Look... I'm not going to say that their output since 2008 have been great, but they are currently working on their first non-kinect game since N&B and TiP.
Sea of Thieves? Maybe you've heard of it. It's Gregg Mayles' dream game.

Well Conker wasn't a especially good or funny game back in the day but I doubt this is what Conker fans want.
Tech may be cool but everything else looks bad.
Tech may be cool but everything else looks bad.
I get what you're saying but I don't think that a presumed following on NeoGAF is enough to justify allocating millions of dollars for a new a Conker and I would also question the assumption that "posts on NeoGAF" = will buy game.

What's a Greg Mayles? No talent left at Rare. Shut the company down and put them out of their misery etc etc
Devs like to move on.
Bungie wanted to move on from Halo. Insomniac moved on after Spyro. Naughty Dog is moving on after Uncharted 4, just like they moved on after Crash and Jak & Daxter.
Rare didn't make this. A studio called Asobo Studio did.

At least I can rest knowing Conker's Bad Fur day can never be tarnished.
I will ignore this monster.

Fortunately, for the common gamer, this is just for devs, am I right? Haha hahahahaha
Also, RARE art

Except this isn't Rare.
Don't forget that there are no new talent in the industry either. Each and every dev who didn't work on a game in the 90s is terrible.

A better video of the potential of the game:

Some cool stuff but not convinced yet.

He did.
He gives them a second chance and they shit all over it.
He certainly won't be fooled again...
It feels like impressive tech, but it ultimately looks like a gimmick that'd get old after a while. It still just reminds me of the 3DS AR stuff, which aren't as good tech-wise, but pretty much give you the same experience. A bit like the Wii Remote compared to the PS Move and Kinect, in retrospect. Maybe I'm just being cynical, though
They should have used that as their platformer tech demo.
Are the pink alien folk part of a different project that's coming out or what because they're miles better than what we got with Conker.
You are entirely missing the point of why people are pissed off.

People love the idea of playing as a squirrel named Conker.
Stick to Nintendo if you want yearly rehashes of the same IP.
You mean by Nintendo, the one company that actually does "rehashes" correctly, as opposed to Ubisoft and their shitting out of the Assassins' Creed games and Acti with their Call of Duty games?

Obligatory Jontron Post. More or less my own reaction.

They should have used this pink alien instead of Conker.

Haha what the hell happened to Conker's face? Yikes that's an interesting design choice

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Hah, I thought as much. Someone must be getting very angry over there yelling "Why does this KEEP happening" after things like smartphones, tablets, and now VR. The Xbox One getting pantsed after they thought they had that market on lockdown really upped the fury stakes even further.
Hololens also seems like its gone through a bit of a computational downgrade as well. In the fake-o-demos of yesteryear shit was smooth as, but now we're seeing these demos chunk and stutter on really quite terrible graphics and stuff. Like with that pink alien demo, it runs very differently to the other ones causing you to wonder which demos are real and faked.
"We have to keep pretending this product is ready and real! WE JUST HAVE TO."
I don't feel my first post was emphatic enough, so I'll say it again: god fucking dammit Microsoft.
EDIT: Oh my god, I couldn't hear the audio when I was watching the video earlier. "Conker's a much beloved property that has a huge following... SO WE PUT HIM IN THIS!!" Are they really this dense?
Have we forgotten that Yooka-Laylee made almost 3 million dollars solely through crowdfunding? There's a market out there.

That ain't Conker, MS just wasting the rare properties they bought..
1 game per console=yearly rehashes
Before you say Mario Party by the way, i implore you to actually play the entire franchise because each game believe it or not introduced new gimmicks.

Who's pretending? MS have been very honest about the fact this thing is years away from consumer release.

Nah, it's really weird to be a Rare fan.
It's like we're dealt good hands and bad hands at a 50/50 balance.
Recently we've had Rare being freed from Kinect and Gregg Mayles leading Rare to create a Pirate Adventure Game, Rare Replay was released with a gold mine of Rare content and Rash was in Killer Instinct.
That's the recent good.
Then we balance it out with Banjo Kinect and this fucking bullshit god damn I'm so pissy holy shit.

What the fresh hell is this.
Would that same scale of a game be "good enough" for Conker fans? Honest question. I don't really know what they want.
Absolutely.
