Remember that Project Natal game where Rare “managed a large team of engineers working on a tight schedule to go from pre-production to finished product in a year”? Turns out they’re not really going to get around to finishing this year – or ever.
This rumoured Project Natal game from Rare, found in the Linkedin profile of Software Director Bjørn Toft, was thought to involve avatars. Given Toft’s association with avatars in the past (and let’s not forget those ever-so wonderful demonstrations shown at E3 2K9), it seemed a given. Well, whatever it was has been cancelled, that too after only 4 months of involvement on Toft’s part, “due to changing business environment”.
That’s not all. Toft also posted about an undisclosed prototype Rare has been working on – alone, not in conjunction with Microsoft Game Studios – for almost a year. Your guess is as good as ours as to what it could be.
Well this is disappointing I been waiting to hear about a new game from Rare.
