The font wasn't the problem as much as the size.{Mike} said:Missed Dead Rising back in the days?
You can do an Immelman, but rolls and split-esses don't appear to be possible because you are limited to a 90 degree bank angle. Amusingly, you can fly in reverse!Orodreth said:Any idea if its possible to make more complex maneuvers with the flying vehicles like a 360 turn etc..?

Now I'm even more pissed that Grant Kirkhope left Rare :-(
George K. said:Just to let you know, the majority of the music was actually composed by Robin Beanland, our head of music and creative mind behind all Banjo's most familiar tunes.

MicVlaD said:George (from Rare) already posted in this thread that they're looking into the text issue for the retail version, so there's a chance the size will be increased in the final game.
George K. said:Unfortunately, this is an issue that doesn't look like it will get changed. I don't want to bore you with the technical side of things (I really don't understand it all myself), but the long and the short of it is that the text you see in the demo will be the same as that which you find in the retail version of the game.
I'm sorry that we weren't able to address this issue as nothing would please us more than turning all your complaints into gleeful responses, but it's simply something that's too expensive in terms of time, resources and money to alter.

Is this something that could be fixed with a patch? As someone with an SDTV and poor vision, it would suck to not be able to read the text, as the writing in the Banjo games (and most Rare games) is always pretty funny. Even beyond that, I imagine it would make it a pain in the ass to not be able to read the mission objectives.George K. said:Unfortunately, this is an issue that doesn't look like it will get changed.

Yeah it really hurts the game, even in HD I have a difficult time reading the text, not because of size but because it scrolls away like crazy.Majora said:That's seriously put me off buying the game now. Fast moving text + ridiculously small font size = hell for my eyes. Who on earth decided the text should be that small? Ridiculous. Hope they learned a lesson.

At the very least they should have implemented a "A button" pause after each page of text so you could read it at your leisure.
It will hurt this game, both in scores and people's opinion of it, shame really because the game is a lot of fun.

I sit 6 feet away from a 26" HDTV and it's fine for me to read. Not say it isn't small, but it's perfectly readable for me.
GAF has decided they hate this game. Any flaw, regardless of how minor it is, is automatically game breaking.HolyStar said:Jesus Christ. It amazes me that in every thread you people find at least one thing to bitch about. Damn, instead of talking about all the amazing things in the game, you focus on the few bad things forever.

I love the game, I've had it preordered since August but that isn't going to stop me from bitching about my biggest complaint with the game (at least from the demo).BobFromPikeCreek said:GAF has decided they hate this game. Any flaw, regardless of how minor it is, is automatically game breaking.
My thoughts as well.1cesc said:Who thought it would be a good idea to use such small ass text? It's as if no-one at Rare even bothered to play/test the game on an SD TV. I've pre-ordered this game, and I'm going to play it on HD, but this just seems amateurish.
There's plenty of love for this game, it's still going to be great. But the text size is kind of a big deal, especially for us SDTV users =/HolyStar said:Jesus Christ.

I appreciate all you do, George. I'm still looking forward to Banjo Kazooie a lot, but this news about the text is a bit disappointing.George K. said:I really don't know at this stage, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Again, I appreciate that this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I'd rather be up front and honest with you than spin you a line.
So you don't see an issue with the fact that the text in the game is illegible for some people?BobFromPikeCreek said:GAF has decided they hate this game. Any flaw, regardless of how minor it is, is automatically game breaking.
There's an issue, definitely. It was a dumb move on Rare's part. Do I think it's enough to pass on the game? Not really.KevinCow said:So you don't see an issue with the fact that the text in the game is illegible for some people?
pssshhh you people really need to learn how to read faster...Darunia said:What annoyed me wasn't the text size in the demo, but the speed at which it scrolled away! In the story sections those lines flew by really fast. What happened to putting an A button confirmation at the end of every text box
antiloop said:meh, don't worry. If it wasn't the font people would find something else to complain about.
If it's bad enough that I can't read what I'm supposed to do in a mission, then it could very well be game breaking.BobFromPikeCreek said:There's an issue, definitely. It was a dumb move on Rare's part. Do I think it's enough to pass on the game? Not really.
Nothing better to do then spend months complaining about a game you obviously don't want to get?Nicktals said:You say this as if people aren't already complaining about anything else.
Give me some credit! I've been bitching about the gameplay decision for months, this is just the complaint of the week =)

Yeeeah, having nothing better to do is my problem?
I think you're overestimating the difference in terms of value (or however you used 'better') coming to a forum and talking about a game you will buy, and coming to a forum and talking about a game you won't buy.
The real difference is that I just talk less.
