Do you think they will set up a new company? or have they already?

Laurelin 04.01.2007#27

Oh, that's not fair. They did some great games, quite recently too.
Anyone knows Sabrewulf for GBA? It's like Donkey Kong Country with other heroes and villains and the idea with the creatures you use to move through levels I don't like, but the rest is wonderful.

These guys where great when at Nintendo, but since they are under Siege of Microsoft, they aren't the same anymore. Kameo itself is funny, but it had been poorly marketed by MS. Viva Pinata is strange, but why on an Xbox? You can't shoot anything with big waepons in there, so why bother M$-kiddies with it *runs away hiding from the rage here*

Rare is fading, that's what someone said who had a job opportunity there but went to Crytek instead. So, Dojo, go there and revive them! Defibrilate them! CORRUPT THEM! ...to come back to Nintendo and do good again.

I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Excuse me, but all this doom-and-gloom talk is totally ridiculous. When was the last time Rare made a shit game?

I think people are saying that they've become mediocre and dissapointing (I personally can't comment as I haven't played anyone their latest games) compared to the stunners they used to belt out.

Well, it's probably because Rare have been less than "amazing" since the N64 days, while this happens with any game company, I guess some people could see it as MS' fault Smilie

Rare hasn't been shit, but the games they released don't really seem to deserve all the hype they got.

I'm wondering what will become of Bajo Threeie now that the Rare Brothers have left? Smilie

Viva Pinata is arguably the best game on the 360

Well... Arguably the second best... Kameo was sort of... Meh-ish. I'd still probably buy it though.

But yeah I'm also interested in what they intend to be doing now. If they are making a new studio I'll be very interested in what they put out

Still a proud member of the 'omfg amazing water in games' society
