Social Banjo-Kazooie Social Thread - Project Dream Come True!

[CosmicQuark]

The problem with Playtonic/Yooka-Laylee is that they didn't have the man who actually designed the original Banjo games. Like Grant literally says in the interview there:



I always felt that Yooka-Laylee did a decent enough job of sounding and looking like a Banjo game, which is to be expected because of Steve Mayles' and Grant Kirkhope's involvement, but as far as actually feeling and playing like one, it fell flat, and it makes sense when you consider that Gregg was the guy who provided the core design and structure of Kazooie and Tooie. And he had nothing to do with Yooka, due to, you know, still being at Rare.

Chris Sutherland (who took Gregg's spot as the lead designer for YL) is a talented guy, but his thing was always programming, not design, and it really shows.

Except, those still left at Rare don't care much for Banjo-Kazooie, Gregg being the obvious example. Now, it did surprise me that Rare worked so closely with Nintendo on their appearance in Smash, including having a part in the new design as well; I would have thought if it was done it would have simply been them signing off and leaving the rest to Sakurai/Nintendo. That being said, Gregg has still made his feelings known about doing another Banjo-Kazooie, which is the Rare idea that if they don't have anything new to add, they don't want to do it. Which I feel is just as an extreme position as "Let's do the exact same thing." There's a happy medium.

So, really, I don't trust anybody who is left at Rare with a new Banjo-Kazooie game. Ideally it would be Rare giving it to Playtonic, with Gregg and other Rare team members providing input, for instance, Gregg could provide input onto the stages and gameplay. In that sense, you'd have pretty much the entire team back together. But Playtonic gets a bad wrap, despite, unlike Rare, they actually really would like to see something with Banjo-Kazooie, and even made a company themselves to at least do their own version of what we'd wish to see, with the limited capabilities they had. And despite some issues, I'm surprised it's as good as it actually is.

 

[Justin Little]

I'm just glad Playtonic are no longer shackled by Kickstarter, and are now free to do what they want. The Impossible Lair looks pretty damn great, IMO.

It's not everyday you see developers speak candidly about a games issues and own up to it. While Impossible Lair might not completely prove their critics wrong, it is already shaping up to be their redemption game.

So, your dino boi is back from Terrydactyland.

Gotta say, I hated this level as a kid because I was stuck here for some time... but over ten years later, I didn't find it nearly as bad. Sure, a few signs near each cave entrance would have helped (like the one that indicates the path to the nest), but the entire level has a circular structure, so after enough laps, you end up memorizing it. It's safe to say that this world is no longer on my top 3 least liked for Tooie.

Surprising, what playing a game after nearly a decade can do to you, no?

Without further ado... here are some highlights (spoiler hidden for mobile-users' convenience):

Terrydactyland Highlights

Spoiler: Terry

Yep, we're going for the boss right off the bat. Terry's nest is a little ways up, but you can pretty much go there as soon as you get your new Springy Step Shoes.

Terry is really easy. If you don't count the alternate methods (Grenade Eggs for Old King Coal and Submarine Banjo for Lord Woo Fak Fak), I'd even say he's the easiest boss in the entire game. All it takes is a a few Grenade Eggs to his noggin' and the Mucoids he spawns can drop enough honeycombs to keep you alive if you really need it.

But what really makes Terry unique is the fact that after defeating him, he becomes friendly and gives his own sidequest for you to complete, which mostly use your new Taxi Pack and Hatch abilities. I think he also has unique post-quest dialogue depending on whether you talk to him as Banjo, Kazooie or both, but I didn't check.

One of the eggs is in a weird location (legit took some time to spot that small space on the wall inside the Ooga Booga cave) and the baby needs to be delivered to him after hatching, but it's no big deal.

Spoiler: Chompasaurus

Fun fact: I remember thinking that I had died when I first saw this as a kid.

The Chompasaurus offers us yet another shooting minigame (inside his digestive tract, because why not), but this time using the Breegull Blaster. Same rule as always: Red enemies are worth 1 point, Green are worth 2, Blue are worth 3. However, since you have unlimited ammo, all you need to do is strafe around spamming eggs. Not much else to say.

Spoiler: Rocknuts Tribe

These guys are all over the level and basically serve as a tutorial for the Clockwork Kazooie. It's easy to kill them after finding the... blind spot in their armor, but since they always turn towards you, the game teaches you a bit of tactical thinking, particularly for the one inside that narrow passageway in the mountain.

