First Banjo trailer released!

VG247: Microsoft's released the first in-game trailer of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

[killercam19]

i kno its a kids game but the graphics to me look kinda shallow in detail

[JOLLY1]

Wow, I thought there was quite a bit of depth, for something more cel-shaded. Oh a side note, the pokeballs and the Mario were hilarious.

[gaffyh]

I can see what you mean the textures look a little low-res, and the floor texture looks completely flat (i.e. no bump mapping) in some areas. But bear in mind that this is work in progress so it will be better in the final version.

The workshop thing looks like a copy of the Gummi Ship thing in Kingdom Hearts, also the title "Nuts & Bolts" sounds like it should be a Ratchet & Clank game...seriously.

[jwatt]

The water looks nice!

[sonarus]

I don't know. Judging from that trailer, this looks more like a spin off title that a Banjo sequel. Well kudos to rare for some originality but can't say it got me excited. Wasn't really excited to begin with anyway. The part where 1 ship broke off and formed a type of jet was pretty cool though

[SUP3R]

I was kinda hyped after the screenshots leaked, but this trailer left me with a huge ? on my forehead.

-EDIT-
Well my nephew liked it and that's the demographic this is mainly focused towards so it's A-OK.

[popup]

Ahhh, something different.

[Timesplitter14]

Horrible framerate (looks like 15 fps)
PS2.5-ish graphics

Gameplay looks... um... I dunno what the hell we're supposed to do in this game. Create vehicles and drive around?

[shine1396]

oh rare...what have you done?
please tell me this is for xbox live arcade edition and not full retail game...if someone told me this was n64 footage, I would have believed them...only hope is that it must be early alpha stage footage...look where super mario galaxy was and ratchet and clank reached...this looks like it is from two generations ago...

Edit: after watching the trailer more then a couple of times..I think that if they're going after lbp i.e. it is going to be marketed as the x360 equivalent to LBP, they really will get owned...seems like they're having a go at mario too...thinking big helps I suppose...I'm still muddled...why would they not turn up the heat on visual and sound side...both were really, almost 'garage' quality...here's to hoping that this is really early...

[chaosatom333]

yeah i know it's not finished or anything, but questions to ask yourself

--------who would get excited for this game except kids?

---------if they will make it hella easy?

--------- will sell or not?

I respect gears and ninja gaiden and everything, but this is not AAA or AA title in any aspect.

MICROSOFT is aiming for the kids, not anyone on this site.

[zane_7849]

Yeah.... actually I agree that I was more excited for the game before I saw that trailer. And whoever mentioned the Gummi Ship from Kingdom Hearts is right on, it immediately reminded me of that too.

I was hoping the big brass gameplay mechanic Rare was touting after the screens had been leaked, was co-op platforming. That would be something to be excited about, this ...I'm not sure now.

[prowiew]

I was hoping for a more traditional platformer.

[The Dark Knight]

i dont care what anyone says , this game looks awsome. But i do wish they released a new conkers bad fur day :)

[Xbox is the BEST]

this game does look great.

[Alcohog]

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thats not cel-shading. At all.

As for those who plan on buying this game....you have fun with that.

[solidt12]

I find it funny that everyone is talking about the technical parts of this game and no one has said anything about the gameplay or does it look fun. It looks like it could be fun but I would like to see some more gameplay other than driving around.

[Antan]

Hehe, looks fun! Looks like there are quite a few mini games if the trailers anything to go by? One to watch for sure!

[Honeal2g]

First let me say this ..did anyone see them take a shot a Nintendo? look at like the last 15 seconds...they show you a picture of Mario then they Shot a Missle at him and took him down ....lmao if only they were really competition (Rare taht is)

[predator]

dear god yes, looks fun as hell plus i can play FOOTBALL in it hahaha (soccer to you yanks)

[BIoodmask]

I just wish the video quality wasn't so poor/pixelated.

[green]

Very impressive.Flying,driving,sail ing and still retaining the traditional platformer elements that made the original great.

Great to also see the music notes as well.

