Microsoft exec thinks a new platformer from Banjo-Kazooie developer would be great

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/mi...azooie-developer-would-be-great/1100-6416773/


Phil Spencer also points to Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood as an example of the platforming genre.
The idea of a new platformer from Rare, who in their heyday made Donkey Kong Country and Banjo-Kazooie, "would be great", according to Microsoft studios president Phil Spencer.
In a conversation on Twitter, Spencer discussed the platform genre and pointed toward Press Play's upcoming Xbox 360 and Xbox One title Max: The Curse of the Brotherhood, then mentioned the long-dormant Banjo series.




When it comes to resurrecting Microsoft IP, Spencer has also said multiple times in the past that he'd like to see a Crackdown 3.
 
I 100% agree with Spencer, but i don't see it happening. I truly miss 3D platformers these days. The 2D ones are great... but i want a 3D one.
 
Spencer will make it happen, its why MS got him from Sony.
 
No trolling us, Microsoft. You better give us our Banjo. And no more Kazooie on wheels please. ;)
 
Okay, so stop talking about it and green light the project already. Crackdown 3 too.

Get Double Helix to do it. I'd rather have Rare do something new altogether. Besides, most of the talent that made Rare those old nintendo games have moved on. It's probably why Nuts and Bolts ended up taking a whole new direction and why Conker's Bad Fur Day was a HD re-release with brand new MP.
 
Not enough to say it would be great. We already know that.
 
I hate this guy now.

It's almost insulting to customers considering we know that he has personally s***canned a dozen new Rare IPs, while pushing Kinect. Then pretends that's not the case, as if he wouldn't know for a fact.
 
I would like rare to do Kameo 2 i loved the first game and it still looks good today,PD2,and a new Jetpac game for xbla.showing my age a bit on the last on.

That is mostly shane kim and Mattrick. Up until 2010 spencer was just head of the European offices, which was mainly as a publishing house and had little to do with green lighting games. Since Spencer took over as head of MS studios they have gained over 10 new studios and MS studios has green lit more IPs than ever before.

Nope that was the original teams idea.

And it was better than their first idea for it. In fact Nuts and Bolts was a very good game and I like that a developer took a game down a new path than just repeat the same formula over and over.

He's also been talking about a Phantom Dust reboot. I wonder if that's a roundabout way of confirming something is in the works.

I loved Nuts and Bolts myself. Was one of it's biggest defenders and fans on TXB. Really loved tinkering and customizing each and every vehicle. Shame it didn't succeed.
 
Rare should just get to doing what they do best- aping Nintendo. It's not like the void isn't there. Seriously, Rare should be used to bring those experiences to the Xbox. Am I the only one who thought Diddy Kong racing was much better than Mario Kart?

Done at least a mill but around 40k of that would have been reduced price.

Nah DKR was great. Would welcome a new one with Viva Pinata, Banjo, Conker, Kameo and so on in.

I've often wondered with cult games like that why they did not explore the marketplace with smaller lower budgeted downloadable versions rather than abandoning them altogether. Why not a downloadable Crimson Skies or Mechassault or Phantom Dust? I've always thought there are missed opportunities there that could be low risk and high reward.

Hell I don't even own a ONE and would love to see some new platformer. Seems that type of game is really dying off as of late.
