Wasn't PR or "empty speech" (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean.) It was a comment made in jest ( or humorous tone as the OP put it)on a podcast. But yeah keep that salt flowing.



You can't be serious.

Don't know if you played W101 but it's hard not to be doubtful after I tried it. I say tried because I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. Could barely see my characters or make out what was going on and the endlessly looping music killed any chance of excitement during battle.

Nah, haven't played that game. Maybe I'll check it out when I have more free time over the summer. Brother bought a WiiU for Bayonetta 2 and I haven't had a chance to play that yet either.

W101 would have to be a steaming turd to stop me being excited by a Platinum game though, especially after the magnificence that was Revengeance.

Just like their acquisition of Rare resulted in amazing games.

Nah, it resulted in Rare games. Which is the same quality as their past games.

This complaint is getting old. Rare games weren't the best on the SNES, they weren't the best on the N64. They were never among the best. Let's stop acting like Rare was on any level close to the Capcom greats or even Platinum Games' output.

Banjo Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing and Goldeneye are classics in their respective genres.
 
I'm incredibly biased because this is a Kamiya game and when it was announced it was the decider for which console I'd really want (between Xbox One and PS4). But "Game of all time?" that is a lot even for Kamiya.
All that being said I love the concept of a dragon game made by Platinum.

As an old Rare fan in my younging days who loved Golden Eye, the Banjo series and still loves the Donkey Kong Country games, while I definitely understand why they're classics(as I was there for them and enjoyed them at the time), they definitely didn't age well at all.

The 64 Zeldas, Mario 64, and the actual Nintendo games from then aged beautifully and play great today. Can't say the same about most Rare games outside of Starfox 64.
 
I fail to see how a Kamiya game could not be awesome, and I personally trust Lobb's taste, but this is a comment he should avoid really.

Rare didn't make Starfox 64. Banjo-Kazooie and Duddy Kong Racing have aged fine, and are still some of my favorite games. I'll agree with you on Golden Eye and PD though.

I love viva pinata and thought kameo was good but I think the "problem" people have is "they weren't too bad" is not the quality that people expect from rare.

I never thought their old stuff was wonderful either so their quality never declined, but the "scope" did

the guys who brought me goldeneye making fuckin kinect games and "some clothes for your xbox avatar" isn't exactly what I expected from them

Only two of them 'weren't that bad', the rest were incredible games. Nuts and Bolts is just one example of how far ahead of the curve RARE were when it games. Allowing the player to create their own vehicles to allow for all kinds of emergent gameplay? Emergent gameplay is all developers talk about now, but RARE were pulling that shit off with ease almost a decade ago.

RARE were just unfortunately too early to the party, they pushed for a revolution when the games industry and gamers simply weren't ready for it.

Really what?

What's wrong with the games I listed? Apart from Ghoulies, they were all incredible games that were in line with what RARE had been delivering under Nintendo.

Now that MS owns Minecraft, I wonder if there's not something to be made with both IP. Many people say Minecraft is the new Lego, "Minecraft Nuts & Bolts" could be the new Lego Technic. (with that said I always preferred regular Lego to Technic :P).

Rare making a Minecraft sequel/spin-off would indeed be a big year..

Like i said it was a comment on a podcast, but i guess he should have realized that game journalists(lol) would take what he said out of context and anger irate console warriors who don't bother to read the OP.

This would be incredible. MS really needs to do something with the Nuts and Bolts IP, they can't just leave it to be forgotten to the gaming ether.

And I always knew you were a bad apple. Lego Technic was were it was at.

Honestly me and my friends thought they should make a new Conker game called 'Conker's Bad Trip', the basic concept of the game is Conker going through the first party Microsoft universes and causing the normal mischief and hilarity at the IPs expense.

The first level starts off at the resolution/framerate of Conkers Bad Fur Day and in order to reach "next-gen" you have to collect Ps until you hit 1080p with a large counter on the top right(the resolution slowly increases as you do) and then you collect fps to 60 and finally you stumble upon some AA to boot.

You then go on a adventure to claim the Microsoft studios throne by jumping into each first party title one by one and causing mayhem and destruction.
