So does system wars think Banjo 3 will be good now? Not even talking about score or anything, just does it look good?

I think it'll be great, and I don't even own a 360.

I absolutely, definently think this game will be good; great, even. Sure, if a few of kazooie's moves where there that would have been great, but what rare's offering already is pretty cool. The music is spot on, the graphics are impeccible, and the gameplay looks.. FUN! What more could a person want?

For me it's Fable 2 and Banjo 3.

Gonna get Banjo 3 first though since im preordering it for BK1. Yea, basically because of their advertising method.

Dunno really, I'll probably rent it when I get my 360, it looks like it'll turn out good, but have hardly any replay value. Does it have any sort of multiplayer? Because I think building vehicles then competing against a friends vehicle in the same challenge would be pretty cool.

Not anymore. The vehicle-building concept looks very gimmicky. The game should have been a platformer instead. Banjo-Tooie was a platformer and it was innovative and fresh, scored higher than the first one, so there's no reason a third platformer Banjo game couldn't add new stuff and be fresh as well. SMG is a platformer still, and it got 9.5. I don't see sheep saying it shouldn't have been a platformer, or that it's stale. Would SMG have worked better if it were a vehicle game like this one? I think not. It would have been worse. Much, much worse. So all of you who say "a third platformer wouldn't be good" just think about SMG.

Anyway, I don't think we should hype this game anything higher than AA. Rare hasn't had an AAA game in almost three years...

I'm not a cow if that's what you're insinuating. I don't even have a PS3.

As for Banjo 3, it looks like a gimmicky spin-off game instead of the true sequel to Banjo-Tooie. Maybe if it scored 9.5 or higher I'd give it another look, but for now, I'm focusing on Fable 2 and Left 4 Dead and such.

Personally it's my most anticipated game for the 360 this year.

But most people on system wars seem to beleive it'll fail since it's from Rare(despite thefact that the last few games they've released have been pretty well recieved).

Im not calling you a cow, in fact, SE supports the 360 more so than the ps3, so far.

But in general, it's stupid to say. All the games rare have made this gen have been good. Kameo was the best imo, followed by VP/TIP and then PDZ (which was still good thank you).


I just dont see how youd call this gimmicky. Gimmicky is something if it were for asthetics, but its to do a challenge.

I swear, people scream they want innovation but scare it away when they see it.

Innovation is such an overused word these days. Banjo-Tooie was "innovative" yet it was still a platformer. It recieved better reviews than the first, and that was on the N64. Imagine a 3D platformer with the 360 hardware. Plenty of room for innovation there. You don't need to completely change the genre of the game to be "innovative". It seems gimmicky to me because the selling point of the game is building vehicles. That just seems..."meh". All the Jiggy (those things you use to unlock new levels) challenges can only be completed with vehicles, and the actual challenges look like cheap mini-games. Plus, Banjo-Kazooie have almost no on-foot moves - all combat has to be done in vehicles. Sounds lame to me, tbh.

PJ64 for the win.

I'm pretty open to buying it after watching some videos, I don't really like platformers but flying vehicles look pretty fun. It's easy on the eyes and cheap ($40), which are nice bonuses.

To be honest, it looks boring. All of the vehicles seem slow, the combat is uneventful and I haven't even seen any platforming.

The game has a meaty multiplayer component, and there are leaderboards for all of the challenges in the single player I believe.

Yes it has vehicles, yes it may not follow exactly in the same footsteps as the N64 games. Does this mean it will be a bad game?

No.

Different does not = bad. This will be an AA game for sure, and judging from the gameplay videos it may have a chance for AAA as well.

As a 360 owner, zero interest. That's not to say it won't be good, because I think there's a good chance of that - I just don't care about the game at all.

Not anymore. The vehicle-building concept looks very gimmicky. V_Isle

I would say that too, until they talked about how they're incorporating vehicles into the game.

I believe there's tiers of challenges in the game, much like the old platformers of yore. Yet to complete the highest challenges requires more thought into your vehicle. It would be a gimmick if they asked you to create an air vehicle, which within five minutes, can complete all the challenges for a particular course. However that's not the case, as you have to build efficient/ergonomic machines to get the job done. So instead of archaic time trials where you had to pinpoint the quickest way to get from point A to B, you're required to get creative and build something which will allow you to complete such challenges.

So no, I don't think it's a gimmick. It seems Rare actually have something going for them.

It looks like it will be a very solid platformer.I think it will be good and the 360 could use a good platformer.

And Square-Enix hasn't made a AAA game since last gen.

We shouldn't hype FF13

FF4, FF7:CC and TWEWY are all AAA games that came out after FF13

Square has only done a couple of next gen games for the Wii. One which was a wiiware game and the other done by one of their small teams.

Crisis Core isn't part of this gen now? If you mean for home consoles they have not released their first current gen game yet, they only published Infinite Undiscovery.

Crisis Core isn't part of this gen now? If you mean for home consoles they have not released their first current gen game yet, they only published Infinite Undiscovery.

crisis core is a handheld game.

9.0 on a handheld = XBLA game, it doesnt matter