[White-Sharingan]

wtf is that

there is more racing than platforming

[predator]

you have seen 2 mins...how can you come up with that conclusion? if you have xbox live go to inside xbox and watch the interview with Rare that has just bee posted, it shows more footage plus the dev saying that its mostly platforming with the option of flying and driving

[White-Sharingan]

*swooshes off to Xbox Live*

[PimpHandHappy]

so these games hold no sway on me

not to say some ppl dont like em because some ppl do

the question is

is the 360 user base this type of gamer?

[predator]

20 mill sold nearly im sure there is people there that just dont like FPS..same could be said about the PS3 at the moment so that question is irrelevant

[green]

Well Viva Pinata has sold over 1.2million copies with very little promotion from Microsoft.So if that game can do that then this will definately do more and expect alot of marketing for this game.

And honestly, i am temporarily sick of FPS.i want more variety and i have not played a platformer in ages so will definately pick this up.

[Lord Vader]

I agree in that I'm personally not interested in this game just like Ratchet didn't do anything for me either... but I'm sure alot of younger gamers like my nephews (& some older too) will love this game. I think it will sell very well actually.

[nirwanda]

Viva Pinata had very little promotion are you joking they produced an entire tv series based around the game to launch with the game.

[Mcrmarcher]

looks fun, love the first banjo game, i have high expetations for this one.

[wow4u]

Same here, it looks better and better every time they release information.

There is much yet to be learned, like some details on multiplayer.

Oh, and I _LOVED_ the Launch-platform-ejects-flyer only to shoot that big mario.

Did you notice the big mario seemed to be constructed by different items stacked? like a big pile of "stuff".

Looks spectacular.

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

the old Banjo's were fun this one looks terrible

[Milky]

Yh i dont understand what its all about, is it a racer or platformer ?
Oh and that music was disgusting.

[nightmareluffy1]

It looks like mix of several different genre's.(GTA PLATFORMER RACER SHOOTER FLIGHT SIMULATOR...LEGO ) The vehicle customization reminds me of the kingdom hearts gummi ship. It will be interesting too see if they can put all this stuff together and make it work.(fun) But does it excite me...no.
It doesn't me get all worked up like mario galaxy did...if you can even compare the two. I will say this it looks great graphic wise. All thats
left now is whether its fun or not.

[Odion]

LOL OMG

Mario got OWNED

[Blademask]

I wonder if banjo will sell more than any Mario title.

[jtucker78]

Now, I've said a lot of bad things about the Wii in the past as I really don't rate the machine very highly as a piece of hardware, but Mario on the other hand is King of Platformers.

That isn't to say Banjo & Kazooie 3 won't be good, but Galaxy is a phenomenal game that even on the Wii plays like a dream. It is so innovative and has so many great ideas, plays so well and the control is so tight that it makes most other developers look bad.

That's not to say BK3 won't be better, who knows right, its not even finished yet, BUT it is going to have a real challenge to come close to Galaxy.

[DJ]

I didn't even notice that.

[JOLLY1]

at the end of the vid, where Mario get blown up....get it?

*EDIT* did you even watch the video dj?

[wow4u]

No, DJ probably didnt watch the video. He and the gaggle of regular Sony Cheerleaders just pile into every Xbox 360 thread to trash every title.

Its ruined N4G completely.

[Imalwaysright]

Looks really fun. I just wish that everything wasnt so square-ish but that doesnt really matter.

[DevilsJoker]

Errrr???? A racer?

[nevelo07]

oh my god that looks like so much crap

[360 man]

if that looked like crap then rachet and clabnk must look like sh1t

[xboxftw]

@ nevel

Did u just look in the mirror? Told ur mom not to do a chimp. Look how nevel turned out.

[AngryXbot]

BABY Kazooie confirmed!

Animation is shiat.
Lighting is ok.
Gameplay is viva pinata meats baby mario.
Textures are bland and non existant.
Visuals are sharp and ok I guess.
Sound is baby.
Soundtrack non existant.

Have fun with BABY KAZOOIE, xbots.

