Indeed XD

 

[Nibel]

The thirst is real

 

[reKon]

only 10k more!

 

[Jito]

So torn by this, love Banjo Kazooie and have been waiting for a sequel or spiritual successor for years now, but I'm wary of Kickstarter and all the horror stories over the years of games never releasing or matching their promises.

It looks like it'll meet all the goals without my tiny contribution anyway so I'll give it a miss.

 

[Rich!]

Hm. Console or steam?

Steam is £5 cheaper...but having it on a Nintendo console would feel sooooo right.

I would be using a Wii U Pro controller either way

 

[Forkball]

God awful name but it's been so long since a high-quality non-Mario 3D platformer came out. You don't know what you've got till it's gone.

 

[-MD-]

Gonna be 100% funded in 40 minutes, holy fuck...

 

[Kyleripman]

Thrilled that this is pretty much funded already. It's been like 25 minutes. I feel like I need to go home and play B-K or something.

 

[Rich!]

Gonna be 100% funded in 40 minutes, holy fuck...

Its fucking insane

Its like, £1k per second. Fuck me.

 

[MCN]

Gonna be 100% funded in 40 minutes, holy fuck...

This is unreal!

 

[Geg]

lol scratch what I said about them making the 175,000 in a few hours, at this rate they're only a few minutes away

 

[ramparter]

Whos paying for this game to get made? Theyre asking for 250k, which is impossibly low for a game like this, so are they getting funding from somewhere else?

They already said they had some funding, kickstarter was so they could go for more. Man I didn't expect this to go that fast. It will be amazing if they reach that 1 million!

 

[Breakless]

Backed in 38 minutes!! Is this some kind of KS record?!

 

[hydruxo]

Backed! The David Wise track is just incredible.

 

[Kriken]

Man the console versions are the very last stretch goal at $1 million? Makes me hesitant to pledge but I may just bite.

That's for a simultaneous release. It means that the PC/PS4/WiiU/Xbone would all release day 1 as opposed to console versions being released say 6 months later

 

[Zalman]

Backed. The music sold me.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hey remember when Banjo Kazooie 3 got transformed into some kind of vehicle game because supposedly 3D platformers didn't hold any interest anymore?

 

[Kouriozan]

And funded in 38 mins, gratz Playtonic.

 

[Nzyme32]

Already backed, can't complain when the Steam version is £10! Nice to see the speedy rate at which they have already passed the target goal. They'll probably need more stretch goals

 

[Vital Tundra]

My hopes and dreams have now officially come true.

Ill check back in 24 hours and see how its going.

 

[Slowdive]

Funded already.

 

[Shard]

And funded.

 

[wwm0nkey]

Funded!

 

[Nosgoroth]

Aaaand funded. 39 minutes by my watch.

 

[Chris Ticehurst]

I have never been so happy for a game in years. My 90's teen child in me is going crazy.

 

[YianGaruga]

Congratulations

 

[JoeM86]

And it hit £175k in 38 minutes

 

[Roubjon]

That's insane how it's already funded.

 

[Original Famous Ray]

Well that was quick. lol Congrats to the Playtonic folks.

 

[hydruxo]

Aaaand funded. So good to see the demand for this is high.

 

[lt519]

And now we play the waiting game for 18 long months..

 

[kubus]

Aaaand funded.

Goddamn. 39 minutes is all it took.

 

[Wiggy]

Backed in 38 minutes!! Is this some kind of KS record?!

Nah someone said before pebble watch 2 (Pebble Harder) made like a mill in 50 mins

 

[bede-x]

It's funded already!

That was fast.

 

[Xiao Hu]

Well done

 

[Schryver]

Will back before this is over. Banjo is one my all time favorites

 

[Hero of Legend]

IT IS DONE!!!

 

[ffdgh]

Annnd Success!

 

[RGamer2009]

FUNDED. Now onto the stretch goals!

This is gonna be amazing!

 

[Par Score]

Goal met inside of 40 minutes.

I guess people miss Rare?

 

[Brian_FETO]

3D platformers are dead. There's simply no demand for them

 

[Dr Dogg]

Well with a month and a half to go I imagine those stretch goals are going to get a hammering.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Absolutely incredible! Congrats Playtonic!

 

[Blablurn]

Congratulations!

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

This thing is gonna easily exceed all of the stretch goals. Looking forward to the final product

 

[Candescence]

And it's already funded. Bloody hell, Playtonic, hope you budgeted this thing right. Though considering you got the prototype done in three months without any funding, I imagine once this ends you'll have more than enough to drive the development into high gear.

 

[TumblingHippo]

God awful name

Yooka-Laylee > Banjo-Kazooie in terms of names

Yooka-Laylee is the better pun, and better puns are what video games need now.

 

[Richie]

Who wants to bet it reaches its third stretch goal by the end of the day?

 

[Omega Kirby]

Yes yes in my blood

 

[TMC]

Backed. So glad this is happening!
