Watch this! This vid explains who these guys are. Their philosophy is great and their out to "bring back the magic from the past". They make references to the golden age of 3D platforming on the N64 and their desire to return to that style without trying to imitate modern tropes. They even kinda allude to PDZ and Nuts and Bolts alittle bit and why they don't want to do that. They seem like a group of guys that have been wanting to do this for a long time. They say all the right things.
This is a kickstarter project that is coming out on the platform we want it to be on, sometime in the future. Not alot of info but we'll be sure to keep you up to date as information comes out.

Well the goal was reached in 40 minutes so the game it totally happening and probably on Steam, and consoles. We'll see. Just wanted to bump this and let you guys know.

You mean is "sounds" pretty cool.
I was so pleased in when they confirmed in the OP vidoe that the old Rare composers were coming back for this. Music is so important in order to capture the feel and atmosphere to a game and I'm happy they are bringing so many people back.
I really hope this group of guys stays together for years to come. They mention how if they had waited much longer to do this they would have been too old. It goes without saying, I would LOVE to see then make a shooter that plays like GE007/PrfcDrk.
They have the talent and the means to do so. I was saying in my stream on monday that at this point, someone just needs to release a game that plays like perfect dark and had all it's features and extras. Just by matching what the original had, it would surpass 90% of the games in the genre and with new graphics and such, Kids won't brush it off as an "old game with bad graphics".

Well, there will be a N64 shader mode so that might fix the "look" aspect.
If you haven't yet, I urge you to watch the video above. They make alot of indirect references to Nuts and Bolts, PDZ and how they are NOT doing those things. I don't know what went on behind the scenes during the development of those games but they have made it clear that they are making the game they WANT to make this time around rather than making a game because they are known for and expected to make such game.
I'm not saying this will be as good as Banjo, but I am totally confident it's going to be better than anything that's come from Rare Ltd. in the last 13 years. Playtonic IS Rareware in the purest form it can be this day and age.
In celebration of this game, and considering that the Drunk Mario 64 series is coming to an end, can we please get a Drunk Banjo-Kazooie follow up???
I would totally watch that!!! -Mrs. Runner
I'm thinking exactly that actually. I was going to take today to test some of my roms to give you a list for the poll, but I've been working a lot this week so I just took today off and played GTA all day
It's a pretty safe bet that the next game we'll play is Banjo Kazooie.

In response to this game and it's record breaking success on kickstarter, Simon Woodroffe (Creative Director at Rare Ltd.) said on twitter that their next game would be unveiled at E3.
It might be the long rumored Battletoads sequel nobody (everyone) has been asking for, or maybe a new Banjo game. Maybe even a Perfect Dark sequel to be the back up shooter Microsoft (Halo) might need at this point.
I really hope it's the former or the later.
Personally, I really don't want too many Banjo clones to build a 3D Platforming renaissance. As fun and exciting as that sounds, it could become noise really quickly. Their isn't necessarily a huge demand for the genre. I think the success of Yooka-Laylee has far more to do with how up front their developers are, the fact that they are a Rareware dream team, and playing on that N64 nostalgia really hard.
A man can dream: At E3 2015 "...thats why were very excited to announce Perfect Dark 2, coming holiday 2016, but the story wouldn't be complete without the original, so go download PDZ and Perfect Dark on Xbox One for free, right now."