[shadow_hearts]

That looks like a wii game

LOL x360 suitable for wii games like Gears2 --ofcourse it is wii like vs KZ2

[chaosatom333]

where is pog and mart, i wanna laugh at their faces.

[Twist96]

They rly need some mip-mapping, or the next gen eqivlent. Also, I would agree that Banjo looks too 'boxy'. Other than that, it looks bright and colourful, and most importantly looks really fun to play, and for a game that has many months to be released, looks just fine graphically, apart from my critisms obviously.

Agree?

[tplarkin7]

I've never played the Banjo games, but this looks cool.

[bigshynepo]

Call it a rent if only for the Mario reference that looked kinda hilarious.

[Vojkan]

Not really, who are they to make fun of mario?

[Vojkan]

Meh looks okey, Ratchet pawns this graphically, i am not going to comment gameplay yet, but i will give it a try once it gets released.

[Blademask]

Doesnt' look to be the case here. The game seems sparse as far as action goes. Looks like you get to play in a ghost town. I think this will affect the gameplay.. Although the gameplay looks epic, i mean you can build your own ship from prefabricated parts! Now thats cool. And it appears you can stack up lego/crates with the physics.

I cant pretend the graphics are amazing either when you have games that look like:
http://www.britishgaming.co...

Banjo right now is looking a bit brighter than:
http://images.multiplayer.i...

Doesn't appear that the Banjo is going to be confused or claimed fake/cgi screens like Ratchet was, thats for sure.

edit@ vespertine

Use your ignore feature.

[Vespertine]

If you wish to talk about Ratchet and "CGI graphics", go to the open zone and let fans of Banjo discuss this video.

Edit: I realize now that you did talk about the video in your comment, I apologize.

[JimmyHACK]

Anyone else have that main thought when watching??

I am optimistic, although i would have preffered a Kameo sequel.

[Adamalicious]

IDK - Viva Piñata, IMO, looks better than that.

[RAF-TECH]

The Library is diverse.
And the games itself is diverse..

So much fun...
Custom games, Custom Vehicles, Platform Action!!!
This game already Owns

[shadow_hearts]

Bioshock /mass effect and gears on PC too. Bioshock and Me are coming to PS3 too

R&C looks much better than any x360 platformer.

halo is gaylo3at 520p

xbot...there is 0 games on x360.

oh yea GEARS 2 looks like a piece of sh*t vs KZ2

http://www.gamersyde.com/ne...

[pp]

Actually rachet and clank was just borrrring and crap

[digger18]

I bet it was boring for you, since thats all ya mommy will let you play.

[RAF-TECH]

My friend's girl got him Ratchet as a present for his new PS3.
OMG. that game is so boring. prety graphics.. but very boring.

But looking at Banjo... looks impressive + Gameplay.

[kingboy]

Get a job kid and stop trolling on N4G

[dork0783]

that realy impressed me alot and in 1:45 did you guys notice MARIO or is it just me.

[kewlkat007]

and I'm sure other functions(customizations).

Reminds me of the building different (Boats) for the new Zelda on NDS.

It has a little bit of everything, the game looks fun. Gameplay is where it's at.

[Mwaan]

This game is a really big deal to me now.

[RAF-TECH]

what is the point of bringin up ratchet?

This game is has more gameplay in it.. Just by looking at the trailers.

[mistertwoturbo]

I'm sorry, but this would have been a great Nintendo title. I understand the hype for Gears of War 2, but this doesn't look all that great. I'm definitely going to at least rent this though to see what's it all about.

[InMyOpinion]

I'll wait until the trailer is out on gametrailers. Gamevideos always have sh!t quality.

[DJ]

Excited about. If you want an impressive platformer, get Mario Galaxy or Ratchet & Clank: Future.

*EDIT: Well explain why you felt the game was boring. What did you think was wrong with it?

[RAF-TECH]

Seems like you have not played banjo.
It reached the same benchmark/gameplay as Mario64.

Ratchet and clank was drop dead boring. Seriously.. you think ratchet is that great??... dead boring.

Mario and Ratchet doesnt even come close to gameplay variations.
Mario Party?

