Funny, the more money they have, the more they can probably drag out development just like the old days at Rareware.
The composer is trying so hard to not sound let his song sound just like the Mumbo Mountain level from Banjo Kazooie 1, and is failing miserably. I'm assuming they brought Grant Kirkhope back to score this, because it's just about verbatim.
As a long-time Banjo Kazooie fan, I'm very interested. However, the characters don't seem to have the same inherent appeal as Banjo or Kazooie, and to be honest it doesn't look like [Not Rare's name here] is doing much to bring anything new to the table after 15 years.

This. 1000%. The environments are beautiful, but dead. Throw in some low resolution butterflies/bugs too. Let the world breathe.
And also, why isn't that lizard wearing pants? So unrealistic.
What Irks me is this is an opportunity to take that classic formula to the next level... Too bad Ratchet and Clank just did that, lol.
Its like when Deep Impact was getting all the hype as the biggest apocalypse movie ever in 1998, and then Boom!
Bruce Willis teamed up with Ben Affleck and one of Aerosmith's bastard children came along with Armageddon.
Lest we forget you Leelee Sorbeleski.
I have hopes it will turn out well. It has gotten some good press. I wouldn't count it out, just based on that footage. After enjoying Ratchet and Clank so much, I'm hoping for a resurgence of these types of games -- although this one reminds me more of something "kiddie," along the lines of Spyro the Dragon, for example. Not sure it'll have the same appeal to me as an action/shooter-platformer like R&C, but I'm rooting for it to be good.
Ha! Ha! I just watched that piece of garbage the other day. For some reason Leelee and her older twin Helen Hunt bug the fvck outta me...
To be completely fair, this game is in fact being created by the original makers of Banjo-Kazooie, and this is a very rough version meant to be a proof of concept. Playtonic Games are now fully funded with over £2,000,000 from Kickstart backers. The game is now in full production.
Bummer, this doesn't seem to be going where I was hoping. Still looks completely uninspired. The art direction is not very good at all, imo. I don't mind kiddie, but damn, the artwork is missing the mark. The music sounds like an N64 game. Boo.
Because that would be the easy thing to do. This is the first time i've heard about this game. I'll take anything that resembles Banjo at this point.
This game is actually an indie game despite its nice graphics so you can't be too critical. It's not intended to have a bunch of high quality procedural destruction. They have a modest budget just like every other indie video game.
I don't mean destruction, just some life in the environment like moving leaves and such. That's not that difficult to do, especially since it's so stylized. The style begs for it.
The game actually does have all that. But yeah the physics aren't standing out too strongly right now in its current state.
