Another six Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshot

Earlier today, two screenshots of Banjo-Kazooie 3 appeared. Now, a third image has surfaced, showing Banjo and Kazooie a bit closer and in a lot more detail.

Update: Make that four new screenshots.

Update 2: It seems like the forums are filling up with Banjo screenshots now. Two more added.

[BIoodmask]

I loved the Banjo games on N64, so this game should be a lot of fun. The art direction looks fantastic. Rare has some really talented artists.

Hopefully at MS gamers day some footage will be released so we can see it in motion.

Special thanks to Fablex for finding these pics bc there is very little news on Sunday.:)

[gambare]

I hope this one bring the spirit back of the N64 title.

[IQUITN4G]

Kameo too uses blurring on the distant 3d mountains.Didn't notice any bitmaps actually in Kameo

[gaffyh]

Yeah looks good, but it seems like the models for everything are a little too squared, they either did that because it is easier or because they wanted a different art style. Either way it still looks good, and I can't wait to play it.

[Feihc Retsam]

These screenshots are disappointing... WIth a game that has cartoonish graphics like this, I expect much more. All of the large scale shots feature terrible backgrounds. The textures look very flat on all of the ground/floor surfaces, and they used the cop-out fog effect for the background environments.
I am not trying to bash the game unjustly, I really do hope that they can ramp up the visuals, but so far it is very underwhelming. The very first shot I came across was the one with him walking on the rope, and the rope is nothing more than a cylinder that is painted like a rope, no real texture to it at all... :-(

[MADGameR]

But if you think for ONE second that it rivals Mario Galaxy and Little Big Planet? lol! you're SADLY mistaken!

[LuigiLogik]

Banjo looks like a freaking Lego Character... I hope they fixed that for the final version.. otherwise i'm looking foward to having a game i can play with my 1 yr old, he's getting sick of GTA.

[SUP3R]

Now these screenshots I like. I can see the whole world in these and have to admit it looks good, but has Banjo always looked so square??
Just need to see it in motion now, looks like fun.

[wow4u]

The odd-ness and variety in the vehicles looks very weird. Their has to be some non-standard-platformer gameplay purpose for that.

Otherwise, it looks very very good, I'm really looking forward to hearing / seeing it on Tuesday.

A return of Rare's stellar hit Banjo is epic. Bring it on.

[Fallen_Angel]

I agree personally not to sure what to think of the art in the game its different then what I thought it be but it still looks fun

[Kazuo Hirai]

A Bear and an Orange Chicken fighting to save the world?HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHA x100

PLAY BEYOND

[Rick Astley]

Look at the image "5 van 8" for the worst textures ever seen in a video game. This game doesn't have textures LOL!! I've seen better looking SNES games.

[Kazuo Hirai]

The game is such a joke I was in tears BEFORE seeing the screenshots,AHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAAHA!

PLAY BEYOND

[Shaka2K6]

The game dropped later best on PC just like anything that is on xbug 180, xbugs just pay to beta test games lmao stupid xbots droids.

[alexM]

WOW this game looks like DOGSH*** just like all x360 games

LOL

This is gonna challenge LBP (which looks like an animated film of the 21st century)

look at the graphics

http://www.xgn.nl/360/scree...

hahhaaaaaaaaaaa

[AngryXbot]

This game is going to be a baby platformer that is average at best.

Xbots getting desperate now, they (primarily FPS fans) think a platformer is going to save their console.

Think Blue Dragon. Think Viva Pinata.

[zapass]

there's a pathetic xbollox copy... "me-too me-too me-toooooooo"
insomniacs must be laughing at this so loud... RCTOD is in such a different league... ouch!

soon, they'll have an xbollox wiimote:
m$ creates products for people with no originality and no imagination but a lot of envy and a lot of stupidity, LMFAO!

[ravinshield]

wow ps3 fangirls are the most pathetic people in this world.u girls care more about our games than yours.go play kz1,rf2,lbp,mgs since thats all the games u girls name all the time.

