Well eeeeexcuuuuuuse me princess, Apparently you've got better eyesight than me seeing as how you determined exactly what capacity the vehicles are being used for, and that they are in fact largely unnecessary if you don't like them, from the video that is 95% vehicle combat and RACING footage. And unfortunately, art and physics don't in themself make a good game.

I planned on buying this day one, and am a HUGE Banjo-kazooie fan, so put away your fan-boy label gun. This is just a crappy turn for the franchise, and looking at the topic, alot of people agree with me.

Well... at least Patches is back.

Other than that... I dunno. I'm a little disappointed to see that only 1/15 of the video was actual platforming, but who knows? I'll wait to see what becomes of the bear and bird duo. Looked gorgeous though, good to know that Rare can create some beautiful and colorful worlds. Also, minus points for calling this game "Nuts and Bolts"... it's "Banjo-Threeie" I tell ya!

So in the end I went from "ZOMG Banjo-Threeie Get!" to "We'll wait and see what becomes of 'Nuts and Bolts'".

As we can see, they have tried to do something that would reach out to the 360's demographic. It seems to have very little in common with what the franchise was in the N64 days.

To me, Rare has lost all hope of ever returning to their former glory.

Gamespot has a hands-on that is pretty positive:

Worth a read.  After hearing about the customization options it sounds like it could be very fun.  I've enjoyed the Rare 360 games so far (well PDZ was rushed garbage) and this looks like it could be a solid experience.  I'm not going to write it off from the trailer and not knowing how the game plays.  Rare said months ago that the game wasn't going to be a traditional platformer so I'm thinking that whoever hoped for that was just setting themselves up for disappointment. 

The video is in youtube too:

And there goes all hope I had for the game............

That was pretty cool,vehicles ain't so bad.

This game looks awesome!
After some of the comments already here, i hope this game gets high reviews to shut you all up:)

AND don't judge a game that isn't even out yet duh.
Rare have said do not judge the game until it is released.

ugh, not what i wanted at all. It might end up being a good game, but for banjo fans it doesn't make sense. I know they want to reach the 360 userbase, but what 360 really needs to make the system more rounded is a traditional platformer, not some vehicle blow up fighting action mania game. Stuff like this gives me little hope that the 360's demographics will change.

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.
