These are the first two screenshots from the upcoming sequel to the Banjo-Kazooie, known as Banjo-Threeie. There was a lot of question into how this game will look and finally these questions are answered.
I'll just come out and say it this game looks AMAZING.
I, also, have some bad news, the recent news of the release of the South Park DVD coming with a special pack will not happen after all. A studio rep has informed TV Shows on DVD that the retailers were misinformed. :(
Look carefully and you'll notice that Banjo no longer has the square snout they gave him in the teaser trailer, looking more like an updated model of the original design. But enough at about that.
Banjo Team: Words cannot describe the beauty I have seen. Thank you
Also, I'd like to apologize for the leaks. I'm not responsible, but I know that Microsoft and Rare are freaking out over this right now. I'm sorry, but I'm still going to drool over them
Vehicles look like they'll be playing a big role in the new game, I'm not going to complain at all. Vehicles in platformers generally tend to be highly enjoyable.
The Wicked: I think MS is pretty happy with the positive feedback from these screens.
The Despised: Your name suits you so well. This is a quick news blurb not an in-depth article on the difference between the casual and hardcore market. Spare me.
Rare needs a win like this more than we do. Grabbed by the Ghoulies sucked, Perfect Dark Zero was a shell of what it once was, and Viva Pinata should have sold even better than it did.
HOLY SHIT!! Banjo Kazooie is amazing. I just played the first level and it was awesome :D If I can finish th first and second Banjos I'll defiantly pick this one up. My favorite Rare game is still Conker's Bad Fur Day though but this is probably my second favorite.
To be honest, I am rather disappointed. Not only because the quality of the in game graphics don't impress me but also because I think banjo just belongs on a Nintendo system.
IMO
@ TheDespised: Please, just go kill yourself. It's quite sad that instead of joining this kick-ass community to contribute and discuss video games, you've decided instead to devote your free time to trolling decent people's blogs. I've met power-glove, he's a nice guy. Stay the fuck out of here.
What a loser.
Anyway, good find dude, and I must say I'm surprised at how excited these pics made me. I was a Banjo fan back in the day, but I never finished the second one. Got bored, and so maybe this will be something special. I hope so.
Those screenshots didn't impress me immediately, but then I stared at them for a little longer, and those gears started moving (in my mind) and now I'm even more excited!
I just now realized this, but in that picture of Banjo in front of Mumbo's Nuts (heheh), is that a blue Chain Chomp on guard? If it is, then I want a plush of it- ten of them. NOW.
Hello, I am Andy from New York City.
I have been playing videogames for a long time now.
My first game experience was Magician's Lord in a Neo-Geo arcade machine at a local Pizza Hut.
and I've been playing them ever since.
I currently own a 360 and a Wii but I am still looking into getting a PS3.
I chose this name because of the nostalgia I have for crazy items and peripherals in gaming and fits well here due to the fact that it is one of the power-ups in our official game Bomberman Live.
I have been here for a short time but I know this is where I want to be.

I was never a big fan of the Banjo Games. It does look pretty good though.
