Not sure about that, but they did make some of my favorite games ever at their peak. They also made DK64 in that same time period so yeah.

Rare was goat in their prime though. Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, DKR, Jet Force Gemini, Conker, and Banjo Kazooie were all top tier: and that was strictly N64. Then you have the old Donkey kong games, Battletoads, and shit like Killer Instinct. You can't really fuck with the run they had from Nes to N64. Microsoft killed the fuck out of them... smh.
R.I.P. Rare...
R.I.P. Rare...
I for one loved dk64, but it seems most everyone else prefers Banjo. *shrugs.
They were top tier for sure, but GOAT? nah.
R.I.P indeed
Rare is just a name now.

I was always under the impression that a lot of key Rare talent bolted right when MS made the purchase?
I believe a lot of them did and even some left some time before that to make freeradical. I remember reading something on gaf from those that stayed and how the environment was totally foreign and became stringent and the management were in a bit of disarray.

Ah man, freeradical. Damn shame about them.
It's crazy when companies buy assets and completely ignore what made those assets valuable in hopes they can make them more profitable. Usually if it was so easy as just placing your corporate culture on top of another company, you would have needed to make the purchase in the first place because would have developed talent on your own.
They were though. There were developers that probably had a better overall portfolio, but I can't think of another developer that churned out as many quality games as Rare during their Golden Years. Their 64 days were ridiculous. Blast Corps, Golden Eye, Banjo Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, Banjo Tooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day in 4-5 years. No other studio can touch that much quality in such a short window.

Also R.I.P. FreeRadical. Shouldn't have made Haze...
That game always made me think of bees.
Nah it was a screencap from that beautifulpeople.com thread. lol

bitch I'm taking calls.
Good article with some really nice ideas and thought provoking interpretations of the narrative. If there is something positive that will always be true of the games it is that the origin of the historical and societal source material for the plot of the Creed games will always be fascinating to me.

Reminds me of the scene from Knocked Up where she thinks Paul Rudd is cheating and he is just off doing a fantasy baseball draft. and she's like "this is almost worse than if you were just cheating"
I'm in the same fucking boat. At least mine is a draft party though, but I would have preferred it not to be Fri night...
i wouldnt mind if we were having a party but were all scattered across the state.

It's that bad?
Lee Daniels making a Janis Joplin biopic, then hopes to make Miss Saigon...and a horror movie? I can't even begin to imagine what a horror movie is going to be about, coming from him...

I didn't know the extent of the death penalty's popularity with liberal posters here until these "black perp, white victim" news stories became a fad.

next-gen is all about dem particles, apparently.
Not a huge Killzone fan, but I do profess to a love of that little beep sound when you kill somebody. It's like a signal to my brain I did a good job.

pretty game.
Yes I noticed Next Gen is all about particles apparently.
Watching that Killer Instinct gamecom video most of the attacks were just particles.
Next Gen looks very nice.
I'm hoping maybe.
MAYBE
By some significant SPECK OF DOT OF TINY CHANCE OF A ORB.
MAYBE
That the trend of dull boring brown or grey colors in games with grittiness is dying. Therefore more colorful games ahead. Non bland looking games.
hated that shit
Yup. The beep is satisfying as hell.
You know us black folks got to watch our blood pressure or we will get the sugar.

Of course but with a thread like that you get
"never getting married"
"joint accounts are stupid"
When the obvious factor in all these stories is being married to an asshole.
