Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolds DEMO up

[QUOTE="WillieBeamish"]

OMG... just played the demo. This game is EPIC. The graphics are pure eye candy in beautiful RARE style. The game world is HUGE and if you walked it, it would take forever which is why the vehicles make so much sense.

The controls are TIGHT, anyone saying the controls suck are flat-out lying about playing the game. The only controls that take getting used to are diving under water, its a lot like in Kameo.

OMG, best platformer this gen!!!!

SecretPolice

It's willie....he hypes every 360 title as "EPIC" and "Best ___ this gen"

[QUOTE="nervmeister"][QUOTE="Tiamat_Zero"]Just played it. Exited to dashboard in record time.SSCyborg

It isnt a platformer. Its a racing game with some platforming every once in a while.

And you're a troll that could use some practice.

Not a troll. Just stating my opinion.

[QUOTE="MarloStanfield"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"]

Excellent and great to see an actual gamer here

SecretPolice

Too right . Real gamers are those who endlessley praise a game just because it's on the 360

Don't have a Cow man. :twisted:

lol for the pics, but he is a hardcore sheep that bashes the ps3 and 360 all the time

I check at 11:00pm and there was no Banjo demo up then!

Anyway this and the new Tomb raider demo should keep me tide over until Gears.

banjo comes out after gears 2

He's talking about the demos.

dude,i qouted the wrong dude........dude:P

i was telling a user that banjo releases after gears 2

Anyone else find it weird that people are complaining about the vehicular gameplay? Anybody who's been following this game over the past year knows what this game is about.Sooshy

But what they don't know is how the vehicles control, or how much of the game is dedicated to racing. Not to mention how much fun it all is. Honestly people complaining here makes ALOT more sense then people complaining in a thread about what people think of the trailer.

Anyone else find it weird that people are complaining about the vehicular gameplay? Anybody who's been following this game over the past year knows what this game is about.Sooshy

If the vehicular gameplay is sub par, then even people who were looking forward to it won't like it. And based on a bunch of opinions I've read, some like the vehicular gameplay and many hate it and find it annoying. My biggest concern for Banjo was that this new platforming aspect would be annoying and not fleshed out enough. And a lot of the comments about the gameplay reflect my concern about this game. It doesn't matter if people have been looking forward to the vehicular gameplay or not. If the controls are awkward and it feels clunky, then it will be disappointing.

So many mixed opininons. However, so far there have been more negative opinions about the game than positive based on the demo. Not a good sign at all...:?AvIdGaMeR444

Whats the big deal about :|


ugh... LBP looks alot better.
Besides that... only have a silver account.. and i appearantly can't download it yet. BOO.Well.. atleast i will get it evntually unlike that stupid QORE beta crap that sony is pulling off.

I mean off screen shots don't even look too impressive:|

Besides that.. the price sounds great, the game atmosphere looks cool, the multi-player should be awesome, the scale is just massive. and the viva-pinata look is still really great.

AA game.

Almost like some who want a more arcade feel of a racer like GT5P and try out a more sim driver like Forza 2 and think, WTH is this, it's so hard to control. ;)

It's kind of boring, went right back to Fallout 3.

Then agan, I wasn't the biggest fan of the original Banjo's either, so I dunnno.

[QUOTE="Bread_or_Decide"]

I hope some of these early reactions aren't just people trying to fulfill their prophecies that the game looks like butt. I'll check it out when I get home.

Banjo is one of the most beloved characters of old, and to see a -hypothetically speaking- subpar game come out and tarnish the series great legacy would honestly kill me a little inside.

yeah...I'm hoping thats not the case as well

your post make me want this game even more! Cant wait to go home and download it :D

I don't think there will be any getting away from some who may or may not be vested in being negative towards this high profile 360 game and saying things like: the the control feels clunky. The same may have been said about Diddy Kong Racing but for me and many; Diddy was awesome.