[Fat Bastard]

Don't even talk, all you boast about is Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3, and Gears. That's it. We, on the other hand, have:

Uncharted
Heavenly Sword
Ratchet and Clank
Resistance
Motorstorm
Warhawk
Gran Tourismo
Metal Gear Solid
Haze
Resistance 2
Little Big Planet
Killzone 2
Motorstorm 2
Uncharted 2
Dark Rain
Tekken 5
God of War 3
Final Fantasy XIII and Versus XIII
La Noire
Grand Theft Auto 5

And you know every single one of those is at least as good as Bioshock or Gears, most much better. That's what I thought bot

[Odion]

some of those pics look like their from different builds

[JVIDICAN]

a few could be fakes i guess
idk

[jkhan]

The closeup pics aren't really that good. I hope the game looks better in motion.

[colonel179]

I really HATE HATE HATE HATE the xbox 360. but i will definitely buy one for this game.

Yeah, I'm a sony fanboy... last gen i was an xbox fanboy though

[skimming]

What's the use of wasting time on hating a soulless machine? Instead spread out your hate on other fanboys. I'm sure they'll reciprocate.

This applies also to Corporations as well like M$ or $ony. Instead, target your animosity against Bill Gates or Steve Ballmer or Sony's head or something. This way, at least in your head, you'll have achieved the same level of accomplishment as those guys.

Remember boys, hate only those that can hate you back, else it's just meaningless drivel, or maybe you're just a bit nuts.

[Silellak]

Here's an idea...why not stop being a fanboy for either side, and just be a GAMER?

And, I don't know - play the games you like?

Just throwing that out there, I guess.

[JVIDICAN]

sadly, theres a greater chance of "space cows" appearing, then fanboyism disapearing

[Jinxstar]

Meh a real gamer plays for the games not the console.

[7h3ultim8p00]

Glad you shared. Next time though, keep that to yourself or take it to the Open Zone.

Sheesh. It's the same thing with Sony fanboys, even on freakin NEOGAF.

[doshey]

wow wtf and i actually thought rare had it again, disappointment for a game i use to love

[gEnKiE]

...blah...looks neat, but was never a fan of the original.

[DJ]

But what's with the seriously low polygon counts in these screens? The anti-aliasing is only 2x as well, and it doesn't look like they're pushing any crazy shader effects... Any ideas?

[poopsack]

Either they're trying to render one open world with an incredible draw distance by sacrificing the things you said above, or something is seriously wrong with them.

[ianp622]

I think the PS3 is usually better with polygons at the expense of texture resolution. I think the textures are pretty good here, but I agree with the low poly counts. The only thing I don't like is that you see texture repeating in the background, but it does have an impressive view distance.

[LorD]

I wasn't too impressed with the view distance, most of the screens look rather "foggy".

I reckon the low poly count is because they are going to have massive instances of objects on-screen at the same time.

Texture-wise it looks fantastic.

[jaja1434]

Or just another opinion, it could by the style. The same way Okamia was.

[sehnsucht]

Looks like they've got some pretty good Anisotropic Filtering going on though. I can't honestly say this looks that good, the assets look like they were all created by different people at different times (and likely were). Nothing seems very unified other than the color palette. They didn't even fake a higher poly count on most places on the map with bump/normal/parallax(GHASP!) maps. Most ground levels are flat planes, as are walls. Check the rope in the first picture too, a nice bump map would have done it well.

CRITICISMS ASIDE: When have these games been about graphics in the first place? The animations are probably stellar.

[Denges]

I remember when ratchet came out all the bots were hating on it saying its a kiddies game!! its not gonna sell only little kids will play it!

now look whats happening!! hyprocrites!!!

BANJOOOO KAZZZOOIEE hahahahhahahahah

[Shaka2K6]

No other 3d platformer will ever touch it.

the only ones that came close to the greatness of R&C was Jak & Dexter and Sly.

[Xlll]

Lol this is classic. Where is the damage control?

[DrPirate]

Looks good. My only gripe is the square nose and how everything looks like lego's.