Spoiler: The Styracosaurus Family

Before, this Jiggy seemed like a chore, but now? I see it as one of the greatest examples of world integration in the game. That's because there are several things you need to do on many different worlds. The full process is:

• Have Mumbo lift the train in Glitter Gulch Mine
• Fight Old King Coal to get control of Chuffy the Train
• Unlock the Train Station in Witchyworld
• Free the captive Styracosaurus in Witchyworld
• Unlock the Train Station in the Cliff Top (Isle O' Hags)
• Unlock the Train Station in Terrydactyland
• Grab the sick Styracosaurus with Taxi Pack (after learning it, of course)
• Put them on the train, go to Cliff Top and heal it with Mumbo
• Go back to Terrydactyland and use Mumbo again to enlarge the last Styracosaurus

Sure, looks like a chore when listed like that, but the truth is: if you know what you're doing and just explore the worlds at a leisure pace, chances are you'll already have half of this list complete once you reach Terrydactyland. The game is basically rewarding you for exploring, by showing you how worth it is in the long run.

Also, I just noticed that Scrotty has different dialogue if you complete the quest with Mumbo - or rather, Mumbo speaks out at the end, saying he'll "pass the reward along to the bear and bird". Rare didn't have to put that detail in, but they did. A developer's love is in the details, I tell you.

And since I talked about Mumbo...

Spoiler: Enlarge

Remember when I said Mumbo would redeem himself after the past few levels? This is the beginning of it. Enlarge is really useful for two reasons: it helps complete the Styracosaurus quest from earlier and also has a big interaction with Humba's transformation - strange, considering they're supposed to be rivals. But I can see this being the one moment where Mumbo decided that helping defeat Gruntilda was more important than his pride...

... well, either that or he just wanted to play a practical joke on Humba. Who knows, really? But don't forget to enter Wumba's Wigwam while playing as him, if you haven't yet. The banter between the two is another one of those little details that make the game feel alive.

Anyway, I digress. Enlarge's main use is to switch Humba's transformation from Baby T-Rex to Daddy T-Rex. Since I usually leave the stuff with Mumbo and Wumba to the end of a level, I only needed to do it once, but less experienced players could probably make some good use of the back-and-forth, which is a first for Mumbo, because before you just used him once, did what you had to do and that was it. I feel like this gives his section some replay value this time around.

Spoiler: Baby T-Rex/Daddy T-Rex

An interesting spell, mostly due to the Mumbo-Humba combo. Both are instrumental to navigating Terrydactyland in their own ways. The Baby T-Rex opens small doors with his roar (though I do think it was an odd decision to make the player have to learn the roar by talking to enemies) and also opens the way to a Jiggy after you memorize a certain code. Don't try to intimidate the cavemen, though, or they'll... laugh at you.

The Daddy T-Rex, on the other hand, is pretty much invincible and can intimidate any caveman, no problem. He's also heavy enough to activate one particularly large switch. Problem is... he doesn't exactly fit in many places (including the portals, of all things), so his use is pretty limited.

Both transformations are only useful for a few things, but together they seem more instrumental than most transformations so far. It's sad that it's still a bit short-lived, though. T-Rex Banjo is awesome.

One thing I noted was that because the T-Rexes sink underwater, most ponds have some sort of "ramp" that you can use to climb out of the bottom and prevent softlocks. Good level design choice.

All in all, I had more fun here than I remembered having a decade ago. I think most of it was because I grew as a player, but Tooie has some great level design choices when you think about it. At this point, even though I didn't remember a lot of stuff, Tooie has kept me feeling like I have mastered an insane amount of mechanics. More than any other 3D platformer I've ever seen. Like... the game doesn't feel bloated at all. Which is what I would normally feel for a game with this many new skills to learn. I think this kind of thing is a testament to Rare's hard work at the time.

Anyway, Chuffy has departed from Terrydactyland. Next stop... the bane of my younger self's existence, Grunty Industries.

... Maybe it will be better than I remember, like this place. I hope.

Yeah, Nintendo doesn’t care about their fans, that’s why we’ll never get Banjo-Kazooie in Smash and none of their other games get cool DLC fans like, either.

If Hero releases this month, then that gives a bit more credence to DLC releasing alongside a new amiibo batch. So that could mean Banjo releases in the last week of September or the first few days of October, at the latest.

