I never said the design pissed me off, all I said was that it was disappointing to me... I'm allowed to have my own opinion...

I originally went to gamespot and watched the banjo kazooie three trailer.

Is this the same game or are they two different games??

cause I got the feeling that it would be like the originals from the first trailer and something totally different from this trailer

-6 doors leading to different Worlds like past BK titles, around 20 Jiggies to be found per World
-The game is 80% Vehicles, and the 20% non-vehicles is usually you doing short segments of Platforming to get to the Vehicles
-No transformations, no Kazooie abilities (Kazooie's only active involvement in gameplay is wielding the Mumbo Staff which is what lets them build vehicles), Banjo increases Speed, Strength, Stamina in RPG-like lvl ups
-Grand Theft Auto-like Police system, cause too much Mayhem and they chase you down in their own vehicles, you can use Money to bribe them to not go after you
-Game is a series of objectives/missions that yield Jiggies, use Vehicles to complete the tasks (and how you build your vehicle changes how you differently you can complete the task, a Task that may have taken 10 minutes in an initial playthrough can be done in 1 minute if you build the right vehicle)
-Game was originally a complete sequel to the past 2 Games, of equal Platforming caliber, but they felt that it was too "last gen"
-By the end of the game vehicles can be 19 blocks high, long, and wide, which means you can basically build a tank the size of a house
-Only 1 of your created Vehicles can be on the Overworld at 1 time (save for when a 2nd player is present), but you can use special Blocks independent of your Vehicle creator to create things on the actual land of the levels, meaning you can set up your town with Ramps, Loops, Soccer Balls, Goals, etc. (this is what the Mario structure was in the trailer, a user-created obstacle to destroy)
-You can created different "stages" in your Vehicle for it to transform into, as seen in the trailer, you can have a Car that at the press of a Transform button will launch your Plane, which at the touch of a button you can have your Wings snap off and become a small Boat.

Say goodbye to my pre-order, for now.

That pisses me off. They got rid of the platforming element, something all of us wanted and they know it, and added cars and vehicles so they could be cool and fit in with the hardcore FPS and racing crowd because platforming is too "last-gen".

Well, they already had the FPS crowd covered with Kazooie's power to turn into a gun for those mingames. . .

Wow I haven't been on for months and now there is a new game on my favorite game series from when I was little! Well I am really pissed that the characters look weird, but I saw the same thing when they were trying to put up Banjo Threeeie. I hope that the series goes well, even though there is no way that I am getting a 360 after I got a wii and am going to get a PS3 sometime this year. I don't like that it will be on the 360 but idk if you guys already discussed it . Anyway good luck bk series.

Kind of let down but still getting it..

What's up with all the vehicles in this game? Meh..
I'm a huge Banjo-Kazooie fan so I'm getting it sooner or later anyways.
