New Banjo 3 pics, now with Vehicle images. - KEEP IT HERE

[QUOTE="Vis-a-Vis"][

Surprisingly deep. Just reading about some of the vehicles, looking at the stats, and knowing there are 1,600 different parts makes me excited.

That's what get's me excited. The fact that if they manage to blend what we all know as traditional Banjo platforming (Jiggies, notes, Jinjo's, great humor, classic characters, etc.) With these vehicles that have seemingly endless different combinations of parts, then I can see this becoming a great platformer.

That's if Rare can pull it off. Rare obviously hasnt taken the tried and true platforming experience, upped the resolution, textures and slapped a 3 on the end of Banjo to make a 'next gen banjo' they've taken a different approach to the series.

Rare is hopefully putting a good amount of effort into integrating vehicles into banjo, this isnt likely easy, but if they do pull it off, I can see banjo 3 vecoming a great game.

Heres to hoping that Rare can make Banjo 3 the definitive platformer of 2008!

[QUOTE="GundamGuy0"]I 100% agree with this post.

This game might be great, but it's not going to appeal to fans of the original games...and that's not what they were going for either apparently.

ZeldaMaster32

So...do I debunk that statement? >_>

No, of course there will be some, apparently it's a mixed bag, with some really loving the idea and some saying, Where is my Banjo, this is not my Banjo. Which when you make a new game in a franchise it's not usually considered good to alienate half your fanbase.

[QUOTE="MikeE21286"]Wow, just watched this, the vehicles to me are.....dis-heartening. I actually might be anticipating Too Human more than this now after watching both of their trailers that just came out.Mamba_Negra

dude we already know you love PS3, and stop bashing Xbox 360 games.

Video: most of the video was multiplayer but the vehicles thing should be a huge bonus in the single player.

[QUOTE="Adrian_Cloud"]So much hype for such an average looking game. Hopefully it makes it to this year.Mamba_Negra

yet another PS3 fanboy bashing, if you look at its posting history you will agree.

Yeah look at my posting History.. i Praise games like Alan Wake, Alone in the Dark, Siren, REsident Evil 5, Mario Galaxy, Zelda TP and NG. While games like this, i critisize. Think what you want, but this looks boring has *^%^, much rather get the new Viva Pinata game than this.

[QUOTE="web966"]That Spy hunter game on the PS2 did that. When you were driving a car it would turn into a boat when you drove into the water.ZeldaMaster32

Was Spy Hunter a plaformer or something like 007? Because I thought we were talking about platformers.:|

Anything Spy related has stuff like that.

Machines that turn into other machines is nothing new.

is it so much to just ask for a balance between the vehicle segments and the platforming?Shinobishyguy

It looks like thats what we are getting. From that small part where he grabs the piece and places it in the car to trasport it to the drop point.

There are alot of if's in there.

I have no doubt this will ge a good fun game. But I do doubt that they can balance platforming with the new vehicle focus. It's not worked in any game in the past... so I have my doubts.

People do realize the new trailer is just showing off the new vehicles, right? I mean obviously it's a platformer, but Rare wanted to show what's new in banjo 3, not what we've seen and expect to see.

Oh well, can't get through to some people though.

Machines that turn into other machines dynamically is pretty new to me. You create the vehicles and can make them do that how you want to. I havent seen that in any other game to date.

Because he got the piece from platforming I would assume since in the other parts in the video on foot you see him platforming to get pieces.

The game's title is Nut's and Bolts, and Mumbo is a mechanic, and you build machines to accomplish missions...

That really sounds like a platformer...

and no rare isn't just showing off the new parts... they are showing off what the game is... why not show both then to avoid this backlash...

I have doubts too, but nobody can disagree that if they somehow manage to incorperate these new vehicle mechanics into the Banjo formula seemlessly, then it will be a great game, and most likely the best banjo yet.

Also, what people fail to realise in their comparisons (Starfox adventures, FF:CC, Halo wars, etc.) is that those games are fundamentally different than their predecessors (Space shooter>>>Action adventure, RPG>>>>Adventure Hack N'slash, FPS>>>>RTS) Banjo 3 is essentially Banjo, with new vehicle elements incorperated in the game.

No ****? I mean its not like they could be trying to show off the new features to the platformer or anything right?

Its obvious they are trying to show off what you can do now in the new game. If you look at some of the screens you can see there is clearly a LOT of platforming since there are collectables all over the wall in the background. There wouldnt be much point in showing the platforming since everyone knows how that works, but no one knew about the car section.

Like I said before you cant have the vehicles without platforming since you gotta get the parts for the vehicles first before you can make them.

Exactly why not have half and half in the trailer to keep this backlash from happeing? They are showing what the game is...

Well, at this point, everything is speculation. You can't expect to get the jist of an entire game in a 2 minute teaser trailer, we can wait and see, but until facts are confirmed, everything is based on assumptions.

Vis-a-Vis

But it's not Banjo 3 isn't the same essentiall banjo from the n64... Not if you go by what previewers have said and Rare has shown... and the last game was 8 years ago, they can't expect everyone to know what the platforming is like, so why not show it off too, for the new crouds?

Execpt i'm going by the previewers not the trailer. The previews say the game focuses on driving and building machines. They don't mean that the portion of the game they have seen focuses on it... they mean the game.

Don't S*** up this thread with a personal fight. Stay on topic.

The previews for this game are very good. :) Can't wait! I think it'll be a good AAE.BioShockOwnz

It's going to be a good game, the mechanics for the machines are awsome, but I can't help but feel a little put out because it doesn't fit in the banjo universe at all. I don't remember the badgers name from Diddy Kong Racing, but I think he would have made a better character for this game then Banjo.

Just like Ratchet and Clank FToD was a guarentieed AAAE?

I woudn't count on it... It might happen but I wouldn't be so bold to assume it will.

I'm disappointed by this, as well is my roommate whose second favorite game(s) for the N64 behind OoT (he's a big Zelda fan) are Banjo Kazooie & Banjo Tooie.

My opinion on it is it looks like crap. Platforming elements looked good, but the driving just looked terrible. I'm hoping it proves me wrong, because now that I had just got a 360 I was really looking forward to this game but with this direction its taken... :?

I wouldnt predict a score either, this game could go either way, it could be a resounding succcess that pushes the genre forward, or it could end up destroying what little credibility Rare has left.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]:D OMG, it's sooo pretty. *waiting for the cow bashing to start*ragrdoll21

No. The first level of ToD is beautiful and there's a ton of things going on, but after that the other levels feel like filler content and don't live up to the intensity or look of the first.

Man, game looks awesome, I could careless about old gameplay, the vehicle combat and vehicle customization looks awesome.

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]:D OMG, it's sooo pretty. *waiting for the cow bashing to start*ragrdoll21

hoe about that game never challenged me and was basicly a boring adventure shooter in stead of a platformer... i was really dissapointed.. looked pretty good. much better than horribly art directed BK3

A Platformer that has MP! :o

I'd prefer if Rare released a vid with more platforming though.
