Banjo-Kazooie Spiritual Sequel first look!

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Very very exciting news. A team of ex-rare devs have shown off a first look at their new spiritual sequel game!

http://www.playtonicgames.com/

There's going to be more about this in the Edge magazine on Thursday.

[Netkeeper]

I'd prefer a real sequel [not the Nuts and Bolts crap] to this, but I'm still very interested.

...Though what console?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

the company rareware, is not the same as it was back in the good old days. If we get a new Banjo game it will not be made by the same people. This game is being made by people who actually worked on old rare games.

[Netkeeper]

Way to not even read my post at all.

Really, what console?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Not confirmed yet, but more info is coming on Thursday.

[Mayhem]

Doesn't say. Probably will be revealed in the Edge article.

[Powder]

Might be on Wii-U, actually-
http://mynintendonews.com/2015/02/10/banjo-kazooie-spiritual-successor-in-this-months-edge-and-wii-u-could-be-target-platform/

There’s a history of working with Nintendo so we’d naturally love to see our game on a Nintendo platform. If people tell us to make Wii U our target console platform then we’ve got the flexibility to do that.

[Peanut]

It's only confirmed for PC so far, which means I immediately don't give a sh*t.

[Autbot_Benz]

I hope its not just PC and or Wii U as I loved the OG Banjo games and Nuts and Bolts was ass. Please release it on all platforms

[CyberCubed]

Its not a Banjo-Kazooie game, its a spiritual successor using all-new characters. Banjo is still owned by Microsoft.

I'm leery of this. Big open-world collect-a-thon platformers died off after the early 2000's and I am not sure a game like this would fly nowadays. Even Mario platformers have become more linear since Galaxy and Nintendo doesn't make any other open 3D platformers either.

[snake]

If it's coming to the wii u, I'll get it.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

That is not a good reason to give this game a chance, Banjo games, Conker, DK 64, mario 64 to me, are still some of the go 2 games. I have faith!

Just because a genre has died out in popularity means it can't be good anymore? I guess the only games that can potentially be worth a sh*t these days are shooters? Good thing Telltale didn't attempt to bring back the adventure game genre, or Nintendo didn't revive the 2d platformer. Those sure would have been huge disasters!

[snake]

What's the general opinion of collect-a-thons around here? I like them because of the open world and the fact that you can invest tons of hours and still have stuff to do. DK64 is great.

Love um.

Not my point. COD is fine if that's what you want to play, but there's room for far more genres to be represented in this enormous industry. Cubed seems to think because they've fallen out of fashion they're no longer "good", which I disagree with entirely. SM64 and the original Banjo-Kazooie both stand up as incredible games. People said the same of 2D platformers before Nintendo blew the scene up with NSMB in 06 and now there are a f*cking billion platformers of all shapes and sizes across all platforms.

It depends, just like any other genre. I personally love games like SM64 and the original BK and there simply aren't enough of them. Rare sort of took it to an extreme in Banjo-Tooie, which straddles the line between between being good and absolutely ridiculous, then they singlehandedly buried the entire genre with bloat in DK64, which is a disastrous mess of a game. Naughty Dog made some decent attempts with Jak, but they too destroyed what they made with awful sequels. There's room for more and also room for improvement.

DK64 is def not for everyone, but I like playing as different kongs other than DK and Diddy, and it's pretty fun for me.

Know what's a fun DK game? Diddy Kong Racing.

[Redmage1987]

Never got around to playing the Banjo games, but it's a series I've wanted to try. I might give this a chance if it comes out for Wii-U.

[neatoman]

I loved the BK games as a kid, looking forward to this!

[TheAnvil]

Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are my all time favorite video games. Classic Rare put out hit after hit so I absolutely can't wait to see where they take this.

I know a lot of people disliked DK64 but personally I loved it. As a fan of collectathons, I personally enjoy it (still do) immensely. It's not quite on the levels of the two Banjo games, or perhaps Conker's Bad Fur Day, but what is?! My only gripe with 64 was Tiny (and to an extent Chunky) being playable over Dixie (and Kiddy).

Furthermore, I know that people hated Nuts and Bolts but it was actually a great game for what it was. It wasn't a good Banjo game per se, but it was a good game nonetheless.

Rumour has it that BK will also be getting a new game at E3. So this could be a good year for fans of 3D platforming collectathons.

