A French blog poster on Jeux-France has just updated his blog with the very two first ingame screenshots from Banjo Kazooie 3. Banjo Kazooie 3 is the third game in the series and is being developed by Rare exclusively for Xbox 360. The first two off-screen ingame images are attached in this item.
Jared writes: "With the Battletoads having made a triumphant return, let's look at the rest of Rare's back catalog for which series deserves a return to form next."
I actually don't want them. I'm not a big fan of Microsoft rehashing IPs they had nothing to do with creating just because they happen to own them.
Before you call me fanboy tell me a game they did that to that actually lives up the the original?
Just leave our beloved memories alone. You want to bring something back, redo crimson Skies or Brute Force. At least they were your games and they need updates.
I'm all for The Initiative rebooting perfect dark as a third person though, sounds like its trying something new and not just rehashing with a new coat of paint with this idea. Hope we see a tease of it in the next showcase.
Rumor is The Initiative is working on rebooting Perfect Dark in third person, normally I wasn't a fan of taking existing IPs but if its something new like this I'm up for it.
Donkey Kong Country is probably my favorite game of all time but I've not connected with much else Rareware has made since other than maybe Killer Instinct. Sea of Thieves has got to be close to my worst $60 purchase I've ever made.
Wonder why some series just seem to feel lackluster as time goes on? Well, it's because some later installments really mess up the formula. Check out ten times sequels really screwed everything up.
Ugh Musashi: Samurai Legend is so meh. Don't understand how you can go from Brave Fencer Musashi to that. I really want a Brave Fencer Musashi HD Remake or a true sequel. It's one of the best games I've ever played.
Grant Kirkhope, the composer of Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, explains what he thinks the issue was with the often-criticized Xbox 360 title.
I actually liked it for what it was. But then again I'm not a Banjo fan. I actually hated a lot of the N64 style games that all followed the same Mario 64 style. Except for Conker.
I really enjoyed this game, the building was fun, I thought it was a well made platformer.
I kind of agree. The game had many new ideas that would have worked better in a new IP as people wouldn't be so upset that Nuts & Bolts played so differently from the older titles.
I seriously hate how angular the redesigns are for so many of the characters in the game
The X06 trailer built people’s hopes only for the final release to ruin those dreams
Damn right it should have
Can we just get Banjo Threeie and write this game off as Kazooies bad dream or something. An in game joke.
Palm tree looks nice but that second pic is a little meh... I've no doubt Rare can produce some incredible visuals on the weaker hardware they're working with, look at Kameo... but the verdict is still out here. It looks nice... and the screenshots are pretty bad, so I'll save judgment.
Right now...
R&CFTOD is still the best looking game to date on any platform. simple as that.
This troll never stops. lol
All of it looked good the pics were so bad I'm suprized we can see as much as we do.
This fool says weaking hardware?lol. Already kills R&C-TOD despite the quality of the pics thats why you're in here giving your half assed complements. So rabid you have to bash something while you complement it or you can't all together.
Power of Green, no one likes you... You're words compliment your empty, pathetic, rants and arguments.
R&CFTOD is easily the most well put together game on any console. It's textures and quality are unmatched. You've never played it, shut up.
As I said... these are bad shots... and when the game is released, I've not a doubt it'll look better than R&CFTOD. It should after more than a year later. Don't you think?
anyway, on a more relevant note, even offscreen these look pretty incredible.
Pressure for Insomniac to make the next R&C more beautiful.
But they need to add more faces, a screen without any faces looking back at you is kinda eerie in a Banjo game :P
