RARE is in it's way to death. Unfortunately.

Yeah, they are the only devs that cancel games...

Don't worry it is just more useless Anti-Natal Campaign retoric.

I found the part where it says it was canceled. The article writers stupidly screencapped the portion directly above it.

August 2009 — November 2009 (4 months)

Managed a large team of engineers working on a tight schedule to go from pre-production to finished product in a year. Project cancelled due to changing business environment.

That is in an image in the OP.

I remember when Nintendo cancelled Starfox 2 for the Snes. That was the beginning of the end for them. I wonder whatever became of those guys.

Did I also mention I'm blind?  Thought I'd throw that out there.  >_>

no, you guys are wrong, i've enjoyed banjo kazooie: nuts and bolts, and liked Perfect Dark: Zero for what it was, as well as Kameo. But they keep canceling project after project, and focusing on casual stuff like avatars and natal, and people who made RARE what it was in the 1990's leave 1 after another. Microsoft is known to kill studios, and RARE seems like their next victim :(.

Do you think Microsoft would stop Rare from making good games for the x360? Maybe they are having problems with Nintendo or something that we don't know. The problem is not Microsoft, the problem is Rare. They aren't the same developers but we can't say that they aren't incredible developers even now.

 

@Darth Tigris

Rare made 2 DS games (viva pinata DS and Diddy Kong Racing DS). If they are developing a game alone, this game CAN be for the DS again because it's not a competitor for the xbox 360. Maybe Donkey Kong Cuntry 4 or a banjo game like the n64 games. *dreaming*

My entire game collection isn't here on the site, we can't judge a guy using his collection.

When a guy has a lot of Wii and Wiiware games in his profile, and no games for any other. I think it is pretty safe to assume he doesn't have any other current gen systems

Microsoft is known to kill studios? Yeah, Bungie's really crying that Microsoft bought them years ago.
