To be fair Nintendo was probably what made Rare able to make such great games back then. Microsoft should take more risks with their first parties and create new franchises (like sony has) Stuff like Sunset Overdrive, Alan Wake and Quantum Break add some good diversity to what sells the Xbox anyway. I would like to see more new gaming franchises from Microsoft and i'm sure they could do it |
Well MS did take risks with Rare, they created several new IPs. Unfortunately, none were really noteworthy outside of Kinect Sports.
I actually think the games Rare made for MS were more tolerable than N64 work, but the Xbox audience had little interest in those games. Rare didn't/doesn't know how to make games Xbox fans enjoy. Atleast that's my view.
Sony makes new IPs, but they aren't really taking big risks. I mean TLoU wasn't a risk, zombie games sell well. Driveclub isn't a risk either.
I don't get why people are so interested in new IPs. MS doesn't need to make new IPs to make great new games. Hence, they can make something that feels new and great with an already established IP. Just like what Square Enix did with Tomb Raider.
