Original Banjo-Kazooie team working on the latest installment in the series

The folks who brought us Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie are back and working on their latest game which is set to appear on Xbox 360. Hopefully the game won't take too long to make, because it is Rare's first Xbox 360 title that wasn't originally meant for a Gamecube or Xbox release. We've all had our doubts in Rare. Seriously, who actually thinks Perfect Dark Zero is a good game? Then again, this is a great team and they were nice enough to mention a few clues about the game:

I think where we are with that game right now is something that is extremely innovative," he continued. "We're not talking about the game idea yet, but what you'll see coming from Banjo is a game that has even more depth than Banjo-Kazooie or Banjo-Tooie, more variability, more gameplay - but keeps the face that is Banjo on the game to make it more approachable. It'll be familiar to fans of the originals in terms of style, absolutely, and in terms of setting, story and characters. In terms of it being another platformer? I think that genres evolve, and that's what we're doing with this game. So you might call it something else when it comes out - but it's the same team and it's staying true to that team and what it believes in. There's some very good gameplay in the game, but we want to show it in a way that creates the excitement that it should. We're probably a little ways away - not too far - but a little ways away from showing it in all its glory. But the gameplay is already solid.
