Will definitely back this when it hits the console day 1 stretch.

That's what I'm thinking too.
I'm watching it go up and up, I can't not back it when it hits a million.

 

[Ozone]

Make it happen.

 

[The Real Abed]

Even more key members were still at Rare when Nuts & Bolts happened. It's a good game too, just not what the old fans wanted it to be.

And even if you donate $300,000 dollars, you're still a bit away from a million pounds ;b

How much does 1 million pounds translate in dollars? It's passed $700,000 right now. What's that in pounds?

 

[PaulLFC]

Aaaaaaaand backed. Console version. Just have to wait for them to hit a million now, which I see them having zero trouble doing given the current pace.

 

[Shard]

Good lord, over 700,000 US Dollars already.

 

[Welfare]

Hey Microsoft look at this! Look at it!

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

1 million USD is 661k GBP

 

[Touch]

It's truly amazing how much they have raised already. Wow.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

How much does 1 million pounds translate in dollars? It's passed $700,000 right now. What's that in pounds?

£1 000 000 = 1 513 200 US dollars.

$1,513,507.62 says XE.

 

[fabricated backlash]

I don't think it's so much that people don't want them, but at $60 there isn't enough of a value proposition. You look at Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus and it was a scaled down game at a $30 price point, and it didn't seem to do especially well.

I think it has more to do with people wanting their games specifically. A game not filtered through publisher bullshit

 

[Anth0ny]

$535 for the n64 cart ; _ ;

 

[ffdgh]

Just saw this in the comment section on Playtonic's site, thought it was pretty cool!

It fits so so well...

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

$535 for the n64 cart ; _ ;

Just like old times

taking out a loan for turok

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

The ones that count are the ones that escaped.

If only the rest could escape too. Maybe they like making avatars for the Xbox One.

Spoiler

Who is still left at Microsoft from the original Rare?

Hmmm, Pretty sure Rare is no longer doing that. I think a a different/smaller studio is doing that stuff now. This was posted a while ago can't find. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Leflus]

Well, Playtonic is certainly making fans of Rare happy.(

Agreed. I'm thrilled as fuck that more Rare-esque indie studios are starting to pop up (Gory Detail deserves a mention!).

Too bad Preciousbluedot is working in the financial sector.

Problem is I don't have, nor will I ever get, an Xbox One. So if they do something awesome, it had better be on PC too.

Well. It might happen. Rare has mentioned cross-platform support in some of their job ads. We'll see at E3, I guess.

 

[Auto-Reply]

...
Also if somehow any of you 3D Platformer fans havn't heard of A Hat in Time yet, you better check that out as well.

I just watched some of it on youtube, looks amazing. I will keep an eye on it when it hits steam.

 

[TM94]

I'm honestly flabbergasted at how well this has done.

Don't get me wrong, I expected it to be funded but this

Wonderful to see.

MINE CART MADNESS BABY

So happy that stretch goal was met so soon. I am ecstatic for mine cart levels.

 

[Rich!]

Do you have a link? That sounds very interesting.

sure

[disap.ed]

They might reach it.

So this is roughly the 665.000 pounds stretch goal.

 

[benicillin]

Those music previews put me over the edge. HELLO YOOKA-LAYLEE T-SHIRT.

 

[VinFTW]

Hey Microsoft look at this! Look at it!

I think they already were looking at returning the 3d platformer after Kinect Sports: RIvals. Hence the BK3 rumors

 

[BassForever]

Gonna back when I get home, need to be able to sit down and figure out which tier I'm in for. Looks like they'll hit all stretch goals pretty quickly though

 

[Dio Brando]

The music posted on the kickstarter page is AMAZING. I honestly cannot fucking WAIT for this.

it is, isnt it? cant stop listening to them.

 

[tamaster92]

put in £10 for the digital game

HYPE

[Sydle]

Backed!

Oct 2016 is so far away...

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

Partially thanks to Phil Spencer... right?

 

[louiedog]

What if this campaign was removed in a week because they signed a publishing deal with Microsoft?

 

[Raven77]

I honestly can't express how this makes me feel as an old school Rare lover. What a day!!!

 

[Kriken]

Hey Microsoft look at this! Look at it!

Spoiler

This still stings

 

[Chavelo]

As a Mexican, im baffled and curious about "La india Maria" trending in the United states.

She passed away today

[Nosgoroth]

With all the funding this is going to get pushed to 2017, isn't it?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

The David Wise track sounds like an unreleased Tropical Freeze piece. Not that I'm complaining, as it's amazing. Grant's track is also fantastic.

 

[joe2187]

But....Nuts & Bolts was a great fucking game.

[Leflus]

Why would they sign a deal when they already have a very succesful kickstarter?

[Kriken]

I'm talking about that statement more than the game

 

[DJMicLuv]

Why are they bothering when it's CLEAR that no one in 2015 want a 3D character platformer anymore. Sooooo 90s.

/s

This is fucking brilliant news. Since their heyday in the 90s we've been seriously starved of this sort of game. I remember fucking TONS of 3D character platformers on PS1/N64/PS2, some crap, some amazing and most very enjoyable little romps. I miss them and I'm sure if anyone can pull off a winner it's this lot.

What's most heartwarming is knowing we're not alone, there is a desire for these sorts of titles when we've been told there isn't. Feels nice.

I just hope MS/newRARE aren't getting eggy about the game and looking at ways to shut it down on copyright grounds.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Right? :/



That's such a rude thing to say, "the ones that count escaped"...

Not sure if this is the up-to-date post I was looking for: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=112577809&postcount=203

There is an even more up to date post by Steve.

Yeah, it's basically a remix of Wing Ding.

Okay, then I'll pledge another $750,000. Just let me check the couch for some change.

They should change that promise to "by saturday night" and see if maybe it has a better chance. Though it's been up for how long? And it's already at half that amount? It's plausible.

Either way, it'll definitely pass 1 million by the end of the Kickstarter. Well before. We're gonna have stretch goals out the kazooie.

 

[Impeccable]

What if this campaign was removed in a week because they signed a publishing deal with Microsoft?

What if this capaign was removed in a week because they all took the money and bought Microsoft?

 

[VinFTW]

I don't think so, probably the guys at Rare wising up and moving on from the Kinect fad. Good call because Kameo and Viva were great fucking games.

I just hope MS/newRARE aren't getting eggy about the game and looking at ways to shut it down on copyright grounds.

They're on very good terms according to that Playtonic interview! Think they're actually going to be collaborating/helping eachother out in the future

Oh, by the author of Brawl in the Family. Nice~

 

[Sectorseven]

I think it has more to do with people wanting their games specifically. A game not filtered through publisher bullshit

There's definitely some people who prefer that, as made evident by this Kickstarter, but I have to imagine most people don't have much of an understanding of game development, or what the difference is between a publisher and a developer for that matter.

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

I don't think so, probably the guys at Rare wising up and moving on from the Kinect fad. Good call because Kameo and Viva were great fucking games.

I was under the impression that they weren't free to do whatever they wanted. Kameo and Viva Piñata are great.
