Not a huge fan of this, but whatever.

Yes. Can confirm and give sources if needed.

Give source. When is this game out?

I want to FUCK that chameleon.

Ooh! Neat!

Wish I'd have gotten in the flipstarter, didn't have cash at the time. I want that physical and the shirt.

>FLAOT1

I WANT THIS GAME
I NEED IT IN MY ANUS
GIVE IT TO ME

Is vendi going to be voiced be a sassy niggress?

This looks like nuts and bolts .

Why does this look like nuts and bolts ?

For the record, this game's character designer is Steve Mayles, who was the character designer for Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie and also Nuts & Bolts. I guess it's just his style nowadays.

What if this game shows us that rare has always been shit and they just lost their touch.

...

>rare has always been shit

I want to see it in motion with the music and everything.

>Oh mah lawd, you've done collected enough tokens for a new upgrade Sweeties! Mm-hmmm yessir!

Vendi looks like one of the books from The Page master.

>rare has always been shit guy!
>they just lost their touch?

Pardon? To "lose their touch" you're implying they were good at some point , but then you say they were never good to begin with. Think people you speak, son.

What if this game shows us that Rare has always been shit and it was just nostalgia convincing you that Banjo was a good series at all?

This will happen.

She will also call you "child"

hey now, snake rattle n roll and battletoads were good

I think it looks great. It looks like the aesthetic Rare would attempt to make on the N64. if you look at those games, the big blurry textures showed a lot of detail that we're now seeing fleshed out in proper 3D.

Don't cut yourself with the edge kid.
Rare one of the few consistently solid developers. You might not like what they have become (who does?) but you cannot deny the footprint they have made.

>Think people you speak, son.

Damn, guess I need to do the same as well.

>Think people you speak, son.
Lmao

>Think people you speak, son.
This is going to be my new catchphrase.

Banjo 1 and 2 are very good games. But I do feel like they get overrated like crazy these days. I don't know what happened, but it was like a generation finally grew up, and one day everyone on Sup Forums started sucking BK's dick in every thread.
Sup Forums treats BK like this legendary game.

But if you really examine the game, it's really very childish. Even moreso than I think other games of it's kind are. And the gameplay largely consists of "go here, and activate the corresponding power at this button for your reward".

I feel like a large part of it's praises is nostalgia. Which I why I'm hoping the new game does more than BK did in terms of controls and skill execution.

>Think people you speak, son.

is this the birth of a new ebin maymay

So this is set to release next year isn't it? The mentioned some window right?

>that nose
>those eyes

i feel like she could be really cute but it just comes off as creepy

The release window has been October 2016 ever since they launched the kickstarter May of last year.

If it's like cloud cuckoo land then it's fine

alternatively if the villain is behind it it's also fine

I'm fine with it if there's an explanation

I agree

Can you explain the negative connotations of a video game being childish

Children's tastes lack nuance, and higher levels of complexity. This applies to everything from gameplay, to music, to visual style. Across all media, and everything, things that are made for kids tend to be very obtusely configured, and basic.

So then you must hate every game released since like 2004

Nah. I'm not retarded enough to believe every game is equally as childish as Banjo Kazooie.

From Banjo Tooie

you can make things for children that have all those things. i think that a better word would be 'unsophisticated'

But gameplay has only become arguably less complex over time

by your definition most of modern video games are practical infantile

i saw this meme happen

There's scarier imagery in Little Nemo.

No way. Pretty much any platformer today is way more technically complex than Banjo Kazooie. BK gives the false impression of complexity, by gating off areas, unless you collect 100 jiggijojos or whatever.

>Think people you speak, son.
What did he mean by this?

>BK gives the false impression of complexity, by gating off areas, unless you collect 100 jiggijojos or whatever

Confirmed for not playing the game

The level of sophistication is generally gauged by the maturity level of the intended audience.

I 100% both games. But nice adhominem.

For some reason, floating platforms imply more platforming to me, so I'm pretty happy with that.

The issue with that statement is that this applies to most people (Including me, just depends on the field. I'm not one of those people that call everyone but themselves sheep.).

Children's entertainment however is just stuck with that stereotype openly and in turn that tends to feed back into itself.
Children have no taste because children's media is tasteless and children's media is tasteless because children have no taste.

What about Spyro on PS1?
Jesus, that game took the simplicity in collecting and platforming to the extreme, far more than Banjo.

>yfw you got toybox coming

Cheesasaurus rex?

You still can can't you?
>TFW I changed it to the physical version

it's generally gauged that way but it's fallicious to assume that it works that way, or that you can generalize the 'maturity level' of any given demographic

What? No, it doesn't apply to everyone.

Children's entertainment can vary, that's true. There's good kids entertainment, and poor kids entertainment. But it's still inside the realm of children's entertainment. Sesame Street was an awesome children's TV show. But no matter how detailed the world was, or cleverly written the characters were, it was still basic. When you get out of your childhood, your tastes should have developed to the point, where you're no longer stimulated by such entertainment. You shouldn't think to go out of your way to watch sesame street. Maybe it's time to move up to the Muppets?

Never played it myself, but it certainly appears very childish.

You most certainly can generalize the maturity level based on age. Our entire society does this. You can't drink until you're 21(or 18), you can't drive until you're 16. You can't vote until you're 18. You can consent to sex with an adult, until you're 18.
Games are rated by groups E, T, M, A. Or by age.

Generalizing the maturity level of entertainment by the age of it's audience, is absolutely possible.

>tfw you are going to pirate it

Fucking earthbound inspired indie games

>western society got it infallibly right

its so fucking dumb it might just work

we found one. we found a mature gamer who only buys mature games for mature gamers.

