Rare On Speech in Banjo-Threeie

In the Scribes section of Rare's website, there a question dealing with speech in Banjo-Threeie. Here it is, along with the response.

Now that it's safe to assume that Banjo-Threeie, Three-Kazooie, Threeie-Threeie, or even Banjo is Back! is deep in development, maybe two things can be answered- will the traditional gibberish be dumped for full spoken dialogue, and why have the characters been redesigned to look like they stepped out of Madagascar?"

RARE SAID TO THAT

Answer

Banjo: "We are still mulling over the speech. The original idea behind the gibberish was to avoid having speech, but it has become part of Banjo's appeal and something that I am reluctant to let go just because full spoken dialogue is considered the norm these days. Regarding the look of the characters, we felt that the decade-old look belonged in a different era and needed bringing up to date."

So what would you want to see in the new Banjo?

Keep the series charm with no spoken dialouge and have garbbled speech

or

Bastardize the series with Voice Acting.

I can't imagine Banjo Kazooie with voice acting, so I vote for gibberish.

**Edit:

I had a thought. Perhaps Grunty, and  the villains could have voice, but leave Banjo & Kazooie in gibberish; however, I would also like them to talk a whole lot less, yet make grunts whenever they need to.

Does anyone really care? :?Timstuff

I have waited seven years for this game, and the Banjo-Kazooie series are my favorite games of all time.

There is 1 "care" for you.

Okay, but if Grunty has a voice, she needs to talk in rhyme again. I hated when here sisters made her stop.

NO. VOICE. ACTING. who would play mumbo jumbo? Samuel L. Jackson?El_Fanboy

I would rather have voice-acting. The gibberish was the most annoying thing ever.Mudig

Star Fox Lost the Gibberish and no one cared. Even though I still quote the Gibberish from the SNES Star fox, it didn't stop SF64 from being great. So I really don't care what they do with the voice acting.waynehead895

I see no point in bastardizing it. Voice acting is cool, sure, but when it sucks or is out of context, it does more harm than good.foxhound_fox

Voice acting. The garbled speech hurts the ears after a while...

KEEP THE GIBBERISH!!! If you take away the gibberish, you take away some of the game's charm.

For this kind of game, they need gibberish. I didn't like to see PDZ and Kameo with voice acting.

Voice-acting takes the imagination out of things 

The answer is simple.

Have everyone else talk except for Banjo.

...

If Rare ruins Banjo Kazooie, I will be out for blood and people will pay. 

They better not put in full voice acting...

As for the graphics....The new look doesnt effect me at all.

I just wish that they would release more info, its driving me crazy.

This is my most anticipated game of the year, possibly of all time and i hope Rare does it right. 

uh uhh uh uhh uhh uh uhh

translation: I prefer no voiceacting in Banjo-kazooie what-so-ever
