It's "Eng-er-land", fool. Have you never heard the terraces chanting?!

And to everyone asking for pre-announcement announcements, just chill. Something is coming soon but anyone expecting us to 1. give you a straight answer before then or 2. actually tell you what that something is therefore defeating the point of the actual announcement, will be disappointed as we're remaining tightlipped so the surprise isn't spoiled.

Compare this entire situation to Christmas, if we let you open your presents early you'd have nothing to open of the day itself and would have to sit around glumly whilst everyone else gleefully unwrapped their's, probably rubbing it in, too.

Now, no matter how many people respond with "I don't care, I'll happy ruin Chirstmas day for myself", I aim to be a strict parent and refuse to tell you where said presents are hidden... although I can't wait to see the look on your face when you actually do open them.

Are you saying you actually know what's going to be announced on the 13th? I thought they didn't tell you anything over on the VP team!

Classic - made me chuckle.

Banjo was not only known for its great gameplay but also its excellent graphics. When it came out on the N64 it simply blew other games out of the water in terms of graphics and detail. Is Banjo 3 going to keep its rep for great gpahics as well? Will it look better than Kameo? Just curious, at least that will wet my appetite and hold me over til the 13th!!
Banjo 3 is probably the best looking game Rare has ever made. I think it's fair to say that it's drop-dead gorgeous.

I bloody adore crisps - in fact you've just caught me polishing off a pack of Quavers and it's not even 10 AM!

Why don't you just say it's the best looking game ever made? Then IGN and the like quote you and, voila, Banjo-Publicity-Man to the rescue!

Traditionally, nothing looks better than a Rare game. They simply set the standard.

However, that might seriously be saying something this generation.

On water effects. I remember one of the Kameo developers saying way back then that Kameo's water effects were more "mathematically correct" than Conker's. What do you have to say about BK3's water effects?

It's worth a shot.

If I was to threaten the safety of the entire world's population with, say, a nuclear weapon, would you be able to tell us any info on the upcomming game before May 13th? Hypothetical question, of course.

From the very beginning, Rare has been a half a generation ahead of everyone else graphically.

Over here in the SOUTH (Canadian south) we call your country Eng-ie-land. Don't you forget it, either, Eng-er-lish.

well I just marked the 13th on my calendar since tomorrow is the first of may. I'm the kind of person that likes to wait till Christmas to see what I get , so thanks for not blowing the surprise for those of us patiently waiting for the info. Rare is the best video game company around and the most tight lipped company in human history. the C.I.A isn't even close to rare when it comes to leaks. Rare should be in charge of the C.I.A here in the USA. We would be more secure that way.

You don't have to say what it is...




(...psst... is that one of the bits of info we'll get on, or after, May 13th?)

I forgot to ask this, and I'm sure it's been answered somewhere before, but will Grunty go back to rhyming in Banjo 3, or will she keep talking like a normal person?

Yes, Gregg stated this in the "12 Questions" thread.


The suspense is killing me! Can't we at least know the name of the game we're all waiting so patiently for? Pretty please?

Edit: Darn! Bottles beat me again!