Sorry but I love DK 64 to death! I know a lot of fans think they went over the top with it, but I love it and that's it.

I am not looking through rose tinted glasses either, I played it through and collected everything only 3 or 4 months ago, and tbh I loved every second of it, maybe even more so than when I was a kid.

This game could be a chance for a new generation of gamers to get in to this genre, and older gamers to reminisce.

For what Nuts and Bolts is, it's a damn fine game. Not the threeie fans wanted but still amazing.

[TheAnvil]

For what Nuts and Bolts is, it's a damn fine game. Not the threeie fans wanted but still amazing.

I feel like if they'd been consistently making Banjo games then deviating into Nuts and Bolts would have been more accepted. Making Nuts and Bolts as a soft reboot while also taunting fans with what it was like before was a tease and evidently didn't go down well.

101%?

Sheesh, that was a bit of a pain to achieve... hopefully it's still preserved on my cartridge heh...

[LeotheLateBloomer]

As someone who never played the Banjo-Kazooie games and yet has been dying to, I am definitely looking forward to this game. What excites me more is that a group of ex-Rare staff banded together to form a new company. They say Retro Studios is the new Rare but truthfully, this is the new Rare. I just hope Microsoft stays as far away from this company as possible.

And Oye! Lay off DK64! That's my childhood you are mocking!

[Peanut]

DK64 is a mess, kids. You can still like it and want to play it, but it's so convoluted and broken it isn't even funny.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Well, I don't like to brag but I guess that makes me a skilled player!

That’s an odd way to say Sonic 06.

Donkey Kong 64 will always be the last Donkey Kong game for me. The Retro games to me just turned Donkey Kong into another cutesy platformer. I just hope this team of ex-Rare developers does better then that team of ex-Naughty Dog developers.

[Peanut]

I need to learn when I'm talking to the wrong crowd.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

No dude, you're fine, too each his own. I understand that the game isn't for everyone and it has it's shortcomings but I tend to ignore them because the experience is too engaging for me.

What does a cutesy platformer mean? The DKCR games are great. Jungle Beat was also amazing and you can play the Wii port of it without the bongo controls.

DK64 was terrible. Even back in 1999 I knew it was a step down from Banjo Kazooie and its just aged even more terribly over the last 15 years.

[Powder]

I absolutely hate DK64. It sucks. It looks bad & is bad. Objectively.

[oldmanwinters]

Hey, there's always that infamous theme song... which I at least admit is kinda catchy!
E9Tdd-adEEY

What a strange selection of playable characters they went with after building up an entirely different set of personalities in the DKC SNES games.

[Cure]

Well, I don't like to brag but I guess that makes me a skilled player!

Hahaha, sure, that's exactly what it means. Not that, you know, you're willing to look past a game's faults because you like it. WHICH IS FINE, no need to get defensive.

Another cutesy platformer? I...really don't see what you mean or what even the problem would be. The Returns games are fun, that's what counts.

I think he means through an aesthetic viewpoint, which I disagree but to each his own.

S'wrong with that? I call everyone kid. There's guys at work in their 40s that I call "kid".

[Peanut]

S'wrong with that? I call everyone kid. There's guys at work in their 40s that I call "kid".

It's a very special kind of person who gets annoyed or offended at that term being used.

[TheBlueTurtle1]

It's a very special kind of person who gets annoyed or offended at that term being used.

Where I come from, it's very disrespectful to refer to others as "kid".

On another note, we should be getting more info today at some point.

You must come from a very uptight place.

[Netkeeper]

I like being referred to as "kid", personally. I think it's cute.

[Peanut]

Where I come from, it's very disrespectful to refer to others as "kid.

Where exactly do you come from where it's "very" disrespectful? Seems like a real fun place.

I use it as a term of endearment and/or as a way to refer to a group of people in a relaxed manner. Sorry if that bugs you, but that's how it is. In my neck of the woods we find it pretty pathetic when people use terms like "what the shell" in normal conversation, especially people over the age of 12, but I don't harp on people about it.

Noooot sure I like. Might grow on me after I see them in action/in their environment, but for now, it's not something I'm fond of.

[Redeemer]

Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are my all time favorite video games. Classic Rare put out hit after hit so I absolutely can't wait to see where they take this.

I can't believe people hated DK64. It is my favorite of the Donkey Kong games.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Screw the haters, I love it!

