Rare Replay |OT| Jetpacks and Googly Eyes, Here We Come
- Thread starter dancrane212
- Start date
I never played Viva Pinata before, what's recommended with the two here? I think the general consensus prefers the second one, but should I start from the first anyway?
The update is for Rare Replay as a whole, try closing it and opening.

Any changes outside of Jet Force?
Knightlore is probably my least favorite game in the collection. The perspective is interesting for the time it came out but the framerate is so bad. In one room it's a steady 60 FPS but in another with two enemies and a spike pit it's less than 5. Gross.

Game just kicked me out for an update. Hope it saved the milestone I just got
Edit: update keeps failing. Hmm

I did, but no luck. I'll try again tomorrow.
Weird, sounds like a problem with your hard drive. If it's not, have you tried hard rebooting your Xbox?

You hit the warp in the turbo tunnel. Not a glitch.

This update has the new controls for JFG?

I'd hate to see my hour count in Viva Pinata. It has to be close to 200 hours. I played the ever loving shit out of that game.
I'm getting Replay for nuts and bolts, and Viva Pinata: TIP because I never played it.
All I've noticed is that the Jetpack Refuelled game launches properly for me now, and the rare replay banner is gone from the 360 game panels.
And yeah I noticed that about Knightlore as well. Any room that starts to get remotely complex has a massive drop in frames.

Rare pumping out patches like N64 games.

Yeah I legit was having fun the frame rate made me stop after I got the 1st jiggy
I figured it out. I unplugged and replugged my external drive, and all the stuff came back.
If it doesn't prompt you when you launch the game and you're connected to the internet, you probably already have it installed.

It's not released worldwide yet. I'm in Sweden and there is no patch here.
I kinda wish that they weren't unlockables, or at least make it so you only need rank 15 or so to get everything. There's stuff locked behind rank 30 that I know I will never ever unlock myself (and that's some of the coolest content - music from Project Dream and Conker 64 among others!) I know that I will never see anything past a certain rank unless I look it up on Youtube. I'm too weak.
Thank god for Youtube!
But yes, the dev interviews and featurettes are great watches. Especially the Making Ofs. I'm so glad they went out of their way to do them.
Oh whoops. It's out in NA.

Which should I play viva pinata or trouble in paradise? They seem like the same thing

TIP is really just the first game with more content and improved everything, it was more of an expansion pack than a sequel. The only real perk to the original game is that it was a bit less feature rich which in turn made it a lot less busy.
Still having both in one package is a bit redundant imo.

Loaded up my old 360 saves on Kameo and the 3 Banjo games today. Ended I never did finish getting all the collectibles in Kameo back in the day and I ended up spending a few hours today collecting a bunch. Discovered a few areas in the starting village that I never knew existed. Only had a 600 GS on this one, so I figure I'll finish collecting everything and then go for at least a few A ranks to get all 5 stamps. Kameo plays very smoothly.
Glad I got all the Nuts & Bolts achievements (minus the DLC multiplayer ones) back in the day. That game plays really poorly on the Xbone just driving around the HUB. I can't imagine trying to actually do races with it like that.

anyone know what the 224mb update was for?
It's weird. The Rare Replay banners would only show up for me when a 360 title was installing/updating. Once fully installed it wouldn't have a banner.
Kinda wish they had the banners permanently but no big deal. I also hope the new OS update lets you put games in folders so that I can stick all the RR stuff together.
Added new options for Jet Force Gemini (Invert aiming on/off and a modern control scheme option). Maybe some other things I'm forgetting or don't know about

Yep, Jet Force Gemini is way better with the new controls. I like how the reticle stays centered now. The moving reticle made it really hard to hit anything before.

Finally had time to try this out. Such an amazing collection. Glad to see Jet Force got its updated controls.
Hope I didn't mislead.
We aren't playing coop together. Just playing at the same time.
Some good father and son bonding for sure

For a second I thought you were talking about a Banjo FPS game and thought you were crazy. xD
Yeah just edited. Whoops!
Bummer. Hope they patch it. The best patch would be a remaster

Yeah, yeah, I know. There were FPS segments in Tooie, but I thought the other poster was talking about an actual FPS or something.

Tooie just feels so overwhelming compared to Kazooie, I love banjo Kazooie and have one hundred percented the game multiple times, first time playing tooie and while it's really good the worlds are just too big and fuck those canary Mary sequences, looks like those will be the jiggies I skip.

just started up Knightlore
How in the world do I even play this? I managed to fumble my way through a few rooms and picked up some items. I tried to watch some videos, but I guess the layout is random?

Grabbed by the Ghoulies is really cool, feel bad for not playing this when i had an Xbox. Love how the music is pretty much like a Banjo ost

No idea. It seems like it's got a lot going on (platforming, item collection), but it's but it's so basic that just moving accurately with the isometric view makes the game harder than it would be otherwise. I don't know that any would help for Knight Lore, but sometimes the vertical slice of gameplay you get from a snapshot can teach you about the game. Like in Lunar Jetman, I thought the car was useless because it can't drive over potholes. One of the snapshots tells you to use the car's supplies to fill in potholes, and drive a total of 15 meters.
My first time playing, the ping ponging started before I grabbed the gun. (I didn't even realize there was a gun lying there, or that I needed to grab it.) I got knocked down multple pits, and it seemed as if I couldn't die, or get back up, and the shoot button did nothing.
I'm not a big fan of this. When installing Perfect Dark, I see 2 copies. Which one do I use? Is the non-Rare Replay one missing the "hold start to go back to Rare Replay" functionality?

Played through all the Spectrum games last weekend - it's probably one of the more aggravating ones to go back to!

Yeah, this is messing me up so bad. Just took me forever to realize that I couldnt make this one jump because a block was actually straight ahead of me, when it looked to be directly to my side.
