I think I found proof for a new Battletoads

When was this pic? last E3?
 
I thought MS would move it to a different developer. I hope Rare doesn't make them regret the decision to keep it at Rare.
 
As long as the game is done right and is actually quality every Rare fan should be all over this purely to show we still want classic IP's revived.

When they want to do Perfect Dark they'll do it. It won't be another FPS multiplayer competitive thing, will be more like Splinter Cell with a focus on cool gadgets etc

That's why "soon", because if MS is serious about it, it's going to be in the oven for as long as it needs to be a distinct thing.

People actually liked Battletoads? I thought it was just a running joke on the internet.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, until one picks up those old games and plays them again. Then all those beautiful happy thoughts are realized to be a mask by the many poor controllers tossed across the room.

That isn't Perfect Dark.

They won't want to make something to compete with Halo, I think the idea works, I don't think a Perfect Dark like Zero (although better, in many ways) would have much chance of success at all so its that or not at all.

Ken Lobb seems to somewhat agree with my idea too, if Rare are going to make one, it'll be like that I suspect.

Well in the timeline of "soon" I think it could be their AAA game after their next one, depending on success and what it is. For all the things about Rare, since the 360 came out they've been efficient at gaming games out, the only gaps being to make tech for KS and then KSR on XB1.
 
This can't be Rares big reveal... it just can't.

They're working on a AAA Adventure game, and no way Battletoads is that. Perhaps a smaller project because they currently have 3 teams at Rare, so hopefully the dream of a new Banjo Kazooie can live on for 48 more hours.

Its entirely possible their AAA won't be at E3, and also another one of their projects, or something is being made by another developer. MS seem pretty clear on the whole "European studios at the European event [Gamescom]" thing so whilst Rare will be at E3, I think they'll be at that with more new stuff too
 
Why the hell would they (assuming) reboot this series? Makes no sense to me, it was just a Ninja Turtles knockoff that did well. Just make a new beatem up IP
 
Hasn't everyone already gotten their shock and surprise out of the way by now? Microsoft have been wearing this on their sleeve all year. I would have been astonished if the Rare project they've been teasing all this time were anything else.

I mean seriously, you have Jet Force Gemini, Conker, Banjo, Perfect Dark and you decide to make Battletoads?

Like why?

That running Internet joke about pre-orders, probably.

i never got the clamoring for a new battletoads (or crash) when resources can be better spent on a new IP unless you're a nostalgia fetishist.

Hrmm....

I dunno, man. Not sure I see the resemblance.
 
The AAA brawler action game will be battletoads. guaranteed.

Probably something along the lines of ratchet and clank with more open areas and multiplayer. Perhaps even closer to Jax & Daxter.

... my prediction.

It has been like that for years.

Go on here, change the link to donkey-kong-country in the browser. Or change it to battletoads. Or killer-instinct.

False alarm, as expected. I doubt Rare is working on Battletoads, it doesn't make any sense.

My boldest prediction for this E3 is that there is no Battletoads game at all, not even outsourced. I think the shirt was just for the Shovel Knight cameo.

Sorry you want Perfect Dark to be a decade old FPS instead of being modernized into a really interesting character-espionage game.

Perfect Dark is a universe, not an FPS. Leave its conventions in the past so a potential revival might actually be good.

Is there anything stopping Rare or whoever from creating a well made modern first person shooter. Why are you acting as if the only way to bring back the franchise is to make a dated FPS stuck in the past, or completely change the genre into something unrecognizable? It's not one or the other, buddy.

I want Perfect Dark to be Perfect Dark. If you're going to bring back a beloved IP and turn into something completely different then you may as well make a new franchise.

I have a bit of trouble believing anything Ken Lobb says after he blatantly lied about Phantom Dust.

Look at my post, little more info about what is likely to be Battletoads.
 
It's Battletoads! Why is this so hard for some of your to believe? It was Phil's shirt is all the confirmation we need.

Battletoads was popular enough in it's day to spawn a sequel on snes, cross over with double dragon ( which was hugely popular at one time ), spawn a arcade game ( which was rare for a console game to do, as it was typically the other way around ) and spawn a cartoon show ( yes it had a cartoon ).

I don't expect this to he a half assed remake, it was a triple A game from it's time. give it some triple A love and make it something we have yet to see.
 
BattleToads being Rare's main game would be a total hype killer. I don't think anyone would mind seeing it back as a smaller project though.

With Conker and Perfect Dark seemingly off the table for now, I really hope the game is a Banjo-Kazooie platformer. Yooka Laylee's timing makes it suspect, but still if there was a really good presentation of that game on Monday then I would go buy an Xbox One ASAP.

We have one side of that Phantom Dust story, he said it in January and they took it off Darkside in February, I doubt they hooked it from them to go and find another developer, either they already had it somewhere else, or they had someone else lined up for that time.

He will have known more about their plans than the employees of Darkside

Now search these via Google search like I did.

And? The Battletoads page has been like that ever since they got that new website. Just try yourself for the games or pretty much any Rare game. It will be the same as for Battletoads.

They appear the same if you search hard enough:

https://www.google.com/search?q=don...=UTF-8#q=rare.co.uk/games/donkey-kong-country

https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=rare.co.uk/games/jet-force-gemini

So yeah, false alarm.
Click to expand...

You and Shiggy got it wrong.

I searched for '[game title] website' and not for a link; you can type any title at the end of that link and it'll lead you to Rare's website.

Search for 'Jet force gemini website' or 'Donkey Kong Country website' and then for 'Battletoads website' and 'Banjo kazooie website'.
