Tellyn Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I honestly haven't played a Banjo title before, but isn't it supposed to be a platformer?
Razz Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Oh i'm actually quite dissapointed. Was really looking forward to a real Banjo game and the fact that this didn't even start out as one just annoys me even more!
ShadowV7 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I honestly haven't played a Banjo title before, but isn't it supposed to be a platformer? It's supposed to be yea. Now it's... it's..err...Lego Racing featuring Banjo and Kazzoie.
Emerald Emblem Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I am reminded of Lego racers 2 greatly by this game. Though I dislike a few character designs (The key characters that is) the game itself...mediocre.
Shino Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I honestly haven't played a Banjo title before, but isn't it supposed to be a platformer? Ba-dum-tsh!
Cube Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Oh i'm actually quite dissapointed. Was really looking forward to a real Banjo game and the fact that this didn't even start out as one just annoys me even more! I'm sure a lot of games don't start out as what they end up as. You could essentially say that Banjo-Kazooie isn't a real Banjo game - it started out as something else, but when Banjo's game was canned they moved the character into their platforming game and it became Banjo-Kazooie.
gaggle64 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 What's the point of just slapping an existing franchise on there though? Have we truly learned nothing from Starfox Adventures?
triforce_keeper Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 What's the point of just slapping an existing franchise on there though? Have we truly learned nothing from Starfox Adventures? Starfox Adventures was one of the greatest games on the gamecube imo. I'm still excited about this, would have preferred it without all the vehicle stuff, but yeah, looks great
Deathborn Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 This is getting worse and worse each time I look at new things about this game...
Letty Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The newest trailer has put me off a bit, whats with the vehicles?? I'll end up playing it anyway
Shino Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Looks good and even fun, just not Banjo. You can tell by looking at the big and plain environments that they're made to be something where you can drive and fly instead of something where you jump and err.. platform. Edit: Did they remove the video?
stev2604 Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Wow. As others have said, this isn't Banjo! New Gameplay. Not working for me.
CompSci Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 for all the nay sayers http://kotaku.com/5008885/banjo+kazooie-hot-new-bird-on-bear-action i am starting to like it now, but for some reason the enviroments reminds me of viva pinata, i guesss the game must be using the same/extented engine
Hero-of-Time Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Ive just watched the trailer from GoNintendo. *Cries tears of joy upon hearing the old Banjo music*
Guest Stefkov Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Kazzoie's moves were removed and he just a uses a "gravity gun"! WTF Rare Indeed. I waited a long time to poo out eggs again and now I'm deprived of it.
Gizmo Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Removing the old moves is basically proof that Banjo and Kazooie are completely unnecessary. We were promised Banjo 3, and we're getting a new game in a BK suit.
Haden Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 for all the nay sayers http://kotaku.com/5008885/banjo+kazooie-hot-new-bird-on-bear-action i am starting to like it now, but for some reason the enviroments reminds me of viva pinata, i guesss the game must be using the same/extented engine Thats better but im still unconvinced im frankly dissapointed with how this has turned out from videos but hey I havent played it so hopefully im wrong really not getting my hopes up at all though
Jimbob Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Well, i'm a bit disappointed with the way this game is going. As it has been mentioned already, what we have is Lego Racers feat Banjo Kazooie. From the information Rare gave out at Christmas, i was convinced this was a platformer same from the teaser back a year or so ago now. Have to see more gameplay to convince me to buy this title now. We were promised Banjo Threeie, and now we get this racer as such in a Banjo suit.
S.C.G Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Technically we weren't promised it in the initial teaser though... it just said "Banjo is back!" they didn't mention in what form this may take. :/ Anyway, I'm still looking forward to this in the hope that it turns out to be amazing, sells phenomenally and then sees Rare making the real Banjo Kazooie sequel somewhere down the line.
Retro_Link Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 The original trailer with the blue drawing pencil actually hinted towards this game, what with the whole blueprint aspect of it all. After watching the gameplay video I am truely dissapointed. I couldn't be less like Banjo if they'd tried! I also REALLY dislike the visual style of everything, which is even more un-Banjo! Also, the expansive dome central hub; that's the only environment in the whole game? with all the mini-levels crammed in under it?.... BORING!! It doesn't even look that expansive via plane.
Dyson Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I still love it. Love it, love it, love it. Day 1 for me. For all those worried about the vehicles, watch this. There's still platforming. http://kotaku.com/5008885/banjo+kazooie-hot-new-bird-on-bear-action
