well rare was great but once microsoft brought them half the employee's left cause they considered microsoft as the devil and they made a great company known as free radical so i can safe to say the people who left rare were the good one's while the ones stayed are just useless trolls


You mean when Nintendo sold them to Microsoft? It's not like it was a hostile takeover. Also Free Radical hasn't been making a bunch of groundbreaking games either.


The top Rare Nintendo titles were also made by people who work for Retro Studios.

Ok, at first I grimaced but reading it, it makes some sense. They're clearing trying to widden the appeal and cut into the fitness game market, with the idea of calorie burning modes. Doubt it will have the same kind of market impact though.

didn't free radical shut down cause of lack of funding since haze completely bombed and now they work for crytek and made crysis 2?

We've been saying Rare and E3 for three years now. The only things that have come out of them are Kinect games.

I don't know what you've been saying for three years now, but last year I've seen Kinect Sports @E3. And it was released in 2010. My most favorite Rare game. Followed by Kameo and Viva Piñata.

Again: The question was, if anyone is perfectly happy that this is what Rare has been up to? Yes. There is someone. Me. :)

I know how much microsoft paid for rare but i have always wondered why did nintendo sell rare to microsoft

Also, Free Radical was formed BEFORE Microsoft aquired Rare.  I was going to to respond to SonyFanboy266, but I cannot find his original post.  Banned maybe?

What most people have been wondering for three years now is what how new IP Microsoft would get out of Rare. Apparently it is still nothing. If you like Kinect, then awesome. Rare hasn't had a AAA title since Nintendo.
