Studio reveals it’s looking for creative minds beyond of game design

 

Rare’s approach to project Natal may not be as game-centric as initially believed.

 

A recent recruitment ad campaign revealed that the UK developer is looking for new staff that are not particularly versed in game design.

 

“Your experience in games design is not necessarily important,” it read.

 

“We’re also not too bothered about what roles you have had and what games you have worked on. What we really need is the ability to think differently, think ahead and challenge the rules of what an interactive experience can be.”

 

The advertisements were found on Toy News, a trade publication for the toy business sector, which in itself compounded suggestions Rare’s Natal efforts will go beyond

Please tell me, Why do you think this is good? And also what do you mean a real Banjo? Did you even play Nuts and Bolts?

This has been on their website for a while now.

They need to hurry and announce a new game soon.



I disagree. It sounds like they don't necessarily want people that are well versed in CURRENT game design. Natal needs out-of-the-box thinking to interactive experience.

A lot of gaming blogs keep making the story THEIR take on what was stated instead of what people are actually saying. Readers keep picking up on that instead of the actual quotes and thus it gets spread all through gaming forums and whatnot with information that's not completely accurate.

I guess it all comes back to not being reactionary and reading comprehension . . . and no, this isn't my first time on the internet.



I can't remember the last game Rare even came out with.
