Your guess is as good as mine.

[Newtgat]

Woah, "Paradise" is a popular name for Pinata games now, huh?
HMMM...my attention has been grabbed.

[Mika]

Mika is intreiged. Mika demands more information. What shall be the plot of this?

[Zap657]

So.... Rhinos (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467442.jpg) and Penguins (http://i32.tinypic.com/2z4zk3a.jpg)

[Storkos]

Wow, those are some gorgeous screenshots! I love the one with the snow especially, it's absolutely stunning!

I think I'm overreacting a bit, but these are fantastic!

[jimmcq]

So.... Rhinos (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467442.jpg) and Penguins (http://i32.tinypic.com/2z4zk3a.jpg)

We knew about Pengums from the tv show, but not Rhinos.

[Newtgat]

My attention has been grabbed and slammed against the wall a few times.
These...these...are beautiful! Oh wow, I'm like tearing up at the snow screenshot.
I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Oh, and the Pester Volcano is epic looking.
You guys have me speaking in short sentences. That's impressive.

WOAH. CRAB PINATA. (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467442.jpg)

[n64player]

Wow, those screenshots are amazing! ^_^

WOAH. CRAB PINATA. (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467442.jpg)

I think it's a flower.

[Newtgat]

I think it's a flower.

Nuh-uh. There's two of them and they look a lot like crabs to me. And is that a teeny-tiny ruffian I see up near the Cannonata? *continues drooling over the screenshots*

[n64player]

We'll have to wait for more screenshots just to be sure; also you drooled all over the only ones we have now! :p

[FeralKitty]

Snow. *blissfully sighs*

[Zap657]

CO (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467445.jpg)-OP (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467439.jpg)?!?
Snow. *blissfully sighs*

Indeed (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467441.jpg)



Also, if you look closely, you can see the warthog pinata here (http://s248.photobucket.com/albums/gg181/xblah/other/?action=view&current=i_467444.jpg), but also some sort of owl pinata. (As well as what I think is another pinata to the left.. What is that?)

[Newtgat]

(As well as what I think is another pinata to the left.. What is that?)
Ya know, I first thought it was a Syrupant head...but upon closer inspection it looks kinda like a Platypus or an Echidna or something along those lines, but it's too small to tell properly. So there's two kinda of cactus, huh (Good and bad)?
I bet you RARE folks are having fun watching us get all excited and speculate these. :p

[BIGsheep]

</BIGsheep lurks in the background...watching. Listening. Waiting.>

[PINATAcast]

<bites tongue>Good news Always come on Tuesdays!</bites tongue>

[StormSurge]

This is FANTASTIC news!!! Very excited!!!

[Macaraca]

must have when it comes out :D i will focus on pengums all the time

[VPfan]

Yay! Co-op mode and other weathers. I'm going to start an RP character garden featuring all my RP characters as Pinatas (well, at least the ones I can get to be pinatas since one of my RP characters is still not made).
I wonder if this'll convert gardens from the last game to the new game? I better wait until MS gets word out. After all, the Rare employess on the forum may've signed NDA's

[Veridis]

Can't wait for this. Just another excuse to start playing VP again wooo :D

[Roflzord]

Big Sheep...thank you for gracing us with us! Glad to see you haven't steered too far away from the original and thank goodness for the removal of the Comic Sans font, one of the very pet peeves I had!

One quesiton Big Sheep...is pop-up going to be removed? VP was pretty much perfect for me and the graphics are stunning, but the occasional pop up kind of annoyed me.

About the only response that you're likely to get from a Rare employee is that they can't comment on rumors. Wait until if/when this becomes official before starting the barrage of questions.

[OmniMaster]

This looks really good.

I hope theres a tiger Pinata.

[Mika]

EXCITEDNESS HO! Rhinos are looking good, Now... the Camellos *I think that's what people call them* live in a genie lamp. The snowy night is beautiful. I'm guessing you roam around the island taking care certain parts of the island. For the arctic make sure you have little jingle bells with some of the beats in the music. That would be soooo awesome.

[geo12301]

Nuh-uh. There's two of them and they look a lot like crabs to me. And is that a teeny-tiny ruffian I see up near the Cannonata? *continues drooling over the screenshots*

I see them and a cactus.