Other than that, nice environments. Cool stuf.

[pwnsause]

it looks like its going to be a solid platformer, i havent play Banjo in such a long time.

[Condoleezza Rice]

Why is there so much emphasis on Vehicles?Please please PLEASE don't let this be a Racer,I know the original Rare team behind the N64 Banjos aren't with Rare anymore but if this isn't a Platformer I will be really disappointed

edit @below:Hmm I thought they had departed with Rare?Thanks for the info

[Covenant]

I agree...no Banjo-Kart, please.

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

actually the original team is still with Rare. they are the ones who worked on banjo3

[dle]

BK will probably still be a platformer first with abundance vehicles gameplay. All those rumors about Rare in charge of developing first motion control games for the 360 are looing awfully real now.

[dogseye_deadhorse]

i think the vehicles could be the multiplayer aspect of it?? mabey.

[poopsack]

I dont get it is banjo supposed to look that square, was he like that in other games, is it on purpose? Other then that it looks pretty good.

[JVIDICAN]

he didnt look that square-ish in the older ones(answering your question)

[beavis4play]

i didn't think he looked that square. i want him to look like the pictures you showed. much more natural looking. in the new pics he looks kind of robotic.

[marionz]

i cant wait! but whats with all the vechicles? i just hope its not all raceing with tacked on platform quests, and yeah some of the textures look bad but its not finished remember, and the textures in the first two screens look great, loved the wallpaper that looks like rock wall till you see the edges peeling away.

banjo kazooie gears 2 and viva pinata 2 man its another great year for 360!

[JasonXE]

Below

[Covenant]

I like that one...thanks for posting it!

[Covenant]

Mixed bag...some pics look more polished than others, denoting (maybe?) different stages of development.

I'd like to see some real footage before making a judgment...but given Rare's track record with the Banjo series, I'm confident it will turn out well.

[Adriana Lima]

well, I hope it's pre-alpha

[jaja1434]

The rope? OK there's picky and then there is picky.

[Adriana Lima]

when ps3 has bad textures in alpha, it's because the ps3 has no memory.

Look at the mountains, nes textures.

[jaja1434]

So your excuse for being a pain is because others did it? Yea that in no way reflects the personality you have...

[kewlkat007]

just there to nitpick images..because somebody else did the same on a ps3 game. Look at DJ's comment...every 360 game screenshot he's looking for Polygon counts....haha Pathetic and you wonder do some even play games.

Another note: This game is looking good...maybe we'll also get 360 version of Mario-Kart in the game lol

[Z501]

variety.
Don't forget.

[OJ_juice]

the only thing negative about R and C future was "too much variety" LOLOLOL. That's epic. That's how good R and C games are.

[Meus Renaissance]

I'm sure the official media release will have better quality images because I certainly hope this isn't what Rare will show later this week. The draw distance is really short, the levels look like rooms rather than an open world

[SUP3R]

There's only 1 level that looks like a room.

-EDIT-
2 levels look like a room, 1 looks like BK's house and the others look outdoors.

[wow4u]

Who said anything about "open world"? Why dont you wait until you know what the gameplay is before you start saying they didnt meet the game you've intented in your mind.

[Adriana Lima]

more modern?
flying machines, cars, houses...

I'll reserve my judgment after the videos

[TheMART at Xbotkings]

Oh boy, looks great. I'm sure it'll turn out to be awesome. I need good grades before my mom can buy this game for me, it won't be long now.

[JVIDICAN]

the marts back =O
but for how long?
on topic, it is looking pretty good for what im guessing is a fairly old build

[BilI Gates]

I think the 360 has hit it's graphics peak point. Not even Epic knows how to push it anymore. They should try a PS3 exclusive. :)

Anyway I'm not really impressed by the graphics and I've never been a Banjo fan anyway. This time around it's even worse, it seems. Too much flying around and not enough platforming.

[Exile__]

My only gripe: Why is Banjo so blocky?

