Forums - Microsoft - What the H3LL happend to Rare!?

ONCE a genius among 2nd party devs and just about 40% of the reason to own a Nintendo console, NOW, after a GAZILLION Dollar deal and heaps of fanboys crying their eyes out, NOTHING? What happened? Ok, there were some Ghoulies and some 360 launch games, but I never hear anything from 360ers about Rare or anything at all in fact.

What the hell?

There is probably a similar thread you could have searched for. Try the top right corner of the site.



Looks like you've never played Viva Pinata (a true gem).





And Banjo-Kazooie N&B (yes, is it a amazing game)





And Kameo (excellent launch title for the 360)





And now?
They are working hard for Natal.



Yes, I love Rare... since the NES era.
Still going strong!

Wow is it really TGS already?  Alright! Woot woot!  Show me some new games!



Around the Network

Lets see
Viva Pinata
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise
banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
Jetpac Refuelled
Ported Goldeneye
NXE
and now they are working on Beans and Natal

Edit: they also helped Bungie with part of Halo 3. They are also oversaw the porting of BAnjo-Kazooie and Tooie, and are now overseeing the port of Perfect Dark

they completely ported Goldeneye before the plug was pulled on it

Edit 2: They also developed Diddy Kong Racing and Viva Pinata: Pocket Paradise on the DS. How much more do you want them to make in 4.5 years? Let them have a break



Would you say the quality of their output has been disappointing?



their quality is as great now as it as ever was.

No

Perfest Dark Zero- Singleplayer was lacking, but the Co-op was a lot of fun.

Viva Pinata(and TiP)- My favorite game this gen, maybe ever

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts- My second favorite game this gen

Kameo- Just what I needed. An old school platformer(Kinda)

NXE- Just amazing

I can't wait for Bean

Are you kidding me?

Back then during the SNES and N64 days, Rare was easily among the top 5 devolopers, while there current games can range from 65% to 85%, which is good but nothing compared to the rare of the 90s.
