I want a third-person, Uncharted style game set in a Bladerunner style world, as Joanna goes around stealthily taking down dataDyne from the inside out.

I always find the "Uncharted style" such a bizarre thing to say for Perfect Dark. Uncharted is influenced by Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell and Deux Ex are much better examples of what they should be going for.
I think the guys over at Playtonic already know what Rare are making.
They do and are saying the fans will be very pleased. Phil Harrison mentioned having worked on new projects with Rare was a personal career highlight for him.
Really am hyped for Rare next game, its by Greg so I'm personally hyped for this more than any other game at e3.

Exactly! People are ignoring this incredibly vital bit of information.
Well, only if you choose to ignore that the developers at Playtonic saw and knew about what RARE was working on and then announced Yooka Laylee...
Coincidence? I don't believe in coincidence...
And more than that, they said it's something that Rare fans will be very excited about. I think we're going to be happy.

Please not be a battletoads game from rare and be a new ip or a conker,banjo,perfect dark,kameo,viva piñata new game.
A battletoads game is not a system seller and not a AAA franchise.

Sure they can but in my opinion i don't think this is the big game the xbox one needs it.

Yeah, but who wanted Wizards & Warriors on the N64?
Rare has had their most critical and commercial success on the SNES and N64, so it's natural that people want those franchises to come back.
what's stopping them from making it AAA though?
Yeah, I really want to see a beautiful Banjo game. Fluid controls, great gameplay and an amazing world. MS really needs to show off something before Nintendo talk about new Mario Galaxy or something.
I would love a remix of Viva Pinata 1 and 2 for Kinect. HD remix of Conker would also be great. Really not sure how to do Perfect Dark though.

I wonder what Rare is thinking about Y-L...
also it will be Battletoads
also it will be Battletoads
"Hey, we made a game just like that!"
Simon Woodroffe (sp?), studio head at Rare, has been retweeting a lot of Playtonics tweets. He seems really happy for them at the very least.
We know Battletoads is coming, but we don't know if it's from Rare or if it's the only game they're working on.

Their last game was just over a year ago, its nice to hear they're definitely at E3, should sort of indicate somewhat how far along it is.
Simon Woodroffe is the creative director, the studio head is Craig Duncan, they worked together at Midway

It has to be a new IP or Banjo. Battletoads is happening, that's a given. But let's be real, does Battletoads strike anyone as a game that would be given such immense hype and resources? Or does it strike you as a game that would be given the KI treatment? Given to another developer and released digitally with input from Rare. E3 can't come soon enough.

they should be happy for them, finally unshackled from MS and able to make games they want and the kickstarter reaction shows there's still an audience for that kind of stuff.
If Rare does deliver with something fresh and new soon, we'll just have two studios making the kinds of Rare games we've wanted for years.
I have no love or nostalgia for battletoads despite playing it in the nes days, but if they want to revive it, whatever. It would make sense as a smaller digital side scroller thing since MS really needs to boost their smaller first party xbla type stuff on the xb1. Things like Ori and the Blind Forest are amazing and all, but give me stuff like the 360 Banjo Kazooie HD collection, a hexic, hydro thunder, Jetpac Refuelled, etc.
A KI revival made sense as it gave them an exclusive fighting game, which is a genre with a hardcore following and always has an audience.
It seems like Rare only releases 1 game roughly every 2 years with a staff possibly less than 200. It used to be 200 as of 2008, but Microsoft restructured the studio, laying off staff while some chose to quit. Kinect Sports Rivals apparently used 150 staff members to make it, but Microsoft laid off more staff due to the game's sales. For all we know, this new project may not be out this year. Microsoft still has Halo 5 and a new Forza coming out this year, right? Also, Quantum Break was delayed to next year and no news updates yet on Scalebound, Crackdown or Gears of War if I'm not mistaken.

We've known Rare are working on something for a while, the only new news is that it will be announced at e3.
Got nothing to do with yooka-laylee
People want it to be, but Rare is hinting at a new IP.

It's either new or it will be a game that is not Banjo or Battletoads, Battletoads is a 2D feranchise that can only work in 2D. The company making the Banjo like game would not have made it if it was banjop because they would lose immediately.
They already said no Perfect Dark, so the only likely candidtates and pro AM, Viva, Kameo, Conker, Jet for Gemini, taking another Ip that is not there's originally or a new IP.

People unless you want a more clunky game similar to Final Fight Streetwise or Retribnution with toads, there's not gonna be an AAA 3D battletoads.
I can't see how it would possibly work, and I'm pretty sure it probably can't. I mean if they some how pull it off it will be interesting but something tells me that's not the best idea. Especially since it would most likely have Ryse's repetition.

Its not new news though. Phil Spencer said we'd see what they were doing at E3 like 2 months ago.

I just want a new banjo. But I have a feeling that we won't see one at E3.
They could make it a 3rd person action fighter like a triple A version of Anarchy Reigns.
I might buy it then.

Oh man, imagine an RC Pro-Am game but instead of a track you're in the real world negotiating obstacles like Micro Machines.
You can have eight pads connected so do the MM two players per pad thing, 16 player local co-op (which nobody will ever use but still, 16 players!)
I just want a micro machines game

Wonder if it will be the ghosts n goblins or battle toads rumored about for so long. Really excited whatever it is
Pretty sure the only thing Phil said was that 2015 was going to be a big year for Rare or something. Maybe I've missed some of his tweets?

Definitely Battletoads
That is a narrow viewpoint.
I'd argue the opposite is a narrow viewpoint.
Yeah i've wanted a PD reboot for a while now but as of yet they supposedly aren't working on one but have been discussing it according to Ken Lobb. Not much of a BnK fan but a good platformer couldn't hurt.

If they're going that route why not just go with an entirely new game? That style of game doesn't suit Perfect Dark at all in my opinion.
Keep PD as a shooter.
I'm just curious but when did they say no Perfect Dark? Sorry, I haven't kept up too much on recent Rare news lately.

Seriously, that's getting old. According to Google that single URL has been posted 178 times on Neogaf, apparently in all topics including the word "Rare".
