GamerTrailers.com brought it upon themselves to interview Ryan Stevenson, a concept artist for Rare. Some of the hot topics discussed include Viva Pinata 2, Banjo-Kazooie 3, and Rare's history with Nintendo.
There is serious potential for Viva Pinata 2 to be a solid experience. The first game was not bad in the least bit and as long as Rare continues to build the Viva Pinata brand, more people should be willing to give the sequel a fair chance.
Banjo-Kazooie 3 on the other hand, could make or break Rare's reputation in the eyes of many gamers. The previous games were known best for their great characters, music, and gameplay. But what will "Banjo-Threeie" be remembered for?
Luckily for us, it looks like Rare will remain true to the series -- for the most part. Little has been said about what the actual gameplay will be like, but we do know that Banjo, Kazooie, Grunty, and even Jolly Roger will be making appearances.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Banjo best be good!
I'd love to have the original two as well to play... Sigh...
(looks over at my Wii)
not financially of course, seeing how they're owned by msoft, but reputation wise. and that's more damaging for the 360 because Rare is a first-party developer who's exclusives are supposed to convince gamers to purchase a 360 over a ps3 or Wii.
as for Viva Pinata 2, well...i can't be bothered to explain why it'll fail just like it's predecessor.
COUNT ME AS PUMPED
Banjo Tooie was one of the few games that was even better then the first.
I luvs it.
i'm a huge fan of the Banjo series
i hope at most by this holiday season...
and also will there ever be a Killer Instinct 3?
i can't even imagine KI on my X360 !!!
with all the characters from KI & Ki 2 also included!
C-c-c-c-c-ombo Breaker !!!
oh well, this is definately enough to keep me happy
for a long time!