Edit: Looks like a lot in the world is comprised of basic shapes, seems like they're keeping the look pretty simple for the most part..

[TheMART at Xbotkings]

Art Direction.

[TheBronxxx]

I gotta say...these look pretty bad.

[Blademask]

I mean, I just cant pretend that this looks nearly as good as Rachet either. What the heck is happening here? The textures are terrible, the shaders are all flat and lifeless. Theres no shiny rubber, or metal cogs.. I disagree that its art direction, but it just looks like a lack of lighting and decent shaders.

I'm not fooled by bloom either. 2006 is back <---- that way.

But multiplayer looks interesting if you can build your own vehicles.

Say what you want about bias and fanboys, but no one is going to claim this for CGI like everyone claimed Ratchet was until gameplay silenced the masses.

[Xbox is the BEST]

looks like CGI? I need some of what your smoking.

[Xbox is the BEST]

good, can't wait to play this

[DJ]

You'll see.

[Blademask]

When Insomniac released the original screens, the gaming "community" called them fakes.

Ratchet is also compared to CGI often in the media.

"Graphics - 9.5
These are the unbelievable next-generation graphics that put you in control of a CGI movie-quality world."

http://www.videogamesblogge...

"Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction looks like Blue Sky Studios’ “Robots.” The series has always looked better than most other action platformers, but this time it’s practically as good as CGI. And I reference “Robots” instead of “Shrek,” because I noted a lot of similarities in the presentation."

http://www.geek.com/review-...

"You'll find all the classic elements of Ratchet & Clank present and accounted for, with more crazy weapons than ever, animation on a par with Hollywood CGI films and a healthy dose of next-gen goodness. "

http://spong.com/game/11042...

"Graphics, while never an issue in the PS2 versions of the game, are simply stunning on the PS3. On par with what you would expect to see in a Disney Pixar film."

http://www.ripten.com/2007/...

[Bathyj]

I didn't want to bring up R&C because I wanted to say something nice about this game, and I did already.

But your right, graphically at least this game is way behind R&C. Ratchet looks so much richer, this looks great, yet almost bland if you compare them. Plus Ratchet has so much action going on you dont know where to look. This looks really sparse. Not much there at all. Underpopulated you might say.

Still its early days and I'm hoping this will be a good game, and if doesn't end up looking as good as Ratchet I dont care any way. Not everything has to be top tier graphically.

[fatam69]

Dude go look at the Viva Pinata 2 visuals.
R&C did look good, but to bad the gameplay couldn't hold up and it sold terrible.

[ChickeyCantor]

" interesting gameplay mechanics it looks like!"

RARE said that these picture dont tell anything about the gameplay....

[wow4u]

HAhah! You picked a really great collection of reputable game journalists there.

Why didn you just quote directly from Sony? Spare me.

[TheBronxxx]

It seems rare left all their talent back when the n64 was around. I was hoping for so much more with this game but this honestly looks like a first gen 360 game if not worse. They need to hire some really good staff if they don't plan on ruining KI3!

[GUNS N SWORDS]

........360 CAN'T DO NEXT-GEN GAMES MY ASS AND, BOTH OF MY NUTS, AND MY MIDDLE FINGERS AS WELL!!!

[OSIRUSSS]

I think someone over there posted the N64 screenshots of Banjo-Kazooie. No way this game looks this bad.

[batman2million]

the game looks amazing.. rare used to be one of the biggest developers during the n64 days. Even with crazy limits of the n64, they made some of the best games!! They can be questioned by their work on the gamecube...they didnt make anything epic there.

[littletad]

Rare made anything at all for the Gamecube. Could be wrong though.

[Xi]

was their only gc title.

[Bathyj]

Looks really nice. I hope Rare can get back close to their prime. Its been so long since they made a really great game (Hey I liked Viva Pinata, but I wouldn't call it great) and the Xbox needs games like this because there are still so many areas they dont cover.

Alot of people commented on the Blocky. Its simply the Art Direction of the character but yeah, it does seem a little bit over done.

