Same, Can't wait, I guess it will kinda be like (If the story is good) when you watch a TV episode and it ends on a cliffhanger so you can't wait till next week for the next episode, With Quantum Break you will watch the episode then can't wait to get through the next level to unlock the next episode :P


Yeah! So I'm guessing QB has a companion app to watch them on, and the TV show in-game.

The Rare Rumors Continue

Microsoft Studios' Boss: New Rare Platformer 'Would be Great'

Microsoft executive could be hinting at unannounced Rare title.

by Stephen Daly on 17th Dec, 2013

While more recently acquainted with Kinect development it "would be great" if Banjo-Kazooie creator Rare were to make another platformer according to Microsoft Games Studios' president Phil Spencer. 

Asked about the prospect of a 3D platformer from Rare on Twitter Spencer pointed to PressPlay Games' upcoming Xbox One title Max but added that "A new Rare plat would also be great".

Spencer's comments far from confirm that a new game in the platforming genre is on it's way from Rare but the studio's Simon Woodroffe alluded to the prospect in August.Speaking to CVG he said: 

"We've got ideas for most older Rare IP, you won't be surprised to hear. There's quite a lot of desire to do that, and Viva Pinata, Conker... Banjo's very popular internally, a lot of people want to do stuff with Banjo,"

Recently Rare IP Killer Instinct was rebooted as an Xbox One launch title but development was handled by Double Helix. Rare's next game is Kinect Sports Rivals which is set for launch in early 2014.

That quote is from august but the comment  about Phil Spencer saying it would be good to see Rare doing a platformer is from yesterday xD  It just makes Conker or Banjo seem even more possible.  Also considering they hired people for the Adventure genre which fits both Conker and Banjo.  Or it could just be a new ip.  Either way would be cool to see them in the platforming genre again.

Oh I didn't see that, thanks! He better not just be teasing, he knows how much fans want it. I hate that they use Banjo Nuts & Bolts as a measure for how well a platformer could do on Xbox :( it wasn't what we asked for! (even if some think it's great).

*sigh*
