What the hell?
Lets hope the vehicles are just a BG&E / Jak 3 style overworld thing, and the whole game hasn't turned into that Namco Starfox shambles. |

I don't know, geussing from the mumbo's nuts (lol) sign, mumbo jumbo's taken up mechanical work (ok, that probabbly is an issue). So that means the vehicles will be a transformationy type thing. The only reason the majoritory of these screenshots show that is because it's the "new" feature

I hope this is good, but I really don't like the look of those messy vehicles.

Some people are pathetic. The graphics look incredible and no one outside Rare knows how much of the game the vehicles actually make up. Even if it's 90% vehicle-based, I say good for Rare. No doubt the same people who complain about lack of innovation from Microsoft/Rare will claim this is "ruining the license".

Can't wait to get more info on how the platforming and the vehicles fit together. I reckon the vehicles are an objective of the platforming and will be used for multiplayer / some in game races.

Im holding out on commenting on the vehicles ntil we find out how much of a part they play. But if you look carefully you'll see screenshots numbers: 2,6, 10 and 14 all seem to take place in a mechanical "bubble". If you look really carefully the cog system for shot 2 is seen in the very far background in shot 10, implying that the level will start off flooded and you need to drain it!

Those are some of the nicest graphics I've seen...
I'm a bit wary of vehicles; I don't want this to turn into a driving game first and foremost, or even "Banjo does GTA". Hopefully it'll be 80% platforming and 20% driving, or something like that. |

Looks fantastic. Genuine suprise to see these shots.
2nd pic is very dramatic! |

Am I right in saying this is the first true X360 title from Rare, meaning the other games released by them were intended for Xbox 1. I'm sure I read this somewhere.

seasidebaz you must be some sort of idiot, to now declare that the game is ruined because there are a few screen shots of some vehicles.
Until we know what they are for, and how they will be implemented, then shut the fuck up! I think vehicles could be a welcome addition to Platformers. Everyone moans that platformers are all the same etc etc, so I think its good to mix things up a little. I mean Beyond Good & Evil had vehicles, and that is a sublime game. This is still my most wanted so far.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo (breath) ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!
Rare, what the fuck are you doing? If this turns into Banjo-Kazooie Racing I'm going to track the team down and kill them. EDIT: On CVG a Rare spokesdroid says it's defintiely NOT a racing game, and the shot are of a 'vehicle creation system'. Hmmmm.

@ Weezer:
"EDIT: On CVG a Rare spokesdroid says it's defintiely NOT a racing game, and the shot are of a 'vehicle creation system'. Hmmmm. " Link? Oh, and if you think the screen don't look so good, you should see the originial 720p screens, they're really good looking. Something lost in translation I think. |

But what if those vehicles are all custom built by the player? They all seem to be made up from a common selection of parts and assembled to perform in unique and varied ways depending on how each individual player wants to attempt any given task maybe? It'd explain their quirky look and be quite a cool feature I reckon!

I think it's a bit early to be judging the game, but personally I quite like the idea of custom vehicles. I do hope there's still a decent amount of unfoot stuff as well, but it certainly looks interested. And yes, Banjo is supposed to look boxy.

What is this obsession with Killer Instinct...? The N64 version was mediocre at best IMO with poorly animated, blurry 2D sprites battling against generic 3D backgrounds... I just don't see the appeal myself... I didn't even back when it was released (and, yes, I made the mistake of actually buying it!). With so many other good fighting games having come since like Tekken 5, Virtua Fighter 5 and DOA Ultimate and with SoulCalibur IV imminent, do we really need a sequel to a substandard fighting game? What can it possibly offer that we haven't seen in other games...? :?

highly rated due to reviewers being over impressed by the technical side of things.
Wasn't that the main reason Mario 64 got its plaudits? For technical reasons? (being 3d and all that) I think that is fail because Banjo was far superior to Mario in my eyes. I've always been a massive platformer' fan, right from Fade to Black to Mario Galaxy. For some reason, my all time fav platformer was jak and daxter: the precursor legacy, closely followed by banjo Mario 64 was more enjoyable on the DS in my mind. ;)

Never played Banjo but Conker on the N64 was the best platformer I played. Personally I want Rare to work on more Conker, Blast Corps and Killer Instict and throw us more Perfect Dark now they know what the 360 can do