[digger18]

My daughter is getting pretty excited about this game. When's it due to be released?

[titntin]

I hope its fun to play, though I kind of wanted a lot more platforming and allot less vehicular stuff.

I know I'll get flamed for saying so, but I'm seriously underwhelmed by the engine on display here. Theres not much on screen, the draw distance looks extremely limited, the lighting looks flat and the characters and much of the scenery looks low poly? At least from the still images we've seen, the texture resolution is high, and I've no problem with the fun and colourful art direction which is great, but the technology of the engine looks very rough to me.
Obviously thats not a statement on the technical abilities of the platform - we've seen so many very capable engines that the 360 doesn't have to prove anything, but I am concerned at what we are seeing here, as this looks a back wards step, and I would have thought Rare were able to squeeze a lot more from the box.

Of course, if its brilliant fun and has great art direction, then the tech doesn't matter, but surely some of you other guys looking at this must be a bit disappointed with the engine as well?

[RAF-TECH]

cuz you can't see the great gameplay this game offers.
but that's okay.
Your probably playing lair... the game with superior graphics

[DJ]

But it definitely came at the cost of physics, geometry, and a number of other things. I know I'll get a bunch of hate comments from the less technically inclined, but this seems to be growing trend amongst titles on this platform. The biggest technical leap I saw was Gears of War 1, and since then I haven't seen anything that really tops it besides GTA IV.

The platform has two major bottlenecks in its hardware, so this stuff just goes hand-in-hand with what we've been talking about for years. As soon as you push one area really hard, the other areas begin to suffer.

*But what's Raf-tech smokin'? Lair was not a good looking game. Actually, I have no clue why he's bringing up Lair in the first place. We're talking about Banjo.

[titntin]

@RAF-TECH actually I'm playing GTA on the 360, but what's that got to do with anything??

I specifically said I hoped there was great gameplay! Quite how you can confirm that I don't know, but maybe your a beta tester for Rare?
If not, then you're just guessing and speculating and hoping like the rest of us.

[thenickel]

What is your deal seriously? You are obviously on Sony's payroll because you can never give the 360 any ounce credit! Most sony or 360 only fans give credit where it is due but you on the other hand always seem to brush off any type of 360 related news! This game looks fun and nobody here seems to be worried about system specs or what it looks like! We just want a fun platformer and thats what this game is shaping up to be! I'm really staring to wonder who you really are and why your so bent on attacking any good 360 news!

[wow4u]

I think they're showing the vehicle construction elements because its a unique game mechanic.

Rare is expanding the genre of "platformer" and wants to show off some of the new ideas.

Frankly, it looks terrific. Look at the end -- a platform that explodes into the air to release an airplane? Thats just awesome.

[mistertwoturbo]

The screenshots that were released were actually bullshots. I think the resolution of the images were something like 2880p or something like that.

Source: http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

[Vespertine]

It looks quite impressive.

I don't understand why theres so many people on here already saying negative things about it. This is one video of an entire game, people need to stop criticizing it already.

It looks great, the graphics are vibrant and colorful, the gameplay looks fun. It makes a change from all of the gloomy "realistic" games we've been shown for the past couple of weeks.

[Mu5afir]

90% of that trailer was building make-shift cars and racing them. Let's hope this isn't the "wow" factor Rare was talking about. Because this is by no means a platformer, more like a open world racer with custom built rides.

Let's hope they show off more trailers with actual platforming, or else this might turn out to be another in a series of disappointments. You know, platformer + racer = disaster.

Example: DD Kong Racing / Jack 3 / Crash Racing etc..

[jkhan]

The game looks fun but graphically it needs a lot of work. I mean come on from character models to environments nothing really make it compete against other titles from the same genre.

[kewlkat007]

but what other titles you talking about? and you have played?

R&C????

[bootsielon]

Xbots, you're in for a treat! But anyway I don't know how good was Rare's decision of focusing so much on vehicles. And again, judging from Rare's latest track record, I'm still skeptic, but who knows, this might just bring the good rare back again.

This game might just give the Xbox 360 the casual appeal it never had, the way Mario and Little Big Planet do for their respective consoles.

