YoshiBlade Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I think everyone should go back and play BK ( and I suppose BT)...and pause to realize that at every single single level of game play does something new. I mean think about, in Mario64 we all remember Bob-omb Battlefield, but each level becomes slightly less than the last CoolCool Mountain> Dire Dire Docks>Tick Tock Clock the worlds kind of run together, they had sharp gameplay, but nothing new is introduced control or gameplay wise. Each level in BK introduced a new mechanism to further the plot and the gameplay and that is why ( at least for me) it give a whole gameplay experience Rusty Bucket Bay = Gruntilda's lair= Treasure-Trove Cove=Golbi Dessert. They did near everything with that N64 controller and you could call it total controller utilization...I'm interested to see if they'll just try and cash in on a platformer, with ZaNy Nuuu ChAraCteRs...DAAAAWWG!!!! Or do what they...were....best at, specifically innovative inputs and gameplay. I'm kind of skeptically due to the cross platform nature...What works on the WiiU probably isn't going to work on the Xbox or Ps4, which leads me to believe the gameplay aspect is going to be watered down so they can expand their market...I hope not, I hope that the cross platform endeavors causes them to obliterate my expectations of how we play platformers, post Super Mario Galaxy... (ps music is gonna be on point either way...sooooo buy it for the soundtrack) Quote
Mirby Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 Quite excited for it, and the bit of music we can hear already has that BK feel. Glad Grant's still got it :3 Quote
JH Sounds Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 The big question for me is what platform(s) it'll be on. I can maybe get it running on my PC, but if it's going to consoles I can probably just borrow my brother's PS4. I jumped off the whole gaming thing for years now, but this game could be worth jumping back in. Quote
Sixto Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 This looks great! I've been dying to play a new 3D platformer. Quote
Modus Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 I DECLARE MYSELF THE BIGGEST BANJO FAN ON THIS FORUM And I don't like reptiles, but I will deal with it. Also I liked Nuts and Bolts, a lot. Quote

Liontamer Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 That Kickstarter's crushing it on Day 1. Good for them! Quote
Neifion Posted May 1, 2015 Author Posted May 1, 2015 Wow good to see this get so much support right off the bat Off the "Bat" you say...? Quote
linkspast Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I am so excited. Did you hear the music. It sounds just like it should Quote
Mirby Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 at about £850,000 in a little under 12 hours, which is over $1,000,000 USD Fastest game to reach a million in Kickstarter history Quote
jnWake Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 This looks lovely. I'll definitely buy it when it comes to Wii U. Quote
DrumUltimA Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 WOW. I can't believe it reached it's highest stretch goal (1,000,000 pounds) within a day! I'm really excited for this. Also, I REALLY want to find a way to record for this game. As you can see from the following tweet: https://twitter.com/ocremix/status/594205870583578624 Quote
Brandon Strader Posted May 2, 2015 Posted May 2, 2015 I like the graphics, the movement can still be refined a bit, and the music sounds pretty dated quality-wise... but this game should be awesome when it's done I would get it on PS4.. not many games like Knack and this being made these days.

Modus Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I hope the orchestral score is light and lets the retro-ness breathe. Something far, far away from Mario Galaxy. Quote
Nabeel Ansari Posted May 3, 2015 Posted May 3, 2015 I hope the orchestral score is light and lets the retro-ness breathe. Something far, far away from Mario Galaxy. Mario Galaxy 1&2 are some of the best Mario soundtracks of all time. :/ In any case, there are WIP's on the Kickstarter page, and Grant + Dave Wise are the composers, so no one can do the "original vibe" better than them.

Modus Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Two days left! As long as too many people don't back out, it looks like they will reach their final stretch goal. Quote

Modus Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Don't forget their final stretch is in pounds, not US dollars Quote
