Re: Banjo-Kazooie Revival Would Be 'Instantly Hated' By Some Fans, Says Original Composer

@smoreon While I'm glad you don't disagree with my point, I do feel the need to clarify that GR and N&B aren't spin-offs? They're different from Kazooie and Tooie, but they've always been considered mainline titles by Rare - justifiably so, given how they both follow the established collectathon formula(and yes, N&B is technically a collectathon at its core - just with a very different plan and execution).

Also, while I'm sure there'd be an interest in a new Banjo, it doesn't change the fact that a new one is very unlikely nowadays. A lot of the core devs behind those games left Rare, who have gone in a different direction, while Microsoft is pretty much just all talk and no follow-through.

@smoreon Tooie was well-received at launch, yes, but nowadays people are split on whether or not it's additions either enhance the experience or bloat and hinder it. Grunty's Revenge, while decent wasn't all that remarkable - enough that most people tend to ignore its existence. And the fact that you yourself are so averse to Nuts & Bolts still proves that there's still vitriol towards that title regardless of any positive qualities it possessed.

Really, nothing you've said here actively diminishes the point I made, or Grant's point for that matter - that most fans wouldn't be satisfied with a new Banjo unless it was exactly like that first one, with no unnecessary hitches, which itself is a flawed idea I feel.
