I'd expect Crackdown to be unveiled at Gamescom. It's the only teased game that wasn't confirmed (yet).
Crytek UK are working on Homefront 2.

Crytek UK are working on Homefront 2.
Hahaha. Inadvertently hilarious statements aside, if a next-gen Rare game does this, I will give you all the bananas in Kong's Hoard.
Wait.
Oh.

Can we stop holding Rare on this old, dented, rusted pedestal?
The Rare that made those games is long gone and any other AAA studio in the world would have the same shot at making a successful sequel from any of their previous titles.

Sigh. I bought all of those games, including Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise. Know when that came out? Almost 7 years ago. As leads Rare has shipped 1 Kinect game since then. This rose-colored version of Rare that people elevate in their minds does not exist and hasn't for quite some time.

Oh yeah! Good call! Forgot about that picture with all the E3 madness.

It makes me sad that MS doesn't give Rare the opportunity to shine on E3.
During watching Plants vs zombies garden warfare game play, I said wtf I saw some kameo elements in there ( like the plant character)

Yeah, I was pretty upset that the one Rare game announced was announced during a pre-show. It sounded like a lot of people completely missed it.

So now Viva Piñata
TiP), B-K: N&B, Kameo, or even Kinect Sports are bad games? Apart from Perfect Dark Zero, and even that had great multiplayer at the time, none of their 360 games have been bad. Some of those are excellent. They were only doomed to fail because the audience wasn't there. Most people complaining about Rare's output this generation have not even bothered to give those games a chance. Some of them are up there with some of their best games from the N64 era. People should leave nostalgia aside when talking about Rare.Having said that, I expect far more from Rare than keep on working on KS ad nauseam. We know there's at least another team that should be working on a next-gen core title. I would be happy man if that was either a new Viva Piñata, a new Banjo (either a classic platformer or a N&B sequels would do) or a new Kameo.
I also think it makes sense for MS to outsource classic Rare IP; after all they'd already been doing that with 4J Studios and their XBLA re-releases this gen. I only hope they make the right decisions when it comes to choosing suitable developers for each franchise.

Other, more competent studios are handling their IPs now.
There are vehicles in Crackdown ... But realistically? No.
The Rare game ended up being Kinect Sports Rivals.

Someone said that's Kinect Sports Rivals. Doesn't look like it to me though.

I am pretty sure that is an avatar from the wake racing activity in Kinect Sports Rivals. The backdrop looks like the track from the trailer.

They're at least making two games.

They're all wearing short sleeved wet-suits and gloves in the trailer, not in that pic.

Look at the island from the trailer though. They look identical. Color scheme wise especially.

I had no idea there were Rare fans who were still deluding themselves like this.

I'm not talking about Killer Instinct obviously...

They're working on the new Kinect Sports game and occasionally making suggestions on builds given to them from Double Helix's "Killer Instinct" reboot.

Hope they make another Banjo game. Either a third platformer or a sequel to Nuts & Bolts (which is fantastic and beautiful).
I wish I had picked up a 360 closer to launch and purchased their games. They still put out games with interesting ideas and new takes on gameplay.
I think there is still quality at Rare. It is a shame their work sold so poorly.

Yeah, serious. If anyone reads the fact sheet they put out I think they would be impressed. It sounds really coolI actually think their new kinect sports looks kind of interesting. Just sadly it's on xbone
