....That is....terrible. So much potential wasted...they turned one of the best platformers of the N64 generation into a Twisted metal/GTA/mariokart game. I was so frikkin pumped for this, and now I have lost about 90% of my interest in it. What the hell was that?

The end is just sad too. It reeks of the old Crash Bandicoot commercials. Many have come and tried to dethrone Mario, and all have failed and turned into 3rd rate stars (crash, spyro, Sonic). Looking at this video, I don't think Mario has much competition.

I guess you've already played the game..... or basically just have bad eyesight... the game is a platformer with lego vechicles, and the art and physics look so fuckin unbelieavable. Vechicles are used to reach hard to get jigsaws, or you could just play like the old banjo games if you want.

This thread is about banjo, so thanks for derailing the thread with stupid fanboyish comments.


No, I think they made it clear that this game has more of a focus on vehicles than platforming. And that sucks. The game might turn out well...but it's already not what I wanted.

Don't tell us what we can't like...sure we haven't seen enough to judge the finished game, but already they've pissed off tons of fans that wanted just more of the Banjo Kazooie platforming we love. That's not our fault.


Yeah, they should have done what nintendo does. Remake the same game over and over and upgrade graphics and backgrounds... Shame on you Rare for trying something different.

I personally didn't care much for Banjo before but now this looks like a must play as it looks like it won't be the same 3D platformer we've all been playing since Mario 64.


Uh, there were only 2 Banjo Kazooie games on the N64. They completely skipped the last generation.

I don't think most would have minded another traditional Banjo platformer...in fact I'm pretty sure that's what near everybody did want.

Different =/= better. Maybe an awesome, expanded platformer, similar to how SMG did it, would be AMAZING. They could have huge worlds, plenty of new moves, whatever...they could have added these vehicles on the side even.

Nobody wanted something different, that's the point. We wanted the Banjo we loved only bigger and better. This looks more like a spin-off if anything.

To be fair I never thought the game would turn out well anyway. The weird character models, hints at a strange gameplay mechanic, and Rare's sparkling reputation tipped me off long ago.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
