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.
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.

YES YES YES YES YES!
looks nice and i like that they kept the creative worlds but it doesnt seem like much to get excited about.
I was never a big fan of the Banjo Games. It does look pretty good though.
need it.

God this looks awesome, just hope it plays well.
Looks wicked awesome- but where's Kazooie?

I am so pleased with how this looks.
It's so beautiful.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to tell my 10 year old nephew about this game.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another lengthy and well written blog brought to you by the C-bloggers of Destructoid: The Hardcore(?) Gamer's Site.
mumbo's nuts. hehe.
Holy crap, this game cannot come out soon enough. Come on Rare.. don't let us down.
OH SHIT, IT WASN'T CANCELLED!
You are fucking awesome. thnks for the picz
TheDespised: I despise you.
Banjo Tooie still remains one of my most favourite games of all time.
TheDespised fails if his words aren't sarcastic.

I think TheDespised's problem is that there are *whispers* colours in these screenshots.
DO WANT
MEH
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.
I flipped out when I saw these this morning. Can't freaking wait to see more when the embargo is lifted.

Raspinudo: Why does it matter what system it's on. And please don't pull that "IMO" crap, that's borderline trolling.
Oh wait, you already did.
Looks like this game will sit alonside the other anticipated titles for 360, Alan Wake and Fable2, that I must get.
Looks fantastic.
That looks beautiful.
Also, without the track pack in the South Park dvd.
IT'S NO LONGER A MAN
A MAN
MAN
MAN
YES! I can't wait for this game. Banjo-Tooie is one of my favorite platformers off all time. I'm so excited for this game!
I really hope there will be a hidden penis in this one...

I'm really just excited about this game. I love Banjo Kazooie!
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.
Ah the reason I bought a 360 finally comes to light.
Fantastic.
Looks HUUGE!
Looks damn amazing...
Hope it controls as well as it looks. I'm sure it will.
Way to go Rare!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!111111
I really wanted some south park rock band...:(
Yay?
