| Roma said: Hmm well how come they did an amazing job with Metroid or are fans pissed of at Nintendo as well? Team Ninja did not succeed as well as Retro did (not saying Other M is bad I love it but the other games are better) I don’t think the new rare would make games as good as the old rare used to do. There must be a reason why Nintendo sold them. Something was going on in rare and it was time to let them go. Golden Eye did revolutionize FPS games but it was at a time where it was new on consoles so it was possible for them to bring in something new. So do you think the rare we have today could make a better DKC game than DKCR?
DKCR is an awesome game I just put a 5 there to piss off Bouli :P |
I honestly don't know if Rare could do a better game then DKCR, though it appears what Rare wanted to do was take it in another direction (dk64) I prefer that way, others prefer the other but what I find amusing is that people in this thread want to believe that Rare is past its prime without bringing in all factors. Rare is less of a games company now and more of an administration/programming company.
Do they still make games? yes.
Is that why MS bought them? Not by the looks of it
The whole point Nintendo might have sold them becasue MS brought out a blank cheque to Nintendo as well and Nintendo was going in another direction anyway. There are not a lot of games like DK64 and Banjo Kazooie that doesnt have a Mario in it on the Wii. That is fine what they are doing sells. But maybe just maybe Rare wanted to do other things and MS let them.
