I have to actually see and play any potential new or resurrected IP from Rare, especially in the FPS genre, before I even start becoming interested in it, let alone excited about it. The FPS genre has come a long way since Rare's heyday in the late 90's. So much has changed, and I'm not sure a revival of the GE / PD formula would be successful going up against the likes of COD, Gears, Halo, etc. if that's indeed the direction they go. Hell, Timesplitters perfected the GE/PD formula, so Rare would have to first outdo their own ex employees before they even start making a splash again in the genre.
A true Banjo 3 would be most welcome, but since we will never get a tried and true sequel as some of the key members of that team left Rare too and are also rumored to be working on their own spiritual successor to Banjo, I don't think I could get that excited about it either.
KI3... this should have been a no-brainer with the recent revival of the classic 2D fighters especially SF and MK, but again, I'm just not sure Rare can deliver on this front either. KI Gold which launched with the N64 was the last fighting game they did.
Nope, it's gonna have to be something completely new and not Kinect related for me to get even remotely excited about Rare's next project.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
