They'll be smart to let another studio make Banjo like they did with Killer Instinct. Rare isn't what they used to be.


Rare worked on Killer Instinct.  Also Viva Pinata and Kameo were fantastic.  Even Kinect Sports is good, just not what people want from Rare.  Same goes to Nuts and Bolts

Well he says they have plans for it, but I don't think that means they are developing those games right now.


Thats because they didnt talk about fully what he said.  He kind of avoided the question about Banjo and Battletoads.   Just kind of gave hints about them.  Perfect Dark he flat out said theyre not working on it right now but its in pretty much every single discussion when it comes to making a new game.  He also said that it doesnt feel right when youre in a world with Gears and Halo so Perfect Dark would need a makeover.  Maybe something stealth like or a TPS, etc.

Pretty much,  there is most likely  Rare franchise or two being made right now which is why he kind of skated around them but said theyre certainly bringing them back.  Perfect Dark however can be ruled out

Ok, I just hope they confirm whatever Rare is making soon. I'm really really hoping its Banjo!

I wonder if Rare and Microsoft will have new entries in the series mentioned for XBox One?

I'm pretty sure Killer Instinct was mostly Double Helix and Iron Galaxy.

I hope they don't fuck it up.... again.

If the plan isn't selling them back to nintendo, it's no good. Those franchises deserved so much better.

Banjo simply has got to be a platformer. Got to be.

I may need to buy an xbox one in the future if they're actually coming out with a new Banjo. About time microsoft brings something that actually really appeals to me.

And im pretty sure Rare worked on it as well.  It was a small team made of about 10-15 people.   Actually this is fact

PD is a good idea. To have a trio of shooters each on a 3 year release cycle would work really well. Halo 5 - 2015, Gears 2016, PD 2017, Halo 6 2018.....



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