BTW, "RAF", you might think ratchet was boring, but not the millions that bought it and the press that gave it a 9.0 average on metacritic (give or take).

[clintos59]

Like I said in other Banjo 3 threads, looks good and pretty fun but I prefer LBP over this. I mean thats great u can build ships and stuff but I still think id have alot more fun building a level in LBP and letting other people around the world play the level I created and rating it. Ratchet and Clank still set the bar graphically for platformers and was tons of fun and seems ratchet will stay graphically superior, and I agree with many people here that Mario Galaxy is still the best of them all when it comes to platforming games. None the less this will be a great game for xbox 360 owners, since they dont have any platforming games.

[wow4u]

I think many people are going to be disappointed when they find out how LBP plays.

It is a 2D-side scroller physics puzzle game. Its not a "platformer" with AI enemies.

Personally, the LBP gameplay mechanic leaves a lot to be desired. If LBP had been a "make your own platformer" it would be more interesting, but it is a physics puzzle-game.

[likeaboss302]

This wasn't a very well put together trailer. The graphics look like upscaled Wii stuff. The game world looks very barren. The vehicles are cool but I really wasn't seeing any traditional platform stuff. It just looks too open world of me. I like that in a GTA but with this kind of game structure is better as it progresses a story.

[BlackIceJoe]

I can't believe some people think Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts looks awful because to me it looks great. Plus that is Rare style so why all the hate. I loved the past two ones so I know I will like this one too. So I can't wait to play it.

[name]

What the hell was that

[Vespertine]

It was a trailer for Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

Or Banjo Kazooie 3

[TheBronxxx]

You can download the trailer in "HD" kind of. It looks a lot better than the video posted in standard def. They gotta bump that animation framerate up. It looks better than I'd thought it would but still...

[name]

I dunno it kinda seems like a wii game. I was hoping they'd focus more on the platforming and not the mini games.

[Xi]

the trailer was going a bit too fast for me to keep up with a lot of it. It looks fun, but i want to see more platforming.

[smokeymicpot]

The game seems like it will do good. The graphics seem weird but that probably because im watching it on a computer

[Superfragilistic]

A vehicle-sandbox-platformer with user generated content and Mario Kart like multiplayer! I'm in. :)

[akkuga]

I have been waiting ages for this game, and I have to say this is not what I wanted to see. If it took Rare this long to create this vehicle creation thing, then we probably would of a had a better Banjo game had they sticken with the main formula and made a platformer that the fans wanted! Uggh!

[ilkercruiser]

Viva Pinata and Kameo...
Both of them have beautiful graphics and RockSolid 30FPS.
Not Ps2.5ish gfx!

[Obama]

so you play as a retarded bear who roams around with his pink vehicle?

[AngryXbot]

They dont really have many options, now do they?

Look at their line up for crying out loud lol.

[xboxftw]

Just like u obama.

[Ace Ventura]

Here's the game that's going to absolutely DESTROY the FLOPbox 360's "line-up", Including Gears 2.

This game is going to kill everything on 3fixme. In Quality, Reviews, Length, Epic-ness, Gameplay, Story telling. EVERYTHING.

Xbox 360 will be destroyed.

[Tyrael]

i wonder what kind of animals the shaman will turn you into now...

[wass007]

sorry hell no!!!! millions and millions of people some even non-ps3 owners are lookin forward to little big planet who the hells lukin forward 2 banjo tooie ermmmmmm bots

[LevDog]

Grand Theft kazooie.. Come on thats ridiculous... 360 fans are actually getting excited about this??

[tonytouchx]

damn i was hyped for this game and after seeing this,it look horrible,freaking rachet and clank looks better:(

[Unknown]

underwhelming. How in the heck could MS let this cat out the bag. I never thought I would say something like this as I'm no fan boy,but this game really made me lose hope in the 360 alittle bit. I mean, its like there're trying so hard to be a pixar like movie but they're failing miserable. RARE used to have this stuff nailed down. I know its a work in progress so I'll give RARE the benefit of a doubt.But SONY is looking real good right now......

