Kinect 3.0 with Banjo Threeie, Battletoads: Toads in Time, Conker's Really Bad Fur Day, Viva 3, Kameo 2, Super Perfect Dark, and HL3 all exclusive to the device.

I could see Perfect Dark getting a multiplayer F2P title with cosmetic micro-transactions, ala TF2.

I don't think we're every going to escape these posts :/
I liked pretty much all of their 360 games. Not sure why people seem to think they're shit devs when they put out a lot of quality titles last gen.

Watch it be a new Banjo game, then we'll have 2 classic adventure games to look forward to.
Confidence hasn't been too high for a while for good reason.
Setting aside some few vets remaining I wouldn't say it doesn't mean that new Rare can't prove themselves. The studio can still create visual, colorful marvels, and for what it's worth, Gregg Mayles is still in the fold as the last really "big" player, and that is a pretty big player when talking about game design.
But they have a pretty large hill to climb in order to prove that they still have the chops to make that well designed game.

Seriously. It's ridiculous. There's still a few key members there and there's no reason to believe that their development staff isn't completely capable.
While Kinect Sports was... Well, Kinect sports, the games in that franchise were made impeccably in the limits of the hardware. Rare still has it, and Kameo/Viva Pinata help prove that. Banjo is such a tear down the middle because of the formula change, but the game suffered a lot by being in development hell for so long.

Man, a new Viva Pinata would be a total system seller for me, and i'm not even joking. I fucking loved the first game so much, lost the count of so many hours i invested into it, i just love micromanagement games. It's probably not going to happen on this E3, but man, i would lose my shit if it was.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
Think how pretty it would be, too.

Wasn't this already known for weeks now?

I would throw my hat in the ring for a new Viva Pinata also, spent hours and hours playing that damn thing on the Xbox 360.

We already got two Viva Piñata games (plus DS/Party Animals).
I'd be perfectly happy with a port of Trouble in Paradise, I can't say I really feel the for a third one, many other IPs (or new IPs) they would be better off making.

Last non kinect game was the excellent Nuts and Bolts right? There has been a large exodus of people since then so I was just wondering why people are getting on the hype train about an announcement from a company which is mostly just a name

Because the people that left aren't the only talented people in the industry?
Im less bothered about the name and just want good games. Also, if you read the entire conversation you'll see the game is Gregg Mayles project
Considering how great Microsoft has been with Rare IP since the X1 lanuch (Killer Instinct by Double Helx/Iron Galaxy at launch and beyond, Battletoads appearing in Shovel Knight as a killer boss fight, and the Project Spark guys doing a solid job with their recently released Conker episodic game), this doesn't shock me in the slightest .
Due to all this recent Rare stuff, my bets for Rare's big E3 game is one of the following:
-Battletoads Reborn: Digital tittle on X1 and PC that is just as great as the old school tittles. Does a few things to modernize the series a bit (difficulty options, controller customization, ect) as well.
-New IP inspired by the Banjo series: Similar to Yooka-Layee, I could see Rare take what they did with Banjo but do something new with it while also paying homage to it in a few ways. This could also easily be Banjo as well, but considering how Playtonic is aware of Rare's future projects (one of which could be Banjo 3), I highly doubt they would have made Yooka-Layee if they knew a proper Banjo game is coming.
-Rebooting an older IP like Blast Corps, Jet Force, or something else.

Must be something different and not a platformer.
"New things" makes me believe no Banjo Threeie
Their only bad game was Rivals. The first Kinect sports was successful and not bad at the time. Viva, Kameo, etc, all amazing.
So no, not a good reason.

What if Battletoads is an open world 4 player co-op platformer?

Considering most of the team that created BK and most of the Rare classics is gone, I just wish he'd join up with Playtonic

Remember that cancelled game Urchin?
Would love for them to try that again

This pretty much, all the talented people have left.
Not that it matters as I was not going to get an xbone regardless if it turns out to be good or not.
Nuts and Bolts is a terrible game and I didn't care for their other titles.

So who have Rare been hiring since? You really think they hired a bunch of untalented people off the streets? Such a ridiculous comment.
I'm sick of seeing this on here. The guy in the tweet in question was the designer of Donkey Kong Country.
Is it bad that I hope Hololens completely bombs so they stop allocating resources towards it?
