Like night and day.
There's still plenty of time for the Rare/Playtonic game to piss you off.
Maybe an SJW assigned to moderate the forums.That happens a lot.
Maybe pay-to-win collectibles.
Maybe someone you really liked leaves the project.
>>339098486
>wanting it to fail
You sick bastard.
First: 3M
Second: 4M
>>339098486
Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but I don't see any of that happening.

Nothing personnel kid. Chaos is a ladder.

>>339098237
How could they fuck up that explosion background so much?
It looks like it's not even stable, and even then it still looks like a bunch of fucking pizza slices
>>339098801
Also, if I remember correctly, I could be wrong, but the Kickstarter for Yooka Laylee was just for extra features. They were always going to make it.
Just like Broken Age made people realize P&C games were nothing special, YL will sour people on Collect-a-thons.
>>339098237
>>339099113
Nobody ever liked collect-a-thons
They were pain in the asses and half of the collectibles were useless. People just liked the 3D platforming, collecting shiny objects was only a pointless bonus
>>339099274
>Nobody ever liked collect-a-thons
I do.
Way to be super wrong.
Here's what I can see potentially going wrong with YookaLaylee (or however it's spelled)
It feels like a lifeless unity game or something
It's really short
It turns out collectathons are only playable with a nostalgia filter
The platforming is clunky
The level design is bad
>>339099274
>Nobody ever liked collect-a-thons
Speak for yourself
>>339098486
grant kirkhop is a saint, and you should be ashamed for even implying he would do his buddies dirty like that.
>>339098486
Well they don't talk very much, they're making the game partially in rejection of the mobile game hell their former colleagues are in (see the EGX reveal), and most of the team were laid off from Rare so they'd be unemployed otherwise.
Things are looking good.
>>339099274
This
Internet critics and neo-/v/ has made all the kiddies think collect-a-thins were so much fun, they were complete bullshit and made me wanna rip my own dick off

Well did you or didn't you?
I know this is the "I hate everything" capital of the world, but is anyone here actually optimistic and excited like I am?

>>339100059
I'm more excited for video games now than I've been since about 2013 because of the magazine article.
>>339099482
It's a collecathon, clunky platforming is pretty much a given because they're designed more about putting shit to collect then having any semblance of good level design.
>there are people in this very thread who are too young to get OPs reference and will now proceed to look it up on google

This
>>339103174
It was advertised as Banjo Threeie and then wasn't Banjo Threeie. On top of that, it lacked the soul that Kazooie and Tooie had.
But no, it wasn't a bad game. Slap on any other name and it would have been just fine.
>>339098237
One is made by actual veteran programmers. The other is made by a guy claiming to have created something he didn't. I wonder why it looks like shit.
>>339099482
Why does Unity get so much hate? It's just a means to an end that's ultimately transparent to the player. It doesn't matter what engine the game is running on if you play it and it's good.
>>339103174
I liked it but I have a feeling that if I knew how much people hated it then it would have soured my first impression.
>>339103679
It gets hate because people who don't know what they're doing can use it.
>>339103563
Was it ever explained why it was Banjo-Kazooie and not some new IP?
>>339101968
It's been a while, but I think it was animaniacs.
>mfw the Mighty No. 09 trailer was so fucking bad that there are now parody trailers for other video games
jesus christ
even fucking Splatoon's trailers didn't get this treatment
>>339103836
Why would they create a new IP when they can just use an existing franchise to try and get more sales? Imagine all the sales they got off the Banjo Kazooie name alone.
>>339103836
I mean, Ghoulies wouldn't have sold as bad if Cooper were a Battletoad instead.
>>339103836
Because Mayles thought it was a good idea. People have this idea that MS ruined rare but really it was just them taking on ideas that weren't the best and people misunderstanding them. It wasn't until the Kinect shovel ware that MS did interfere with the studio
>>339103836
If it was some new IP it wouldn't be likely to sell as well.
Some people are so desperate for a new Banjo title that they'll play any piece of shovelware with his face on it.
>>339103737
That's true of anything. Easier tools are naturally going to expose craft to more people and more people are going to do dumb shit with tools. But it doesn't make sense to blame the tool, that's like blaming the printing press for enabling bad books.
>>339103831
Nice water, is that Unity or did they do that on their own?
So whats the missing link
>>339104292
YOU'RE A KID NOW
>>339104036
It's not like they've shied away from that kind of thing before.
>>339104292
Wii U.
Let's hope that the NX has at least decent advertising.
>>339104358
Splatoon's wasn't that bad, some of the later commercials are actually pretty decent.
>>339104292
The fact you put doom in there instead of borderlands proves you're a meme bandwagoning shit-for-brain underage newfag and you're lucky the mods never do their job otherwise you'd be banned on the spot
>>339104184
>Nice water
>>339104105
I don't think MS is entirely blameless, didn't Chris Seavor leave before that point because MS wouldn't greenlight like half a dozen of his projects?
>>339104358

>Japanese commercial was hype as fuck
I don't get it.

