Well some people are already running with the ''a large focus on vehicles'' which at face value suggests just collecting and building.

Should have made their press release clearer. Let me try:

Banjo KazooieTM: Nuts & Bolts(R) brings the classic franchise to a whole new generation, seductively combining classic platforming with a brand new innovative gameplay mechanic from the genius minds at RareTM. Collect items to build and customise your own contraptions and vehicles. Use these contraptions to help complete tasks and missions in another crazy mind-bending Banjo adventure!

I won't give up my day job.

 

[Salazar]

Nostalgia purchase coming up. What's reasonable, in Australian $, for Killer Instinct ?

 

[RSTEIN]

I still find something very unsettling about killing the pinatas... I really hated to do it :lol "Your garden is too full" Well, um, ok squazell #37, time to join your pinata brothers in heaven

 

[Francias Castiglione]

We've been referring to them internally as contraptions.

How strict are the rules that govern what can be built and actually used in the world, is it confined to vehicles that will "work"or can we built static pieces that serve no real purpose as a vehicle?

 

[RSTEIN]

Yeah, with full LIPS integration. BELIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVE

"For the first time ever, you will be able to taste, suck and swallow the game!"

I would suck Marcus' Lancer.

I mentioned this before: pixel art.

Yes, you can build ANYTHING you want in the garage. Only requirement is a seat somewhere, but from there on, you're free to do anything you'd want. I'm sure people will create some cool art out of this

 

[Jonnyram]

So there's no Infinite Undiscovery at this event? I was expecting to see some English vocals.

How do you see vocals?

 

[NotWii]

Geez Rare, you'll do anything to justify a collectathon :lol

Wow. 3D Pixel Art that shoots things.

Soooo epic.

 

[NeXuSDK]

Oh, I guess I never said this: you can colour each object individually (or quickly turn everything into one color). That's how the pixel art can be created

 

[oldergamer]

LOL

Oi you, get back in the other thead, we're still waiting.

 

[duckroll]

If you concentrate hard enough, you can see the human soul.

Niiiiiice. Would something like a trebuchet or catapult be possible?

 

[sneaky77]

any sites going to do any live blogging for this event?

Doesn't seem like it, I think Blim said that it wasn't allowed or something.

 

[NeXuSDK]

Hmm, there already is the detach-object, so you can unhook one part of the vehicle/contraption from the other (they said how they've build a spaceship, where the top part can detach). Maybe this can be used to create a catapult somehow?

Ye GODS this is going to be such fun.

let mw suck your bolt.

I hope we can keep/reuse our previous gardens and piñatas.

With the Pinartic area i suppose the Jeli (yeti) will pay us a visit.

Btw, the most irritating for me were the swananas in VP1, too cooky, always fighting.



Looks like it




Agree, at least please make allow much more items per garden so this time is possible to really customize how you want each of them.

I don't think I did manage to ever get a swanana I had sandwiches and everything but it was so snooty it ignored it. Two of my favourite pinatas were the monkeys ( cinnamonkey and boonboon) but they kept fighting no matter what. Anyway re-using some pinatas and stuff in your garden from vp1 would be great especially since the requirements for some pinatas are long.

 

[[Nintex]]

Wow, you can build anything? A boat-airplane-bike-spaceship-hybrid with movable arms and a detachable submarine... omfg so awesome.

You'd still need some kind of elastic object though to fire it.

Can someone check ?

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Banjo sounds like Grand Theft Auto lite with platforming elements. You can ride anywhere and do missions, side quests, etc but the vehicles are more fun and the free roam world is broken up into levels.

They just stripped out the violence and sex and put in a greater emphasis on vehicles.

I love it.

 

[MCD]

Can someone check ?

it's there along with a theme (150msp) and a gamerpic pack (100msp.)

 

[faberpach]

any sites going to do any live blogging for this event?

There is no word of the event in any of the major sites... so i wouldn't coun't on it...

I hope we can find some more info or videos on xbm later...


If anyone knows places to get the info please tell

 

[Prine]

This new take on platforming is genius. Cant wait to see the video

Well a trebuchet then!

Doesn't sound anything like GTA to me.

It's there, wouldn't be surprised if we see the Demo by day end if not the by week end.

 

[NeXuSDK]

Ok, I just wanted to share a few more of my pictures with all of you, to give you a bit more insight on some things.

First a picture of the garage, where a construction is underway:

The construction continues. The numbers indicate how many objects in the category you are allowed to place on your contraption in total:

And so this vehicle, designed from scratch, embraces the world:

It now flies, thanks to a propella placed on top of it:

And now for some quick real-time changes to the design:

This other design with downwards-angled engines gets up pretty high:

Another design with wings seems to get forward and steer a bit better:

Artwork of a few vehicle pieces (we only got to play around with a few):

And last, some VP concept art love

 

[Kafel]

Yeah, is it a new trailer or we've already seen it elsewhere ?

You don't get to steal peoples already made vehicles though...

 

[Frenck]

Banjo 3 looks amazing in these off-screen pics. I can't wait to see vids.

 

[Nolan.]

Hmmm banjo3 is looking to be a lot better than I thought it would turn out to be, hoping it plays just as well.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Wow Banjo looks gorgeous in some of those shots.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Banjo looks beautiful!

 

[batbeg]

OMG. OMG. OMG OMG OMG those shots look so hot, thanks for the extra shots nexus.

 

[MCD]

NeXuSDK, i love you man, i really do.

 

[Prine]

i love you Nexus. I love you too Rare

So fucking creative

 

[RSTEIN]

Nice screens!!

 

[FrankT]

Oooh, yesssssssssssssssss.


Give us some Video today Rare. That looks like warm apple pie.

 

[Rlan]

While the idea of making all these contraptions SOUND great.. I'm worried it'll end up being like Kingdom Hearts I & II's Gummi Ship - in which I didn't give a shit. :|

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

Doesn't sound anything like GTA to me.

The fact that Showdown town is infinitely larger than anything Rare has ever made and you drive in it plus do missions, sidequests, collectathons, etc?

Same thing to me- just minus the whores, crime (like theft) and with a more E rated form of violence.

 

[Stridone]

Who the fuck thought those vehicles were a good idea? I want classic platforming goodness, not this modern vehicular bullshit. This is not Banjo-like at all. I'm fucking dissapointed, Banjo is one of my favorite franchises...

I'd take a Banjo Kazooie HD remake over this...

 

[Confidence Man]

Can you explain what that area is that you're in?

 

[hiryu]

Geez those photos looks amazing.

 

[NeXuSDK]

Can you explain what that area is that you're in?

Nutty Acres... the pictures are from the initial presentation before the hands-on.

 

[Ryuuga]

Someday we'll look back on all that scuttlebutt and laugh. Someday meaning three and a half hours from now.

Merry times will be had. I simply can't wait. I'll have to tune in from the work though....damn.


EDIT: Wow!!!! Those shots look incredible.
