Forums - Gaming Discussion - No brainer: If RARE returned to glory would X1 be your choice over the PS4?

HylianSwordsman on 03 December 2014

Alright, let's say that Rare suddenly consisted of the same staff they had in the Nintendo days, were given the same working conditions and freedom by Microsoft as Nintendo gave them, and were in every way the exact same company they were then, but their games happened to release on Microsoft systems. I'd say yes, because Microsoft would be an entirely different company in that scenario. Rather than the sort of company with a culture I don't like that produces games I don't like in ways I don't like them to and drives the poor talented developers at Rare away with their bullshit, they'd be a company that helped the Rare that was thrive and would probably also be putting out games I like, developed under the same philosophy of game design that attracts me to Nintendo. So yeah, in that case, I'd choose Microsoft.

This, that and the other.


Batgirl agrees with me, therefore I am right.

Indeed.  So says one of the greatest movies of all time

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

answer NO

1 game no
2-3 games. I'd consider it depending on price.
4 quality games? instantly.

However, I doubt they can even pull off one.

Even if I'm already an Xbox One gamer I never really enjoyed Rare games in general. So it would be a gamer changer or me.

RARE is over half the reason the N64 is so popular!

I played a lot of rare games and n64 before I had money for ps1. But even they being half the reason of N64 success that represents what? 20M consoles due to Rare against the average 120M of PS platforms? Do you see why I doubt Rare would net any real effect on MS topping Sony?

their phylosophy is different and that reflects in gaming enviroment and why Sony  dominates when they play right or equalize the rivals when they fumble on everything.

the consistency Nintendo have on the quality of their game Sony have for putting out systems (consoles).

Meh, Microsoft managed to give Killer Instinct to a decent developer and the hole Rare created in Nintendo is completely filled up now by Retro.
Rare's IP's will live on, but the studio is nothing more than a shadow of it's former self.
I can see them being closed down just like Ensemble Studios (curse you Microsoft!) and their IP's taken up by Microsoft for use with other studios.
