Video quality is not so great but the game looks like it's shaping up very nicely. Really shows how much they've built onto the world they're showing off since the initial reveal.

ultrazilla · Sep 24, 2016

Almost unwatchable on mobile. Game deserves a higher quality video encode. The little bit I watched seemed really nice.

Admiral Woofington · Sep 24, 2016

Could they have chosen a worst position for the video screen on the top right

Falchion · Sep 24, 2016

Why can't this be out already? It's going to be so much fun.

petethepanda · Sep 24, 2016

Game looks fun, but I really can't stand the look of the harsh shadows, and I guess the overall lighting. It makes everything feel weirdly sterile to me.

AaronMT86 · Sep 24, 2016

My goodness, that frame-rate

https://youtu.be/YWuQfNQe5IU?t=880

I really hope these fix these frame issues prior to release.

J@hranimo · Sep 24, 2016

Loving more and more of what I see of this game! This will be my Wii U swan song

Dolobill · Sep 24, 2016

This looks like exactly what I want from this game. It's too early to worry about things like framerate.

Well they're trying to bring back the spirit of an N64 game. Poor frame rate just goes with the territory.

DarkChronic · Sep 24, 2016

This is Banjo Kazooie 3.

I can't wait for this.

Oneself · Sep 24, 2016

I sure hope it will, at least, keep a steady 30fps on PS4.

Well, I sure don't want a game that runs worst than Arkor, Grow Home or Firewatch etc. at launch.

Bony Manifesto · Sep 24, 2016

It's Unity, so I think you all better prepare yourselves for the worst in terms of performance!

Anarky · Sep 24, 2016

God I hope this comes to NX. Portable Yooka Laylee would be so great.

Sadly this.^

I really don't know why they wouldn't be able to achieve 60fps but with Unity....yeah

Marow · Sep 24, 2016

It looks utterly lovely and I can't wait to sink my teeth into it, but I still cannot help but shake off the thought that the game looks really empty - especially the grassy jungle area.

I agree. Leveldesign just doesn't look as tight as Banjo Kazooie.

A Playtonic employee claimed that they purposely withheld characters, enemies and other elements from the demo to prevent spoilers.

It probably should have been more clear in the video... we removed quite a few characters, enemies and challenges from this demo to avoid spoilers. It won't be as empty in the final game

Admiral Woofington · Sep 24, 2016

the toybox on PC ran at a steady 60 fps for me, so I hope that's the case for the full game. But yeah I ain't touching the PS4 version

kevin1025 · Sep 24, 2016

Might be worth waiting for the Playstation Access version, since it'll be better quality. It was earlier this morning when it was live.

But yeah, this game always looks incredible. It is everything I could have hoped for!

Avatar quote likely incoming.

The framerate might be from the person who either recorded or uploaded the video. When it shows the developers talking that was a little framey, as well.

That's a feature.
They are going for that true RARE feeling.

Yep. I got about 5 minutes into the video and that exact thought hit me. I can't wait.

BrettHeazy · Sep 24, 2016

Looks fantastic, I cannot wait for this game!

Helznicht · Sep 24, 2016

Did I watch the same video everyone else did? Game looks clunky, choppy and unoptimized. Camera and controls have come a long way since the N64, and it looks like they have no desire to keep up with the times.

Aurongel · Sep 24, 2016

I own one of the beefiest PCs anyone could possibly own but I think I'm going to play this in 320x240.

bede-x · Sep 24, 2016

Can't wait to play this. Looks like the Banjo-Kazooie 3 we never got. Seems like Rare is finally back

Well, it is the PS4 version and the game was still ~eight months away at the time the build being demoed was compiled. I'd imagine the console versions are trailing a bit behind the PC version with regard to optimisation as the latter is what is being used for pre-release access.

You're aware that this is a recording of a live-stream, right? The Toybox demo seems to have run well for just about any and everyone. It's as if some of you all are just looking for reasons to be disappointed

Big framerate problems are present in the video since second 1.

They really will have a hard time trying to fix this. Good luck playtonic.

Mikeside · Sep 24, 2016

I played it at egx and the frame rate IS pretty crappy. I'd say sub 30, but I'm no expert.

It's not out yet, though, so I hope they can optimise and improve. I can't see why not.

The show floor version on PC? It fluctuated between 30 and 60fps. I expect that'll be sorted.

Lupin the Third · Sep 24, 2016

Game looks fine. No one let framerates keep them from playing DK64 or the Banjos, so why are we being super picky now? Is it just because that's all we care about anymore? No wonder the industry isn't making more games like Rare used to.

BigEmil · Sep 24, 2016

Why on earth are they still using Unity engine? Because of Wii U?

Surely they could've used another engine like UE4 for all other platforms but Unity for the Wii U

Because it's not 1998 anymore and people's standards and expectations have changed?

I'm gonna be really bummed if the PS4 version of this is fucked.

Or maybe that person is concerned about the frame rate but is still interested in the game? It's as if that might be the case. Chill out.

True but it will probably run better on PC and PS4.

PS4 Unity games have ran absolutely horribly if the two games I've played are any indicator so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I'd say it's a safer bet to go with PC. I doubt the Wii U version will run better than PS4 though, likely it will be just as bad with framerate/stuttering

But that's just me.

Playtonic's developing the PC & Wii U versions internally. Team 17 is porting to XB1/PS4.

Mr Git · Sep 24, 2016

Played it this morning at EGX. Loved it. Brought a huge smile to my face, it's definitely a new Banjo but in the best way. A few noticeable niggles, e.g. camera, rolling movement felt a bit stiff sometimes - so some fixes to be made but there's still plenty of time before release.
