After playing the Toybox I'm so hyped for this. It's the Banjo Threeie I've been waiting for all these years.

Look really, really nice.
That music choice though is just awful.

I was a kid?
I only played from Rare on the N64 back then: Blast Corps, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day. I didn't have money to get a lot of games. I only rented Jet Force Gemini.
Edit: Add Killer Instinct Gold to that list of games I played.
Edit 2: So the only Rare N64 games I haven't touched are Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, DK64 and that Diddy Kong Racing game.

Game looks fantastic. Wife and I are gonna LOVE this! And I don't see the issue with the music choice.
I dont agree, this is classic BJ&K vibes music
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this

well,it's in the genre DNA...but what's important in the genre is what's between you and those collectables,you can put thousands of things to collect,if you don't have to put effort to get them,then you will not enjoy the collactathon...

Judging from the Toybox they released for backers this will be nowhere near MN9 levels of failure.
This game will be very awesome. It's made by key staff of the Banjo-Team and it definitely shows, believe me. I played through the Toybox three times and while this thing is basically just a tech demo and nothing else it still feels exactly like a Banjo game, so exactly what they advertised.
I'm very very excited for the game.
That's great to hear

Nah we had seen images of the antagonist before.
FWIW, if it's any consolation I think I read that they were aiming for somewhere between B-K and B-T size levels.
I think I read they are trying to go for a good balance of platforming and collectibles, to learn the lessons from 3D platformers of the past as they best can apply today.
They revealed Despicable B a while ago, actually. here's a render
His name's actually Capital B

Looks better than I expected. Sounds slightly worse. Still HYPED.
Was that available to all backers who are getting the game or only for a higher tier?

Looking good.
Hoping he's a witty as Gruntilda.
Everything that comes out of Laylee's mouth is making me chuckle

Did we ever have a thread for Toy Box by the way, because boy was that rough around the edges.

To anyone else wondering, I found the email from last month. Toy Box is available to anyone who backed 20 gbp and up, Toy Box+ to anyone who backed 35 gbp and up.
I think they picked the wrong engine for their game to run smooth.

This trailer looks very promising. The level designs look more interesting than just the floating isles in older footage of the game. I also like the new lighting/shadows they added. The recent Demo didn't have those effects.
The frame drops don't look good but i'm interested on the PC version anyway.

This looks to be everything one could want in a successor to Banjo Kazooie.
(I still cannot fathom why MS and Rare never made a true BK3...just baffling)
Hopefully this gets a physical release at launch. I need this on my shelf.

Looks fun. We definitely need more 3D platformers!

It might be because of the sound mixing in the trailer, but the sound effects don't have enough oomph to them.
Gameplay does look great though!

In response to the discussion about Banjo Tooie and DK64, I think they're pretty different situations.
The thing is, the actual amount of collectibles in Tooie isn't THAT much higher than in Kazooie. There's some more stuff like the Cheato pages and such but it's not really a huge increase over Kazooie. Hell there's actually less Jiggies than before (90 compared to Kazooie's 100), and notes are easier to collect due to five of them being bundled together. It's not like DK64 which is literally collecting for the sake of collecting.
If anything, Tooie's "issue" isn't the collectibles, it's just that the worlds themselves are giant in comparison to Kazooie's, meaning it takes longer to get those collectibles.

IMO the issue with DK64 and Tooie was the level design, not the number of collectibles. The first B-K had pretty awesome level design for the most part (especially the haunted mansion map, it's still my favorite map in any 3D platform game). This is what makes collecting things enjoyable i think because you want to look in every corner and explore every part of those levels. If the levels themselves don't urge you to explore them fully, then the collectibles feel like a chore because you don't want to explore anymore but you have to.
DK went a step further by locking collectibles with certain characters. That was a terrible design choice. But again, it wasn't really the amount of collectibles that was the problem here.
Looking good. Can't wait for this!

I still hate the design of the bat (nose should be smaller imo) and the music for the trailer was bad.
but still going to get this cos the gameplay looks awesome.

For the record, one of Banjo-Tooie's transformations was a van.

This looks great. I wonder how it'll hold up on WiiU.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Are the environments all through some Unity Game Maker pack or something?

Was that a fart bubble underwater?
*sigh*
Anyways, the trailer still showing some solid environments and areas I'd like to bounce around in. Looking forward to more on it!

It was driving me nuts to watch him play and ignore so many quills!!
I really, really find the visuals off putting for some reason. The modern shader techniques and lighting make it look like those flashy but lame UE3/Unity recreations of classic platforming levels. This game in my head should really be trying to go for a brighter technical aesthetic rather than a more realistic one. It just feels like a huge artistic clash to have modern shaders and lighting over intentionally throwback character/environment design.
