So, the last people of "good old RARE" seem to be gone now.

MS should rename or close the studio and try to sell the old IPs.

Every new entry of an old RARE franchise would be a huge disappointment.

RARE is like a ingenious daughter that does her doctor's degree with 17, enters the porn industry with 18 and dies as a crystal meth addict with 22.

There was a reason why Nintendo sold Rare all those years ago, you know...

I think he was referencing to the comment I made about knack , so he was not baiting. So don't take it out on him It was all in good fun because I like Knack too

Fans of the old Rare facepalm at the thought of the new Rare.

They made a bad game.

Rare is gone. All that is left is devs from a studio that has not made a true hit in 10+ years......

I was jusr about to say this lol. Come on bubblegamer don't just jump to conclusions like that!

OT:

I really hope MS will stop the focus of Rare making Kinect games now and bring something else more refreshing to the table. Or something more interesting than the Kinect titles!

It's not really the staffs fault that MS forced them to make Kinect games. I know MS have stated that Rare could make anything they wanted, but seriously no one in the games industry who can work on AAA games would elect to make a Kinect game.

So for me, it's disappointing news that they are getting rid of 15-20 staff as that won't suddenly make them make good games again... not sure why people are thinking that. They will only get to make good games if they are allowed to, and are given the budget and staff to do so.

Well its not too bad cause its only 16 people. Still I really hope MS gives up on kinect games. They advertise them quite a lot as well. People just don't want them anymore. Moreover, now that they stopped bundling it with the console, I doubt it will sell much on its own, and much fewer people will own one than anticipated and the market size won't justify a game. 

Rivals flopped? Good! Now, give me a new Banjo/Conker!
