Who wants a Banjo without the talent behind it? It's dead, get over it. Playtonic Games is where it's at now.

Never in the history of videogames have new people tackled someone else's IP successfully, right?
Meanwhile, Playtonic games is just a very small bunch of people (without a major publisher funding them), being partially responsible for some success way over a decade ago. It totally never went wrong putting hope in something like that. Just look at the beautifully shitty Batman game the ,,talent behind Metroid Prime'' gave us, for example. lol. Look how the ,,mastermind behind Deus Ex'' gave people the horrid Epic Mickey 2, while other people actually made a new critically acclaimed title in the former series.

Kampheld is an indie developer. If he's claiming to have worked on Crackdown, that's bullshit. Did he actually claim to have worked/be working on Crackdown?
He suggested a while back that he was changing jobs.

Honestly ... Would be a blast So good childhood memories ... But no. Current project is Crackdown.

Ironic, considering Naughty Dog once called you out for something "similar"

I'd like to take the opportunity to state that Kampfheld is not a dev working on the next Crackdown, or is in any way associated with Cloudgine. I very rarely post in forums, and won't comment again, but as the co-founder of Cloudgine I can 100% state that all his comments should be ignored. Mods can feel free to reach out to me to verify.

Another proponent of "the power of the cloud", outed as a bullshit artist? That's certainly a strange and unexpected development.Honestly ... Would be a blast So good childhood memories ... But no. Current project is Crackdown.

were you about to post another breaking kotaku story?Is there anything as entertaining as "GAF insider" drama?

Oh well, stick him on the pile with Penello and company.

He may as well be, looking at how post count fell off the face of the earth once the truth came out.Penello isn't banned is he?
Or Haze or Haze. Never forget.Ah yes a rushed old IP revival surely would have guaranteed quality!
And MSFT sure has a history of handling their IP in a respectful and professional manner.
At this point Killer Instinct is the odd one out instead of a trend.
And no need to shit on Playtronic, they've just started.
They can end up like Retro Studio (ex Iguana guys) or they can end up like Molyneux.

Someone decoded it
Before that he was implying he was tight with the Preview Dashboard team and passing on details to them.
Before that he was an indie dev working on a game that might use the cloud.
At this point Killer Instinct is the odd one out instead of a trend.
And no need to shit on Playtronic, they've just started.

Or Haze or Haze. Never forget.
There's no trend or rule, it could go either way. That's the point. But relying solely on crude name dropping of a few alleged ,,former greats'' for a project backfires way too often (and not only in games either).
In the end I'd be more hopeful for a 3D platformer fully funded by one of the big publishers (and hopefully developed by an ambitious team), over hailing some indie group as the second coming, based on absolutely nothing but a few namedrops. Of which several were also still responsible for the not-so-great Rare catalogue during Microsoft days anyway...
lol this guy. typical attention seeking.I'm a vetted 'outsider' so if you need the outside scoop you can trust me.
Wasn't Haze Free Radical?The guys behind Time Splitter franchise?
I mean I'm all for shitting on ex Rare guys but I mean let's not confuse everything.
MSFT have trend of mishandling their IP, I wouldn't trust them on a minesweeper reboot.

Free Radical were formed of ex-Perfect Dark developers.

Im pretty sure anyone with access to a dev kit knows the roadmap for OS updates.
When I downloaded the leaked SDK, there was a link to look at it, when I clicked it, it wanted me to login which I obviously couldn't do... I don't think he needs to be tight with anyone as long as he has a dev kit.
That's on an organisational level, on which they gave projects to Rare no one ever wanted. We don't know whether a real Banjo game would be shit, if they now finally decided to give in and make it.
Well, back to being concerned about Crackdown 3 and its cloud powered direction...

MS has another team working on avatars.
