Forums - Microsoft - Rare has only made one Kinect game

Ok so I'm a little tired of hearing the myth that Rare is a kinect studio now.  We know for a fact that they are making 3 games right now and one of them is a AAA game that is original.    Yes it may be using kinect.  And yes it may also be using a controller but it's getting tiring hearing about how they are a kinect only studio because that is simply not true.  

They did make Kinect Sports (DLC) and Avatars

They DID NOT make Kinect Sports: Season 2.  It was developed by BigPark Studios which sole purpose is for Kinect titles

Now let's be honest for a moment.  How long do you think it took Rare ( A  huge studio)  To develope Kinect Sports (Released in 2010) ?  I doubt it even took them a year.  Rare has been absent for 3 years, now do you think a little kinect game would take 3 years to make?  Think people

Well, Microsoft has owned them for nearly a decade and they've only made a Kinect title the last five years.

It's not rocket science where people are getting this idea from. Until they ACTUALLY MAKE a AAA Core game then the fact remains they are not making great games like they used to anymore (Donkey Kong, KILLER INSTINCT anybody?!?). And that's a fact.

Anyone who can't see that Rare being bought by Microsoft has stifled their creative integrity is blind or lying to themselves. 



What were the last 5 games Rare has made?

Edit - Also, Wikipedia says Rare co developed Kinect Sports Season Two. 



Kinect Sports: Season 2 was co-developed by Rare and BigPark if memory serves.

I am not saying that they are as good as they was in the late 90's.  Also since bought by MSFT.  Not only have they developed a lot of titles but MSFT has allowed them freedom by developing multiple titles for Nintendo DS and GBA.  It isn't microsoft's fault that the games that Rare has made hasnt turned out good.  It is rare's fault for not developing better games

Look up BigPark Studios.  I believe some credit went to Rare but they did not develope it
