Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts (360)
- RARE says they didn't want to make a hi res version of the old Banjo platformer.
- You create vehicles with parts you find around the levels.
- GI says their first vehicles was a 4 wheeled kart with a spring attached to the bottom that allowed them to jump things. They later found a helicopter blade that allowed their kart to fly. Later they added balloons to the vehicle and put the blade on the back and created a hovercraft.
- RARE showed them a vehicle that was a monster truck that was able to detach its chasis to become a mini bike. When the bike ramped off a cliff it revealed collapsible glider wings and started flying.- There will be 1,600 parts including weapons that you'll be able to attach to the vehicles.
- The town is called Showdown Town.
- GI says that despite the large focus on vehicles it still features platform elements from the previous games like traditional platforming, tight rope walking and jiggy piece collecting.
- Showdown Town is 16 times larger than anything RARE has created before.
- Every level has a different intro. Nutty Acres begins with a credits spoof of 80's soap opera's like Dallas.- Note collecting is back and will act has currency that'll allow you to bu vehicle blueprints.
- RARE says there are 15 different challenges spread across 6 different levels. There will also be side missions.

my views are totaly mixed the initial reaction is:

NO!!!!!!VFECSDX FUCKINGVC

i am the biggest fucking banjo-kazooie fan and ever since that old teaser i was planning on buying a 360 JUST FOR THIS GAME

i never care about graphics and stuff so that doesnt really matter to me. but the gameplay just looks ITS NOT BANJO-KAZOOIE ANY MORE

this fucking almost brought a tear to my eye jesus fuck. WHAT HAPPENED TO N64 RARE THEY WERE SO FUCKING GOOD and now they're just shitting out this crap FUCKING

i think i would rather have not known

i SINCERELY HOPE that this is like a side-game or something and isn't intended to be the actual new banjo-kazooie and maybe it will be released in addition to an actual platformer

either way i'll still probably be getting a 360 just for it because i love the b-k series and it looks like it will still be a PRETTY GOOD GAME i mena the customization (TOTAL CUSTOMIZATION) of the vehicles is tubular but it's just not the same series ;-;

looking at the game as a unique game it seems REALLY FUCKING COOL, but it's just te Threeie that i expected

I think Rare pretty much went downhill after Banjo-Tooie. I personally only loved them for the DKC series (which are the best games EVER) and I hate to see them go downhill like this.

Where is my DKC4 at.

 

[Anglachel]

I'm in the same boat as you guys.

I LOVED Rare back in the day, Banjo Kazooie is one of my all time favourite games. Better than that other mario game in my opinion. The DKC series is also up very high up in my list of all time favourites. Oh and then there's Conquer's Bad Fur Day. I thought rare could do no wrong! Now correct me if I'm mistaken but have they actually made a good game since they left Nintendo?

Still the possibility of Banjo Kazooie 3 had me both excited and dissapointed. Excited because I would get to see one of my favourite games reborn and in next-gen, but dissapointed because I don't even know if I will be getting a 360.

However looking at the trailer I have to concur with missingo:

SINCERELY HOPE that this is like a side-game or something and isn't intended to be the actual new banjo-kazooie and maybe it will be released in addition to an actual platformer

Although to be honest that does seem somewhat doubtfull. The vehicals seemed like the main point of the game, it even had some kind of gumi ship going on there. There were scenes of them on foot though...

In conclusion, lets have a DKC4! Preferably not on the 360 and without vehicals.

Man I would bust a hypothetical nut if DKC4 ever came out because we all know its a great game.

I mean why cant they just combine the two? Like Banjo-Kazooie meet DKC. Look at DKC 3, all of the bears and stuff from Banjo-Kazooie were in it and it worked fine.

Sorry If Im turning this into a Rare lovefest, but we all know Rare>Nintendo back in 1994-1996.

Can you believe someone said Sonic 3 was better than Banjo Kazooie and DKC 2.

The nerve!

 

[Despain]

they did come out with dkc4

(it was called dk64)

but there won't be another dk game made by rare unless microsoft drops them (i think they might be able to make handhelds for nintendo though still)

I know about DK64, I just never knew it was considered as DKC4.

If thats the case then im upset cause I really didnt like DK64 at all.

Oh wow. Hm, if Banjo can still do run-n-gun segments with Kazooie, this could shape up to be the next Shadow The Hedgehog.

And we all know how good that game was, right? =D

someone made this comparison and i think i will paste my reply

sonic was ruined long before shadow the hedgehog came out, that game only cemented it.

and this is nowhere near that bad. even though the gameplay style looks like it's VEYR DIFFERENT from the original two games, the overall graphics and character design seems just as entertaining and it was that charm that really made the original games stand out. the more i look at this the better it seems, but that's because after the initial shock i've been trying to look at it on its own rather than a true banjo-kazooie sequel. some of the shit seems really neat.

That's because current Rare and old Rare aren't even the same people anymore, same name, different people. Most of original members left after Microsoft bought them. It was enough of a member change to warrant a new name, but why would they change their name when they can sell games on their company name alone?

The the point at which the Sonic series turned bad is subjective - I happened to love Adventure 2 - but the potential comparisons betweeh this and Shth (ignoring other sonic games) is striking. This quite obviously has the potential to be far better, in both game engine/mechanics and plot. I'm just being facetious, really.

Not really. There is a definite idea of what Sonic is, and it's clear Sega lost that idea after S3&K. Anything after it was bad.

Sega now and days seems to think Sonic is just about SPEED. Speed wasn't what set Sonic apart from Mario, what set Sonic apart from Mario was the level design. Mario is just a left to right jaunt, Sonic had multiple paths, multiple reasons to reply the game, hidden passages, and the like.

Everything after S3&K was either LEFT TO RIGHT LOL (Sonic Rush), or...SPEED/BUNCH OF RANDOM CONTENT (Adventure....Heroes......StH.....etc.)

I think Sonic first fucked up when it turned 3D!

Since then it went downhill big time!

As for the new Banjo-kazooie it does look like it may destroy the series! I loved Banjo-kazooie and Banjo-tooie!

Sometimes game seriess need to stick to a style rather than trying to upgrade because often the upgrade does worse for the game!http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l283/ultimaodin/Ashamed.gif[/img]
