Four years ago they bought an espresso machine for the executive lounge, and it still works perfectly.

Well... actually, funny story about that espresso machine.

Oh no, they didn't? Dammit, it was a perfectly solid $250 machine that they bought for $12,500.

15k but who's counting xD

Rare has made Kameo, Viva Pinata and Kinect sports for 360. Those are pretty great games and i have a feeling MS did give them alot of freedom to make their own games.

If Halo had become a RTS, my dad would have went back to console gaming.

Bet with Xander XT:

I can beat more games on his 3DS than he can on my PSVita in a month. Loser has to buy the winner a game on his/her handheld Guess who won? http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=193531

Me!

Heck halo was going to be an rts.

What's wrong with that?

I also dont know

I mean Halo is an RTS Halo Wars. And according to alot of people its quite brilliant even tho its on consoles that are pretty crippled for games like RTSs. But I guess when you can get used to a shooter being played with an analog stick you can play pretty much everything.

Btw 2D Mario with a racing wheel should also work pretty good :)

Everyone ms is mentioned about to buy something people tend use rare as an excuse as why it would be bad. Rare was already falling apart when ms bought them. Even then kameo and vita pinata were awesome games. But those didn't sell nearly as well as Kinect sports rivals. If you were a developer wouldn't you want to make games that sold well. So they continued with Kinect sports rivals. Ms gave then independence to do what they want. Ms didn't ruin bungie. Heck halo was going to be an rts. Look at its success now. Let's calm down with the ms hate.

Look up some of the comments from ex-rare staff regarding Microsoft's buyout. Apparently the relationship really wasn't beneficial to them.

Rare under Nintendo was once lauded as the best non-Japanese developer in existence.

Rare under Microsoft had a huge exodus of its key talent and faded into complete obscurity, and is continuing to decline.

Rare was already falling apart before ms bought them. I key people left. Why do you think Nintendo let them go so easily
