Banjo and Kazooie : Nuts and bolts
polycounter lvl 18
Surprised there wasn't a thread about it, of course you don't kill people in Africa or mutants in space but if you can, have a try at the demo, which was released yesterday on the marketplace.
I played through it twice (1.5h every time), building vehicles and testing them out is uberfun, challenges are cool, gameplay is really good and...omg..ITS PHUN !!!
too many colors to be nextgen, but well..haha. Made me want to play the first episode again, good thing they release it for the XLA soon haha !!!

One thing that stood out for me was the fact that the ingame stuff looks nicer than most of the promotional artwork I've seen around.
Although it's almost painfully colourful (by which I mean it's not just saturated, it's also got a lot of colours), that screenshot at the top actually looks pretty nice.
Might give it a try once its out and if it gets decent reviews though. Sort of want it to be the 360's answer to mario galaxy; sort of dont think it will be.
Can we get over this already? That screenshot is not over bloomed and I'm getting sick of hearing this shit every time there is a tiny bit in a game. Bloom got big because it can look good you know...
I loved the original Banjo Kazooie though. I'll probably give this a try.
honestly, the on-foot controls are exactly like the old game, or at least how I remember them (and I had a N64 when I was still in canada), vehicles were really a blast, and the game looks much better once you're in, I don't see what people find rubbish about the graphics, they are not nextgen, etc for sure, but I found them pretty appealing and found the demo to be really relaxing, especially after playing FC2.
High res textures, every surface has complex shaders, 4xAA for a near jaggie free experience, insane scale and draw distance and realtime lighting with day/night cycle and HDR. The more I play, the more impressed I become. The great animation, character design and classic Rare humor is all present, also.
god, thank you!
Vahl, that screen shot looks really cool. i'm going to look into this for sure... thanks! i LOVE all the colors! i get so tired of desaturated fucking BRROOOWWWNNNSSSS all the time.
