The loss of Rare

How big of a loss, do you believe that selling rare to Xbox is to Nintendo, especially with games such as Kameo, Perfect Dark, Conker and Banjo Kazooie being released on the Xbox and the 360?

Havent Rare lost Rare if you know what i mean? I thought it wasnt really the same guys anymore.

Kameo looked much better when being designed for ninty but what did we get? boxing glove wearing cati???

With the exception of conker all rare games would've been better on nintendo consoles. As they're previous titles show.

Yeah most of the team had left by the time of the sale... the IP's were the only real loss...

BTW: Love the Sig :lol:

Rare isn't as good as they used to be(reason Nintendo didn't care about them anymore should proov something) Nintendo didn't even make a bid at there most important 2nd party is proove in itself there not the same. the only thing nintendo lost is the rights to some of those games but it's not the same rare , how do i know this? i'm not running to buy there new games and i was a huge rare fan. one of my top 10 favorite games of all time Jet Force Gemini. Nintendo Instills a quality from it's devs and seems MS isn't worried about the gameplay Elements more than the Graphics elemts(just look how much Lemming care about GFX)so they need games with good Graphics so they can maintain that quality.

 There games are good not but they used to be Amazing ,near Perfect ,remarkable etc etc. Sure they can make a good game but there not worth all that money just to make good games, MS doesn't care they just want the name "Rare" makes people think there still the same etc etc.

The only really great game Rare has made since they were sold to Microsoft is Viva Pinata. I think that because Perfect Dark and Kameo were originally created with another console in mind that they didn't make full use of the 360. I also think that we'll see much better games from Rare in the future that were developed for the 360 from the ground up, such as Banjo.jbrittain

ds has rare games enough said :|

and you do :roll:

Nintendo was running Rare into the ground, and Rare fans were lucky MS picked it up since they really have a lassie fair approach when it comes to developers.  It almost seemed like the buyout was too late to save Rare, but once the 360 was released Rare came out with 3 pretty good titles the first year leaving hope that the developer finally has gotten it's act together.jrhawk42

:lol: please explain more beacuse it wasnt Nintendo fault rare took so long to make great games. and rare team leaving :|

Rare totally sucks now. After Conker's bad fur day, the quality of their games plummited. Perfect Dark Zero was the saddest excuse for a game that I have ever played and this is coming from someone who is a Perfect Dark fan. Unfortunately, I have not played Viva Pinata, though I hear it is good, I cannot comment on it until I have played it. organic_machine

Your right Viva Pinata would have been a great game for the Wii and would have done well unlike the 360 where the game failed.......

GS is one of the few that gave PDZ a higher rated review. A lot of other places gave it what it deserved. I think the best example of that is Game Informer. It deserved that 7 completely.

PDZ is NOT a AAA game, GS screwed up because they were dazzled by the next gen.  The game is not even AA.GunSmith1_basic

Rare makes some really great games. Probably the most varied kind of games you'll find on the 360. Unfortunately the 360 userbase doesn't seem to be into games like Viva Pinata or Banjo and Kazooie.

PDZ is over rated here at gamespot but that doesn't mean the game is worthless.

PDZ, Kameo, and Viva Pinata are three good games and Rare only seems to be getting better with each release.

Rare wasn't the same at the time of nintendo selling, and nintendo knew that. By the time nintendo sold rare, timesplitters in the ps2 had already been released by free radical with the making of staff and lead designers that had left rare.

 All the clues are there, including nintendo giving metroid to a new developing studio instead of its once best second party developer. Whoever thinks newcomer MS gave a blow to nintendo with that is mistaken. All they did was to buy a brand that would dillude itself with time, and nintendo knew this.

 Of the 5 games rare promised to be released on 5 years(xbox lifespan) most of them sucked and a few didn't make it in time. That goes to show the development house isn't the same, and most likely never will again.
