lmao at ERA getting pissed off and saying fuck evil Microsoft. I'd have cancelled Everwild years ago. If anything, MS was too lenient.
Rare was an experiment that failed.I hate these big companies so much. They buy smaller companies, with talented and visionary people, for profit of course, and they keep ruining them, because the management doesn't understand gaming. They just keep doing it! Over and over.
So many amazing game series were destroyed by these bean counters.
If Microsoft bought Nintendo 15 years ago there would be no Mario, Zelda or Metroid anymore. It would all be gone.
Phil Harrison would be even betterThen hire Jim Ryan to handle the Xbox division.![]()

Theyll probably stop working on making games and stick to maintaining SoT operations while only working on few more of these:Don't get it. They had all of the ingredients for a successful game following SoT. Bad by Rare, bad by MS. Don't see where they go from here, hopefully not closed down.
They still got paid. At some point, if your company is dumb enough to pay you for 10 years for nothing, that's their fault. Not yours.It must kinda suck for the more passionate people in these companies. Imagine working in a creative field you love and after 10 years you have literally nothing to show.
Kind of have to let this sentiment go.If Nintendo got Rare back, a new Banjo game would do quite well on Switch 2
He's "investigating" guys. Sitting at your pc googling is now "investigating".
Did we ever find out what kind of game this actually was?
Rare.... L?I guess Rare is suffering some layoffs soon.
I bet 95% of those who made Banjo, PD and Conker aren't even with Rare anymore.Microsoft buying rare is one of the biggest gaming disasters in history. Took one of the most iconic devs of all time and completely ruined them. They went from banjo kazooie, perfect dark, conkers bad fur day, etc to kinect shit and they never recovered.
It's Microsofts fault. They didn't keep the talent there in the beginning, which they could have, with money.I can't say I feel bad for Rare. They had so many years with nothing to show for it. They had this coming.
Yeah they said that like 2 years after the reveal I think, how do you not know what kind of game you are making from the start?The game had been restarted so many times even those at Rare didn't know what kind of game it was
You can blame it on them but at the end of the day they were paying people with nothing to show for it.It's Microsofts fault. They didn't keep the talent there in the beginning, which they could have, with money.
People still talk about Rare like they are some great studio but not as much as before. Rare has always sucked to me.Are they? I don't see Rare fanboys around anymore like the N64 days.
I really liked Sea of Thieves. Better than all the trash besides DKC and RC Pro-am. Conker was pretty based too.People still talk about Rare like they are some great studio but not as much as before. Rare has always sucked to me.
Yes I think Goldeneye was garbage. Fitting really being on a garbage console that has like 3 good games.
Your opinion. But I think Donkey Kong games on SNES, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark N64, Conker's Bad Fur Day were all amazing games. Even Kameo on Xbox 360 was a good game.People still talk about Rare like they are some great studio but not as much as before. Rare has always sucked to me.

They left shortly after MS bought Rare.I bet 95% of those who made Banjo, PD and Conker aren't even with Rare anymore.

BOOOOOOOOO!!!!! just give rare to nintendo already and let them make games
I don't care about the people at all. Nintendos direction isn't make micro transaction games as services, they would give us single player games. Viva piñata on switch? Yes pleaseNostalgia makes people blind for the passing of time..... It's been 23 years since Rare was acquired by Microsoft. Almost no one who worked on those Nintendo games will still work there. It's a completely different company with a completely different work force.

The company culture is rotten to the coreHow is MS so bad at this
5 months.
This is similar to closing Tango soon after talking positively about HiFi Rush.
Does he even have any control at all anymore? Who's actually pulling the strings? Sarah? Satya?
I don't even know who that is. Some demonic woman living in the dark towers of Microsoft headquarters?Amy Hood.
"It has been [a while]. And we've been able to give those teams time in what they're doing which is good and still have a portfolio like we have. It's like a dream that Matt (Booty) and I have had for a long time, so it's finally good to be there. We can give those teams time"
