Even more Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshots surface

The Microsoft Gamers Day 2008 leak (which all but confirmed Viva Pinata and Scene It? sequels) continues to give us leaky goods, this time in the form of more Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshots.

Yesterday, we posted a rumor about two Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshots making the internet rounds and how we couldn't be 100% sure they were real. We still can't be 100% certain they're legit (we'll say 99.9% certain), but now thirteen more Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshots have leaked their way online which has to say something. These newer screenshots come courtesy of a NeoGAF member who discovered them on a Microsoft owned press site that accidentally posted all of the MGD08 assets a few days early. We uploaded all fifteen leaked and still "alleged" Banjo-Kazooie 3 screenshots to the gallery below so you can look at the interesting characters, the abundance of vehicles and the game's gorgeous lighting. It's all yummy delicious! Expect to hear official news and an official asset release sometime mid-week.

The heaviness of vehicles in the screenshots is somewhat troubling to those looking for this game to be a pure platformer, but I refuse to pass judgement until I see what Rare has done with this game. Based on the screenshots we have here, BK3 makes a case for being some sort of mish-mash of platforming and either vehicular combat, or (dare I say this?) some sort of...open world-ish game. Maybe the fact that I'm up at 2 AM is harming my brain, but what I just typed makes sense to me right now. :D

I think everyone should reserve judgement for the videos that will be released on Tuesday. Some Rare developer at GAF posted that we'll be seeing all of this in action then, and I tend to believe anything I read, so there's that, heh.

Those look awesome! Can't wait! Well done X3F on getting it right that Viva Pinata was Rare's other project this year, I coulda sworn it would be a new Perfect Dark...

Microsoft sure are pushing the casual market this year (Yay for all three of those games, love em all) but their main push this year should be "Look at all these awesome games, don't buy a PS3" if it's going to prevent the PS3 from majorly catching up this year.

I hope Microsoft really do a good PR job on big hitters like Fable 2, Too Human, Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Banjo Kazooie 3, Splinter Cell: Conviction and all the other masses of exclusives we have this year. Most Sony fanboys think all we have this year exclusively is about three games - let it be known Microsoft!

I hope some more casual players make the jump to 360, as it's cheaper than a Wii over here (and in my opinion, far better). It's becoming a console for everyone now, so it'll be interesting to see how these three new titles affect casual gamers view on the console.
