A Rare and new Indie company appears and announces Project Ukulele - Polidicks

David Wise and Grant? daaaamn [QUOTE]Since Playtonic’s official “coming out” last week , there’s been a brass band-load of speculation around who will weave musical fabric for our debut game – and pretty much all of it was accurate. To be fair, that’s mostly thanks to our own relentless teasing on social media (oh, we do love a tease), which in particular caused the messiah-like Twitter status of a certain former-Rare composer to come crashing down on our doors, like a violent mob demanding steel drum melodies and catchy A cappella tunes. But you can put down your shovels now, because today we can officially confirm that one Grant Kirkhope, legendary composer of Banjo-Kazooie, Viva Piñata and more, has agreed to make music for our first game. And what’s more, he’s agreed to do it for a regular wage of Yorkshire Teabags, which we’ll ship directly to his bleak, Tetley-free sound suite in rainy California (we may have hidden this detail in the small print). But wait, there’s more! As charitable types, we don’t like to see any of our former noise makers go without work, and so we’ve managed to convince David Wise, equally legendary composer of 20-years-worth of Rare games including the Donkey Kong Country series, to contribute tunage to our first game. And all for a bumper box of Werther’s Originals. Pulling it all together is the esteemed sound man Steve Burke, best known for his magical score for Kameo: Elements of Power and all manner of sound effects , voices and fart noises for Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts ‘n Bolts. Sadly, Steve insists on being paid in real currency. Phew. How’s that for an announcement? For all you Tweeters, you can follow Playtonic’s music men at @grantkirkhope, @ David_Wise and @SteveBurkeMusic. Tell ‘em we sent you, but don’t mention the minimum wage.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=mark6789;47152617]David Wise and Grant? daaaamn[/QUOTE] Only once in a lifetime do composing gods like that return world of men and give us the gift of amazing music. What are the chances that [B]two[/B] legendary composers come at the same time? I'd say this is a pretty promising sign.

The name in itself Ukulele has me interested already. Im a big uke fan

[QUOTE=Deathtrooper2;47115843]Wonder if Jontron would get a guest appearance.[/QUOTE] Nah, he'd just get a half-chub and call it a day.

[QUOTE=Hypershadsy;47153689]You fucking called it: [img]http://i.imgur.com/OHKcXD7.png[/img][/QUOTE] Levels of hype are approaching maximum

Since Banjo Kazooie is property of Microsoft now, maybe they're working around it and making Blambo Kapoopie or something.

Jon Jafari is confirmed as a voice, this game cannot possibly fail

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;47115574][t]http://i.imgur.com/stD0kUl.jpg[/t] Looks like some kind of frog?[/QUOTE] Confirmed for Chameleon Twist 3

[QUOTE=mcgrath618;47165324]Jon Jafari is confirmed as a voice, this game cannot possibly fail[/QUOTE] Imagine Jon's voice is just him ech-ing in Banjo-esque speech "echechechECHechECHechechECHECH"

I've never played a Banjo-Kazooie game, but with how JonTron raves about it, it's probably great. I'll probably give it a shot, especially considering Jon will be voicing a character.

Although you gotta love collecting shit cause Banjo Kazooie is bascically Collect items: THE GAME

The company is going to reveal the game next month.

[QUOTE=yjhghtfh;47169340]so that's a trash level confirmed then[/QUOTE] Oh come on, even if you somehow hate Jon it's literally somebody just making gibberish noises, not a character based on him.
