This game cant come soon enough. The Banjo 3 we deserve.

Most of this casino level looks............bland? Nothing about it pops out compared to the past levels they've shown. It's got a lot of wide open spaces with nothing on them.

Agreed. I was about to post this in a less flattering way... because while I think the game looks beautiful, this level is ugly as sin. Terrible art.

If it looks this good on PS4, I might not even wait for the Switch version.

Not that impressed with graphics but looks like a fun game.
Levels look so big and old school. Really takes me back. Excited!
Yeah the graphics are disappointing.

Oh boy this looks like oodles of fun,cannot wait
I think it's the lighting, the graphics are fine, the first level looked like pure joy, just this level looks really ugly due to the lighting, at least that's what I feel.
Hopefully it's only this indoor level that suffers.

Yeah, this has been the most disappointing thing I've seen from this game tbh

It looks fun, but so barren here. Lots of floor space with few assets, and the colour pallet isn't as colourful as I'd expect from ex-Rare.
The outdoor levels previously shown are much improved though.
Edit: Actually, honestly, I don't think it looks fun. Not this video. I just said that because often I feel like you can't say anything bad on here without a backlash unless you add some kind of moderation. But honestly, I don't think this looks fun at all, it's disappointing. What I've see of the new Psychonauts 2 looks much better, even Knack 2. And yes, I loved the Banjo games - but rather than taking those to the new level for a new generation, this looks like the exact same thing as in the 90s, only more bland, barren and meh. I want to be proven wrong though, I really do. And the outdoor videos have been much better, but this really doesn't look good at all.

This level looks like ass.
I'm in the opposite camp, this level looked more exciting than anything else they've shown so far.

It looks great and I'm looking forward to playing on release but my god does it make me realise how much I want a proper fully funded Banjo Threeie.
Im happy for the studio, but this doesnt look like the game i thought it would be, thats not due to lack of talent, it does seem like a budget release and the pressures of business (and being independent) has forced the team to get this done asap. It lacks polish and i dunno, a cohesive feel to it? Im not expecting it to score well, 6-7 range. But perhaps thats what people are expecting.
Not a fan of "kiddie" Kirkhope TBH. I understand his work and respect it but it sounds terribly boring to my ear (that includes the whole Banjo, Tooie, DK64 OST).

Going to be hard to wait for the Switch version... but portable mode will make it worth it.

i can't share the enthusiasm here. i think the level looks a bit bland and boring, design is also not great.

This video didn't make the game look that fun. Lots of empty space. I really hope the levels are densely packed with things to do.

Looks like a perfect game for Switch. Was going to get it on PC but it doesn't look like it'll make much of a difference. Agreed though, it doesn't look like a great level.

I cannot WAIT. Banjo Kazooie is one of my all time favourite games. And regarding Yooka, all I've seen of it is brief E3 demo footage. I am going in completely blind. Can't wait.

I don't know... Something about the location looks... Kind of barren? It's not completely empty, but seems way too spacious. Definitely some cool bits,
It seemed the level was designed more around some of its mechanical stuff, which is fine, IE the minecart and helicopter bits look great for examples and cool the level allocates them... But the regular on the ground platforming things looked very spread apart with a lot of empty space between locations.
Wonder if it's just me who see's that, though?
EDIT: Oh, this topic blew up while I was writing my thoughts. Happy I'm not alone in thinking it looks a bit barren to me though. I feel they could've done more with this Casino location, in its music, its art style, and its design. I dunno', it doesn't look terrible or anything, it just looks like it could use a lot more work to me.

Excited for it, but the barren floors and wide open nothingness makes the unity editor kind of peek through.
