I loved Banjo-Kazooie and its sequel — possibly on the same level as Mario 64 IMO, and definitely one of Rare's finest. I was a bit put off by the fact the third in the series will have a lot of emphasis on vehicles, but from what I've seen it does seem like they've done a really good job (Spore-like editor, except with lots of actual functionality rather than just looks).
There're meant to be 1,600 different parts you can use to build vehicular monstrosities, hence the name. I'm guessing this'll integrate with the puzzle element. I've seen planes and boats in other videos so there's going to be a lot of procedural fun there by the looks of it.
The new gameplay video is pretty cool, with a bunch of reappearing characters and some classic music.
All footage is from the overworld, not the actual levels:

Shame the trailer shows none of the weird humour that made the originals so distinctive. Better still be in there. ![]()
