Forums - Microsoft - RARE announces new Kinect Sports Add-on

Considering the practical application of this (getting into summer weather shape with a fun game), what's so bad about it?

Besides hating Kinect, Nintendo-less Rare, Microsoft and anything that challenges a sedentary lifestyle ...


I really don't think you have to have $ony tatooed on your thigh or hate exercise to be dissapointed that Rare's latest announcement is a reskinning of a game that's already out to make it look like it was sponsored by veggie tales.  

Can you honestly tell me you are perfectly happy that this is what Rare has been up to?

OMG This is definitely going to be a classic!!! Microsoft hit the jackpot! Who cares about Perfect Dark and Killer Instinct! Carrots, apples and bannanas FTW!!! Dude I've been waiting my whole life to outrun a celery stick!!



If this is a new game mode you specifically have to select i think it will be a neat add on people who like casual games.  I don't know how many would buy it though.  If the calorie system gets integrated into the whole game that would be rather awesome.  I don't know much about rare to hate or love what they are doing now.  I know they made a couple of banjo kazooie (sp?) that I thought were rather awfult.  So to me it seems they are improving.



I love the direction Rare has taken this gen.

Do all opinions have to be happy-happy-Xbox around here?

No, but perpetual and habitual negativity (no matter what its aimed at) is tiring, non-constructive and usually a sign of a personality flaw.  

And no, that wasn't personally aimed at you, so please let's not even flirt with that notion.



I think we can all agree Rare makes mediocre games now, right?

I saw the pic when first clicking and said in my mind "what the --?"  Then I read and remembered that this isn't actually an exercise game.  To me, this kind of stuff is needed in the gaming industry because Rare (and many others) contributed greatly to the sedentary lifestyle of many a gamers (lol), so it's nice to see them try to help us lose some while still having fun.  I sure could use it.

To be honest, I didn't play a ton of Rare games in the late 80's and 90's.  Kameo was a pretty good game, Perfect Dark Zero was ... ok, Viva Piñata was fun to a point and BK:N&B was some of the most fun I've had with a game this century.  I'm not going to pass judgment on Rare for Kinect Sports and ESPECIALLY not for this DLC pack that probably 2 people worked on.  I'm convinced they will have something to show at E3 since they haven't had much output in recent years.

But, if you noticed, I didn't put Rare on a huge pedastal nor did I run a lawnmower of them.  I was fair.  That's all I ask of people, be fair.  If you can't, go find threads and subjects that you can be fair with.  I used to be a huge Sega fan, but since that Sega seems to be long gone, I just avoid Sega discussions and games (though the new Sonic really DOES look great).  I just don't see how it benefits me or anyone else to actively seek out things to complain about or rip on.



Wow... Rare is really dead... it's a shame.



This is some strange dlc. I liked the first dlc for the game sicne it added a handful of fun mini-games but the costumes I never even used.

Xbox 360 wants to KinectPS3 wants to Move!  Why are both systems having such relationship problems?  The reason is they both become so infactuated with desire while watching the Wii as it waggles on by. They simply want what they can't have.