Banjo Squarepants. ;)

[littletad]

I've never played this series before, but it will be nice to finally see what the fuss was about when it debuted on the 64.

[fatam69]

Looks good to me

[PMR_21]

360 *cough xbox 1.5 cough* horse sh*t graphics.

[Prismo_Fillusion]

It looks really good.
Not as good as R&C, but that doesn't matter.
With these cartoony platforming games, it's style over graphics.

Mario Galaxy wasn't even in high def and everyone still loved the graphics.

The art style of these pictures looks nifty, and hopefully Rare can get back to their true form. With the (half) exception of the remake of Conker on the Xbox, I haven't been super-impressed with a Rare game since the N64 days...

FYI, these compliments are coming from a PSWii owner. See? It's possible to be unbiased!

[SlappingOysters]

I wanted this game to be awesome, but it looks absolutely $hit. Worst screenies ever. Where is the Viva Pinata vibrancy?

[ApocalypseShadow]

i won't compare it to ps3 games.

the question is if the "NEW RARE" has what it takes to make great games.

didn't they split off years ago?and two of their founders leave the company last year or so?

[etownone]

first 3 screenshots looked really good, the other ones..meh

[Vespertine]

I think the vehicle screenshots aren't very interesting.

I like the screenshots that focus more on Banjo + Kazooie.
Either way, I love the graphical direction.

[thenickel]

I actually like the vehicle shots and can't wait until tomorrow to see how it all looks in motion!

[n00bPwner]

Looks like Kiddy Big World, but with an actual game behind it.

[fadeawayjae]

These graphics look pretty weak for a next-gen title. Seems blocky like a crash bandicoot game. hopefully it will be fun atleast

[realistgamer]

wow now i know why Rare has been quite on this it's shaping up nicely hope it releases this year.

[Nadine Coyle]

!'cough'!trolling1'cough*cough

[power of Green]

The mods need to block these trolls from the 360 section Jesus Christ.

[PMR_21]

the mods need to delete YOU for you alternate accounts. a$$hole

[The Wood]

for 'too much variety'......... not

looking good. Both next gen formats need more games like this

[THE TERMINATOR]

Damn xbots give it up your consoles potential has been reached. Just look at Geow2 not much different to the first and now this!!!!!
The textures are a joke and wheres the AA? Complete crap.

[pcz]

it looks very good, the graphics look sharp but where is the charm? it doesn't look like a banjo game. it looks like they've dropped him into a world he doesn't belong in.

As somebody else said, it looks like the images are mock ups, the resolution looks way too high to be real, it also looks incomplete.

I think when the game is actually released, these pics that are being released now will look a lot better than the actual finished product

[Salvadore]

Looks really great, cannot wait to play it.

[dle]

Does someone else see what I am seeing? The balancing beam and abundance of vehicle gameplay is well suited for a motion controller. Does this mean that all those rumors are true?

[SL1M DADDY]

My kids will love this one. They absolutely loved Kameo and Ratchet & Clank so this is a no-brainer for me. Please the kids and become super dad!

[teh_tourist]

It's very nostalgic of the old Banjo kazooie games, but as something new i don't see myself enjoying it more. But i still want to try the game at a friends house to see how it is.

[wyvernsmasher]

beautiful, i love it

[Vespertine]

I love the story image.

[PS3Diablo]

My god, this game looks terrible, I mean did you see those textures ? Rare definitely has a problem in the graphics dept. I hope the game play will excel to compensate for those pitiful graphics. Sorry 360 fanboys but Rachet & Clank on PS3 is simply DEAD GORGEOUS and blows this one out of the water !!!

[n to the b]

ever started touting Banjo3 as a killer app for 360, or how it took off from there. now we have this sh1t game that the droids are having a field day with, thanks alot. seriously why was this ever supposed to be a big deal?

I've never played a Banjo game before, it always looked like crap. and I don't recall them ever being that big a deal.

[Rims]

Nice!

[Xi]

looks amazing, can't wait to see it in motion.

