I think the idea for the vehicles is awsome. They're completley customizable and although they will probablly replace Mumbo transformations (no more washing machine) this is the kind of change that can bring platformers back. Ratchet and Clank attached themselves to shooting, Jak attached to sandbox, Mario is created by a crazy man no one else can think like, and now banjo is attached to custom vehicular combat.

Mario taught me one thing with galaxy, the only time I enjoyed it was when I was doing something new. Collecting the coins at the end just to get Luigi felt like video game boot camp. Just returning to spiral mountain in fancy HD would have been boring for the new Banjo. We would have got all excited for it, and then realized it was a let down (Twilight Princess style)

If this was announced as a new IP everyone would have instantly fell in love with it. As long as the same humor and great characters from the old games are there this will not be a dissapointment but it will remind us why we liked Rare and Banjo in the first place.

How many new Kazooie abilities, Egg types, and animal powers can there really be? This series needs this change and give us an infinite amount of creative input in the main mechanic will make this a (the?) 2008 standout.

Personally I like the new ideas, but they don't fit. Banjo-Kazooie is a platformer, and this should have been a new IP.
The problem is, I adore Twilight Princess.
I actually don't feel one way or the other about this game. I've played the other titles in the series, and thought they were great. It's just recently that the "platform' genre has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. (I'm looking at you Super Mario Galaxy, yuck.) The game does look spiffy, but I'm holding out on any more judgment until I see the game in action.
I agree with Jonathan, Twilight Princess was amazing. I still cant decide if I like it more than OoT. Anyways. I know BK:NB will be good, I just wish that instead of platforming being pretty much the bitch feature of the game, that whatever this vehicle stuff is be in that position. I would much rather have it as a feature, not the whole game like it is being portrayed.

And what the fuck is with putting racing in games that don't need it? Thats terrible trend that I think has gone unnoticed which needs to stop. Hell, I don't even want to race in GTA. Its pointless!
Yeah, it seems far too un-platformer to still be the same Banjo-Kazooie. Even though Jak and Ratchet focused on specific things, those things never detracted from the platforming like this game looks like it will. Though I do think the idea for the game is cool, but it just shouldn't be called "Banjo-Kazooie" if you can't even USE Kazooie (yeah, she can apparently use a wand to hold stuff.. that's great.......). Though I guess that's why Rare doesn't seem to be emphasizing a number to this game like it did with 2 (sorta).. it's not going to be the same classic B-K.
I liked Twilight Princess. It was a ZELDA GAME, and that's how it played, and played out. Banjo-Kazooie should be just that, a Banjo-Kazooie-esque collect-a-thon with the same characters, Jiggys, musical notes, Kazooie shooting eggs, oh, and most importantly...


JINJOOOOOOOOO! WEE!
I agree with you, its hilarious to me when gamers get something different and all they can do is bitch and gripe and demand that it goes back to more of the same.
twilight princess is one of my 5 favorites of all time that dont mean it was more of the same OOT formula
