Does microsoft still have rare ??

I have not not heard anything from them in some time after the stamper brothers left ??

They should make a new killer instinct update like how goldeneye got updated I would but the 360 just for that.

They just releasedkinect sports and it's not that bad

They're Kinect devs now.Deathtransit

Rare Fell because of Nintendo

[QUOTE="Deathtransit"]They're Kinect devs now.pimpog

Rare have been reduced to creating avatars and shovelware now. It's sad but true.

Yes, being an integral part of one of the largest companies in the world is such a "step down"

Nintendo dumped them thinking they were done and they're more valuable now then ever

Rare has abandoned the Games they made their Fans love so much for Casual Mii Ripoffs.

That's why the redid Perfect Dark from the ground up just to give fan service?

Really?

You actually just posted that they abandoned things?

Banjo kazooie : Nuts and bolts was a great game I thought. A far cry though, from their n64 efforts.

It's Rare's game

They're the ones that wanted it out and they're the ones that let it be redone and released for their fans

So yes, they did it

yet, That's all they are doing for their Fans.

Just Rereleasing old stuff.

Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts was an abomination to the Banjo Kazooie series, Perfect Dark Zero didn't live up to it's predicessor, There's no Killer Instinct 3 or another Battletoads, or heck....Conker for that matter.

An 8 everywhere isn't an abomination, same for Perfect Dark

Battletoads? One of the worst games of all time with one part of the game completely broken?

You want more broken games? No they're done with Nintendo, they don't have to suffer through N's cost cutting moves to recoup losses anymore.

still, the game is great regardless of how much better a true bk platformer would have been.

an 8 isn't an abomination, but Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts, WAS NOT the Banjo Kazooie game I was waiting for. Perfect Dark Zero I haven't played yet, but to my Knowledge Perfect Dark N64 scored higher.

Battletoads is a Rare IP and there hasn't been a game sense the SNES days? What happened?

Again, their games are still in the 8's everywhere

Nintendo doesn't do cutting edge, they aim for casuals and children so they let Rare take care of the cutting edge and were rewarded for it then Nintendo through that they could do cutting edge and let Rare go and they failed to make up the losses. Rare isn't cutting edge anymore but they're still one of the best in the business and Microsoft trusted them to be the framework of everything the 360 is now.

The idea that they're somehow making bad products isn't true, a company in the console race does not turn to a weak company and then base everything on what they design

I liked it so high five for Rare not doing what you wanted, personal taste does not distinguish good or bad

Perfect Dark scored lower, it's not like one scored in the 9's and one scored in the 6's

What happened to Battletoads? It was a bad game, Do you also want CheetahMen to make a comeback?

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="Sword-Demon"] you call making games that almost any talentless dev could make "integral" and "valuable"? sure, they're making a profit for MS, but their game quality is nowhere near what it used to be. I would call that a step down-The-G-Man-

what was your favorite rare game on the n64? for me it would have to be banjo Tooie :)

Yes, and they need to do more with them, they spent 375 million on them after all.

If you wanna talk scores then that just proves current RARE is a shadow of it's former self.

Donkey Kong 64 (N64) 9.0

Banjo-Kazooie (N64) 9.5

Banjo-Tooie (N64) 9.6

Conker's Bad Fur Day (N64) 9.3

GoldenEye 007 (N64) 9.8

Perfect Dark (N64) 9.9

Indeed, RARE in it's prime people.

do you want to know something? Nintendo replaced RARE with retro studio's, and haven't looked back :)

To Jayson guy.

Quality sure looks like it went down a bit.

[QUOTE="Deathtransit"]They're Kinect devs now.JuarN18

yeah the only major dev left from there N64 games to my knowledge is Greg Mayles, and he was recently replaced as the head of Rareanyways, so I can see him possibly leaving as well

I just saw the old rare games and it just made me sad to see how far the company has fallen.