[THE TERMINATOR]

No wonder the rhino in screenshot 6 looks depressed.

[tudors]

I tell you what Nextgen has really kicked in this last few days, looking forward to when I can afford a PS3, I own a Xbox-360 and have been really impressed these last few days with both consoles.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Ya'll are annoying but this game looks really awesome. The lighting in picture 9 looks incredible. Anyways looks Bad ass

[mistertwoturbo]

Just curious, what's the hype with this game anyway? Honest question, I've never played any banjo game before.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It seemed as if Rare perfected the platforming genre when Banjo Kazooie came out. It was, in no way, original at the time. However, they got everything right and even included an intriguing storyline.

I doubt this will be anything like those first two.

[Leg-End]

rachet + lbp = this.

[N4g_null]

Once I saw that pimp frog in the city screen shot I was sold! This game is trying to look simple too much. It may actually hurt the design but who knows as long as the game is good.

[BigPenguin]

Loved the first 2 on the N64. This is the first game on the 360(well second if you count Catan) that I actually really want. I may actually purchase a 360 when this comes out.

I will be honest though, I don't get the LBP comparisons, I get the ratchet, and agree, but not the LBP.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

It's a kids' game. That's why.

LBP is a revolutionary way to do platformers.

This looks like an epic-scale platformer...not original...but great nonetheless.

I mean, the originality in Ratchet and Clank lies in the weapons. Those things are just BA!!!

[Xi]

the last two images are in the same level as you can see the cogs in the background with banjo in the plane are the same to the ones when banjo is in the boat. my guess it's one side of the map to the other.

[nutjuice]

like the 360 crowd really cares about this game. Right. Everybody go along and pretend that it matters because Sony had games like this in its first year, and whatever Sony has the XBOX has to have as well.

WHAT A JOKE.

[zethos56]

Most of those posts 200 posts are ps3 owners bashing this game.

[Sumadyan]

Can't wair for this. This will surely remain a platformer, can't see why rare would make a kart game. Addition of vehicles to platformers isn't necessarily bad, they can be a cool addition if done right. Just look at daxter for psp.

[Rhezin]

wow you're really pathetic, can't you come up with something better that was really weak. Yah a bear and a chicken fighting to save the world, who would of thought of that combo, it's badass. 100100000200102001020201293 times better than R&C where a rat and a hamster on his back are fighting to save the world, but then I guess you ps3 morons can relate to be rats so it works out great. I'd rather be the bear f!ing sh!t up than a rat scurring around in the sewers

[heyheyhey]

how the fvck is Clank a hamster??

he's a robot you numbnuts

[Alcohog]

I'd be excited if I were still in 7th grade.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Admittedly, the game looks incredible.

Unfortunately, so did Kameo at launch. Personally, I liked Kameo. However, most of the gaming world seemed to think it was teh suck.

My problem is that it probably won't live up to the hype. Rare hasn't been the same since Free Radical formed.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

If you want to compare designs...

This is Ratchet & Clank mixed with Sly Cooper.

[Aquanox]

I don't understand why PS3 fans feel in such a hurry to perform Damage control whenever the good stuff the Xbox 360 is offering this year is revealed. I've even read things as absurd as comparing this to Little Big Planet... (A full 3D world conceived with the legendary "RARE" style vs. a new 2D world game? What the heck!)

Enjoy your games and learn to enjoy others without the Sony brand on it. As some publication said, "Those judging the quality of the game already are more or less retarded"

Later, you'll see this in motion and the game that is behind it. Only then you can judge if the game is or is not appealing. Personally, I find these very exciting. I wonder what is the role of so many vehicles in the game.

[KingKirchner]

Unfortunately, as many of you may know, Rare is NOT the same as they were in the SNES/N64 days. After they left Nintendo and were bought up by Microsoft, the majority of the developers left the company.

The result is a slew of mediocre games. Kameo was good, but by no means a AAA must buy. Banjo Kazooie on N64 was incredible. They have the formula for the game from the old Rare, so I expect this one to bee good, but not great. Mario and Ratchet and Clank will still be better (most likely).

