Take a huge dose of salt with anything Greenberg says.
Looks fairly different from their previous games. It lines up with Greenberg and Spencer's comments at least.I wonder if Twisted Pixel is still working on the sort of sci-fi-ish game that was included as a concept art tease in LocoCycle.
Agreed with all of this!!!

It's from an interview with Aaron Greenberg. I've listened to it and can confirm that Aaron said that Rare is working on multiple projects.

Unless TLG shows up, along with Agent, Resident Evil Vita, God of War, Guerilla has been working on a reboot of Panzer Dragoon, a new Alundra to combat Zelda, Jade Cocoon to combat Pokemon and all the other crazy third party shenanigans that Sony can cram into a 3 hour long winded presentation of all things Playstation. Don't get me wrong, Microsoft could woo me with announcements if they wanted to; I'm just far from convinced they want to. Sony has had the ball in their court since their reveal and I don't see it changing any time soon given Microsoft's reluctance to open their policies or checkbook in order to make a real impact in the market right now. Besides, Nintendo could pull a crazy E3 out of their ass and we would all have to pick our jaws up off the floor...though the least likely it would seem.

Going to throw down some E3 guesses.
GeoW: Gears of War reveal
Retail project, Conker maybe? 2016
Battletoads, digital downloadable later this year, maybe launch during E3?
So 1 retail Rare title, 1 digital Rare title. And a guess as to what other games will be announced.

Aren't DualShockers a banned site? Honestly I wouldn't trust a single word out of Greenberg's mouth. The man has been shown he is not to be trusted on multiple occasions.
Yep pretty much this. Take this with the most massive grains of salt imaginable.

Even as a Wii U fanboy, show me Battletoads and a new 3D platformer and I'll buy an XBone.

They have at least two teams, Twycross and Digbeth. Twycross has had multiple teams itself in the past.
That would be really cool. I could even see some cross-promotion going on "Buy the new Battletoad game and receive a Batletoad as a free character in KI!"
Wat. Rare was a goddamn machine in the 90s. They could easily pump out 3-4 games a year back then.
Even in the early 360 days they were capable of multiple projects at once.
Kinect Sports is technically a Rare IP.
I doubt Rare is working on a kinect title though. Kinect is dead.TheUnsunghero26

Why would he lie about this? The actual interview just says "multiple projects." That could mean a lot of things.
How come? Rare had a huge output on the N64, had two launch games for the 360, and had 2 games in 2008.

Battletoads Remake, Battletoads VS Gears of War, Battletoads on Planet Reach, Battletoads vs MS Word. So much potential for Battletoads! Though I would just love another Conker 
Battletoads for sure is one of them. There is no doubt about that. The other based info "leaked" here on GAF and rumors suggests Banjo is another.
As for Seavor, we know he was at Rare a week or 2 ago. That could mean several things:
1. He just went to visit.
2. Went to lend ideas and/or voice to a new Conker.
3. Went to do additional Conker voice overs for Project Spark.
4. Assuming Banjo is in development at Rare, he could have went to voice Gruntilda. He voiced her in the previous Banjo games.
Personally, I don't think a brand new Conker game is in development right now, so my bet is on either 1,3, or 4. Or maybe all 3.
Whatever the case, I'm excited at the prospects of the future and can't wait to see their products unveiled.

Well one can always just go straight to the source the podcast itself where he plainly says they have multiple projects in the works. What reason would they have to lie about it?
So Rare is not working on multiple projects, and Twisted Pixel is not making a game? Lol.
This is just plain idiotic.
They have 3 big exclusives coming out for their system this year alone:
Quantum Break
Rise of the Tomb Raider
Halo 5
Hell, at this point they can just show off dev's playing the demos at their E3 conference and it would be fucking ace.
Back on topic. I would love to see new Conker or Perfect Dark reboot. If not, a new IP that puts Rare back on the map like from their N64 days. As long as they don't make another Grabbed by the Ghoulies or a gimmicky kinect title, they'll be good. Right? RIGHT!?

Exactly.
The ammount of contempt in this thread is already astounding. Can't say I'm surprised, though.

multiple titles? fuck sake. just work on 1 aaa game than smaller a games.
They got banned for the random no sourced E3 rumors. There's no reason to not believe their sourced articles because...there's actually a source for the info.

They are working on at least 1 project in unity, completely possible they have 1 aaa game with ue4 in the making and 1/2 unity projects coming, and that is what we will see is happening
Around 360 launch they were 4 teams: Conker, PDZ, Kameo, vp
A Gears 4 teaser showcasing UE4 (I know Fable Legends already is using it but Gears will be the true showcase) on Xbone is a safe bet...in fact we may see this at GDC with a proper trailer at E3. Besides that I think that a new Banjo game is more possible than a new Conker game, Battletoads is heavily hinted so it's almost guaranteed at this point.
Actually if MS at E3 shows Gears 4, Crackdown, a new Banjo game and Scalebound I will be a really happy Xbone owner.
On what basis? Blind nostalgia?
RARE haven't made a 3D platformer in a very long time, never mind a good one. Any old IP revival from them automatically comes with a massive 'wait and see' sticker on it.
Same. Aaron Greenberg is also already hyping up Halo 5...

You just need to filter out:
- the Kinect/Kinect Sports Jokes
- the "Rare is an empty shell" things
- the "Playtronic is the real Rare" entries
And you'll be fine with the remaining 6/7 messages.

My bet is battletoads and Banjo.

They do 100% have a AAA game coming, obviously I have no idea what order they will announce stuff in (Battletoads first at GDC, Banjo at E3 would be guess) but its good they have a few things in the pipeline
You should listen to the podcast, he comes across well imo.

I'd rather the studio make what they want to make, if they want to PD, I'm down with that and if they want to do Battletoads I can dig it too. I would certainly like to see a new PD though.
