New Banjo-Kazooie Game For Xbox One Will Be Announced At E3 2015 Hints Insider: Updated


Well known Industry Insider "Kampfheld" from NeoGaf has stated that a brand new Banjo-Kazooie game will reveal at E3 2015. In a thread on NeoGaf about "Xbox One Download Games News, Announcements, Reviews, and Impressions", Kampfheld used "Morse Code" to leak the details, which was later on decoded by another Neogaf user N7Commander95.

You can check out snapshot of the NeoGaf post below. For those who are question on the credibility of Kampfheld: He/She is the same guys who has been providing correct information on cloud use in future games.

Although E3 2015 is still too far, but a small teaser that too of Banjo-Kazooie game for Xbox One is definitely worth getting hyped. Tell us how many of you want to see a brand new Banjo-Kazooie game for Xbox One from RARE?
A brief history about Banjo-Kazooie: Banjo-Kazooie is a platform video game developed and published by Rare for the Nintendo 64 video game console. It was later re-released as an Xbox Live Arcade game for the Xbox 360. The game's story is focused on Banjo and Kazooie's efforts to stop Gruntilda's plans to switch her beauty with Banjo's sister Tooty.

Update:
Kampfheld has shared another teaser message via Mose Code and here is what the translation of it reads:

Okay guys. I hope you had some fun with me in the last couple of months. I will be gone for a long time now. I just wanted to make sure to leave a small surprise for you. If possible, keep it quiet in here. In the past weeks I got an offer I could not decline. For me, a dream becomes reality. You will have a great time with your Xbox in the coming months and years. In future, I will make sure you guys will be able to hunt these orbs with a big bang. Bye for now.

Isn't this the guy who's always wrong??


Anyways this has been going around for a while now and Nuts & Bolts was great.
 
Hopefully a sequel to Nuts & Bolts. Mainly because I want it, but also due to the outrage it would cause. I would be drunk off of the salty fanboy tears.
 
Oh that sucks if this guy is always wrong. Either way, nah i cannot agree with that. I really tried to enjoy N&B, but this was a direction it should not have took in my opinion.
 
bangjo _cool imagine how nice it would look?I want a new perfect dark with the 32(?) player modes from the 360 version it was interesting mp game, but they have to nail the single player game like the original. a new kameo would be crazy, they need to revive all the old stuff first, then make some new ip.

It could go either way in my opinion. I'd probably prefer a new IP now than have them get hell over not living to the IP's legacy, but I can go either way. Yeah, I'd vote new IP. Besides, those seem more successful than the old stuff on the xbox platform. I mean, say what you will about them but Viva Pinata and Kinect Sports at least got sequels. What I want is for 4J to get on a Jet Force Gemini remake.
 
I didn't realize people still cared about banjo-kazooie. I hope they go with a new IP, because the days of collect-a-thon have been over for a decade. I'd hate to have to skip another RARE game.
Seriously, what was so great about it? Granted, I played a small bit of it a bit after it came out, but...eh
 
I surely hope so. Been too long since I've played Banjo as I didn't even play N&B.

Gotta agree there. They'd have to really do something new for Banjo. Something on that Mario Galaxy level.
 
Banjo Kazooie was the first Banjo game I ever played and I f***ing hated it. Played about two hours of it and was bored to tears.

Sometimes I think nostalgia for franchises and developers really gets the better of people and I think with Rare that it had lead to huge disappointments.....the remakes of Conker and Perfect Dark were both s*** as well.

Conker was actually pretty awesome in my opinion. Mainly because it was just a remake with an awesome classed based multipler suite. Perfect Dark was fun to play I though, but the voice acting sucked. I don't know who decided that was the direction to go, but dear god, that was horrible.
 
I'm not completely anti-Rare. I loved Kameo: Elements of Power and I've thought they did a decent job on their Kinect Sports Titles---although I was pissed about getting nickel and dimed for additional games modes/golf courses but I blame MS more for that than Rare. I just think people tend to be over nostalgic about some of their games.

I hope you're kidding. Well, you're entitled to your opinion but i loved Banjo Kazooie. Were you an N64 gamer? Rare's games in general really brought the console to life in my opinion and it all started with Banjo Kazooie. The game was just charming and fun back when it came out. As a big Mario and platforming fan it was right up my alley. I guess i'm a bit biased because i was a Nintendo kid back then but i loved that game.

