Bad news for those Xbox 360 owners who haven't jumped on the HD train yet. In the demo of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts many people with SD Tv sets found the text unreadable, which is rather big since there's no other way to find out what's going on without it. When this was brought up there was discussion of releasing a patch, but apparently its just not going to happen according to Rare's community George K. So I would steer clear if I were you.

Unfortunately, this is an issue that doesn't look like it will get changed. I don't want to bore you with the technical side of things (I really don't understand it all myself), but the long and the short of it is that the text you see in the demo will be the same as that which you find in the retail version of the game.

I'm sorry that we weren't able to address this issue as nothing would please us more than turning all your complaints into gleeful responses, but it's simply something that's too expensive in terms of time, resources and money to alter.

Please don't kill me. This *doesn't* mean we don't care about or respect the community. This *does* mean that, when all's said and done, we're only human.

    Wow, thats EXTREMLY annoying. Do they just expect people who want to play the game to go out and BUY a HDTV? We don't all have that kind of money ; ;
    I hate it when developers screw over gamers.

    This is pretty sad news that they claim it would cost too much money to change it. I haven't played the game on my SD set yet, but I do remember Dead Rising and how unplayable it was.

    Yes, but Banjo and Kazooie was done by sound effects from characters. So unreadable text would be bad, I'm sure you could figure out what was going on...

    Atleast Dead Rising had cut scenes in it (with voice overs) to let you know what was going on. But i remember on my SD TV i could make out the text if i paid close attention

    Same thing happened with GTA4 with the text when using the web to search for the weapons and armor.
    The text was small.