[sdp]

Well I'm cautiously optimistic. First I think the most important factor is who exactly are these "ex-Rare" employees, because I'm sure Rare had tons of them so being ex-rare doesn't mean they were making good stuff. The teaser image is awesome however it relies heavily on nostalgia which isn't a good sign but counting it's not being crowdfunded it takes a little worry off of the project. I just hope they don't rely heavily on nostalgia though, I mean it's already going to be a turn off no matter what when they reveal the main characters since they'll be nothing like Banjo Kazooie, if they go too strange then fans will get mad and if they do something too similar with another anthropomorphic animal it might just be seen as a cheap rip off, so the design has to be very well done to appease both sides. I personally love and remember fondly the "collectathon" open 3D world platformers and miss them so I'm glad this is a return to norm.

As far as Donkey Kong 64, i had a friend who was more of a casual gamer but he swore by the game and would always mention dozens of reasons of why it was better than either B-K game. Personally I never finished it and I don't think it was necessarily a bad game but by that point we had already had plenty of those type of 3D platformers by many companies, sure only SM64 and BK were amazing but that was the problem. SM64 is great in its own right and easily the best 3D platformer on the N64. BK was the DKC of the N64, it was similar to SM64 something new to the table, looking back it wasn't as good as SM64 but at the time it felt like it was just like DKC felt like it was better than SMW. Even if DKC/BK weren't as good as SM64/SMW looking back they were still great games. BK just had so much stuff, music, humor, secrets and love poured all over it. DK64 isn't necessarily a bad 3D platformer it just wasn't made with the same care, it was obvious Banjo was Rare's new "go to" franchise and DK64 was only a project they had because they made the DKC games. The different characters just didn't make up for how fun it was to play as both Banjo and Kazooie so most characters felt flat. They went overboard with the things you needed to find, and showed that bigger wasn't always better. The story and music just weren't as well written or clever as they were in BK. The game just wasn't made with the same love that BK got. BT came out only a year later and it was a much better game, sadly it still upped the things you needed to collect and the larger worlds weren't necessarily better either but they still weren't as tedious as some parts of DK64. The humor was still there and so was the music, while BT wasn't as great as it could've been or as good as BK it was still a pretty fun game and worthy successor. I would still consider DK64 to be the fourth best 3D platformer on the system only being beaten by SM64 and the two BK games.

You make some interesting points.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

Do you guys see the old Rare bouncing back up for Microsoft and do you think Nintendo will consider purchasing this new company at some point?

[TheBlueTurtle1]

Hope so, Nintendo would be a great home for them.

Not sure about Rare, it could go either way. They have not done anything in so long and most of all the original people that made these great games have moved on. They do however have all the tools at thier hand to make more great games. Only time will tell.

[Memphis]

I love collect-a-thons. I still play through Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie at least once a year. I'd be extremely excited if that's what it turns out to be. I haven't played a new one in a while.

[sdp]

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/playtonic/yooka-laylee-a-3d-platformer-rare-vival

So they finally revealed the game and the kickstarter already met its goal. The game has peaked my interest but I'm still cautiously optimistic, it's more than just a spiritual sequel to Banjo Kazooie, it's looks like a blatant copy and I'm not sure how I feel about that. That's one of the reasons I didn't pledge for Mighty No.9 and after looking at how that project is coming along I'm glad I didn't pledge and I probably won't for this one but if it gets good reviews I'm definitely in. It's relying heavily on nostalgia, I hope the logo is changed since it's Fanfic looking. The characters/humor/music seem great and on par with something from BK if it had continued, the levels look a little boring but I'm guessing the game is still in early development so I'll see how it goes.

It's only confirmed for PC so far, which means I immediately don't give a sh*t.

I'm curious as to why? Having a PC release somehow makes it a 'lesser' game? I used to have a similar train of thought years ago because of a flood of indie titles that weren't bad but just mediocre but I don't feel that way anymore.

[Peanut]

No, it's because my PC is years old at this point and I don't care to get a new one. I'm passed the point of wanting to deal with the hassles of PC games as well. I had time to mess around with that kind of stuff years ago, but no longer.

Anyways, they announced this is coming to consoles too, so I'm way more excited for it. I almost dropped the $500+ for the N64 cart before I came to my senses. I think I'll watch it for a bit before contributing, because I've been annoyingly burned on Kickstaters who introduce far more interesting rewards further into their campaign, but I definately will.

