rare games

hey, the new EGM basically say that both PD0 and kameo were done for xbox, but because of the switch to 360, they are redoing their game


soo. if xbox 360 didn't launch so soon....that would have meant 3 rare games on xbox....not bad....

3 rare games...make that 4 with conker and i would say rare delivered if not for xbox360....
 
Ever since the N64 days, at any given time, Rare always has about 5 console titles in development. I'm guessing there's at least two other titles that we don't know of, on top of whatever the Conker team is going to start working on.
 
Seriously, I think what takes Rare so long with their games is that they develop like a handful of games at a time. They need to boggle down, and pour all their resources into like two projects at a time. I mean already right now they have...

Perfect Dark Zero (360)
Kameo: Elements of Power (360)
Conker: Live & Uncut (Xbox)
Donkey Kong Country 3 (GBA)
Killer Instinct 3 (360)
Banjo Threeie (360)

And the generation hasn't even kicked off yet.

Well Donkey Kong Country 3 is probably already finished. It's just a port. And the handheld team worked on 4 GBA games at the same time at one point, so I guess they're pretty sizeable.

Rare is a huge development studio that has more than enough people to handle the projects they have to do. It's just that they're perfectionnists.

That's a pretty stupid statement though. They released one incredibly average game and one remake.

No, because Kameo, GbtG and Perfect Dark Zero were also games that began as Gamecube titles. So that scratches Conker, Kameo, GbtG, and PD0 out. Good job Rare.
