| nintendo_fanboy said: I think Rare was a real "second party" company as long as they worked together with Nintendo, because Nintendo did not own them (just 49 % of them) but they produced exclusive content for Nintendo consoles. A second party studio I can think of at the moment is Camelot, as far as I know Nintendo does not own them but they are only producing for Nintendo (and for PC I think, but that doesn't count) and they are doing this already for a couple of years.
But now at topic: Does anyone know about Free Radical? I see that they are not on the list and I think they are not part of a bigger publisher, so it means they are not developping for the wii? This would be sad, I somehow see the new Rare in them, some former members of Rare are working for them and they made great stuff, for example the Time Splitters Series. |
Timesplitters and Second Sight were both very good games and I think they're under rated as a developer ... The unfortunate thing is I don't think anyone knows what they're working on at the moment.
