Rare logo for reference:

And the picture:

Much better quality below:

Taken from around the 10:30 minute mark of the reveal today:

Thanks to airborn and CrunchinJelly for pointing out the Crackdown orb on the far left of the same screen!

And as TheOddOne and a few others pointed out, perhaps the images above it are related?

 

[Sobriquet]

OMG Crackdown orb!

 

[Byronic Hero]

Looks like another Kinect game to me. So it very well could be Rare. Sadly enough.

 

[Xav]

A conference so bad that people have to use MS paint to highlight where the games were.

It is definitely a Rare asset, based on the logo in the upper right corner... not sure how that equates to a Kinect game though... or how being kinect specific makes it Rare...

(unless that icon is something completely different fromt he Rare R)

 

[Bread]

Based off of what?

Not that I'm denying the fact that Rare is most likely being wasted on Kinect, just found it weird you assumed that from this picture.

This.

Lmao, so true.

 

[Spongebob]

How do we know it's a RARE game?

[CrunchinJelly]

I spotted it in the Crackdown thread.

Three hours later and these kind of replies are already getting tedious.

 

[lefantome]

I hope it's Crackdown.


What about that kind of forest tech demo they had running in the background?

 

[Desty]

A conference so bad that people have to use MS paint to highlight where the games were.

Lol, too funny

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Microsoft made it clear this conference would introduce the hardware and the wider ecosystem.

It is already annoying to ready so many people making the 'no games' jokes.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

How do we know it's a RARE game?


lol, so true.

The white circle in the right corner appears to be the newly branded Rare logo. Look for the R in the middle of the circle.

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

Yeah, that guy fist pumping in front of the vague and blurry rock formations looks like pretty much every Kinect game I've ever played. Good eye.

 

[Dennis]

Amazing how that pic pretty much sums up Microsofts entire conference.

 

[TheOddOne]

I wonder if they pictures above it are from the same game. Seem to fit the style?

 

[Plywood]

Too Human 2 a F2P MMORPG

 

[derFeef]

I wonder if they pictures above it are from the same game. Seem to fit the style?

my thoughts as well.

Hmm...yeah. For me especially the one above it with the building.

 

[Karak]

A conference so bad that people have to use MS paint to highlight where the games were.

Agreed.

 

[NotLiquid]

Banjo I know you're hiding somewhere in those low res trees in the background

It's not a Banjo game, is it

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Haha, no it doesn't look like it.

And it also does not look like a water racer.

 

[bPod]

Came into this thread hoping for Killer Instinct and leaving disappointed

E3 baby! Fingers crossed, haha!

 

[Always-honest]

Haha, no it doesn't look like it.

Looks like Shreck

 

[Jarmel]

Another Greek/Roman styled fantasy game?

Where the fuck is my Banjo?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

So this gives more proof to that rumor about Rare making a game set on an island.
Looks medieval to me... which disproves the other rumor of a samurai style game.

Pic above it looks like Lionhead.

The pic above that could be a new IP, gritty style so maybe Black Tusk.

Third from the left... Big Park?

Also, yay Crackdown 3!

Kinect Fantasy Featuring Chubster the Knight

 

[Gordon0Freeman]

I call Ryse on that middle pic

Logo

And based on the fact that it looks like it is geared toward a younger audience. And since most games with that type of art style have been for Kinect (Wreckateer, Kinect Adventure, ect.) it seemed likely that this would follow suit.

God I wish it was Banjo. Rare even has him on the main page of their site in his N64 non-blocky form, TWICE. It's like they are taunting me.

 

[derFeef]

Do you guys think the small graphic demo we saw with the ligh ball was from the rare game?

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

A conference so bad that people have to use MS paint to highlight where the games were.

The conference wasn't about games. You can't even be mad about the lack of games considering Microsoft themselves said from the get go "It's about the hardware not the games".


Anyways, looks... promising... didn't notice it, was too busy screaming over Forza Motorsports 5 being in the tray So... Rare's game isn't Banjo-Threeie... or Conker... or Viva Pinata... or Killer Instinct... but a new IP. Okay... I'll bite if it's good.

 

[Marleyman]

You are wasting your time.

Spoiler

I completely agree w/ you

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Sure it does.

Anyway, new Crackdown y'all. At least that's something to look forward to.

Now where's PGR5, eh? EH? WHERE THE FUCK IS IT? PROMISES WERE MADE.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Do you guys think the small graphic demo we saw with the ligh ball was from the rare game?

It's funny that you mentioned that because I was thinking that it could be. I was getting a Kameo/adventure game feel to it.

 

[dragonflys545]

Looks like a Kinect game. The guy has his hand up waving at the player or something.

He can't just be emotional? He looks very upset. Haha!

Are you unfamiliar with Rare's art style? Cartoony is what they do. Conker's Bad Fur Day looked like it was geared toward a younger audience. It wasn't.

Seems to me like Microsoft are moving Kinect away from gaming and more into the functionality zone too, but we'll see.

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

My take on this whole "quest for games."

 

[statham]

OMG crackdown?! Come on E3

 

[Anth0ny]

no banjo no buy

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

My take on this whole "quest for games."

Ahh, very nice! Yeah, the Ryse, Black Tusk and "family island game" are pretty good guesses on the ambiguous frames.

 

[Hindle]

Spiritual sequel to Banjo from the looks of the graphics?

 

[Doug Heffernan]

My take on this whole "quest for games."

Seems legit but I would change the "rumored family game" to Lionhead IP.

I know that's Rare's style, but I'm just going by what they have released in the past couple of years.

It's possible that they are making non-Kinect games, but the way the character is facing the camera and gesturing towards the player makes me think it's something like the last Fable game.

 

[Lakitu]

We all have clamoured for new IPs from Microsoft for so long now. But what if they're all shit?

 

[PsihoPerihelion]

Ahh, very nice! Yeah, the Ryse, Black Tusk and "family island game" are pretty good guesses on the ambiguous frames.

In case you want to know why I concluded those:

Family game: Floating Island setting (rumors said the game was based on some sort of island)
Ryse: Greek architecture-like buildings
Black Tusk: This one is really just pure speculation, but it could be a guy standing in some sort of space void (I can't explain it very well) All rumors said that BT is working on a space shooter.
