First glimpse of new Rare game? (terrible picture quality)

We already know that Rare is working on new IP. They've said as much through their hiring and with that Rare bag they teased with a couple of months ago.. I'd post a link but then I'd be self-advertising.

Now we're also getting a new historic IP. Wizards & Warriors is a great game, but not one that would be considered historic to Rare and gaming. Killer Instinct fits that bill perfectly, as do others such as Perfect Dark and Banjo. At this time we have sufficient evidence that Killer Instinct is likely though, the others we do not.

If the word "IP" hadn't been used and just historic game my theory would be...

GoldenEye XBLA. They saved it for Xbox One since 360 XBLA games can't be transferred over supposedly. Nintendo wouldn't have an inferior version thanks to the Wii U so Iwata doesn't have that reason to be upset anymore.

Was there not talk of a Samurai game from Rare (I think it was hidden in that 'four new IP's thread' from MS), so maybe this is the progression from that with the Samurai character the lead in this game world.

A conference so bad that people have to use MS paint to highlight where the games were.

Yeah, there have been murmurs of a Samurai character. I know the picture quality is awful but I don't get any bit of a Samurai feel.

Believe it was called "Chief Samurai". There was also a rumor of an "Okami inspired" adventure game from the Banjo creator or something like that.

What evidence is there besides, "I really want them to do it"?

The game looked pretty cartoony. If it's not Wizards and Warriors then what the fuck is it?

A new ip maybe? Possibly Kinect related. They got rid of the Avatars so there's something you need to use for broad family games.

I'm going to miss my avatar so much

The main evidence is that MS has been fighting to get the KI trademark for a while now and successfully reached an agreement to have joint rights with Fox if I understood it right. Also, Robin Beanland, the original KI composer is still at Rare :)
 
Looks like a N64 game.

Not really. However, it would be awesome if this game was as good as any of their N64 titles...Actually I wouldn't even mind N64 graphics if that made the old magic return for some reason, haha! I need my Kirkhope, David Wise or Robin Beanland music in a Rare game, though. Robin is still at Rare, isn't he?

Yep, Robin Beanland is still there. That is why KI would be great. Give me some more of that awesome soundtrack!

Character in jumpsuit + gesturing towards camera (player) + character off-centered as to not be right in the line of sight of the player + Rare's current track record = Kinect-themed adventure/sports game.

Calling it now.

Jumpsuit? Looks like he is dressed as a Knight. Also about Rare's current "track record" of doing Kinect games. What have they done Kinect wise other than Kinect sports?
