Banjo-Threeie Conceptual Screenshots.

What could have been...

As a fan of old-school Rareware, I have to say, this does bring a tear to my eye.

Ugh. So much stupid in this guys editorial.

I am so sad now...

Meh.

Ugh. So much stupid in this guys editorial.

Nobody asked you what you think. Especially not if you're going to be a jerk.

The entire point of a forum is peoples opinion. And I hardly see why I need to ignore that the guys doesn't understand what first party development means.

I thought that club joint picture looked familiar. This would have been a blast, because if it happened I would have bought this game in a flash.

I doubt they would have recycled the environments. All it really would have been was just showing us what the characters looked like with newer tech. Which, considering we're a generation above that tech, naturally doeesn't look as impressive as it must have then.

I mean, can you imagine Banjo dealing with rock women with over the shoulder boulder holders?

Sigh...this is making me go back to wishing Rare was never sold to Microsoft. Man, thought I was over that!

Yes. God forbid that someone has an opinion.

I'm not mad at him for having an opinion, I'm mad at him for calling something I agree with "stupid."

Man, thought I was over that!

It's been ten years and I'm still not over it, and I don't think I ever will be until I see a new Rare game on a Nintendo console, or even a handheld.

Oh for fucks sake - look, the idea that Rare would be good if they were with Nintendo is tempting, but its confusing correlation and causation. Rare were good because they had talented people who left when they were bought by Micrsoft - Nintendo had nothing to do with making them good.

I actually think they're still good. I thoroughly enjoyed Nuts & Bolts, Kameo, and Viva Pinata.

I just want to see their games on a console I actually own. (I don't have access to a 360 anymore, and even if I did, I'd rather see them on a Nintendo console just to satisfy my inner fanboy.)

That's not a good enough reason for Rare, as far as I can tell they're fine with were they are now or they'd have all quit or something.

Besides, didn't Nintendo sell them to Microsoft?

Why do you think this is a Single-Issue Wonk for me?

I think of your voice raising a little when I get to "think", it makes the sentence wierd to me.

I don't care if it's on a Nintendo console, they made their choice and I doubt they care about what Rare's up to now.

I'm a Banjo-Kazooie fanboy (sorta), but I couldn't really care less about Nintendo since the Wii. Don't have any problems with the Wii, just don't care about it.

I really hate when they show that video. because it makes people think that it's a case of What Could Have Been when it isnt. It was aa TECH demo. To show the TECHONOLGY...and now that I look at it again...it doesen't even does that!!

the rock bar? sure, but the actual scene with banjo and Kazooie? Those are all the same N64 models!! all they show there is that theyc an put mroe characters on screen, but the whole "We can see how banjo was going to look like on the system2 is a bunch of bull...

To compensate, lets imagine what some levels could have been like.

Maybe a level where they go to Rares main office.

Why would they have a level in Rare's office?

For meta-purposes. They meet with all the other Rare characters.
