Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft is sitting on a precious Rare that still hasn't been used.

S.T.A.G.E. said:


Everyone has their opinions on what MS should do with the Rare IP's and imho Viva Pinata might have been good but not really worthy of conversation with Rares ips in their glory days. I mean I hope it happens though.  

Well the glory days are mostly nostalgia. Turning those classic IPs into something modern audiences will enjoy is easier said than done. Sony has a treasure trove of IPs as well similar to Rare. But they've struggled to make them appeal to modern audiences.

Making KI was a good idea because its unique and the resurgence of fighting games over the years. Unfortuately, we haven't seen a resurgence of platformers.

MS already has better shooters than Rare ever created. So if they wanna bring back Perfect Dark they need to do something really unique. Maybe something like Deus Ex and Tomb Raider.

Fuck if I get banned... This thread is full of big fat trollzzzzz that talk out of their big ass with dirty mouth full of dumb and zero clue about gaming and probably Hal if them never realm played any Rare classics....

Rare has done one awful game since MS bought it... That house of ghouls stuff... The rest was from average to brilliant... Kameo is one of the best 3d platformer of the HD consoles... Viva pinata is the best family oriented strategy game ever... Kinect sport is the best Kinect party game ever and one of the best overall, the fact that you don't like Kinect doesn't mean shitzel if you even have tried any game on it.... BK was odd and not really what people expected but it's still decent and way above the average game even in its category... But then again you probably haven't tried it....
Rare is a fantastic lucrative studio and above most other studio.... But yeah we know MS owns them so it sucks.. Grow kids...

Moderated,

See you next month bitches



If MS ever revive old IPs it will be by the hands of the most capable creative director in the industry:
Ken Lobb the Real Klobb.



They should do a Battletoads games, yes, a simple good looking HD sidescroller. Who owns the IP?



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

LOL Say what you want. I can take a hit and I respect your opinion. I'm not trolling though and you should have no fear of me trying to get you banned. The mods can do it if they like though. I only report if I am being harassed. If you liked those games thats perfectly fine.



Wasn't talking about you though I edited my post cause those parasite do this to get exactly that kind of reaction... You know like the flimsy big mouth in a bar that provokes the big drunk dude and then hides behind the bouncer...



I mean I disagree with you on many things.. But you are not blatantly provocative for the most part and pretty moderate when you are..

But you read some gremlins in hear its like rare the devil when they actually put out mostly quality games and are still way above the average studios both in quality and sales even though they didn't release any iconic games since MS bought them...



Sorry for the typos I'm on my phone and autocorrect is in the way lol



No, just no. Rare should put out a new Conker, Jet Force Gemini, or hell Blast Corps would be AMAZING on today's consoles... think of all the destruction and mayhem in glorious HD!

Battle Toads could be redone only as a 2D XBLA title... 3D would never work for the game.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
