Ah yes, that game that will have been backed two years ago by the end of this June, making far more than the original goal and still taking its sweet, sweet time coming out after having an estimated February 2014 release date based on the Kickstarter page. I mean, I still get what you're saying, but perhaps picking a game that hasn't entered the potentially eternal delay of most big video game Kickstarter projects would have been a better idea to get your point across.

pretty much how nearly every Kickstarter game ends up

Actually I think my point still stands. Yeah, they failed to deliver on schedule, but does that matter for what I was trying to say? As you said: They made far more than their original goal - which means there is high demand for a true 3D Jump 'n Run Adventure in the spirit of Banjo. The only purpose of "A Hat in Time" is to satisfy that kind of demand. If it wasn't... nobody would care about it.

So what would be the point of Playtonic Games if they wouldn't try to meet those expectations? We have plenty of New Super Mario Bros. Games, new Donkey Kong Country games, Rayman, linear 3D Jump 'n Runs like Super Mario 3D World. etc., so something like this wouldn't be very innovative. I think just like Gears for Breakfast they are going to please the old Rare fans which are hungry for a new open world Collect-a-Thon and are willing to throw their money at them.

Sorry, I'm not trying to have a fight here, I just want to see things positive and I really don't see a reason to worry. That concept art? It's just showing the art style, not a preview of a fully finished level. There are no 3D Jump 'n Runs for PC/Steam? Awesome, then there's a market gap! And nearly everyone owns a halfway decent PC, so both fans of the Nintendo and Xbox era will be able to play. (I mean, who owns a Wii U...? I do, but I'm the minority here.) And last but not least nothing in the article sounded like they are developing a sidescroller. I can't believe they are developing a Metroid-style game and try to sell it as a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie!

Let's just wait and see, I'm sure it will be great!

Yeeeeeaaahhh! They managed to bring David Wise to the project! Holy crap.... Now I'm hyped!

Btw, the people saying that it could be a 2D side scroller make no sense to me... It seems basically impossible based on what has been informed about the game so far... It will be certainly a 3d adventure of some kind, with a major chance to be full of collectables.

I still remember the interview with these guys on G4TV...They said people love mediocre games such as donkey kong country, even though they don't know why. I have never played any of their games for the nintendo 64 beyond donkey kong 64, a ridiculously hard game due to the camera issues and controller input lag. (why do so many otherwise great nintendo 64 games surfer from this?) So over all I have very little confidence in their game development powers.

Hold on a minute...

Since listing both DKC and Banjo Kazooie, probably won't be either of those. And "Stars of the future" inspired by our "past". Past = dinosaurs, future = starfox.. so a spiritual successor to Starfox adventures? I hope not :/

Oh come on, it's still better than that shit game, Star Fox Command.

i'm calling it 2d platformer with 3dish backgrounds.

All you hecks betting it was a 2D platformer for whatever reason were hella wrong, and I'm so glad for that.

Get hype.

chavosaur · Mar 14, 2015

Information continues to come out little by little about the game, including a supposed character sneak in, in a recent game informer article.

In the words of a good friend of mine.
"I'm telling you, that's a fuckin lizard."

Well, I'm happy this is actually turning out to be a 3D adventure. We're really lacking strong full 3D platforming games these days. They just don't have as strong of a place in the market as they used to, and it will be nice to see a game from a reputable team of people breathing a little life back into the genre.

Did anyone else notice the connection? Ukulele, banjo? I'm too drunk to read this whore tread

MEET YOUR HEROES EVERYONE!!!

Introducing Yooka, and Laylee!

Yooka is the chameleon and Laylee, the bat, and if the dynamic and style seems familiar it’s because they were created by Steve Mayles, the same character artist who designed platforming icons Banjo and Kazooie and the modern Kong family during his time at Rare.
Using their unique abilities, the two characters work together to fight enemies and traverse the world around them. Yooka, being a lizard, uses his tongue like a grappling hook, while Laylee can pick up its partner and fly for a short period of time or unleash a sonar blast. The duo have a variety of moves to draw upon.

Kickstarter begins tomorrow, I will have the trailer up momentarily!

I can't link the exact trailer because I'm on mobile, so here is the official IGN report

http://m.ign.com/articles/2015/04/3...-to-banjo-kazooie-reveals-its-lead-characters

The game will be coming to Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, and PC, timing dependant in Kickstarter.

EDIT: IGN Debut Video

Digital.One.Entity · Apr 30, 2015

Nice play on words there

Looks nice really digging the characters wonder if it will have Voices....

chavosaur · Apr 30, 2015

I'm backing this thing immediately tomorrow, I cannot WAIT for this game to come out.

This is the Banjo Kazooie game we all deserve, and after watching that slight teaser, I'm so relieved at how much it LOOKS like an HD version of Banjo&Kazooie.

So much excitement.

Hyro-Sama · Apr 30, 2015

I promised myself I wouldn't support another Kickstarter, but damn is this ever tempting. I've wanted a proper Banjo-Kazooie sequel for years and Microsoft never delivered. Really, really hope this comes to fruition as Microsoft doesn't seem interested in the IP anymore..

GreenZeldaCap · Apr 30, 2015

Kazooe to Ukelele, I see what they did there.

The Real Jdbye · Apr 30, 2015

Can't say I like the characters too much. They look weird. At least the bat is kinda cute

Well, I'm sure they'll grow on me by the time the game comes out. It looks fun in what little was shown in the video, so I'll probably be picking it up on day 1 (maybe I'll back the kickstarter, depends on what rewards they offer

)
