AWKWARD ZOMBIE

First impressions:
ï I don't care what you say, their new look is awesome
ï Oh god please don't fall into the same trap as Jak (& Daxter) 3, platforming/collecting shit should still be the main focus of the game
ï I wonder wether that mechanical dome is just a single level or the new overworld - which it might well be, seeing as the whole game has a sort-of steam punk setting, which I think is cool
ï Mumbo apparently owns a car shop now, it *looks* like you can modify your vehicles
ï Holy shit, is that a blue chomp with dental issues? But...but... Nintendo...
ï Levels still look a bit empty and unorganic, still, it's it's in an early stage of development, besides...
ï It might just be this one level, considering Spiral Mountain, Mad Monster Mansion, etc will return - this might just be a new theme for a level

Overall I haven't made up my mind on it yet, there's a lot of things that suggest it might turn out great (Core team is identical to that of the N64 titles, Grant Kirkhope will score the game, they'll keep the pseudo-voice acting, unlike Kameo they won't have to rush it out for the 360's release this time), I just hope they don't complete throw the old gameplay out of the window in favor of some GTA-esque combat racing game. I guess I'll just wait and have them explain those screens in a few days.

...please, please RARE - don't ruin it. Banjo-Kazooie was and is one my fondest childhood memories.

please god tell me the vehicles are only a small part of the game and not the main focus, if they ruin banjo-kazooie PEOPLE WILL DIE!

The new Banjo looks too wooden imo. But still better than the original.

I see far too many images of cars to have hope... :C

They said it's not going to be a racing game! They promised us! It was one of their official statements! If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go believe them against reason.

EDIT: Oh wait, it turns out I can't play the game anyway because I DON'T HAVE AN XBOX. WAY TO LOSE YOUR SINGLE BEST GAME DEVELOPER EVER, NINTENDO.

Wow. I thought I was behind on the news.

Gameplay, you guys.

I only used to watch my friends and such play the Banjo Kazooie games, but I liked what I saw. I kind of didn't get it, though.

Eh? I had already known Rare left Nintendo since it happened all those years ago. I'm not behind on the news: I'm just still angry about this particular old piece of news. STILL ANGRY. I'M ALSO STILL ANGRY ABOUT SQUARE. SEGA DOESN'T MAKE UP FOR IT.
