Ken Lobb, Creative Director at Microsoft Games Studios gives a walkthrough of the nostalgia heavy, open-world level in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.
IGN says:
"Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts is a game that you'd do well to keep your eye on. The visual style is great and the possibilities in the gameplay seem almost unlimited. Rare is pushing the boundaries of what a platformer is and, in doing so, is bringing fresh ideas to a genre that has fallen out of favor with gamers. Even with all of the new ideas, it's clear that the team has ensured that it doesn't venture too far from the roots that have made the franchise a hit. The platforming, exploration and open game progression are all there; the game has just put the creativity in the hands of the player. And that's never a bad thing."
As an old-school fan, I highly suspect this may be my favourite level! lol
Looks fantastic and I can't wait. Great to see Rare back in top form! :)
that looks sweet.
thanks for the vid super!
Looks good, Xbox definitively needs more platformers.
lol, After seeing the video it kinda seems like they took some good ideas from Little Planet which is great!
I'm anticipating that there are going to a ton of comments, saying either that it looks like crap, it looks boring, vehicle creation is retarded or that it copied LBP. As someone who will probably purchase or rent both of these, i personally believe that these are incomparable, as one focus's on vehicle creation and using your creation to overcome obstacles while the other focus's on level creation and using your array of platforming abilities and puzzle solving to overcome obstacles, either way i've got my flame suit on for a flame war.
