Isnt Retro supposed to be Nintendo's new RARE?

To be fair, the only RARE game Ive really liked is Goldeneye 007


Retro has been a part of Nintendo longer than Nintendo owned a stake in Rare. So not new anymore. To those asking if Retro is former Rare members. No. Retro was formed from former Iguana games members who made Turok on N64. These days many of those guys have since split and a good few are at 343. Retro is now made of various people and some from ID software,Naughty DOg and Vigil.

 

To OP Development costs have skyrocketed since those days. Back then it was common for 1-10 man teams to make a game. 1 man made breath of fire on SNES. 10 guys made Goldeneye on N64. These days devs teams need larger teams and more resources.