I think its Unity. But these devs actually know how to program well.

we're talking about the guys that made Conker Bad Fur Day
There wont be any SJW anywhere close to them
I want to see what that N64 shader looks like.
Hey, if anyone has that fanart of Trouser looking like an N64 model, please share
>>339104832
At least now it is. I don't know what happened. North American commercials had a charm to them in the past that they just don't have today.

Anon, please.
>>339105124
That's because NoA actually did shit back then.
Just look at how cheap and shitty all of the Nintendo commercials are nowadays.
>>339104930
>we're talking about the guys that made Conker Bad Fur Day
just for the record, most of playtonic's team consisted of the division at rare that worked on dkc1&2 and the banjo games. they didn't develop bfd. chris seavor's currently at his own company working on rusty pup.
>>339104537
>NoA
That's all there is to it. How they localize games, how they advertise games and how they handle Nintendo's social medias to turn it into Memetendo should be enough to show you how much of a cancerous blight on their own company NoA can be.
Fuck, just compare the XCX exposition videos:
Japan: Series of well-voiced half hour sketches featuring the main cast of the game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjTzuqyQZlc
America: Series of short 10 minutes videos poorly voiced by a literally who https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUK1b_ysTnI

Excuse me anon, I missed you pointing out it's fan art.

You got lucky this time, dink.
>>339098486
>Maybe an SJW assigned to moderate the forums
What the fuck does that have to do with the game?
>>339105381
Thanks for the precision, didn't know, but nonetheless, there plenty of dark humour that could piss off SJW in the banjos games anyways.
>>339098486
Wow nice pessimism you fucking faggot fuck.
I hate everything but Yooka-Laylee actually has my inner child happy so GO FUCK YOURSELF
>>339105362
>>339105403
I'm convinced that it's not the "out of touch nipponese" higher ups that are fucking up Nintendo, but it's NOA that is fucking up.
>>339101819
I got it. Hell I even read it in the narrator's voice. Of course, I am by no means young.

>>339104471
Water has always looked really good on Nintendo systems even if Nintendo isn't involved.
>>339105729
They're both fucking everything up. NoJ did everything wrong hardware-wise and churning out games nobody wants to play. Amiibos were their idea.
NoA is a shell of its former self. It's nothing. It's a shitty localization branch that really just puts memes into games if they ever decide to bring them over.
>>339105403
That's not bad actually. They're actually talking about the game's features instead of showing quick cuts set to blaring wubstep. It's not a especially good trailer but it's not bad either, just because they're not talking in muh superior ching chong nip nong language.
>>339105509
Don't call them a dink, you jank.
>>339106358
>>339098237
I love how the grass world got less generic and actually well designed
Meanwhile Mighty number 9's level design keeps getting worse
>>339106613
That grass world isn't the same as what they showed off at the crowd funding period. What they showed off was literally a tech demo saying "hey, this is how it's going to look like and play like".
Hey everyone!5 monthsMaybe more>mfw
>>339104453
Doom is good but its advertising of nothing but its bland as fuck multiplayer was undeniably shitty
>>339106808
Ask MN9
>>339106990
Remember everyone bitching about the rough alpha footage for the game and people defending it because it was clearly prototype stuff?
And now the game's coming out and it looks exactly as shitty.
>>339106808
I know
Tech demo still had weird lighting and off colors
I'm saying that I'm glad they changed that
>>339098237
SEE THAT GIANT ROCK PILLAR
YOU CAN SCALE IT
Both games are bad ideas.
The 3D collectathon platformer genre thankfully finally died for a reason.
Mega Man has been passed around like a cheap whore to the point where I'm sick of all these Mega Man-like games that try to recapture the very few times the series was actually good.
Still waiting for toybox you fucking hacks.
>>339109160
>The 3D collectathon platformer genre thankfully finally died for a reason.
Just because you didnt like it doesnt mean shit for whether it should exist or not
>>339109353
Coming in July.
>>339109771
Collecting X number of MacGuffins has always been an awful way to meter out content, and the collectathon platformer genre went way fucking overboard with that shit. The generally poor controls both of charaacter and camera were significant contributing factors as well.
>>339101819
OP did it wrong anyways.
Good Idea Bad Idea is always the same concept, but played just barely different to end up horrible.
Example:
Good idea- throwing a surprise birthday party for your great-grandson (everyone happy)
Bad idea- throwing a surprise birthday party for your great-grandfather (GGF has a heart attack)
>>339110146
Collectathons have always been partial exploration games, except they actually have shit you can do via collecting shit. The only thing I'd consider bad sometimes is the basic "coin" items all over.
Also I never had a problem with the controls, sorry you have fat hands.
>>339098486
Yooka Laylee might turn out like DK64 and prove you can't make a good Banjo clone without the original designer, Gregg Mayles.
>>339110720
Yeah, collectathons have to have heart, otherwise they're nothing.
Banjo has heart, and Yooka Laylee looks like it has even more heart than that.
>>339110813
Well you can't make a new Banjo with Gregg Mayles, so we're kind of fucked if that's the case.
>>339110813But I liked DK64 more than the Banjo games
>>339110813
Eh, it'll be fine.
>>339110813
Well, at least they've mentioned how they're trying to avoid the mistakes of DK64.