That makes three of us. I have autism, and I am proud. No shame at all.

You have autism too?

I do have a benefit with my autism, I get a disability claim of $700.00.

 

[TheZoologist]

Nice to see so many Banjo & Nintendo fans mingling on here who are on the spectrum! I have Asperger's myself so its great to have common interests with such lovely people ^^

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Oh! Well, I'm an aspie myself actually.

 

[SmashKeks]

*sigh* I don't usually highlight my disabilities or wear them on my sleeve, but if it's to make someone feel better, might as well out myself as on the spectrum as well. Yeah, we're in good company here.

 

[BravadoMan_13]

People that have autism or Aspergers are capable of doing great things. Don't let judgmental people tell you otherwise.

 

[SmashKeks]

People that have autism or Aspergers are capable of doing great things. Don't let judgmental people tell you otherwise.

Oh, of course of course. I'm far from ashamed or downtrodden about it. Nevertheless, I'll admit I probably have a slightly different perspective than most, both outsiders looking in and others on the spectrum. I kind of try to view the facets about me as things that are, but they don't define me nor do I succeed in spite of them, still I've never been one to describe the things becoming more accepted these days about me as part of my identity. I consider myself separate from any thing that makes me slightly different from others going on in the old noggin. I don't consider myself an Autistic person, I consider myself a person who just so happens to have Autism. The fruits of my labor aren't because of or in spite of that fact, they're because of me. I'd rather be known by 100 more interesting things about me, but you could say "...Smashkeks is a guy with a lot of cool stuff about him going on, and he just so happens to be Autistic as well.", but please recognize me for being an aspiring game developer, a damn good singer, an amateur artist, a future Youtuber, etc., you get the picture.

 

[NintenRob]

Holy crap there are a lot of people on the spectrum here, nice to see others like myself

I've been diagnosed with aspergers for as long as I can remember. Don't let it hold me back though, most people I know don't even realize it until I tell them.

 

[Datboigeno]

Well I’m not on the spectrum myself but my younger brother is as are many of the people I work with. I think people who use autism/autistic as an insult are complete pieces of ****

i begrudgingly have it too, you're not alone.

...XD I got everyone off topic again... Sorry!

 

[Majalbatross]

I too am on the spectrum. A reminder to everyone here with autism that it's nothing to be ashamed of; it's merely a way of looking at the world differently and that's ok.

Back on topic, however; post yfw you first heard that Spiral Mountain remix in the reveal trailer.

I mean it doesn't help that Reggie defended loot boxes in an interview. They're a company and will do whatever they feel like they need to to increase profits, so long as the fan uproar isn't enough to hurt profits. I love Nintendo's games, but as a company they aren't exactly the most consumer friendly. Nintendo tax, silent on hardware flaws, insane hardware prices for the quality/features.

 

[shellshocker18]

People thought Nintendo would never charge for online, release unfinished games (like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash for instance), or do all this exploitive microtransactions stuff they are doing with the mobile games. I remember when Pikmin 3 getting DLC was a big deal because people thought Nintendo would never do that. They even do pointless cosmetic DLC, case and point being Mii Costumes, something 10 years ago considered to be heinously greedy.

Where there are pools of money, Nintendo will eventually dip in, including loot boxs. I predict Splatoon being their big online shooter would be where it starts eventually, weapon camos, those little shell upgrade things etc. Pokemon is an easy bet as well. Though Nintendo won't go full EA skinner box immediatly. For example they only charge $20 for a year online, less than Microsoft and Sony. Likewise I expect their Lootbox venture to be "tame" when it first starts, leading to people saying "its not that bad." Sure most big mainline Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda haven't been diluted yet, but odds are it'll happen eventually unless they wanna keep those specific franchises as squeaky clean as possible.


Also since I barely show up to the thread I should say something on topic... I'm dying for Hero to come. I want the Banjo area on the site to be updated soon, I need new screenshots directly hooked to my veins

Wouldn't the "Nintendo tax" be the fault of third parties rather than Nintendo? I can't imagine that Nintendo forced Capcom to charge more for the Resident Evil games than what they cost on every other modern console.

As for the insane hardware prices, don't Nintendo's systems generally cost the same as or less than competing consoles? Joycons can be pretty pricey (where I'm from, they're $100), but looking up system prices, I'm not seeing a huge difference.