Allthough I'd love to be proved wrong since I loved the old Banjo Kazooie games on N64.

[UltramanJ]

These screens look very good, but the jury's still out on whether the Rare owned by Microsoft can actually make a good platformer. Judging by their track record in the post N64 era I'm not going to get my hopes up.

[zonetrooper5]

Rare has quite a few different teams which work on different projects and Banjo Kazooie 3 will be a construction game btw.

[Boldy]

So who were the people saying Rare is dead?

[UltramanJ]

The Rare owned by Microsoft is a far cry from the Rare of the N64 days when they could do no wrong. Judging by their Xbox/360 titles released so far I'd say yes they've been dead for some time. They couldn't even get a port of Diddy Kong racing right.

[cliffbo]

aaaaaaaa rails. mmmmmm... i've seen that somewhere else.

[liquidsnake]

Isnt RARE the same developers who made Donkey Kong for the SNES? If that's the case I was expecting alot more in terms of graphics. I mean come on, is this some kind of a sick joke? The graphics looks depressive.

[Picnico]

Even if vehicle sections make up a portion of the game that is clearly not going to be the whole of the game. The picture of Banjo balancing on a rope (which reminded me of Super Mario Sunshine's tightropes) shows that.

[Blackcanary]

Look at the pics theres something about them that makes me wonder could mind really make me feel like i am in the world and for get about my troubles that i have in real life like the old games did.
Maybe its just the pics but they seem kind of empty like it just u and the landscape and the vehciles its like a world that looks fantastic but still empity.
I hope i can lost in this game like the old games or i wont buy it.

i want something that can comppete with R&C:TOD.

Untill i see some gameplay i'm not gonna get so hyped up for it yet.

[Blackcanary]

Looked at the pics and theres something about them that makes me wonder could my mind really make me feel like i am in the world and for get about my troubles that i have in real life like the old games did. get so lost and into it that if anything happens to banjo then u just wanna kick some ass. when i first saw the pics of the first game i was in love with it played it like 20 times i still have it to this day but. Theres something about these pics that make think wow this is unblieveable but looks fake and plastic which isn't good.
Maybe its just the pics but they seem kind of empty like it just u and the landscape and the vehciles its like a world that looks fantastic but still empity.
I hope i can get lost in this game like the old games or i wont buy it.

i want something that can compete with R&C:TOD.

Untill i see some gameplay i'm not gonna get so hyped up for it yet.

was this like a big xbox game cuz i've never heard of it, I guess I was too concentrated on ps2, is it like Jak and Daxter?

Can't compare this to J&D.
J&D is so different in meny ways thats what i think anyway.

What have they done to you my beloved BanjoKazooie???

The character model for Banjo looks terrible. Gruntilda...just no

and by the way....if they mess Mumbo Jumbo up....this game fails completely.

The game looks good, but I hope they did what they did with the last two games. The beginning level of the first game became the gateway to entire new world which was a cool concept I thought. Most games introduce a new world each time.

PS- Rare is dead, and I loved the originals. Glad I never bought a 360

looks nice but I'll stick with LBP. Much more to do with that game.

Game looks like a doo-doo Mario rip off.

I really can't form an opinon because I never played it for xbox. I was always into games like dead to rights, Splinter cell, and missed this game. A lot of people tell me the first one was very good. I'll try it and see

Yay!

aHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa at the jealous PS3 fanboys!

but for some reason it reminds me of America McGee Alice (which I love)

Just the worlds appearance.

I really wish they would RE-DO the Alice game with the new technology with regards to video processors. But DON'T change the game... it is/was awsome. (think I will install and play again)

As much as I love my FPS, GTA's, fighers, etc, etc ... I love this sort of game as well.

- Kameo
- Ratchet and Clank

Very fun styles. For those who have never tried them, and turned your nose up ... give this type of game a try. You may find yourself kicking your butt for missing out.
