I thought they showed stuff about this before, but I guess I was wrong.
I didn't care too much for Banjo 2, but Banjo 1 was basically an expansion for Mario 64. If Banjo 3 is a Mario Galaxy clone, I'll walk away with a gigantic smile on my face.

By that point, I was really burned out on collecting things.
The formula was really run into the ground during the N64's run.
EDIT: Not to say Banjo 2 was anything like, say, DK64. Rather, I just couldn't take anymore games of it's type for a while.
You have to remember this isn't the Rare that made Banjo Kazooie. It's just a shadow of it's former self.

Will buy regardless of the reviews... Go go fanboi.
Well, fair enough I suppose.
This game is probably going to be horse shit but the Banjo games were some of my favorite of that generation so I'm going to blindly hope that it turns out as awesome as them.

What about Viva Pinata?
Edit: Wait, the original team's working on this?
YES!
YEEESS!
Damn, well here's hoping they don't mess it up. I love the games for the 64.
EDIT: Hell yes on TSR's post above.

That pretty much sums up my feelings towards both games. My friends rave about them, but my soul had long since been jaded towards action/adventure games staring furry forest friends.
So, um... "Meh".

...That's about it.

The 3D platformer has really changed since, so such thoughts may not even be relevant to the outcome of this project. But I really hope its a lot more like the first than the second.

BlueEggs? I think that was one.
It was a huge letdown. The transformations were lame( oh washing machine! Yep totally funny for five seconds) the level design was pretty awful and the new moves were really lazy especially the split up techniques.
And I'll be annoyed in roughly the same way as I was when the sequel to Sunshine ended up being Galaxy. I want more nonlinearity in these kinds of games, not less.
Well I hope they keep pandering to me and not you, because I'm tired of all this free roaming crap. I want a game, not a sandbox.
Everyone Jinjo's (who have 4 heath and move twice as fast as a normal character)
Set to one of the following:
Only Grenade Eggs, everyone dies in one hit but its nearly impossible to hit someone so lots of yelling
Only Mine eggs. These turn invisible, or nearly so, when placed. They will kill a jinjo in one hit. Everyone is super fucking paranoid inside of 30 seconds
ah good times

Oh yeah? Well then, I hope that Sonic Unleashed has a hub world and levels that you have to play through multiple times in different ways in order to collect items that unlock more levels when you get enough of them.
Jak and Daxter 2 was pretty good for an open ended platformer, so I'm not fussed if Banjo 3 heads in that direction.

Sonic Unleashed does have a Hub world, and you do go through levels multiple times to unlock new ones.

Yes, that's pretty much the only way SMG could be better, by giving us big worlds to explore.
Thank You.
That's a relief.
I can't remember where, but I am sure that sometime in the last month I read a quote from one of the project leads stating that the game would be structured very differently from the N64 Banjo games. Also, it looks like it is just going to be called "Banjo-Kazooie," and we know the art style has changed, so all signs are pointing to a complete reboot.
I'm optimistic. I realize that Viva Pinata was only one game, but I think it could represent a return to form for Rare.
You forget, Viva Pinata was actually two games, and the way Rare's been talking about this new one being "not quite like the old platformers" (or something like that) has me seriously worried they'll be crapping out another Party Animals.
To be fair Kameo went through 3 different consoles in its development and suffered like many games due from the development time bloat causing them to restart from scratch and throw something together at the last minute
Okay... who's fault is that?
Rare's
Still, I really really wish they'd make a next-gen Blast Corps.
raaaaaaaaaare
Well the switch from N64 to GC was their fault but was only like a year into development
Then Microsoft bought them and they were forced to get it ready for the 360
edit: and Star Fox Adventure was also not Rare's idea it started off as a game called Dinosaur Planet, then Nintendo saw the similarities in the design of Dinosaur Planet's Anthromorphs and Star Fox's and had them make it a Star Fox game.

I'll give it this - it was very pretty.

I will give you the "scale it the fuck down" card. That game was massive.