SecretPolice

I think your dismissing the complaint as just a "negative attack" on this "high profile 360 game". The truth is games can have clunky even down right poor controls or cameras. When that happens games get poor scores and don't recieve the critical acclaim other games do. If what these gamers and IGN have said is true and the vehicle controls are poor or frustrating then that is a huge flaw. We arent talking about personal preference but broken or not broken.

It doesnt matter if people prefer the arcade fell or sim feel, if the game is based around platforming on a vehicle and the challenge comes more from the poor controls then the actual platforming that is a problem, not a personal preference.

It all depends on how the vehicle is made, some vehicle designs will drive and control pretty poor. However if you make a good design that is well balanced, it controls quite fine.

Anywho, controls as told to me by gamers I trust are nice and just like I said: some may try Forza 2 after playing Burnout and think, huh, - I hate Forza 2, the control is clunky and broke. ;)

Too right . Real gamers are those who endlessley praise a game just because it's on the 360

It isn't 2001 any more man

Rare are not what they once were and Banjo's driving a car

I never said it was a bad looking game, but some people just look at all the gloss and not the substance.

Scale- Check
Viva Pinata ****graphics-check
unique atmosphere- check

Ugh. Those are dark. Someone needs to adjust the in-game or tv settings. Anyways, it's hyped as a AA game.

Banjo cart 64 confirmed :?Bigboss232

Then explain to me why I have yet to do a racing quest in the demo...

actually banjo is being hyped as AAA not AAsuperjim42

Nope. Overall hype is AA, bud.

actually banjo is being hyped as AAA not AAsuperjim42

There is no official hype, most people hyped it AA that I have seen. Personally I hope it gets AAA though.

[QUOTE="superjim42"]actually banjo is being hyped as AAA not AABioShockOwnz

Nope. Overall hype is AA, bud.

ok cool. i guess it must have been the extreme fanboys hyping as AAA :roll:

how does it play? still have the platforming feel to it?

I needed a demo. Banjo Kazooie is my favourite 3D platformer, but I'm not impressed with what I've seen of this game.

I'll download ASAP.

EDIT: Ahh. for****sake, I have a stupid silver account.

Bloody hell...

The game looks hot, the controls are fine and theres a ton of platforming + creative vehical design + challenging vehical missions.

What the hell is everyone crying over?:| Is this just another case of "it's on the 360, lets hate it"? Laughable thing is all the bashing that gets done is from the very same people that praise MGS4 as the end all of gaming left and right, what a joke. :lol:

first: in a few threads there were fanboys saying this game will pawn all ps3 games into the ground....if that doesnt like a extreme fanboy to you then i dont know maybe you are part of them?? :roll:

second: check my history if you want also i have never hyped any game not even killzone 2 to be AAA, i have said at best it will be an 8-9. i did say bioshock will get a nine though and it did exactly that :D

sorry i wasnt aiming the fanboy statement at the general public i didnt mean offense to the normal gamers

[Braid was fun but its not in the same league as mario or say the jak/ratchet series.unreal223

To put Mario and Ratchet in the same league is a sin IMO. Ratchet and Clank was a huge deal for platformers when it first came out, but now it's just stale, typical and irrelevant.

Braid, on the other hand, is praised for its uniqueness, clever gameplay mechanics and deepening the princess/prince story arc and Mario Galaxy is praised for its ingenious level design. Ratchet is only praised for its graphics these days. The gameplay is just as typical as can be.

This demo is worth the down load. It is big and gives you tons of things to do. It lets you collect some parts to build your own vehicle for multiplayer.

I spent 4 hours just messing around in the vehicle builder alone. I can spend even more time in there with the limited parts they give you.

If you have a 360 go grab this demo. You wont regret it.

My prediction:

Banjo will be better than the latest shameless Ratchet and Clank rehashes, but will fall short of Little Big Planet greatness (I just picked up LBP and am having a blast with it).

Even when the majority of people predict it won't get above an 8.5?

Is Killzone not a flop so long as it scores a 7.0 or above based on its heritage?

I don't care personally, but I thought the whole "hype" thing was based on what people were actually hyping a game.
