New Banjo will shake up "stale" platform adventuring genre, says Rare

VG247: Banjo Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts dev lead Gregg Mayles reckons platform adventuring of old is over - and the new Rare game is the true evolution.

"It's true that anyone wanting a carbon copy of the previous two games will be disappointed, so I'm not even going to make out that it is," he said in a live chat with Rare fansites.

"What I believe it to be is an evolution of the platform adventure genre. The genre is too stale: it needed shaking up, so we're trying something different, but within the framework of a 'traditional' Banjo game."
