I have it preordered, now waiting for the cancellation ^^.

Rare should really announce "no new Banjo this year" two weeks in advance to every E3. I always build up sub conscious excitement and always end up unhappy about Microsoft's E3 presentation as a consequence. Looking like this year is no different.

This looks great, I am looking forward to it. I would have prefered a Yooka-Tooie, but it's better if the great team at Playtonic does not overdo it in a way that the team loses the passion to make collectathon games.

Seriously, is the first Donkey Kong Country the only platformer where the water levels are relaxing instead heart-skipping stressful? It's not just the music, one feels in control the whole time and doesn't need to replendish air at any point. I even have a shark from those levels as avatar. I'd sa...

With Twelve Tales, the draft is all that exists though. I was told at Gamescom that they actually thought about ioncluding it, but could not for security reasons (unfinished, untested game code on the emulator could prove troublesome). I was very sad when I heard that .

Happy birthday indeed, thank you for 20 fun years!

Out of their mouth?

Over nine hours in I can just say: Let them babble their nonsense, Yooka is amazing .

I would prefer Yooka-Laylee 2, especially since there is absolutely no scarcity of third person shooters. Even using a comic style, Insomniac is doing basically nothing else. If they make a game starring her, I hope it is not a JFG sequel.

I'm a phd student in computer science, so no, the programming is no problem (besides the obvious thing of getting used to programming for a 3d video game, which requires some math that is not used in what I usually do in computer science). But what is more of a problem is always thinking about perfo...

I have to disagree with 3D platformers being a particularly simple genre to get right with Unity. 2D games are much more easily made with Unity. It is not a particularly high hurdle technically, to make a 3D platformer in Unity (it is really an engine that offers everything you need there), but to ...

No, they are not. Be warned though that you are sparing the easiest and most boring dungeon in the game for the last this way. Yeah well, too late. But i heard about this before, so I'm keeping my expectations low. Getting all shrines is my first priority anyway, even if the search is tough. About ...

You only need to defeat three (specific) beasts to play all shrines. The is not required.

Can you get everything in the game before beating the final boss?

It is important to note that framerate is not necessarily tied to updates. E.g. in Unity you can use fixedupdate to make sure that the controls are read in fixed intervals. Though, if the framerate is not consistent, this can lead to some really nasty behaviour...

noob question , what mean game performance? and what mean 60 constant% i see this time to time , i never really understand what it mean.. and to me its not mean a lot.. anyway i'm sure the game will be awesome. OK, you know that some games are very fluid (like, for instance Mario Galaxy), whereas o...

The only refunds that were issued, as far as I know, were for the Wii U version being cancelled and weren't they be given right away?
