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

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. Period. 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. 


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

Donkey Kong Country (2003)
Banjo Kazooie Grunty's Revenge (2003)
Grabbed by the Ghoulies (2003)
Sabre Wulf (2004)
Donkey Kong Country 2 (2004)
Banjo Pilot (2005)
It's Mr Pants (2005)
Conker Live & Reloaded (2005)
Donkey Kong Country 3 (2005)
Kameo (2005)
Perfect Dark Zero (2005)
Viva Pinata (2006)
Diddy Kong Racing DS (2006)
JetPac refuled (2007)
Viva Pinata Trouble in Paradise (2008)
Viva Pinata Pocket Paradise (2008)
Banjo Nuts & Bolts (2008)
Kinect Sports (2010)

Exactly. I've said the last five years they've only made Kinect games. Since 2008 they've only made Kinect Sports. And Kinect Sports 2. And half of those games were either not Microsoft Exclusives or remakes of Rare when they actually made great games. Not good support of your side of the argument at all, bro. You're making my point.

Rare is a First Part Developer.  Microsoft allows them to make games for Nintendo Handhelds.  Microsoft has owned Rare since 2002.  

Rare has only made 1 kinect game which was in 2010.  They made a little DLC afterwards but only one full Kinect game which probably took less than one year to make.  So in the last 5 years they have made 3 games without Kinect and 1 with Kinect.  You can do the math.

Kinect Sports Season 2 is developed by BigPark not Rare.

I'd more more worried for MS if they decided to let Rare have a budget to do anything OTHER THAN kinect games.

They've been slaving away at new avatar costumes for 3 years :)


lol, but seriously this is what I've been saying. They're definitely gonna have 2 titles released in launch window. One traditional/ one kinect based.

I still think rare are very talented.

Both kameo and perfect dark zero were rushed affairs. Viva pinata received great reviews and Banjo Nuts and Bolt was a too ambitious and not true to the series.

I very excited to see what they've been up to these past years.