[Jandre02]

You almost gotta feel sorry for them. Banjo doesn't look amazing at all. Its MAYBE on par with Ratchet and Clank, but it clearly has a lot less going on on-screen.

Sorry Xbox fans but once again, I dont know why anyone thought that the xbox360 would be amazing this generation. Its been confirmed less powerful, all the big developers are either going to be multiplatform or PS3 exclusive. Selling 18million consoles isnt enough to change the fact that the Playstation brand is the preferred brand. Less hardware sales, only one exclusive game this year thats even worth mentioning. On top of that, next year will be even worse with no Gears or Halo! Gears 3 will most likely be multiplatform. Its just looking really grim.

If I only owned a 360 I would trade it in now. When MGS4 comes out the only answer for Microsoft will be to drop price in NA. That will mean your losing a lot of money right there on a trade in and, unless you absolutely NEED gears, all the good games for the rest of the generation will be on the PS3. Not all exclusive, but they will all be on the PS3. But hell, some of you are hardcore enough to call Banjo Threeie an amazing game so you'll probably miss out on all the PS3 exclusives just so you dont feel like a "traitor". A damn shame, lol

[gamermoney1985]

u know what i am really geting tired of u facking fanboys, thats sony and microsoft fanboys,. imean dam yall need to get a facking life u are loyal to a brand and for what, what the is so diffeent ab out ur consoe that makes it better yhan the other both have great games great graphigs and from what i seen when it comes to which one is the most powerful there there still isn't a clear winner. but one ting that really up set me is when u compare kz2 and gow2 u people start calling one game gray but been realestic killzone dose look grayer then gears, thats just fact thats properly why it looks better. but like i said brand loyaltyis for fools how can u know how good anothe console is if u don' give it a chance. u see i don't have to wonder because un like most of u i do have all 3 console a pc for gamming, well really the wii is for my little girl but i still play it sometimes.

[jcfilth]

you still don't know which is the better and more powerful console???
where have you been??
you don't whatch the news??
browse the internet??
you live under a rock??
have you heard what the developers comment?

c'mon man YOU KNOW which is the better console!

[TechnicalBS]

No platforming? Are you kidding me. If there's more vehicles gameplay than actual platforming, this game is going to be a disappointment.

[THWIP]

...and that's all I really care about. People can take shots at the 360 lineup all they want...but there's just not enough variety on the PS3 to suit me and my spouse, ATM. And don't bring up R&C:F, because that's more of a kiddie shooter, than a true platformer. My wife doesn't like shooting or blowing things up, so....

[andron]

Maybe Rare have got their mojo back?

360 needs some quality kids games, and Banjo and co. could turn out to be one...

[jonboi24]

Big props out to Rare for trying to do something different with this but as a big Banjo fan who owned the first two games I'm a little disappointed with this trailer. I know if this trailer had a higher-res or was in HD we would get a better feel for the graphics but as of know it looks like an upscaled Wii game. Now considering that this is still in development it will most likely look way better than this when its released. Rare knows how to get the most out of a console, just look what they did with the Donkey Kong series, the first two Banjo games on the N64 and their earlier 360 games. Now for the lego-like vehicle gameplay it looks promising but it seems to steer away from the classic platforming action that Banjo is known for. Seeing as the trailer mainly focused on the new lego vehicle gameplay and didn't show much on the platform gameplay I can only hope that the solid platform gameplay is still there. Rare are great at developing games so I have very little doubt that this game won't be anything but great but after seeing this trailer that little doubt grows a little bit bigger.

The cheap shot at Mario was kinda funny but if they want to take on Mario they better wave the white flag because as we all know Mario owns Banjo and has done more for gaming than Banjo have ever done.

[Grassroots]

I'm excited about the return of Banjo, not sure what to think about the game play is leading to a more racing style of game or platformer. Need to find more information of the exact details. Look entertaining enough.

[PoSTedUP]

theirs no doubt in my mind that banjo wont sell considering how many winey little 12 yr olds their are on XBL due to halo.

[ChefDejon]

guys really like this? like seriously?