Fuck off kid you're like 17 at the oldest

>You most certainly can generalize the maturity level based on age
but then people like you show up and make the system questionable

QUADS

>people dont' like floating platforms

so it really is possible for someone to be literally worse than Hitler

i think you're confusing 'maturity' as in 'this has an M rating' with maturity as in 'only mature audience will understand this work'.

anyone of any age can buy a copy of the iliad but that doesn't make it 'immature'

>The exceptions to the rule disprove the rule.
>I don't know what "generalization" actually means.

Said the user making an ad hominem.

underrate post

new meme

>Never played it myself, but it certainly appears very childish.

I'll compare the two games.

The moveset in Banjo Kazooie (The first one) is quite big for a 3D platformer. I won't go through all of the moves since you've apparently played it before, but I'll say, Banjo-Kazooie had far more moves than you actually needed.

Compare the moveset in Spyro, released the same year, which is limited to jumping, gliding, headbutting and breathing fire, and the occasional stage where you can fly.

The collectables in Banjo involve
Notes
Jiggies
Red feathers
Gold feathers
Eggs
Extra Lives
Honeycombs

Spyro has
Gems
Extra Lives
Health pickups (butterflies)
Key item/object (Orbs, eggs ect.)

Banjo's controls were more complex too, and many moves involved holding down one button and pressing another at the same time to activate it.
Spyro only used 3 buttons. Jump, headbutt, and fire-breath. That's all you'll need to get through the game.

Banjo also had some innuendo (it sequel was PACKED with them) that would go over any kids head, but in the Spyro PS1 trilogy, I cannot remember a single moment where there was anything remotely questionable in a kids game.

I love both games, as I find them both fun and addictive. There are games far more childish than Banjo, and Spyro is one of them. It's fine if games with childish themes and bright colors don't suit your tastes, but understand that there are lots of people here who like it as much as they also enjoy more adult games as well.

>Implying Hitler was a bad guy
Floating platform fans, everyone.

spyro's soundtrack and art design, on the other hand, were quite sophisticated, much moreso than banjo's

It's called tone. Spyro was more sophisticated than the more silly Banjo, because their themes suited both of them appropiately. Doesn't make Spyro any less childish.

you grow out of this mindset of "only mature things for mature people such as myself" when you get older
perhaps try this discussion again when you're at least 20?

That slotmachine guy based on the mexican slotmachines from earthbound?

>Think people you speak, son.
I don't get it.

Wow that world looks so copy paste it hurts.

put me in the screencap

Found the Barney fags.

No, I think you and the others saw the mention of a rating system, and lost focus of the point. The point being that generalizations are possible. Of course not all M rated games go beyond a child's maturity level. And not all E rated games go below an adults maturity level. But that doesn't prevent generalizations from existing.

If you take works the appeal to a certain demographic, deconstruct it, look at it's parts, you can see how it's elements work to appeal to the demographic.
When you look at games that appeal to people of a certain age group, it's elements reveal itself to be more basic and obtuse than games that appeal to people of another age group.

make sure I take up unnecessary amounts of space in the screenshot

>giving up this quickly

fucking lazy

THINK PEOPLE YOU SPEAK, SON

So you're telling me, it's totally not weird for an adult to go out of his way to watch Sesame Street?

Let's say a new season of the show was announced. And it's premiering this fall. You think that *generally speaking* adults should be excited to tune in?

More like Jewka-Shitpee
Or Pookaka-Gaylee
Or just shit looking game

Give up? I don't know what you mean.

Confirmed a new epic maymay

Yes.

Don't worry man it all happens to us especially in the stone age

Quads on Sup Forums. What a day

>generalizations are possible
but you've not given any reason why they're valid
you've just made the generalisation and stated it like it's true
you've already been given plenty of reasons why it's not correct

if i might be able to give you another generalization: who are the group that cares the most about maturity? what is the demographic that hates the idea of being viewed as 'immature'? who are the demographic who cares the most about what their peer group thinks of them, to the extent that they let it govern their tastes in music\games\books or whatever? if you think i'm calling you an edgy teenager, you are correct

>More like Jewka-Shitpee
>Or Pookaka-Gaylee
>Or just shit looking game

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you trying to tell us why we as adults cannot enjoy something that doesn't have guns, blood and/or explosions?
Are you saying some of us shouldn't sit down and enjoy something that's more simple and less complicated than the usual mature action game?
If you don't enjoy these types of games, that's okay, and it's fine to tell us why you think these types of games don't tickle your fancy, as it's interesting. But the way you keep going makes it seem like you're trying to stop us from enjoying said games like Banjo or Spyro, am I right or not?

I'm really failing to see the point of this whole argument.

this maturity argument is pretty autistic

yes banjo kazooie is obviously childish in tone. it's clearly also intended to appeal to adults, as a lot of the most successful children's entertainment often does. you can find darkness and irony in all the rare platformers despite the fact that it's being enacted by cuddly animals.

many games, and especially platformers themselves, are essentially virtualisations of how children actually play in the physical world. running around and jumping over and onto things, monkey bars and so on. it's no wonder they're childish in tone. an obviously comparable mascot is mario, who is arguably much more of a childish caricature than the characters in banjo kazooie, and the mario games are most certainly not just for kids. same with the simpsons. same with spike milligan. same with star wars.

it's very easy to misattribute 'complexity' to things that are more mature in tone when actually they are very simple. the assassin's creed games are obviously intended at least for those teenage and up, but the gameplay is actually rather brainless and i would compare it unfavourably to banjo kazooie or donkey kong 64. there is obviously a whole set of mature games which are far more complex than banjo kazooie but i don't think conflating that complexity with the 'maturity' of the subject matter or music or whatever is correct.

A new meme has been born.
