Posted July 10, 2008 Mobus have unveiled the Darwin controller: dear god. Although I'm not entirely sure it's first party since it's being used to control Lego Star Wars. They might be doing what was done with the PS2 motion controller and just have it acting as a motion-controlled analogue stick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2008 I wish people would stop judging the game before they play on it. Its really getting on my nerves! Banjo Land looks increadible. Ign stated that even though they have played on the full E3 demo, theres more banjo related suprises to come next week Since its banjo's 10th anniversary in the UK next week, theres a chance they could discuss stop n swop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2008 I wish people would stop judging the game before they play on it. Its really getting on my nerves! But the reasons are perfectly valid. Its not like people are saying "This looks like a shit game." They're saying "This looks like a shit excuse for a Banjo game." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Me and a few others are only expressing disappointment at the direction it's taken - it's like a spin-off now, rather than a new installment to the series, like we were expecting. Hence the disappointment. I'll still no doubt buy it day 1 and love every moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2008 I may enjoy this game but like probably millions of other ppl i was expecting a banjo threeie so in the sense of the direction it has taken i am disappointed. When we first heard about a new banjo game everybody assumed it would be another platformer because that is what banjo is really known for! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 10, 2008 Mobus have unveiled the Darwin controller: dear god. Although I'm not entirely sure it's first party since it's being used to control Lego Star Wars. They might be doing what was done with the PS2 motion controller and just have it acting as a motion-controlled analogue stick. http://www.motusgames.com/index.html This thing? It's a concept controller than Mobus have decided they'll try and get to market. It's by no means an official Microsoft product, they used to state that very clearly on the site but it's not in the small print (i guess they like the hype ) There's a reason why not many sites are reporting on it, it's old news. Tech Radar are just after easy hits off the back of the Banjo video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 11, 2008 Rare on motion control: “Banjo has been designed to be played using a gamepad from the outset” Rare’s just told VG247 that the Banjo motion control rumour, as Microsoft said overnight, is complete bollocks. “There’s no truth to the Banjo motion control rumour. Banjo has been designed to be played using a gamepad from the outset,” said Rare’s George Kelion. “People shouldn’t take rumours that gestate in comments sections so seriously. They can often turn out to be red herrings, as is the case with Banjo and motion controls.” That’s really is that. It doesn’t get more final. Other words used in the conversation we’ve just had with Rare include “piffle” and “hogwash”. And some other stuff, but we’re a family site, don’t you know. www.videogaming247.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 11, 2008 if your worried about the game http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/15334/banjo-kazooie-3/videos/Banjo_Reviewie_070908.html watch this new video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 11, 2008 They should rename the trailer Banjo-Kazooie: Obvious Atempt at Damage Control They should also say: NO U at the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 12, 2008 That trailer was so unecessary... Ok we get it! it's exactly the same Banjo Kazooie platforming except on a grander scale and with vehicles in places of moves and making up a large proportion of the game, now hurry up Rare and get copies on the shelf so that we can play / praise / penalise your efforts.

Posted July 12, 2008 So if it's all the same thing, why not just keep the old stuff instead? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 12, 2008 So if it's all the same thing, why not just keep the old stuff instead? :p Because Rare decided to fuck about with the formula :/ I would have preferred them to keep the old stuff too but was just stating what they've done and that they should hurry up and release it allready, it could still be amazing but parts of it could still suck, but this debate has gone on for long enough about "will it or won't it" hence people just want to play the game and see for themseleves. Oh well not long to go now I guess... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 12, 2008 I feel so sorry for the designers of this game. The fact they had to come out with this video. Anyway, I'm pumped! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2008 At first i was so annoyed at what they did to one of my favourite games but my faith has been restored a little. I would still rather have a platformer but the fact that u have to unlock new abilities to reach new areas makes me happier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2008 Looks freaking GORGEOUS! YAY for platformers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 14, 2008 I wish people would stop judging the game before they play on it. Its really getting on my nerves! I don't think it's such a bad thing...avid followers of the previous 2 Banjo games loyally handed over their cash for the games and thus supported the franchise. It's really only fair that people are allowed to moan if the next game isn't shaping up the way they want/including things that they want. I'll definitely be getting this, but I dislike the character design and the heavy dependence on vehicles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2008 The game looks epic, the game I wouldn't mind borrowing a 360 for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2008 Still not liking it! Same here. I want to like it and try it out, but I don't see me getting it till it's around £20 or cheaper. I'm a huge Banjo fan and all, but feeling meh towards it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2008 I can't help but still feel the twinge of regret that this isn't a traditional platformer. I'm really, really looking forward to this; it will be awesome, but not as awesome as a traditional Banjo 3. Also, thread title should be changed :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 19, 2008 Eurogamer have a great hands on with the game. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=217499 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 19, 2008 Also, thread title should be changed :p I've been thinking that for months. Why has it taken me until now to realise that i can change it? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
