Banjo Kazooie 360

[Drewbacca]

Rare does nothing best and you know it.

You thought they were the shit when Nintendo owned them.

The trailer had a lot of charm and charisma, which is actually something new for a Rare game. The new characters designs looked interesting as well, and I liked the rough housing Banjo demonstrated with Kazooie. Any physical assault that fucking bird is welcome IMO.

Anybody who's hoping this won't be a collect-a-thon style game when the trailer already showed us three different tokens is kidding themselves.

How long did it take you to beat the game? If you say over 10 hours you really suck.

Did any level introduce a new or exciting spin on play mechanics? If you say yes you've never played a good platformer. Same goes for the boss battles.

I stayed away from Kameo when I realized a game based on morphing in to big ass creatures didn't have any awesome cool morphing animations. Actually it didn't really have any morphing animations -- just sparkles and magic.

link pls. I've always thought Rare was over-rated. I've never understood why they were held in such high regard. They're slightly above average. But, I will buy any console at any price for a new JFG.

It sure as hell *better* be a collect-a-thon. I watched that trailer and the golden sparkly puzzle pieces and honey-combs made my mouth water. I forgot how much I liked the Banjo games 'till I saw those.

Scavenger hunt gameplay 4EVA.

Is it me, or does Rare's artistic style keep degrading more and more with each game released. What's up with Banjo's new design? He looks like he has a freaking domino for a nose.

[Will]

I was thinking that too but I'm guessing it's either a really early design or they really are losing their sense of design.

It's just you. Except for Perfect Dark 0, but that game sucks.

[Dyne]

not that the original B&K design was the epitome of manliness, but the new one screams queer.

[Rumpy]

It's the same fuckin' bear. He's goofy looking to begin with.

[Diff-chan]

He really doesn't look any different from the rendered concept art of the original.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed the original - it wasn't better than Super Mario 64, but it was as good a clone as we've ever gotten and it had a great amount of care and work put into it. It'd be cool to see what Rare can do with a collectathon on new hardware and with the lessons of Donkey Kong 64 in it's cap.

I thought he had more style to him in the new trailer.
