How Rare has fallen...

After waiting to find out what thier big announcment was on thier website, it turns out to be kinect sports... From the developers that brought us Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazzoie, Perfect Dark and Goldeneye, Microsoft ahs now got them working on a mini-game compilation... Thanks microsoft, you're awesome.

Nothing we can do, but wait until their forums come up, and write a long, angry, post.

They didn't leave, Microsoft bought rights to them before the Contract with Nintendo ended.

rare made conker's bad fur day as well. *sigh* im actually feel much more relieved that retro is making the new DK

This. Rare used to be awesome. Now better men are making better remakes and new iterations of their games (GoldenEye, Donkey Kong.)

Oh geez.....

let me guess, (if you had one) you sold your Wii after E3 08 right?

Games, especially Rare quality games take years to make. Considering the size of Rare, do you really think all their working on is Kinect Sports? of course not, its just that all their other projects are not in a fit state at the moment.

Its just like Nintendo E3 08. Does anyone remember when Iwata said the Zelda and Mario teams are hard at work? they probably could have shown something then but games like SMG2 etc would have released just like they did now. The same thing with Rare. I cant remember the source but in response to an interview, they said the games are coming, they're just not in a presentable state.

sure... but Nintendo has released a bunch of awesome games Mario Kart, New Super Mario Bros, Zelda Twilight Princess, Maro Galaxy, mario galaxy 2, smash bros brawl etc.

Now we think about Rare... since the gen started we've gotten Kameo and a bad sequal to Perfect Dark. Where's the awesome games they're known for. personally, I want a prope bnjo kazooie sequal...

VIva Pinata, Kameo, Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts and imo PD0 were all great games, yea I agree Im dissapointed that there big announcement was a wii sports rip off, but come on your putting them under waay too high standards, you do know that a company cannot keep on making perfect games forever right?

Rare sucks anyway the guys that Did Perfect dark wen't to make free radical thats why Timesplitters was so fun, and thats why Perfect Dark zero and every rare game since then has been awful.Sniping_Crowbar

Retro studios will become new "Rare", if they success with DKC:R. And I think they will, because the game looks great.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen... And how little it bothers me.

yep because Haze was such a completem asterpeice, and Perfect Dark Zero was a broken piece of garbage

oh wait... :|

Rare definitly aint what it used to be. Nowadays people are saying Retro is the new Rare. I just hope after the new Donkey Kong, Nintendo lets them work on a brand new IP.

you';re saying rare is awful because there talent was in the people that went to Free Radical, but Free Radical made haze which cannot be called good at all in any way.

well then by that logic Perfect Dark and Goldeneye make up for Perfect Dark 0, saying a game is bad before its released doesnt magically make it a better game.
