Okay, well, here's another tip. Don't double post, edit your posts.

I was just joking. You have to admit, it was kind of funny.

Hey, hey, don't worry about it guy's. I already said it was cool, so don't worry about it. I freshened up on the rules and such a bit, so it's fine. Just let it fly. Don't need a Banjo/Grunty fight goin' on in the forums, am I right?

I heard on gamespot that the look that banjo has, has something to do with the story

That's interesting. Let's look a bit harder at that. I know that the main thing that people see when they look at the new Banjo design is the neo-cubist design employed.

Perhaps this correlates with the time-travel design to give a stylized visual "reminder" of sorts to the days on the N64 in which everything, because of the technology, was blocky and square.

Or maybe his new "blocky" shape refers to "tower blocks"!!! ZOMG PLOT SLOLVED!!!11

I think either story 3 or 4 would be cool. As long as it's not story 1 (EWW- banjo and grunty!), 2 (won't be though) or 5 (AHH!)

[MumboShaman7]

Huh?? 1, 2, 3, and 4?? What are you referring to???

1/4/08: Disinformation Central '08

Rumour One: Banjo and Grunty team up against a new threat, falling in love in the process.
Sexy post-transformation Grunty makes a return and proves irresistible to our heroic bear, much to Kazooie's disgust. Can the mismatched trio defeat their fire-breathing foe?

Rumour Two: Kazooie is abducted by aliens and Banjo heads out to search the cosmos.
Partway through his low-gravity exploits, he discovers who's taken her... and it's a familiar face from the Rare archives who has been 'turned to the green side' by Grunty.

Rumour Three: Banjo and Kazooie travel back through time in pursuit of the witch's giant T.I.T.
Grunty drives her Time Interfering Truck back to before the bear and bird met. The duo must reintroduce themselves and relearn everything they know in a completely new way!

Rumour Four: Banjo comes out of retirement to stop his home being redeveloped into tower blocks and malls.
To end the struggle, a capricious higher power engineers a bear/witch showdown through worlds of the imagination – with Spiral Mountain's ownership deeds going to the victor.

Rumour Five: War comes to Spiral Mountain, and Banjo becomes a reluctant leader.
Ever seen a Jinjo Tank? Or Grunty's Grappling Grenadier Grunts? You will when you take on our innovative RTS-platformer hybrid campaign.

So what do you think? Which one's true? Any of them, or did we make them all up? Nah, we're not that bad. Are we?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this answered your question of what he was referring too.

[BanjoForever]

I really think that Plot 5 is the one

(War comes to Spiral Mountain, and Banjo becomes a reluctant leader. Ever seen a Jinjo Tank? Or Grunty's Grappling Grenadier Grunts?
You will when you take on our innovative RTS-platformer hybrid campaign.)

Because it says "RTS-platformer" and Gregg Mayles also mentioned “The new game, Banjo-Needsanamie, adopts a different approach due to its core gameplay mechanic. It will all become clear when we actually reveal what we have been up to these last few years, but for now all I’m going to say is that the player will determine the difficulty level by how they approach the Jiggy tasks. The same task could be really simple and take just a few seconds for some players, but others may find it very hard and take hours.”

Thus RTS makes perfect sense and Banjo becoming a reluctant leader is pretty cool. Just put 2 and 2 together.

again, keep these quotes in mind:
"There's a little truth in all of them"
"It's still part of the whole banjo thing"
"This remains a banjo game"

it's not going to be EXCLUSIVELY an RTS. MAYBE RTS elements, but not completely an RTS...

[WaywornMmmmm]

If this game has any RTS elements in it, someone needs a good head kicking.
