Discuss it.
>>736743054Rusty Bucket Bay engine room sucks, am I right folks?
>>736743054Better then mario 64
Does the recomp have any notable improvements over just emulating it? Are romhacks playable on it?
>>736743054It's kooky crazy zany whimsy bizarre just like my western cartoons
It's mediocre and has too many gimmicky minigames.
>>736743641Jiggies of Time and Nostalgia 64 are available for Recomp. I can't comment on Nostalgia 64, but Jiggies of Time is overall a decent time. It's cute seeing familiar OoT locations and Zelda music adapted to the Banjo-Kazooie style (they're not just texture swaps or soundfont swaps of OoT's stuff, they're actually adjusted to be appropriate to BK). Word of warning though: PLAY WITH NOTE LOSS DISABLED. The levels are kinda big, so it's gonna suck re-grabbing notes if and when you die.
>>736743054It's definitely not the best platformer on the N64, but it's interesting to see the wildly different areas, get new moves and find some new objective besides just running and jumping to a certain place.
It's a game that I enjoyed more on a replay years later than I did the first time around.Funny thing is that when I first played it I hated the woods level with the seasons and when I replayed it ended up loving it.
>>736743867>i want to feel like an adult when i watch cartoons
>>736743054Tooie was unironically better
>>736744223but enough about DK64
>>736744223That's the sequel.>>736744395It's a very breezy game to replay, each world can be hammered out in a half hour give or take and you're never too far away from any given objective.
BK is a perfect game in my opinion.My only criticism would be the existence of two "rusty" looking levels.I'll keep Clanker's cavern for originality over Rusty Bucket Bay, and switch the latter for something else more colorful and less industrial.
>>736743054Kazooie and Tooie are some of the greatest games ever released. The evercade ports coming are apparently 60fps with a shit load pf other improvements according to a speedrunner>>736743641>no fps cap>note saving (and jinjo saving in a branch thats yet to be added to main yet byt its complete)>draw distance mod (newest version is in the recomp Discord for some reason as the author isnt ready to release it, even though it works completely for vanilla)>QOL mods>rom hacks can be ported over, right now we have Jiggies of Time, Nostalgia 64, and Banjo-Dreamie but more are comingRecomp is the best way to play the first game rn, not sure what the evercade ports are going to add or change but apparently theyre doing a lot of work behind the scenes, and theyre not based on the botched Xbox ports so itll be interesting to see what they do.
>>736744738>discordIt always comes down to this, huh?The improvements sound nice, but i really dont want to make a discord account.
>>736744683I never really thought about Clanker's Cavern and Rusty Bucket Bay as being too similar before, but I can see it. The vibe between the two of them was distinct enough for me. I always thought Banjo not shying away from more dingy level aesthetics was a strength and helped make the jollier levels feel more fantastic.
>>736745145Rare games tend to have themes involving pollution and corporate greed. You also see it in Tooie with Grunty Industries.
>>736745364It's because the games were made by disgruntled British employees working for peanuts. Conker is also all about a working class guy getting screwed over by rich people.
>>736744473B-B-BUT MUH INSTANT GRATIFICATION
>>736745536>how I feel when I'm the only sane person in a thread
snibedi snab :DDD
SPIRAL MOUNTAIN GO SPIRAL MOUNTAIN YEAH THATS RIGHT SPIRAL MOUNTAIN HERE WE GO YEAH THATS RIGHT SPIRAL MOUNTAIN GO SPIRAL MOUNTAIN THATS RIGHT SPIRAL MOUNTAIN
>>736747452Based and michael dragon pilled
>>736747452Spiral Mountain is the best Rare mountain, but this one is easily number two.
>>736743054Every time I play it, I stop before the final boss.Also tried playing the sequel multiple times and get bored
>>736743054It's a damn good game the end
>>736747452HELL YEAH, LET'S SING ALONG EVERYBODYhttps://youtu.be/FscZZu5fk_M?si=tHXerIQsOICxGsPZ>>736748448Hardy har-har
>>736745107>>736743641Here fren, the world is at your fingertips https://thunderstore.io/c/banjo-recompiled/?ordering=newestYou may need to watch a short youtube tutorial on how to install the mods but it's as easy as just unzipping them and dragging them into your mods folder. Oh yeah, and you need to toggle the camera settings to "analogue" as soon as you start the recomp, to get the better modern camera controlsEasily the best way there's EVER been to play BK. Have fun kiddo <3
>>736744738>draw distance mod>fuck, I'm missing a fucking note/jinjo/honeycomb, now what>just look aroundso cool.
>>736749494Man I hope Banjo-Tooie recompiled becomes a thing too.
>>736748572There's a sort of sunk cost at that point where you might as well just fight one last boss to finish it. It's decently fun, and at that point you literally have the ability to be invincible on command so you're not likely to have a hard time.
>>736746575I always thought it'd be cool if Nipper was a recurring boss in most games, where he keeps showing up repeatedly but with a brand new shell every time that have their own gimmicks
For me, it's Treasure Trove Cove.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wP8uBFQHSG4

DONTBEADUMBOGOSEEMUMBO
Level ideas for Threeie (repost from last time)>canyon level>big city/urban level>space level (properly)>medieval castle/fanasty>food/candy level (but only if they find a way to make the premise less stupid)>radioactive/nuclear/mutant monsters level>another take on a sky level without the same themeing as cloud cuckooland couldn't hurt>mushroom world (or as a large sub-area)>wild west level (properly)>inside an insect colony level>level inside someone's dreams
>>736751213>inside an insect colony levelThat's the first level of BK.
