They may have helped with FM3. Best looking racer you can buy right now.

But I think ME2 was probably all Bioware. MAybe some input as to tech issues or something. ME2's presentation is 2nd to none on consoles.

So, basically they made a long overdue decision, good for them.

But that article is a bit ridiculous, so... the last 1st party game that looked good was Gears 2, and for them it looks worse than Gears 1? What?? Did I understand what they said correctly? Forza 3 has great graphics, and nevermind the fact Gears 2 has some of the best graphics this gen across all platforms.

@Jagged: don't forget that Rare also does a lot of R&D and art for both Live and Natal. Rare has created visuals for NXE and created the Avatars. Alot of people have mentioned their game output has been lower than expected, but they have done a lot of behind the scenes stuff.

Interesting, but I want to see some details...we are well into year 5 of the 360...shouldn't have this been done in year 3, after they saw that the 360 would project to 50 million LTD?
