I know. They seem like a platformer focused team, naturally Banjo and Kameo would be in good hands if ever handed down to them by MS.

THey'll have to expand before tha happens i believe.  At least 60 people would be my guess.  Good news is they do mention they're expanding

What was the size of DH before MS came along? They could do something similar, put a small core rare team working with PP.



 

so titanfall may have sold almost double that of infamous when you compare the debuts

Not sure, i think it is somewhere between 50-90.  Im not sure how many Rare members were working on it either. Im pretty sure it is mentioned somewhere but idk off the top of my head.

PAX East? Isn't that in like a few weeks? Cool



Great interview.



Ok I would thank you guys for the positive reaction for my interview. I delivered upon my promise now I hope you deliver upon yours.
you guys including want a Banjo from Press Play but Rune during the interview clearly said they love and would work on properties and games they have created and they like to ship titles for xbox live and not for 60$ they can or will make an AAA title in future but currently focus on different projects in Development. If Ms was to release a Banjo I am sure they are going to release it as a retail title and have a bigger budget and advertising. So I don't see Press Play work on Banjo but we don't know anything could have in future maybe they work on Banjo or Microsoft buys Donkey Kong and press paly works on it. xD

Combining that news with VGCHARTZ UK totall numbers it predicts about 125k opening week for Titanfall and roughly a 75k debut for Infamous. Really impressive for TF.
