There Was A 'Severe Culture Clash' Between Microsoft And Rare

[IIIIITHE1IIIII]

Not really news. We just got yet another person to confirm what is already known.


I'd say that Rare's about 40% to blame for their new direction and Microsoft about 60%. Several projects were cancelled and games were either rushed or restructured to suit Microsoft's vision. But at the same time, you can't deny that Rare's the one who created the actual games and wasted their opportunity to impress us. If they did a better job, Microsoft would surely have given them more freedom.

Oh well, what can you do.
