I guess it lets you know that they're still, in fact, alive.

Huh? Rare? Are they still around?! The last ones turn off the lights, please.
I was looking forward to KI3 but after this long wait I've found the replacement I've been longing for -> MK6. Rendered quality graphics, combos, combo breakers, stage fatalities and cool characters.
Not saying I wouldn't get it if it came out, but they have waited far too long. KI2/Gold sucked ass anyway.

God, I hope so. In a way, I'm anticipating PD0 almost as much as Halo 2.
A new Banjo is rumored too, to give Xenon a good mascot platform angle early on. Microsoft really needs to make inroads with the family market next generation if they want Xenon to become truly mainstream (like PS2).Prine said:Perfect Dark Zero on Xenon. Shall be a glorious day

So, 2 years after MS purchased Rare can we finally agree that MS bought a dud and Nintendo came the better out of the deal? I mean come on, what does Rare have to show for itself? Sure Conker is looking great but it's been in the works since the middle ages, and it's only a remake. Let's not get into Goulies.
All in all, it's probably for the best really. MS has the financial means to sustain Rare while they take their sweet ol' time with their handful of games and Rare is happy to explore and do whatever it is they do... which is not releasing games, that's fo sho.

What the fuck do you people want? Just wait until 2005 for fuck sake before making such harsh judgements. I swaer you nbots keep repearting the same tired old shit over and over again. YES, OK NINTENDO GOT SOME MONEY AND GAVE UP RARE.
And its not as if you people are anticipating Rare's Xbox titles anyway. Stop ruining Rare threads you cocks.

just let them be happy its a "dud".. it really makes them feel good, because all n-bots own Nintendo stock and henceforth were estatic at the savings nintendo could make and the value in their stock/ownership..
i dunno why the hate on ghoulies, i loved that game. not amazing 10/10, but really fun.
I've been steadily losing faith in Rare since Star Fox Adventures. I really want Perfect Dark Zero to rock since the first one did so hard. I'm not putting too much faith into Kameo, but Conker will be good if the main game's changes are only for good. Then again, I've played Conker and there will have to be some noteworthy additions to the single player for a second purchase. :\

I guess I am in a weird position here as I never played RARE games outside of Killer Instict, which I really liked, and some Donkey Kong Country on SNES.. I didnt have a N64, but I did go over to a buddys alot to play Goldeneye deathmatch.
I didnt get to play their other N64 games and then sfadventures, but when I saw MS bought them, I figured i'd give them a chance and picked up GBTG as it looked like a fun game and it was.. it was great, it felt like playing a 8 or 16 bit game but updated to todays standards of control and graphics/sound/production... i consider it a classic!
any of you GbtG haters out there should really pick up the game and give it a go, its like $20 everywhere now and it really is awesome.

Oh, they were indeed.
As a racer, MK64 was a joke in comparison. DKR's battle mode wasn't as fun as MK's (both sucked in comparison to SMK) but DKR trumped it in every other respect.
And Banjo was better than SM64, though I don't really expect anyone to admit it given how people worship the latter title.
Rare were up there with nintendo on the N64. Which is when i became a fan
Anyway, here's a snippet from scribes:
i thought as much. Cant wait to see what Rare have instore for Xenon. Hopefully at least 2 titles in Xenons first year.
PDZ will most probably be Microsofts equivalent to Halo, they'll be pushing this the most. Then some sort of new IP making use of Xenons new features and Xbox Live version 4

Banjo was a really fun game, but it wasn't as good as SM64. I thought Rayman 2: The Great Escape was a fantastic platformer as well, but wasn't as good as SM64. SM64, to my memory, had much better level design, boss battles, and secret areas. B-K had more variety to the gameplay, but that doesn't necessarily make it better (just look at B-T or DK64).
Mario Kart 64 is a better multiplayer game than SMK even to be honest. 1 player was pretty limited sure, and DKR wins over in that area thanks to variety mainly but MK64 still had tighter mechanics and balance. It's just a better made game.Redbeard said:
Mario 64 was revolutionary, and as above it had far tighter mechanics and control. Banjo lost itself in mindless collection also, while Mario's overall game design still holds up today.Redbeard said:
Really the only area these games can be considered "better" is in visuals. EAD's games are by far the more playable and polished products though, despite releasing years earlier and being notably rushed.
jarrod said:
Tighter mechanics and balance? You've got to be kidding. Those are the main areas in which MK64 fell flat on it's face. The horrible sprite racers gave no sense of weight or inertia, you just sort of zipped all over the tracks like it was a mode-7 game that happened to be using polygons. Then there's the crappy cheating AI, uninspired track design, etc... I thought it was a pretty lousy game overall.
Don't know what to say about Mario 64 and Banjo. I think Banjo one-upped Mario in almost every way, and where it didn't they were easily on par.
:lol
Anyway, Rare's games has been going down the crapper quality wise since Donkey Kong 64. Rare has also been a joke this generation and it only takes the most hardcore Xbot to deny this. What happened to the powerhouse Rare used to be? Is it because many of their most talented people left? Who knows.
I have no faith in Rare anymore. Yes, they may put out some great games in the future, but at this moment I am not optimistic about them. BTW, Diddy Kong Racing was an awesome game. Four-player battle in the the Icicle Pyramid was a blast.
