If PD I don't really care, banjo is not something I'd look forward to either.

Now, conker and kameo would be great. Even battletoads sounds fun.

Perfect Dark on N64 was one of my favourite games of  that whole generation, on 360 it was just mehh so no idea what to think about Perfect Dark, I love it and find it boring at the same time^^

Ok guys, that was one heck of a lengthy discussion about Japanese games while I was asleep, lol. I'm only going to post on this once, because I don't want to get another giant debate/fight started, so don't bother responding to me. I feel I need to say this: 

Try to look at things from Tiago's point of view. Much like me, he can only afford 1 platform for the time being. Much like me, 360 met most of his gaming needs last gen, largely thinks to Peter Moore's efforts with Japanese developers. Much like me, he decided to get Xbox One this gen based on a promise that Phil Spencer made in a December 2013 interview about plenty of Japanese support for Xbox One. Much like me, he's grown tired of watching Phil backtrack on that promise and even make light of it with jokes. Tiago is basically a man without a home right now, he can only afford a single platform, but right now no single platform meets most of his gaming needs. He likes none of Sony's 1st and 2nd party games, but he likes the 3rd party support they get from Japan. He likes only a few of Microsoft's 1st and 2nd party games, but is disappointed by the lack of 3rd party Japanese support. As far as I know he doesn't like Nintendo much at all, because much like me he was a Sega fan when he was younger and never fell in love with Nintendo's franchises, which Nintendo now continually recycles instead of creating new IP's. So I'm sure you can understand his frustration, there's no single platform he can own this gen that has enough games he likes to even make it worthwhile to own, and he can't afford more than 1 platform.

I'm in largely the same situation as Tiago, when I was making the final decision between Xbox One, PS4, and upgrading my PC, it was Phil's promise of Japanese support that sealed the deal and convinced me to buy an Xbox One. Since then Phil's backtracking and joking about that promise has kind of irked me. Fortunately I like more of Microsoft's 1st and 2nd party franchises than Tiago does, and I also like alot more western 3rd party franchises than he does, so I can survive with just Xbox One, even if it is far from ideal. I can sympathize with his plight though. Being in the situation he and I are in really makes you envious of those who can afford to be multiplat gamers. 


Yeah sure I think everyone here gets the frustration of you guys and ofcourse you can say those things. IMO it's not what is said that irks some people but the constant repeat of it. We have gotten these debates almost daily the last month, that becomes really tiresome and results in less debate on other stuff



I reached Killer Rank on Killer Instinct. Moving on up

Kamp commenting about a rumour that came up today - Reddit rumor: Insomniac almost worked on Conker reboot, Banjo + PD reboot in 2016/17

This is the last comment I will make in a Rare thread prior to E3:


1) if there ever was a chance old-school Rare fans will be satisfied with current Rare-work, this time is this year.
2) that rumor has two legit and one wrong points, which leads me to the impression he just guessed. I don't know for sure tho. Things can change pretty fast in this industry so I can't make a final comment on this one. 
3) Classic Rare IPs will return. Yes, more than just Killer Instinct. 
4) If you guys aren't somewhat satisfied after E3 .... Kill me with fire.

So

Banjo - Confirmed by Kamp

Either Conker is in the process of looking for a developer or Perfect Dark is being worked on

Banjo + Conker most likely.

I'd love a new PD, but you're right. They have Halo, Gears and all the multiplatform shooters.

Unless you're going to make all three, Banjo and Conker make the most sense - particularly given Spencer's previous comments around broadening the library and supporting IP.

If they turn PD into a cross between Splinter Cell and Tomb Raider it could be a nice reboot of the series and get the franchise to give both TB and Uncharted some competition.

I'd like a new Battletoads and a new Conker from Rare.

If they don't reboot Perfect Dark then they need to either grab the next Splinter Cell as a 3rd party exclusive, or give Shangheist to another 1st or 2nd party studio to finish it. They need a stealth exclusive imo, and RotTR is only partially stealth. Shangheist's postponement/cancellation really disappointed me.

Does any other console have a stealth exclusive? Would make Xbox one unique I think
