Exclusive: Interview with Tim and Chris Stamper. RARE founders ( August 22, 2012)

"After years of silence after they had left Rare, we have obtained an exclusive interview with the founders of Rare. In it, we talk about their personal lives, time at Nintendo and how Microsoft destroyed Rare."

Chris: Yes, we had been working on the Kinect technology for a while and we honestly weren’t feeling it.

Tim: We had felt that it would be great as a gimmick but never for long-term gaming. And now you see Rare and, well, you get the picture.

Everyone needs to play Lost Odyssey! Any opposition to this and I will have to just say, "If it's a fight you want, you got it!"

Rare has such a great stable of IPs that aren't being used. Banjo, Perfect Dark (has potential still), Battletoads, Killer Instinct.... hell I even think Kameo was a decent game. Really hope they start making more games in these series.

Is it bad though, that I some what hope Microsoft farms out some Rare owned IPs to non-Rare studios?
