Rare hiring for "multiple AAA future console releases"Would prefer action/adventure or FPS experience.

Sounds like Rare is finally back on track! Ever since they joined MS they've done crap games,

Again?! This is just not true.

Kameo was a really great game! Probably one of the most underrated this gen.
Banjo and Perfect Dark remakes were well executed.
Kinect Sports  and Kinect Sports 2 are good games.
Banjo Kazooie Nuts n Bolts is a good game as well.
Viva Pinata is not that bad either.

However, Perfect Dark Zero and Grabbed by the Ghoulies were disappointing, but that is not enough to say that they only released crap games.

When you check metacritic you will see that their games are in the same region like InFamous, Infamous2, Warhawk, Starhawk and Twisted Metal and people praise these titles. They just seem to have a different target audience and the internet-core-gamer feels left out so he starts talking nonsense. And saleswise the Kinect Sports franchise alone is outperforming all of these games combined.

Remakes don't count... That's like giving credit to Grezzo for making Zelda: OoT. The gameplay and design were all laid out - all they do is hotting up the graphics.

And yes, Kinect sports are good and fun games - but I remember the days of the 90's when Rare used to release awesome games, games people still play today.

Have a look at this list: Donkey Kong Country, Battletoads, Golden eye 007, Conker, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Wizard and Warriors - and that's just a few of em...

Now have a look at this: Viva Piñata and Kinect Sports... that's almost all their new IP's the last 7 years... Conker and Banjo all dates back to the Nintendo days, so don't credit MS with those...

It's painfully obvious that Rare ain't the same anymore! But I hope they find their stride again!!
