Some of the old Rare members want to make a banjo-tooie spiritual successor. First of all, ! Second of all, they don't have any money or support. They opened up a twitter page today to see how many people are interested, and presumably if enough people are, they'll start a kickstarter. But right now: go to this link for details, and then follow.

Gunna join twitter just to give support. The only thing that Would make it better would be if they made it for nintendo

What does SPIRITUAL successor mean?

What does SPIRITUAL successor mean?

It means it won't be the Banjo brand but will be similar in gameplay.

What does SPIRITUAL successor mean?

is a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.

Joining twitter to support, and if they do get a kick starter I will support them on that too!

The only thing that could make this better is if they revealed that they've bought the rights from Microsoft for Banjo Kazooie.

I'm sure you came up with that definition yourself.

Eeeee-nope.

A spiritual successor, sometimes called a spiritual sequel or a companion piece, is a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.

An example of this is the N64 Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. Neither game was related to the other, but the gameplay style/setup/everything else was very similar.

Wait, if they wanted to make a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie, why would they need the rights?

Or are you just wanting some "HAHA MICROSOFT, YOU LOSE!"

I hope its something awesome...and on Nintendo ..only...lol

Well, I was thinking more along the lines of "better direct sequel" than "spiritual remake" in my thoughts.

The "HAHA MICROSOFT, YOU LOSE" part would be a nice bonus though.

Rare lost me after they got bought by Microsoft. Sure, Banjo "Threeie" was planned, scrapped, replaced by Banjo X, development hell, banjo racing, whatever... NUTSANBOLTZ! Unless they really want to make a good game, I don't know.

But a kickstarter of all things? My god, they better not charge a ridiculous amount because they could get what they need from Microsoft or Nintendo. They have to suffer a loss in profits for languages and release crap, but they shouldn't just skip out and take advantage of the fans.
Microsoft isn't stupid and would take advantage of this situation, the same goes for nintendo; so I doubt the group has little support if they are making this public.

You don't get it. Ex Rare employees from Rare's hayday want to get back together and make a spiritual successor to Banjo, because they can't make an actual banjo game, as that belongs to actual Rare.

[Xiombarg]

I know they can't make a Banjo game, but I don't see why they wont get any actual support or if they are rejecting it.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Because...

It'd be like Keiji Inafune all over again.