Anyway, i don't care what direction they go with a new Banjo game. Give me the originals or another Nuts & Bolts. Anything would be better than nothing and it's long overdue. Same with Conker.

I did have an N64 I won in a karake contest, lol, but the hideous over-anti-aliasing hurt my eyes. I did love Conkers Bad Fur Day, and I played a lot of Golden Eye.

I've never gotten into Mario or the countless wannabes, and I couldn't stand the "whimical" warbles of speech or the weird B-class art style in Banjo either. It just wasn't something I could get into.

I was... wait for it.... a SEGA GUY!!

No secret handshake..but we know. We know. :laugh:

But seriously, if they do bring a new Banjo it really has to offer something different from what they tried with Nuts & Bolts. I tried it at a friend's and it wasn't for me. It has to become the Sonic Adventure 2 (for me) of Banjo.
 
+1 Sega....been gaming since the Atari and never owned a single Nintendo system...wanted one when I was a kid but my parent's saw what a zombie I was around video games and wouldn't buy me another system...ended up getting the Sega Master system for myself in high school.

As long as it's different from the first two as well. If they're just making another version of that, they might as well just give the first two a visual remake because it would amount to the same thing in my opinion.
 
I started playing Banjo-Kazooie lately on Xbox One thanks to backwards compatibility today and man, this brings me back. Back to the good old N64 days and i am surprised by how much fun it still is. Even the camera is not that bad at all, only a few times it slightly annoyed me. But boy...am i hooked to the game.

Simply the walking around in those lovely colourful levels, collecting stuff, meeting cool characters, the music, it's all fun and really has not lost its appeal. Not to me at least. It really makes me wonder why it had to take former Rare developers to finally resurrect the traditional 3D platformer. Why did all these other developers give up on it?

This makes me long for a proper BK game on Xbox One even more. Man...the months leading up to last E3 i kept hoping for BK. Because of the several teases on Twitter with music notes and that it would be a huge year for Rare. Little did we know that the music notes were probably based on BK, BT and BK: N&B in Rare Replay and the huge year thing was about their new IP. Imagine a proper BK game with awesome graphics, colourful levels, the cool characters we all know and love and just a real collect-athon. With some new ideas maybe thrown in. Not too much though, cause look at Nuts & Bolts. Where it went wrong in my book. Even though i will definitely give it another go when i get Rare Replay.

I can understand Rare though. They finally aren't a Kinect only studio anymore and so it's perfectly understandable they want to try their hand on a brand new IP. But man....if they had announced a new BK at E3, i would have been so happy. I would have had even more respect for Phil Spencer and MS for putting their faith in a 3D platformer. The thing that slightly frustrates me is....that not so long ago Phil Spencer said that they needed more games of their own, i recall him saying that. Stuff that when you hear it...you'll say..ah yes that is that Xbox game. They are freaking sitting on a big ass mascot called Banjo-Kazooie...oh AND Conker of course. Do something with it. :(

Ah well, who knows if Yooka-Laylee becomes a succes, that more developers will try a 3D platformer again. Anyone else with me on BK4?

Yooka-Laylee, will probably bomb. Not many people want an old school 3d platformer. They may say they do, but those games don't sell. Although, I bet a game more along the lines of Jak and Datxer would do pretty well.

I thought that too when i watched the YL footage, but now after playing BK and totally being hooked on it, i've now noticed again how much fun such a game can still bring. I do think you might be right though, it probably won't sell amazingly well. I find that a shame though, in my opinion BK is still holding it's own very very well and i am so gonna play and finishing Tooie when Replay comes out. Never got to finish it, hell...i've only seen a few levels actually.
 
I just don't think there is enough demand for a big budget traditional 3d platformer. If they went down the arcade roof it might be more viable. Can't wait to play some banjo again though!
 
The Mario Odyssey sales numbers don't lie. Gamers want collect-a-thons where you can transform into other characters. Hopefully this rumor is true. I have a sinking feeling this thread will be bumped in another ten years with another "insider" saying Banjo Kazooie 3 is finally happening.
