The ultimate fall of Rare

A lot of the posts as well as OP are talking how Rare has become a failure and a shadow of its former self. I'm just saying that as long as people have jobs, and games are made which are successful, RARE isn't a failure.

Times have changed. The only reason why Rare stood out from the crowd back then is because they invested in to some really high end technology (Silicon Graphics workstation) and they had somewhat talented developers. Times have changed as no one really has this kind of a technical advantage these days.

They also serve a different role at microsoft than they did at nitnendo. If you think about it, Rare are still doing what they used to, the best it can be done in todays day and age.

true in the sense you are talking and i agree as they are making games they are not a failure

but you know the OP isn't talking about it in business sense,its not whether the company is making games and profiting.

you can always go and leave that sort of comment but whats the use when the discussion isn't about it,its not helping or contributing to the main point of the debate.

 

we are talking in in the artistic sense.

 

yeah times have changed but it isn't just like that some of the bet developers just start sucking at their work one day.

 

i agree MS's use of them has alot to do with it.

 

my main reasons are many employees leaving and MS not using them properly