[etownone]

as a big 360 supporter and someone that has played and loved banjo games on N64, this game doesn't feel the same. Emphasis too much on vehicles.... wasn't it supposed to have gameplay like Mario?!!?

and the graphics....hate to admit it, but Ratchet did look better. much better actually. (dammit)

[pshizle]

not my type of game but doesnt meen its going to be bad

[n00bPwner]

HOLY F*CK!!!!! that video is amazing! I'm sold.

I really hope you droids enjoy your flat, 2D levels in Kiddy Big World! LOL.

[hotshot127]

little big planet will be a gaming event. rachet and clank is MILES AND MILES better then this game. truly you guys sound pathectic when you have to hype up.........what is it called..........banjo?

[hahahabutt]

Looks like Banjo is in his own GTA 4 world..lol (inside joke)and look at 43 seconds, it looks like warhawk Banjo style.. Game looks great.

[hotshot127]

it's funny because this game is being hyped up right now by you kids like its some type of gaming epidemic waiting to happen...............please let this game go unoticed because i can GURANTEE YOU 360 fanboys that ps3 fanboys will eat you guys apart when this game comes out against little big planet.

just like i tell ps3 fanboys that haze will suck monkey balls(at least according to reviews) but hey...........nobody wants to listen

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I agreed with you until Haze. It's not like the PS3 even NEEDS Haze at this point...it's just that 4-player online from one system is new to the PS3. Halo 3 had it because Free Radical announced it would be in Haze. The storyline will be great, from what we've all seen. That demo hinted at there being a 3rd party in the war too...possibly some type of animal or alien. (Crysis, anyone?)

That demo was over a year old. I think, if nothing else, it will be a solid shooter with average reviews. It will probably get torn apart though...for these reasons:

1. It's on the PS3
2. It's not Call of Duty 4
3. It's not in the Halo series
4. People want Resistance 2...not this.

[Kugar77]

my respect for banjo and kazooie just went out the window. i honestly dont think the game looks good

[pcz]

This game looks awful.

Last generation graphics- in the way it looks unnatural, cardboardy like a playstation game..

Flickering graphics, unstable frame rate, it looks unstable.. it reminds me of how ds games look..

The level design looks meh.. No wonder nintendo let them go.. it looks devoid of any charm. awful

[hotshot127]

it really makes you guys look............desperate.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I don't know which way you mean that...

If you mean it the way I think you do...you're right. It would be really hard to surpass the Pixar style of gameplay that Insomniac pulled off with Tools of Destruction.

[hotshot127]

i just realized that you said "HOLY FU*K!!!" SERIOUSLY MAN, 4 YOU'RE OWN WELL-BEING.................... ..STOP!

what in the hell are you excited about?!

[DivDee]

What have they done to ya boy?

Seriously though, thats one potential 360 buy off the list.

[joeynox]

anyone complaing about graphics or framerate are on crack. The video looks to ve compressed and low res and for some reason any video i watch on here from GT always skips but when I watch it on live or on another site the video runs smooth also the models were designed to looks kind of blockish.I apsolutely loved ti especially the water part

[saphiron]

Kinda disapointed over this in a way. The graphic style is nice, stil got the charm. Love the cloth trees, but I don't wanna build stupid machines. I want a platformer, not a open world driving game.. Why do they feel they need to change it all that much. And kazooies new move, lifting blocks?! There are almost no platformers out this generation, and I really miss em. Just my opinion.. But hey, this may turn out really great also..

[TheKungFool]

So now that "Killzone 2" looks every bit as good as "Gears 2", and "Metal Gear Solid 4" is looking better than "Ninja Gaiden II", and Alan Wake has been delayed......

"BANJO 3" is going to be the saving grace of the 360!?!?

LOL, enjoy your exclusive :)

[steck67]

Looks fun. To me it kind of looks like a racing/sandbox/adventure game.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

And after all that hype...

[ScottEFresh]

Is that for the Wii?

[bigjclassic]

anybody expecting a trditional Banjo game is gonna be disapointed. I NOW know why Nintnendo sold them. Looks like a platformer/kart racer.
I feel bad for 360 only owners.