Edit: This is awesome lol

[TheBlueTurtle1]

I wish some of the stuff wasn't actually digital. Wouldn't ming a real copy of that art book. I am going hand out some cash on monday I think.

Can't wait for them to reach the "co-op" goal. I wonder what the other character would be???? Hopefully not a second Yooka and Laylee, in a different colour:lol:

[Peanut]

I wish some of the stuff wasn't actually digital. Wouldn't ming a real copy of that art book.

Same. I also wish they weren't so insanely steep. I backed Mighty No. 9 at the physical level to receive the legit box and stuff, but it was like $80 after shipping and conversion. It's like $130+ for me to get a physical PC copy of this, which is totally not worth it. I kind of hope a pub swoops in and decides to bank roll at least a limited physical release. We've seen that happen more and more recently and this is definitely the biggest KS hit there's been in awhile.

The music they have on their Kickstater is amazing. Kirkhope just basically doing Banjo-Kazooie and David Wise killing it as always. I've listened to both like 10 times already.

Also, holy sh*t at the donations already. They've reached nearly half of their stretch goals and it hasn't even been 4 hours year. I kind of wish they moved the "simultaneous console launch" stretch goal up above stuff like coop and multiplayer, but I'm also sure they'll reach that goal anyways. Hype as sh*t to see my favourite genre being rep'd so hard right now. This stuff isn't dead, it's just that no one has bothered to make it! Shooter fatigue is real!

And this looks too perfect. It looks so right that it almost seems like a game from another reality.

100% agree with, I been listening to the tracks since they were posted. Amazing!

[Peanut]

Well, I just broke. Backed it at the $270USD level to get a signed physical copy of the game, all the digital stuff, the CD soundtrack, artbook and retro manual. DON'T CARE! I BLAME IT ON DAVE F*CKING WISE!

[TheSkeletonMan939]

These guys will be totally backed (£1 million) by the end of the week.

The music previews are amazing.

From one fan to another, thanks for supporting this!

[Peanut]

At the rate they're going they'll reach all their stretch goals by the end of the day. People are still working/just finishing in North America, which means thousands of potential donations are incoming. I wouldn't be totally surprised if they hit that top stretch sooner than a week. I also think they'll end up needing to add further stretch goals, because there's no way this thing stops at 1 million.

From one fan to another, thanks for supporting this!

Trust me, it is my god damn pleasure to help see this game get made. I want nothing more than for games like this to exist again.

The best part is that this thing is happening regardless now, it only took 40 minutes to get to that point. Now we're just seeing how much extra we can jam in!

Broke their final stretch goal this morning, so the game is officially day 1 on PC, Wii U, X1 and PS4! The two new stretch goals include a new "rap" for the end credits written by Kirkhope and an N64 shader mode! Awesooooooooome!

Is there going to be a physical Art book as an award. It looks like it;s listed in the physical section, but my brother keeps saying it's digital only.
Ill donate the amount to get it.

I wonder if the local co-op character will be the cute and cuddly sort, or more like Yooka-Laylee?

The 110USD level comes with all physical stuff. Not only the the game, but the art book, soundtrack CD and manual as well.

Part of the reason I think that they're getting so much money is that they're actually listing out their stretch goals as opposed to just saying "extra money means extra content" and leaving it at that.

I wonder if they approached Nintendo with this project before decided to crowdfund. It would be interesting to hear if they pitched it to Nintendo to publish and they turned it down.

They didn't approach anyone about anything. They've already said that they haven't talked to anyone about it outside of people at Rare in the three months they've been working on it, so I seriously doubt they went to anyone to pitch it.

Next stretch goal is going to be an orchestrated soundtrack, which...

Yes, please, Mr. Kirkhope.

I've been feeling nostalgic for Banjo and Kazooie after this whole kickstarter happened but I'm not sure I'd want a new one without the project ukalele crew. I'm still glad I haven't sold my Banjo-Kazooie plush from the mid 90s, I was about to since it goes for a decent amount and I thought I had no more love for that bear and bird.

Remembering BK made me realize Yooka-Laylee might not have the awesome chemistry that Banjo and Kazooie had, hell now that I think about it Banjo was replaceable, but man Kazooie and her sassy attitude will not be able to be surpassed.

BK is amazing, and they along with Conker are my fav gaming characters, but there is no reason why these 2 can't be as great.
