- Thread starter James Scott

Well one of the slides did mention no whale hunting so I think they'll be careful on how they do amiibos.

The audience for this type of game is there.
Project Ukulele will release even if the Kickstarter fails.
Kickstarter will just help grow the project into something bigger.
You gotta be kidding me. They are seven guys, you think they're shooting for an AAA PS4 game? They could probably make what they're thinking of on the Wii, let alone the Wii U.
It can't be that integral though if the game is on other platforms that don't even use Amiibos. I wouldn't worry

The type of audience may be but the size of that audience is small. The Wii U has bombed beyond belief.

What kind of scope are you expecting from a small group of devs lol

I guess. I didn't think of it that way.

Yeah, that's all I really want. It's always funny seeing people calling for Nintendo to buy them out, though. I'd rather have the option to play their games with all the graphical bells and whistles on PC than restricting it to really dated Wii U hardware.

True, according to the article in The Guardian they do want to expand to a team of twenty though, comparable to the N64 days.

Yeah. At most, there's gonna be 15 or so of them.

Yeah, the scope and the assets of an indie 3D platformer that's developed by 6 people which happens to be designed as the spiritual successor to one of the N64's most beloved exclusives.
This will be a big kickstarter - probably Millions, so I hope they are aware of that. I could see the game coming out way later since they get a lot more resources and new goals for the game.

I asked the question about what happens if the KS didn't work out 
And tech. Good answer By them.

Walruses, camels, bears, rabbits, tigers and badgers.
The audience in general that wants this type of game is pretty small, that has already been proven by the death of 3D platformers. The only remaining games in the genre still tend to sell the best on Nintendo platforms. Ignoring that would be an unwise move, especially when you factor in nostalgia.
I really don't think that is true at all. There are plenty of exceptional games there with excellent scope and scale that surpass things on other platforms with ease. They could always use multiple discs etc to work around it. Graphically it already looks like something the WiiU would handle with ease

I hear the term collectathon a lot. How much of Banjo games are actual platforming?
Not to say I don't like collectathon elements, but people make it seem like the games are like only collecting things. I have played a lot of games like that in the past that I liked, like Ty The Tasmanian Tiger and Jak and Daxter. How does the collectathon aspects in the banjo games compare to those?

Less than ten people make this game, I doubt they could make something with a scope that would be held back on WiiU.
Ahhhh it just feels so right to have this as a Nintendo game... everything about this is perfect. I'm filled with nostalgia.
Also laughs at that Grant Kirkhope comment.
Nah man, I mean come back to the UK!

I don't support kick-starters but I will buy this game (Don't hate me)
There's quite a lot of platforming in the Banjo games. Really the only level that lacks platforming is Terrydactyland from Banjo-Tooie IMO.

It's a kickstarter game.

Not concerned at all. Wii U hardware is more than good enough to produce an amazing looking 3D platformer, especially for this kind of project. PC and PS4 versions will be fine with a higher resolution too I guess.

Wow, that was great. Can't wait to see what they come up with, and they have my support on their history alone.

That was fun! This will be my first Kickstarter, hope to put it towards WiiU & Amiibo supoort
I think it was in the background. Both are "playtonicgames" if I remembered correctly
Same here!
