- RARE says they didn't want to make a hi res version of the old Banjo platformer.
- You create vehicles with parts you find around the levels.- GI says their first vehicles was a 4 wheeled kart with a spring attached to the bottom that allowed them to jump things. They later found a helicopter blade that allowed their kart to fly. Later they added balloons to the vehicle and put the blade on the back and created a hovercraft.
- RARE showed them a vehicle that was a monster truck that was able to detach its chasis to become a mini bike. When the bike ramped off a cliff it revealed collapsible glider wings and started flying.- There will be 1,600 parts including weapons that you'll be able to attach to the vehicles.
- The town is called Showdown Town.
- GI says that despite the large focus on vehicles it still features platform elements from the previous games like traditional platforming, tight rope walking and jiggy piece collecting.
- Showdown Town is 16 times larger than anything RARE has created before.
- Every level has a different intro. Nutty Acres begins with a credits spoof of 80's soap opera's like Dallas.
- Note collecting is back and will act has currency that'll allow you to bu vehicle blueprints.
- RARE says there are 15 different challenges spread across 6 different levels. There will also be side missions.
I can confirm the existence of a new Xbox accessory codenamed : Lips
A couple months ago I got a hold of a treasure trove of information straight from the internal working of the engineering team at Xbox. I learned a heck of a lot what was really going on with the Red Ring of Death, New Xbox 360 motherboard designs and I learned about three accessories that they are working on.
Newton
Lips
Radon iv
******* has a post up about how the dudes over at NeoGaf have found that Microsoft is scheduled to show off something called Lips tomorrow. Now that matches up with the reports that Ive seen on the accessories development report coming out of the hardware team at Xbox.
Lips : I really dont know too much about what it is going to be. I suspect that it is going to be a voice communication device and possible voice recognition in games.
Newton : Newton is the Wiimote clone flying mouse that is going to bring the waggle willies to the Xbox.
Radon iv : We dont know to much about it but I suspect that it is a cost cutting engineering revision to the Xbox wireless controller. So there might be a price cut coming for the wireless game pad once this is out. The iv part sounds like a cost cutting revision.
So I dont have an invitation to Microsoft Gamerday 08 in San Fransisco so Ill be refreshing my web browser to find out just what the heck the Xbox team is going to show off tomorrow.
Hey Xbox360Fanboy.com! Update :
Lips is a codename for a piece of hardware that is going to have something to do with voice communications. The reason why I did not mention it before is that I was not sure what exactly it was but when ******* and NeoGAF broke word of it being shown tomorrow I just wanted raise my hand and say that I knew that it is a piece of hardware too.
Update 2 : Or it might be a microphone for a singing game like Rockband, Karaoke Revolution and Singstar. I do know that Lips is a separate accessory project from the "Newton" wand.

That confirms what a lot of people were thinking, interesting. I'm wondering how this game will play.Mithos Yggdrasill said:WTF to this vehicle-thing. And WTF to the title.
WTF? It sounds friggin awesome!Mithos Yggdrasill said:WTF to this vehicle-thing. And WTF to the title.

1,600 parts with insanely customisable vehicle creation?
Traditional platforming too?
Awesome unique Rare-humoured intros to every level?
Can't friggin wait.
We've only seen the Nutty Acres(mechanical) and the medieval setting. I guess all 6 levels will be different in presenation.madara said:Sigh, so they did "360" Banjo to make it more appealing to xbox crowd, I suppose they felt they had to. It still sounds interesting but if I wanted to play with mechs and metal so much I would just load up R&C. We shall see tuesday with more pictures but I dont expect to see lush natural exploration and charming critters like first Banjo had with desert, forest, beach, christmas levels and such. I let this one slide but start thinking up the next banjo for new xbox hardware that has more of a natural setting, I get enough scifi, mechs and crap from all the games already out there as it is.
