Obviously these links mean nothing.

Even if Rare were making a new KI (I actually believe they are) or anything else that people actually want the chances of it being any good are basically non-existant.

All of the people at Rare who made all those games we love don't work there anymore.

 

[IcyRhythms]

Could mean something

Likely means nothing

 

[vatstep]

I'm endlessly amused by the fact that people would actually want a new KI. I loved the original back in the day, but I just feel like a new one would suck.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Nintendo strip RARE of a lot of their talent before MS bought them?

I think they lost the majority of their talent in the early years after the purchase. After they realized that they needed to get out.

Made by Rare, yes. That's not to say MS couldn't give the franchise to someone else and just stick the Rare logo on it.

Didn't the Xbox One drop avatars? I wonder what MS will have Rare work on now?

If I heard the KI theme at the conf I would completely lose my shit.

Not only is that still a myth (people were saying this during the Nuts & Bolts days when the Banjo team was 95% the same), but also...

...when will people realize the entire pool of UK game talent is not limited to people who worked at Rare fifteen years ago?

Point appreciated. (Full disclosure: I really liked Nuts & Bolts).

How about Banjo in Killer Instinct

 

[Skab]

Guys, while going through old driver cds, I just found my Killer Cuts cd and case.

It's a sign.

Hah, welcome to the five-person club including myself.

 

[Brofield]

It took me ages to hunt down Battletoads: Double Dragon, and even then I got it on Sega Genesis.

I'd love to see a 2.5D remake with a re-recorded soundtrack filled with synth and electric guitar shredding and the funkiest basslines in gaming music history, and using those same scanline techniques that Ubisoft got in FC: Blood Dragon.

But more than anything I want it to come to all consoles. Especially Wii U.

 

[Azure J]

Oh sure Rare, bring up Banjo-Kazooie in the dawn of the one MS console I'm vehemently opposed to. =/

Edit: Just read that tweet up there... Welp, back to status quo.

 

[dark_prinny]

Better with Kinect?

 

[kenjisalk]

I think Banjo and Battletoads are a smokescreen and we're bound to hear the announcement for the new Killer Instinct in a few days.

If we DO see the other two properties at E3, my money is on an xbla Battletoads (probably a remake) and a Kinect minigame collection with Banjo characters.

 

[NIGHT-]

Don't know what people are saying about the talent leaving, viva piñata, kameo and banjo nuts and bolts were all amazing games


Edit-
I still think RARE will have a big showing at e3, too bad I don't have a interest in xb1. Wish ms would of let them focus on real games on the 2nd half of the 360s life

 

[tait269]

They need to give Conker another chance.

 

[Pyramid head]

Combo breakers will be performed by shouting "C-C-C_C-COMBO BREAKER!" at the screen.

 

[Marion Cobretti]

Killer Instinct is indeed in development. It is going to be free to play, and only has 4 characters to choose from.

; )

 

[Silent_Bomber]

Why did Nintendo give up Rare in the first place?

Nintendo didn't own Rare, they had like 49% share of the company or something, the owners were dead set on selling the company, Nintendo didn't want to completely buy it, Rare went elsewhere.

 

[Folstern]

Battletoads Kinect, anyone?

 

[Syphon Filter]

Wonder if banjo is happening despite what that twitter said.

Based on what Killer Instinct is turning out to be, I certainly hope not.

What is KI turning out to be? Sorry, haven't kept pace with all the latest goings-on.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Rare is not making KI.

 

[Verendus]

What is KI turning out to be?

Shit.

 

[Shiggy]

Rare reserved pages for all titles they made, doesn't mean anything. Someone please kill this topic.

 

[Dai101]

Shit.

Says you.

 

[Data West]

I would love a Battletoads game in the style of Contra 4.

 

[Officerrob]

Shit.

Maxamillian, GAF member and renowned fighting game fan seems to love it (and he's played quite a bit of it)