 

[NintenRob]

I don't think Nintendo will ever do lootboxes. Especially with a number of governments introducing laws to fight them, and general controversy they cause.


Nintendo despite their flaws are the golden standard for many things. The expect high quality in their games. The release a lot of free updates with a number of their games. They're so demanding of quality they started over Metroid Prime 4 (the PR handling of that was so perfect, there was barely any backlash), they're willing to delay games to avoid crunch. Yeah they're mobile games are a bit shotty, but that's honestly the market. Free to play is what garners attention.

There was even a free to play Kirby game on 3DS that put a limit on how much you could spend.

The higher ups cut their own pay when the company wasn't doing well to avoid firing others.

With regards to the Nintendo tax, some may be third parties, but I'm talking about things like taking an old game, adding barely anything, and adding $10 to the pricetag. As for hardware, they sell a $70 hunk of plastic to hook your Switch up to the TV--if they were to just sell the Switch as is without the dock, it would roughly be in the price range of a Lite, that lacks every feature they could possibly remove. Makes no sense other than to take advantage of those who want the convenience. And for pricey joy cons, they don't offer a pair of cheap, stripped down joy cons (like the Hori L joy con, but in pairs), giving you very little options other than repairing or replacing your broken joy cons at full price, which is more than a typical controller. These are just a fewof many examples.

All that having been said, Nintendo gets away with it because what they make is enjoyable (if not quality, like the joycons), and because they are the biggest name in games with a large legacy, they essentially act as a monopoly, with barely any competition because they are the only ones in the console field actually innovating. Perhaps it's earned, but I would still like Nintendo to be more consumer friendly.

 

[SmashKeks]

No, they won't! THEY WON'T GIVE IN! STOP TALKING LIKE THAT!

Hey, chill out dude. People are entitled to their opinions, even if you disagree, and you probably shouldn't be so quick to insult people on here. The global rules state that Smashboards doesn't allow flaming or trolling, and if calling people punks and using the caps lock symbolic voice raising thing doesn't count as that, it has to be pushing that line pretty close.

Well...I hate it when others talk bad about Nintendo. I know they're opinions, but, it still upsets me that people think Nintendo would stoop to Sony and EA's level of greediness. And it hurts too, I have been a Nintendo fan for 23 years, and hearing others say Nintendo will be greedy, or just outright hate on them, makes me sad.

I can understand that. I too have been a Ninty fan since childhood, first games being Mario World, Pokémon Silver (The OG), and Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. Still, if you like Nintendo so much what other people say shouldn't matter a whole lot to you. They're entitled to their own opinions and the time spent getting mad at people who might see things differently than you do could be better spent ignoring them and knowing what you like and how you feel about Nintendo. After all, for the most part your opinion of Nintendo should be the one that matters to you the most.

That said, I'm sure it's fine to debate other users, just don't resort to name calling and the caps lock thing. I just don't want you catching heat from the mods. We all deserve to feel welcome here after all.

[SmashKeks]

You're right. Though, still believe Nintendo will never resort to lootboxes.

Maybe, maybe not. I certainly agree they might not given the current laws cracking down on lootboxes as gambling. Still, I'll admit that of the lootbox concept, weapon cosmetic skins would be the least egregious as it wouldn't effect the gameplay or actually lock off new weapons. That'd be straight scummy. The supershells I could maaaaybe see, given that the mobile games they're releasing literally are using some admittedly very minor compared to some games pay to play elements, but if there were still ways to get supershells in game I don't think it would be super scummy to offer players the ability to buy some imo, as long as it was a straight buy and not a chance to get 3-5 supersnails via, y'know, lootboxes. And yeah, we're in agreement that pay to win or lootboxes will never come to their mainlines like Mario or Zelda. I can't imagine 1$ boxes to drop a star into a Mario level, or 3$ for a chance for the Master swords maximum power to go from 60 to 70 or other such absurdities.

So don't tell anyone I told you this, but a disgruntled Nintendo employee "accidentally" leaked Banjo Kazooie last month. There was a video, gameplay, and everything. There's also a new Grant Kirkhope remix. All of it shown on the exact time and day of the direct. If you can look closely, you can see them on the website. You can't click on them, however. They even had the gall to hack Smashboards and make them part of the official character discussion. Who would believe it!

Whoever leaked them is gonna get fired. I hope the Nintendo Ninjas are merciful. Apparently, his name is Mashpotato Samurai.
