MS08: Banjo & Kazooie interview
2008-05-28 13:30:01 by Snoopers
Last week was held the Xbox 360 Showcase in San Francisco, and we've had the great opportunity to spend some quality time with the bests game designers of the Microsoft pool. After our interviews with Shane Kim and Tomonobu Itagaki, let's focus on the very british Salvatore Fileccia, Lead Programmer of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts who shared with us his first comments on the surprising next instalment of Rare's famous platforming series.

Nice one. I think Snooper's concern about vehicle testing will come with single-player trial and error, most people will spend a decent amount of time there doing tutorials and challenges before hitting the online component I'm sure.

Thanks for sharing your impressions. It's exactly how I thought it would play out, Rare struggled to keep the game as intuitive as possible, hopefully they can do it right in Banjo

They just tacked on the Content Creation...
Oh how.... unified....
You cans ee Little Big Planet ahs been amde for it, and I think Microsoft just asked them to involve content creation for Banjo and Kazooie, and it won't work.
Microsoft needs to stop working in the shadow of Sony... it's like they only think they are better at is online, otehrwise Sony is still making allt he first moves, with Mcirosoft quickly mirroing them.

Perhaps you missed all the other games recently that have been focusing on user generated content, because I think you'll find it is no where close to being the first game to support something like this. Spore appears to be the basis for a lot of these upcomming games, and may I say, it still looks to be doing it a lot better than anything else we've seen.
But as for LBP, it's suspicously similar to a game that Peter Molyneux, who works for Microsoft announced back in 2005, and oddly enough a lot of his old team left to work for Sony, making LBP. Hmm..
Either way, who cares who's copying who. More great games are good for anyone, and user generated content is always fun.

It wasn't ever anything to do with Peter Molynuex, in the same way their independant game Rag Doll Kung Fu wasn't. Media Molecule seperated from Lionhead for a reason. Peter Molynuexs only announcement was on a strange game with mirrors teleportation and such. And eitehr way, Microsoft could have taken the opportunity to get Media Molecule, but they didn't, so their promise of user created content is becomign laughable, espeically with a game that sounds as uninpired as this, and is also destroying the franchises heritage.
And Ford GT Guy, that's like asking why the first car didn't have a V8. PS3 hasn't been aroudn as long as XBL, so you have to back up the content issue, now there is XMB and trophies coming.
I am not impressed either way.
