Search'd, found nothing.
Lock if old.

[sprsk]

That blue ball there looks awfully familiar.

 

[HugBasket]

Love the art.

 

[Yoboman]

Looks awesome

But man, they really took a leaf out of LBP's book

 

[Tobor]

I love the faux stone wallpaper.

 

[batbeg]

I have no idea what's going on and I want it even though I hated the first two games. I love the rolling skyline pixels, and the depth of field (or whatever it's called) looks beautiful.

Want!

Edit: Actually, is that effect just behind the sign to show it's a level off a hub? I hope not, I hate those kinds of things

 

[DDayton]

Why do the "first shots" of a Rare platformer not show any platforming?

Or has that little aspect of BK been removed?

 

[yoopoo]

Awesome. They should let Rare make GOW2. These guys know how to do color.

 

[LaneDS]

Interesting that they're in a vehicle in both shots.

Looks good though, I think. Need more info & shots!

 

[titiklabingapat]

It reminded me of SMG, tbh.

Not the actual art style, but the feel to it all. The nonsensicalness of it all.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

Jesus christ YES

Best game of 2008

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Ah, so it's a 3rd person, vehicle-based, Twisted Metal-style online shooter.

*Phew*

Looks awesome

But man, they really took a leaf out of LBP's book

Not to start anything, but how?

 

[slider]

LBP or not (and yes, it is VERY similar IMO), it still looks good.

 

[Angelcurio]

The graphics style looks ripped off from other game on a competing console that is also being released this year....

 

[angelfly]

Love the look of the environments but I still hate the way they designed the characters.

 

[pswii60]

Are these leaked? Thought we wouldn't be seeing them until Tuesday.

Looks awesome though. Razor-sharp colourful graphics. Just what we need after all the grey and brown so far this gen.

The textures though, they're super-crisp. Impressive.

 

[Visualante]

Round nose! :/ Sauce?

10/10 Rare

 

[bigmakstudios]

Whoa. I love the art style. I really have no idea what's going on in the screens though. I can't wait for videos.

LBP or not (and yes, it is VERY similar IMO), it still looks good.

what
how
i don't even

 

[Coin Return]

Vehicles, eh? Looks vibrant, and the world design looks like they are encapsulated. Hmm....

 

[beerbelly]

The vehicles look awful :lol But I'm guessing the player can build them anyway they want it.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Better rehost them somewhere else, they'll be yellow frog'd pretty quick I'd imagine!

 

[Zedsdeadbaby]

Jesus christ YES

Best game of 2008

IT IS A HERALDED MASTERPIECE!

:lol

 

[Bluemercury]

Now this looks cool, much interesting than any gears or zones.....

 

[temjin]

L O V E

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

So maybe the gameplay involves building things to complete your objective?

 

[evlcookie]

Love the colour!

 

[GitarooMan]

Can't wait, most anticipated game of the year and :lol at the LBP comments, nobody ever wants to give Rare any credit for anything.

 

[Bearillusion]

Looks great.

 

[Gowans]

Looks good but I want to see something with some context, look forward to seeing more on the 12th.

 

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Why do the "first shots" of a Rare platformer not show any platforming?

Or has that little aspect of BK been removed?

The N64 BK games have very little platforming to begin with.

 

[LaneDS]

Definitely hard to tell but looks like Banjo got some revisions from his (hated) X06 appearance.

 

[dark10x]

Looks amazing, but damn, I could never get into the series and have hated everything else Rare has done over the past several years. :\

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I like it, but at the same time, where's the damn platforming?

The art direction was WTF at first, but it's growing on me. The graphics are on crack.

 

[epmode]

I'm guessing that it's the same vehicle. Transforms or something.

 

[_Alkaline_]

Wow. Looks great but i want to see some platforming.

It really does look a lot like Little Big Planet. :lol

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Delivered, will look incredible in motion.

 

[Rlan]

????

Looks very pretty, but I want Platforming Shots, dammit!

 

[derder]

Wow, My desire for this game went from -100 -> +100 in two screenshots.

Jesus, that art is amazing. Look at the peeling "sticker" on the wall.

 

[msdstc]

The visuals are pretty nice, but it's hard to really take anything from these shots. Banjos design still looks like shit. Seriously what was wrong with the old one. And yeah people are right, *banjo and LBP have similar art styles*

 

[Gowans]

So maybe the gameplay involves building things to complete your objective?

oohh I think you could be on to something there going by what can be seen of the vehicle layouts from the pics.

 

[Nolan.]

Wasn't this in development quite longer than Lbp, I don't see how it could copy it...

 

[GitarooMan]

I like it, but at the same time, where's the damn platforming?

It's just two screenshots for cryin out loud.

 

[evilromero]

I'll buy the Banjo games no matter what. I even got that flying game. I just hope they retain the giant open world experience of the previous games.

 

[Blablurn]

looks wonderful. hope that its not a vehicle-only game (since they announced banjo threei will be a bit different than previous banjo kazooie games)

 

[Costanza]

Looks pretty good.

 

[DeathbyVolcano]

IT IS A HERALDED MASTERPIECE!

:lol

I love the Banjo games, shut up :lol

 

[Opus Angelorum]

And yeah people are right, they definitely leeched off of LBP,

What? This has been in development long before LBP.

 

[Yoshichan]

Looks okay :/

 

[krypt0nian]

Beautiful, but they should have shown the waggle calibration screens.

 

[DDayton]

The N64 BK games have very little platforming to begin with.

True... I suppose I should have said something along the lines of "3D polygonal running-about adventure" or something, but you got my intended point...

The pic does give me a weird sort of... well... "updated Diddy Kong Racing" feel... I wonder if the vehicles are a heavy part of gameplay, or just used in certain levels/challenges?
