what happened to platforming? this game looks awful now, the driving doesn't even look entertaining, cool art style at least

Oo la la...a personal attack...

Its interesting you bring up "Mario Galaxy, Twilight Princess, Brawl, Metroid Prime or Super Paper Mario" as I've played them all.

Here is how I feel about Twilight princess...first post.

Mario Galaxy a rehash in my eyes but a good one.

Brawl is completely a rehash with a fun one player quest.

Metroid prime 3 a rehash with new control scheme.

Super paper mario is the best game out of all...I liked that one.

I still stand in saying Nintendo is the king of re-releases with upgraded graphics and tweeked gameplay. You forgot Mario Kart Wii...

In any case, Im done posting here as it will become a personal attacks topic. Banjo 3 looks cool. Looks like it may have a great online multiplayer, inventive gameplay and will look better than any platformer in recent memory apart from R&C.

For anyone that doesn't like change...sorry. I was pissed when Sonic went 3D too...but I got over it. When the game gets good reviews, you may change your minds as well.

The vehicle editor reminded me of the Kingdom Hearts gummie bear editor

 Don't recall me saying this looks bad, just different. And there were people upset with Resident Evil 4's change in direction as well, albeit I wasn't one of them mainly because after over a dozen games between all the remakes and spin-offs I had found the Resident Evil series had become very stale. Banjo-Kazooie has only had four games in the last ten years excluding this one. One of which was a lack luster in-between-quel for the GBA and another was a racing spin-off, also for the GBA. So there would seem to be less demand to shake things up.

Uhm could rare or microsoft get sued because of the mario sign?

I loved the N64 Banjo games and I was really hoping this one will exceed what the previous games offered.

It's.... very different from I was expecting and even thoug the features look very promising, it feels that is way off from what the good old Banjo games were. It takles many interesting concepts but it may not be what us fans wanted.

It's the first trailer and more in game demos are required to actually judge the game... but is not what it used to be :(

Impressive. I played the N64 games when I was a kid. I am very excied for this game

 Yea and GTA4 is a rehash of 3, MGS4 is a rehash of 3, COD4 is a rehash of every other shooter in existance, Guitar hero is the same damn thing, the list could go on forever.  

Your examples are horrendous, first Resident Evil 4 and now Sonic?  These are natural, obvious progressions for the genre.  Mario or Sonic becoming a 3d platformers is obvious, Resident Evil dropping its flawed pre-rendered backround system with bad controls and terrible camera is an obvious progression for the genre.  

Banjo building, racing, and blowing up vehicles is not a damn natural progression.  It's not even the same fucking genre, not even close.  You aren't improving the platformer, you're simply not making a platformer anymore.  

The platformer could use a good game much more than the racing, flying, blowing up vehicles genre could.  This game has a new style, but it's not all that different from all the other games that 360 fans have been playing.  This isn't innovating as much as it is conforming. 

As a concept is interesting, as a sequel of two good plataformers is horrible... the game could en up been good, but most of us want a good old Banjo plataformer...

This game looks horrible. Definitely not buying it. Thanks Microsoft. You've ruined on of my favorite game series'.
