beginning of 2014 which means that they worked on the games that you didn't like.

They've made at least 1000 of an amiibo?
I swore they only released 200 of your typical amiibo in each region.

if that was a backer exclusive amiibo, the amiibo collectors would back crazy money just to get that
