Adam Doree | Rare's GameCube Demos (Spaceworld Source Video!) Banjo Kazooie (Not Threeie!), Conker & Perfect Dark @AdamDoree | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 8 minutes ago
Three very brief (and very rare) 'Rare' demos as shown on showfloor of Spaceworld 2000 (in sequence: Banjo Kazooie, Conker and Perfect Dark) in best possible quality as these are the original source tapes of the only recordings known to exist. This is a clip from my new 2023 "Spaceworld 2000 Ultimate Video" here - youtu.be/62O2vFfS_Ok -- and you can find out more about this newly restored version in the description of that video -- enjoy!
Note 1: metalex64 in the comments has pointed out that the Banjo demo shown at Spaceworld was not the same project as Banjo Threeie... although that's had to be "proven for years", so I think the common association is part of what makes the story of Rare IP in this era so interesting. I have updated the title of the video accordingly.
Note 2: Some people have been asking me about "copyright strikes" which is not accurate. Allow me to clarify some points: while I'm happy people have wanted to share my content over the years (a lot of which has always been available on my site), I've been putting my content on my own YT channel, at much better source quality -- that's better for fans, and fairer for me as I put all the work in originally (I personally recorded this footage in 2000, and if I hadn't, there would be no record of things like this Banjo clip, period) -- people may not realize that material like this represents a vast amount of work, effort and financial expense over the years, yet 100s of my videos (including this Banjo clip, at very low quality), have been uploaded to other people's YT channels over the years without permission, and I ignored it, until now as I'm making source material officially available on my YT. I'm not a big channel and not even monetized, but fair is fair. I'm also NOT not issuing "strikes" (which the person who claimed that has since clarified), YT only offers two ways to handle this, a nice way and a strike; I'm doing the nice way (and even reaching out to individual channels in some cases where possible!), and most uploaders have been very supportive and understanding. I've also seen someone question the copyright of some clips without really understanding how copyright works: yes, the recording shows IP owned by the relevant companies, but the recording itself is my work/copyright, which YT obviously recognizes too -- whereas none of the other users who have uploaded my video(s) to their channels, actually spent the money to go to Japan, figure out what was hot at Spaceworld and film it, or originally publish/distribute the video (which, in 2000s era, was extremely expensive btw). And all of this applies to 1000s of my other videos too. So I just want to get back to people enjoying this stuff.
Obviously, I care a lot about preservation of this material which is why I maintain an extensive archive and keep adding more source quality stuff to YT, in parallel to that I don't want countless lower quality and unauthorised reposts of my stuff out there.
There's a fine line between preservation and ripping off with no added value/context whatsoever which is basically what the 7 channels who posted the Banjo clip have all done (by contrast, there are other channels who have made videos about Rare IP of the era and used my old clip in a fair use editorial context, which is generally fine and I would never raise an issue on reasonable use of content).
On YT I am not a big channel and not even monetized, so it's not about income, just well established standards of fair use on content that I originally went to the effort to record and publish -- I care about my content and how and where it appears.