[Rhezin]

your d!ck breath is reeking...DAMN! Please it's embarassing...get off your knees sony fangirls.

[RiceBoy]

bwahahahaha... i feel sorry for 360... -no comment...

[Ziggi]

..This Isnt PLatforming This is racing on crappy looking planes, is this meant to be Banjo Pilot or what?!?

Yes maybe aimed at kids however people such as myself who played the first two in their youth would want a good sequel. This looks nothing like the others, its just G A Y Planes. If it aint broke dont fix it.
At least i dont have to get another 360 now..unless they change it back :)

FLOP!!!

edit: this may not even sell well as most of their fanbase are nintendo fanboys

[tudors]

low res trailer.

[dogseye_deadhorse]

wow graphics look really bad kinda. mabey its just their art direction?
well i liked this game when i was 12 but i dont no how it would go down with me now although i liked ratchet and clank. is it gonna be the same type of game??

[badkolo]

flop

theres no way thats the whole game, that must be a driving part and no tthe actual game, cause if not flop confirmed

[The Closing]

They aren't considering this Banjo 3 are they? I mean from the look of the footage it looks like a racing spin off. Ofc a lot is still unknown at this point, but why have the first footage be mainly racing if that's not the case?

Anyhow I played the first Banjo on my 64 when I was younger, and enjoyed it. I just don't get whats wrong with people these days. I'd imagine most people here are old enough not to really care about a game like this, and yet since it's an exclusive all the sudden people are acting as though they like it? Then they go knock wii games when it could practically be a wii style game. I mean I own a ps3, and even though Little Big Planet looks innovational I'm not really at all interested in it. It's not like the 360 doesn't have two really good exclusives such as Ninja Gaiden 2, and especially Gears 2(although this will come out on the pc as well.) So far this just doesn't look so good no matter how you look at it.

[Horny]

Im a banjo fan but I have no idea what this is about. Well first of all the game doesnt look that bad, why does everything have to be about graphics these days, the game is not even finished.
Also this doesnt really feel like the old banjo games, seems like they tried to compete with LBP with constructing stuff. I do hope it will be more of a traditional platformer once it comes out.

[The Closing]

Definitely reminded me of LBP.

[Salta_nelas]

I think xbox fans talk much but wont buy this game, its simply not their kind of games.

Looks good, but nothing amazing, we ve seen better.

[jcfilth]

OMG!!!! what have they done to Banjo??????????
How could they f@kc up this game so much?????
this is nothing like what Banjo used to be!!!

The First one will always be the best as I see.

If any of you played the first one, then you know what I mean. Not even the sequels to the first one were better, NOT EVEN THIS!! WTH??!!
RARE is going from bad to worst!! take those stupid cars out of the game!!!

[ghostman123]

If this were any other game, I would be excited, but to me this simply isn't the Banjo Kazooie I grew up with.

[iiprotocolii]

but I must say that the game lacks something. I don't know, but to me this game just seems dull. I mean yea the fact you can customize your vehicles is awesome but would I really want to spend my entire time playing a game where I customize mu vehicle to then go race it? I loved Banjo on the N64... this one looks like it's going to flop, personally.

I must say, Rare has REALLY been disappointing lately. Kameo was a good game...just wasn't great. Perfect Dark Zero was a flop; it's like, seriously, what are these guys doing? They were kings during N64 days. Now they're just questionable developers. Not trying to compare but when sided by Ratchet (even during it's early developmental stages) Banjo looks... well... last-gen to be honest. I just hope that this game turns out to be good. I have a 360 and don't want it collecting dust.

[pcz]

I mean, it looks like a totally different game to the other banjo games..

It looks as if rare made a new game and then at the last minuet decided to use banjo and kazooie as the characters (to help it sell)..

If you go to the video source, you can download the video, the quality is better.. it still looks odd though..

Banjo used to be a warm character who's games were full of charm.. judging from this trailer, all that charm is absent, it just looks really geeky..

The graphical style is similar to the blinx game (xbox) ... it really does look pants
