First screenshots of "Banjo Kazooie 3"

United Kingdom — 

If you hold the N64-era in such a good memory as I do, and this not only for the masterpiece "Ocarina of Time" (which, as designer Shigeru Miyamoto pointed out very recently, was considered at some point to be programmed in first-person-perspective before that idea was finally abandoned) but also for the hey-day of developer Rare, which created some of the best and funniest games I have ever played up til now (yes, Conker's Bad Fur Day, that's right: I'm looking at you), then it could be a very good idea to take a very quick look at the British Gaming Blog right now.

They just announced that Rare have finally released the very first screenshots for Banjo Kazooie 3 (or as some call it: Banjo Threeie), the third instalment in a series that had its glorious beginning on the N64 as well. Of course, the screenshots don't look like N64 at all. You can see the protagonists in two different vehicles (in air and on water), making their way through landscapes that look really fantastic and somehow inspired by upcoming "Little Big Planet", exclusive for PS3. So here it is: proof that this game that was somehow rumoured to not even be in production anymore at the beginning of this year, really does exist.

And it might well be the reason I will at some point buy a XBox360 for.

Uploaded the pic. BTW, a somewhat higher picture -- in the y-Dimension -- would have been better, minimum height should be 250, 300 or 350 is better. Oh, and +10 EXP for Knurrunkulus and +5 EXP for Starkiller (picture) :-)

Thanks for the pic and the EXP. When you look at the news in the "Top"-section of the main page, the link to the sidenote about Shigeru Miyamoto isn't displayed correctly, but when you click on "Read more" the link in the whole news story looks completely normal. Can someone tell me why this is like that? Sometimes hyperlinks are still a bit of a mystery to me.

I see that, too, but I have no idea why the link is displayed in its "tag form". On a similar occasion, Jan said it had something to do with caching.

The next time this happens, we might get around that by making this rather long URL into a TinyURL, that might get rid of the problem.

I've "demoted" the news, because the wrongly displayed link was sabotaging the layout of the right content frame in the special section. Sorry about that, and you're keeping the EXP, of course.

You want pictures with more hight? Not a problem, here it is. :-)
I will keep that in mind for the future, I made it that way on purpose, like a header-logo, now it has a hight of 440px.

we should put all these things into an "how to write good articles" text.