Just found this-

Its a pig pinata and a penguin.

[pinataFan626001]

Does anybody know what system(s) its going to come out on. I know its definetly coming out on 360 but is it coming out on any other systems....PLEASE SAY YES! {getting ready to scream if only on 1 system)

[Mika]

That Hoghurt screen has already been posted Geo. Is there anymore?

[Newtgat]

Good things come to those who wait...even impatiently.
I'm pretty sure those are all for now.
I'm not complaining though, those are amazing screens. :D

[charlietheunicorn]

I think it will be about, the series, with different pinatas, mabey you can create your own charector.

[Mika]

Ah, well, it's OK. I'll wait, I do see an oriental gate in the rhino/crab pic. Possibly a panda?

[tinfoil]

I see them and a cactus.

Xbox360fanboy (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/12/banjo-3-and-viva-2-details/) is reporting that apparently the latest Game Informer magazine has some more details:




the game now sports online two player drop-in/drop-out co-op, a massively expanded trading card system, over thirty new pinatas, a photo mode, and more
Improved interactivity between the pinata's and the environments.
Pinata's will mimic each others action and follow the leader around the garden.
They'll be adding toys for the pinatas to play with like musical instruments, spaced themed toys, and trains that the pinata's will ride around the garden.
VP2 uses the Vision Cam in conjunction with game-generated codes to share all manner of objects, including custom designed pinatas, buildings or abilities, the weather and more.
"We were told how Rare had designed a moose that got a big, red nose only around christmas time... and this could be passed around with these cards"

[bella1234]

i think my heart stopped !!!!

[Storkos]

I'm really excited now!

I don't think I've ever been this excited in my life, actually, which is pretty pathetic!

I don't care though! WOO HOO!

*passes out*

Those are great feature that they have added, hopefully it is like Halo 3 that the pics are uploaded to the Rare Website or something.:D
What does that statement mean?

[n64player]

Co-op, online, vision cam! BOOYAH! That will definitely bring more appeal to the game!

[Newtgat]

Newtgat with a saxophone solo plz thx.
Wow, it seems like the pinata are even more lifelike than before. I especially like: mimic each others action and follow the leader around the garden.
That is just too precious. Even more useful when I direct my shovel at the hapless pinata. :p

[PINATAcast]

I bet VP2 isn't the only thing Rare will announce tomorrow.

[bella1234]

they are annoucing it tommorow!!!!!! boo-yahhh

[Macaraca]

including custom designed pinatas,



well i think i helped with that idea if u mean building your own pinata :D if it is mr. BIGsheep must have told them my idea :)

[Pigxie]

When's it coming out in Australia?

[kyle williams]

Even more images

[bella1234]

ok,kyle williams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are my hero !!!!!!!!!!!

[Pigxie]

This Is Awsome!!!!!!!!!

Whats the one next to the moose?

[bella1234]

its a yeti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah!!!! i think it will be like a secret piata like the chewnicorn!!!!!! and i think i seee a armadillo by the camel......

[Pigxie]

In the warthog one theres a brown duckish thing near it.

[bella1234]

i dont see it ........ but i see a crane by the camel...... well i gotsta to go

[FeralKitty]

Pinata's will mimic each others action and follow the leader around the garden.I wonder if this is a herd/pack instinct, or a mixed-species follow-the-leader game. It would also be neat to see newborn pinatas following their parents around.

[Pigxie]

That would be awsome! is it true?

[FeralKitty]

That would be awsome! is it true?

The "I wonder if..." should give you a clue that I don't know, and am wondering about what the "follow the leader" feature means.

[Pigxie]

Welll... Do you know if the hoghurt is a enemy of the rashberry or an evolution?

[Veridis]

From the different background scenery, it kind of looks like their may even be different garden bases to choose, some look like their from the standard central island one and others have a completely different one (the mountain/volcano with pester statue)

[Newtgat]

Yay, I see a Crowla! :D
I have so many questions...but I'll wait. Impatiently. *sits on hands*
Whyyyyy do I have to be busy today....whyyyyyy? (Ha, I sound like an ill Fudgehog).
Might I say that the dressed up chap who happens to look like a Yeti is very stylish. I absolutely have to have one. Nnnyes.

[jimmcq]

No longer a rumor, it's official!
