Rumor: Rare is working on two new games

I'm personally hoping for them both to be new ips.

I dunno why people are begging for sequels to N64 games when Rare is basically an entirely different studio now. Possibly a very good one (Sea of Thieves looks mint), but they're not the same people who made those N64 classics. I'm sure they could make good sequels to them, but so could any competent studio; they're not going to be more 'authentic' cos they're made by Rare.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Battletoads is trash, people. The IP is garbage. Conker was incredibly overrated as well.
Banjo is where it is at. The market is still there for a huge, lush 3D platformer. I'd take a Kameo as well, but we'll see.

Yep, but from what i've seen I trust this new-new Rare to make something fresh and nice

Going by Crash Bandicoot threads here on Neogaf, I thought nobody wanted them apparently lol

The Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter was record-breaking, IIRC. The thirst is there.
My dream scenario for Rare's IPs:
- Rare developing Kameo 2, like the prototype, darker in setting, still high fantasy
- Rare also developing Banjo 3
- Perfect Dark: Recore being developed by a 3rd party FPS developer (hell, even 343 for the in between years)
- Insomniac developing a Conker sequel

Rare posted a video a year or so ago saying they had three teams, so it makes sense. After rare replay was finished up, they likely moved on to their next project, and then you have team three doing something
I feel like a new battletoads, and a new ip is possible

Yeah I know that, but I've noticed there being a bit of some animosity against 3D platformers that aren't Mario around here, especially against Crash. In a lot of the threads about him, there's always the typical "no one cares about Crash anymore!" and "his gameplay is completely outdated for today's market" or whatever.

I don't get it either.

I haven't seen the crash thread, but might be because its a remake and not crash 4. Or maybe they dont like design of crash in skylanders so worry that is what he will look like in the remakes.
Personally ive never been a big fan of crash, but ill get the remakes as I really only played then at my cousins house when I was a kid. I loved banjo and spyro though

Word.
I recently played Banjo for the first time on Rare Replay and it was fantastic.
So much variety in gameplay mechanics and so many creative ways to get the puzzle pieces.
I would kill for a game like that with todays graphics (and more precise analog control).
I'd take these kind of games over all these cinematic story driven blah blahs
It must be done
If this is too Nuts and Bolts for some people, then consider me a friggin' petrolhead

Mattrick era Rare consisted of Kinect Sports #1 and lucky us we were blessed with Kinect Sports #2, this went on since 2009-2014 so its cool if they've been allowed to work on several new projects along with SoT again
I guess they want to make the logo revival mean something again
not in my video games they aint!
I will say the Logo looks sleek as fuck.
My bet is that one team is working on the long rumored Battletoads for next fall (assuming its a downloadable game) while another is working on a new IP or another titles in a IP they worked on in the past.
With that Grant Kirkhope twitter hint (the one a Gaffer pointed out earlier in the thread), it might be a new Banjo or a new Viva Pinata (considering both IP were ones where he did a lot of composing work for) but he also did the soundtrack for Perfect Dark, it could be a game like that too.
Either way, next year looks solid for Microsoft so seeing two more Rare titles in addition to the promising Sea of Thieves being shown off next year is awesome

.I've noticed this too, so much so I pulled my Crash Retrospectives from NeoGaf and are posting them elsewhere. I guess Mario is the only 'good' platformer on NeoGaf apparently :l.

Banjo Threeie is happening?

Count me in on Perfect Dark being 3rd person. Would be really cool actually.
Of course its happening man
! Coming Early 2017 from Playtonic Games I know you mean a real Banjo 3 but this is likely the closest we are getting to that in everything but name.

Two new games in addition to Sea of Thieves? Holy shit. I do hope they don't rust SoT though. According to Angry Joe the game felt very early and there were no guns or any other weapons yet. Rare said the same, yet it's coming February 2017?
Really? Wow Sea of Thieves looked really polished to me, maybe its just a certain build of the game that let people play around with the ships for now so they can introduce the other mechanics later?

Give us the Banjo-Threeie that was promised 15 years ago, then they can focus 100% on new IPs for all I care.
People are suggesting Sea of Thieves, Banjo and Perfect Dark? That's not how a game studio of only 100-150 people works these days. Talent is hired around a certain genre expertise, there's no way in hell they're working on three completely different genres with completely different setting and tone.
I could see Banjo or Battletoads being one of the games (the latter is more likely), and the other one some kind of jolly, story-based new IP.
As for Perfect Dark, a Joanna Dark mod for the modern Deus Ex games would scratch ALL my itches for it. For realsies. Make the character model and speech edit every mention of Adam Jensen for Joanna Dark. DONE. Fuck Elvis.

Give me Kameo 2. Thank you.
I played the first game to DEATH! Seriously, my disc stopped working, I then got a new copy and played it even harder.

Battletoads and Fable IV.
I really hope they don't get Fable.

Imagine if they made a Battletoads game and it turned out to be good? After Killer Instinct anything is possible.