>>736751437And BT reused the industrial level archtype, you can spin that archtype into something new.
>>736743054A lot of its music is based on the Second Finale of the Threepenny Opera https://youtu.be/dpoPe_hFEbY?si=wSlqxbVtHU-MYILu
>>736751437Next you'll tell me Banjo-Kazooie had a shed-themed level already because Mad Monster Mansion had a shed in it
>>736751674Yeah, good point.
>>736751674A forest in the process of being polluted and logged would be a great way to do the next "capitalism is bad" stage, the contrast with the peaceful nature forest aras would be nice
Still waiting for a texture pack that recreates the soulful N64 render HUD icon.
>>736751972how did they fuck it up this badly
>>736743054Banjo was never good
>>736752739They did not have access to the high quality promotionao models, they had to use the N64 models to make it
>>736752845Yeah bu still, even if you have to re-do it from scratch just from looking at the n64 one, you should be able to see it's completely different and crap
I'm going to play Banjo Tooie on Xbox...
>>736751972At this point I'd even settle for someone using renders of the SSBU models' heads (but made shinier and color-corrected to match the OG renders)
>>736752802Why? What about the series do you object to? Were you offended when Grunty says "wench" or something? Do you think Mumbo is a racist stereotype? I genuinely can't imagine what else there is to complain about.
>>736753052NSO Tooie with widescreen/fast walk turned on is the best Tooie we've ever had easily
>>736753332I'm not giving Nintendo money
>>736753256It's le ebin Redditchan meme that le nothing was ever le good.
Best game on the N64. Mogs SM64 into oblivion.
>>736752802TRVKE
>>736753398Cry more
>>736744683He got his NUT in the end fellas
Why did Nintendo backstab Rare?
>>736755765Rare wanted to be sold.
>>736752802Was anything on the N64 good?
>>736751437There is a part set inside an insect colony, but that's one room, not the entire level.
>>736755765>>736756014The actual story is the Stamper brothers betrayed and sold off their own company against the wishes of literally everyone
>>736743054i found it boring and just regurgitating mario 64 worlds/puzzles but with more collecting. not as bad as dk64 ended up, but i didnt really care for bk1 or 2.
>>736757228That's what it means to start a company. Yes I know it sucks for everyone but when you and your buds set out to create a juggernaut company and succeed, the goal is to cash out.
HEY KAZOOIE WE'RE IN MINECRAFT
>>736757276SM64 got 3 things over Banjo at least>mobility is obviously way better>6 more levels than Banjo has (plus tons of secret stages)>you can skip a shitton of stars/levels and still beat the game, so if you don't like certain content you can just skip it
Look guys it took like 25 minutes to get any jiggy but the first one in each level of BT. Very expansive and wondrous large scale adventure game but my fucking god. In BK when you enter a level its like 'oh boy look at all this shit i get to collect in the most fun way i can' but in BT its like 'oh fuck me how far of a hole do i have to dig myself into just to find out there's some wall i dont have the key for yet and i get nothing' and so on
>>736749494>You may need to watch a short youtube tutorial.>It's easyYeah no I ain't falling for this shit ever again, I once tried to emulate Asuras Wrath on my PC the results were just me losing 40 minutes of my life and almost learning coding during the installation.Emulating is gay as fuck, I can see why normies choose consoles and look at you PC fags the same way you would look at a retarded person on the streets.
>>736758368Then suffer in the darkness of ignorance
>>736757717The greatest mercy in Tooie is they massively lowered how many Jiggies you needed to finish the game, so it was fine to just ignore a shitty one.
>>736757478>736752802Banjo won, Steve lost
>>736744683Clanker's Cavern is a different part of Rusty Bucket Bay
>>736743054Uncsmata
>>736748572Now I'm left with the mental image of Banjo and Kazooie just ignoring Tooie saying to beat her after they save her from Grunty's Furnace Fun
>>736760930Proof?
Game remains one of my gold standards for open exploration. 100 hours of bullshit isn't worth one percent of 10 tight hours.
Sex with fat hags
>>736764737Sexy Grunty's general look and voice, but with normal Grunty's weight.
>>736764802.......would
>>736757584Mario 64 is still undefeated in nonlinearity and player freedom. Even Odyssey which has the best 3D movement of any game ever is squandered by being a linear game where you go through levels in a strict order for the most part. In 64, only 1 star is mandatory
>>736749686I actually have beat the final boss once, it’s just every time I replay it, I only want to do the platforming
>>736765198Personally, I hate the final boss because I hate the beak bomb section.
>>736765198Okay, then it doesn't matter much. I'd replay Banjo-Kazooie because the levels were fun, not because of the boss battles.
>>736749494You don't need to unzip themYou download the mod, then open the recomp, go to the mod menu, click "install mod" then double click the .zip you just downloadedIf you need a YouTube tutorial for that you're clinically retarded for real
>>736764737Hell no
wish Banjo sit on my face
>>736743054UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH UH
