Phil Spencer Played A New Game From Rare Today
- Thread starter Liamc723
- Start date
Killer Instinct is better than it's ever been though.
I can't argue with everything else
I care about Rare + Microsoft, millions of others do judging by how the games sold on 360.
They're capable of delivering another Viva Pinata.
I still have a feeling we're getting a new one since Horstachio was randomly on Rare's last Christmas card.
I wouldn't mind. Viva Pinata is one of my favorite 360 games.

My guess is he's still smiling because when he pressed pause today, this is what he heard:

Apparently they're at Lionhead today, playing Fable Legends. I wonder if we'll get any tweets about Lionhead's second project.

You can say that about any studio including retro and naughty dog. None of these studios have the same teams they did in the golden age of gaming in the 90s. Doesn't mean they can't make a comeback if they find and hold onto fresh talent and give them the support and attention they need to make great games.
Is it safe to assume that you're doing the music for this new game?

from what i read on IGN there is a pledge to the Battletoads trademark from Microsoft, so there is no real surprise here ... BUT IM HAPPY AS F@#$!!!!
Phil spencer was with them on the 5th of November, looking at his tweets unless he's going back again.

Indeed. It was a good game, but not a Banjo game. Also hoping for Banjo so much. Banjo-Threeie alone would validate my Xbox One purchase instantly.

Do Lionhead actually have an active 'second project'?! They have a small team prototyping ideas, but have they actually settled on something?
Well, their last game was copying Wii Sports, so I wouldn't be entirely surprised if their next game was copying NintendoLand.

The only game I bitch about more than Resi 6 is Nuts&Bolts. What the fuck were they thinking? The game probably started out as a platformer/action adventure but when they completely changed they genre they should have taken the BK name off of it.

I'm fine with it having that name, as long as they also made a sequel to the main series. Getting this instead of a new collectathon was devastating though.
@Xav: Where did you hear that? A Nintendoland clone and Battletoads would make me very sad

I hope they show some footage next month in the Game Awards thing.

Yep, that's exactly how I felt. I actually bought a 360 for the Banjo game, I'm still pissed off about it.

They won't. Don't forget that
I wouldn't expect to hear more about Rare's next game until E3 next year, at the soonest.
Rare and MS would be stupid not to make a Banjo Threeie or a new Perfect Dark for the X1. The sheer amount of hype, buzz, and goodwill created would be huge. Announcing either would make gamers love Xbox again.
Phil Spencer says he reads Gaf, well pay good attention to this comment mate.

Do you have anything worthwhile to contribute to the thread other than baseless shitposting??? The "comeback to nintendo, Rare" whining got old in 2008, its still old now.
Links?

Or they've had a small team working on this for some time with the bulk coming aboard after Rivals was released?
You're probably right though...

Hear, hear!!
Studio philosophy can change drastically when you're slogging in the competition. Just like Nintendo was in the 64 era w/ Playstation.
Now isn't that a familiar scenario...
But, again. Battletoads is a lock. Banjo is pretty likely.

All I ask is that it includes inanimate objects with eyes. I miss old Rare
gravedigger IP company > Nintendo.
Wazup?
Maybe during The Game Awards 2014?

I seem to recall reading on Eurogamer before the launch of KSR that all of the company (about 170 people as I recall?) was working on it. But I can't be arsed to search out a link and I could be mistaken.
We have a bona fide audio god in our midst.
I hope its not Battletoads, I know there is a new generation of turtles fans so it would appeal to that demographic but a new Conker or Banjo game is long overdue. Rare get a lot of criticism for not being the same as Nintendo Rare but I bet there are still some talented guys working there. It would be nice if MS gave them a chance to prove everyone wrong and pay homage to one of those games.
According to Kampfheld a new banjo will be announced at E3, so it should make an appearance since he has been pretty spot on with his hints, but I don't know if it'll be developed by Rare or passed onto another team.

Yup, a game Double Helix made and not Rare.
Robin Beanland!?
Dude, you're like my hero in the video game music scene. Conker's soundtrack is a work of art.

I'm more interested in other companies having a crack at Rare properties (ie Double Helix and Iron Galaxy with Killer Instinct) than Rare themselves doing anything. Almost anyone of note from back in the day has long since bailed and Rare as a developer hasn't made an above average game in nearly a decade.

This was today:
I have no idea, but I'd imagine something has crystallized over the past 5 months since we last heard of them.
Kameo was thoroughly enjoyable, so it would definitely be huge for me.
Why are people doing this to themselves?
