Sounds very promising. A return to the old Rare vibe would be fantastic. One of my most anticipated games for sure.

 

[Kyleripman]

So we get to see something tomorrow? Excellent. Hoping for something concrete.

 

[cybercircuit1]

So is this going to be multiplatform or exclusive to Xbone?

This is not Rare. New company - Playtonic Games. Steam has been stated so far.

 

[SensibleSucker]

Had a nosey through the thread but my brain has been so addled by Ori I can't tell if it's been mentioned if this game is multi platform or not.

Just Steam so far, the only console they name-dropped was Wii U, though it will likely come to everything.

I'm looking forward to being completely underwhelmed...

Alright? Any particular reason why?

 

[Shin-Ra]

I like what I'm seeing except for "using the Unity engine."

I was hoping they'd carry over their in-house technical expertise from Rare and my experiences playing Unity games hasn't been that great.

 

[banofypie]

Nah, it should have been Timber the Tiger.

Timber is more of an FPS character.

After Grow Home I'm confident collect-a-thons work great in Unity. At least on PC.

So it's at 4pm local time today, 6 hours from this post.

 

[cyberheater]

Alright? Any particular reason why?

Because I've been waiting for a spiritual successor for Banjo Kazoo for around 17 years now. I thought Nuts and Bolts would be that game but no. They couldn't just do a updated port with modern graphics. They added stupid vehicle building mechanics etc... They fucked it up.

For devs it seems it's impossible for them to grasp what made a game great and craft a game with those simple mechanics. For some reason they just can't keep it simple and fill it with crap. I fully expect this game to do the same.

I really hope I'm wrong.

 

[blacksark]

Anyone knows if this will be streamed?

EDIT: I have seen that there is one.

 

[watership]

The dreams of every person who was a fan of SNES and especially the N64 are about to come true. My heart can't take it. So good.

Everyone is getting so worked up, without seeing anything. I hope you guys don't end up crushed.

 

[That Brown Guy]

Anyone else going to Rezzed? I'm gonna try and catch the talk they give.

 

[deleted]

Okay where and when is this happening?

So it's at 4pm local time today, 6 hours from this post.

I see, thanks!

Cheers dude, I was wondering this. Hopefully I'll be at home when it happens.

Love it.

 

[Sponge]

Very excited to see what's shown today.

 

[Tregard]

 

[Axass]

2 hours and a half to go. I'm ready.

 

[Currygan]

yup, I'm in. Enough great names, and the fact it's a platformer, to give me hope

 

[Zalman]

Do we have any idea of what's actually being shown today? Is it a full reveal?

 

[Sparrowhawk]

My body is ready.
I've been waiting so long for this moment.

 

[_Ryo_]

Is there a stream if so where is the link?

Apparently not a full reveal according to what they said, however there's got to be lots of info and images, maybe a video as well.

[jediyoshi]

Humba successor or bust

 

[Pachimari]

I really hope that the main character will have a grand mascot design.
And everything seems to be colorful, and if it's gonna be a collec-a-thon, then even better!

Thanks!

 

[Bjoern the Smexy]

I seriously cannot get hyped any more like I am right now for this game.

I really really hope it is a true successor to the BK games, a real collectathon platformer with charming characters and multiple beautiful themed world with lots of things to collect.

I would freak out if it turns out to be just like this and nothing like Nuts & Bolts.

 

[cyberheater]

twitch.tv/egx

Thanks.

 

[Pachimari]

Is there a synopsis of everything we know so far out there? Like who's on the team, some quotes from the Edge article etc?

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

They probably still in the earliest stages of development I don't think a reveal video is possible at the moment. It will be cool to see concept arts and interviews though

[SDCowboy]

So are there any screens for video of this yet?

 

[Diddy Kong]

can't wait to meet our new heroes !

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

I think any and every publisher would be wise to help these guys out.

 

[SDCowboy]

So is this going to be multiplatform or exclusive to Xbone?

Time will tell.

 

[Coolwhip]

When is their presentation?

 

[JohnTinker]

Noon Eastern?

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

Noon Eastern?

Only An hour and fifteen if that's the case. Can't wait to see what they have come up with.

 

[JPeeples83]

Where's the presentation going to be shown? Youtube or Twitch?

 

[Bomber Bob]

my body is burning with desire

[Coolwhip]

Nice

 

[Milpool]

I plan on watching it on the Chromecast but I bet an ad plays just as they're about to reveal a video or something.

Only Wii U? I really hope it's on other platforms as well.
