Whose everyone? As hard as it might be to swallow, a game like Banjo would be a very difficult sell to children, especially on the Xbox. Like it or not, that would be the target demographic, not adults. It was the target demographic the day the original came out and still would be. 3D platformers aren't very popular anymore. As much as I'd like to see a new Banjo game, it's not surprising to see year after year no dice.
This didn't get me much excited for Rare again.
Was really hoping to see a new game with Rare magic again, Just seemed like a bunch of random human pirate people running in a forest and then shooting cannons. Might as well have been the human characters from Kinect Sports in their own adventure game.
Where are the fantastical worlds or fuzzy animal characters?
Will get that Rare collection and hope for more magic from Rare again soon.
I'm not going to lie. This announcement was a huge disappointment to me. I'm at the point in my gaming career where my sensibilities are quickly swinging away from MP, and more towards single player experiences where I can sit down and plow through at my own pace - when my schedule permits.
I was kind of hoping Rare's new game would fit that mold. I know I've been saying I'd rather the current Rare naturally develop their next title utilizing their own strengths and sensibilities, instead of trying to relive the "glory days" that they had no part of. But I'm still disappointed. That's not to say that the game doesn't look good. If this were 10 years ago, I'd be hyped. But these types of games (Fable Legends too) just don't do it for me anymore
Hopefully I'll see some stuff in the future that changes my mind.
