Rare discussion thread

Reminder that Jontron was the reason N&B and Conker’s big reunion were so hated despite being decent enough games

i mean i bought a parrot and a cat for fucks sake

nu KI is an actual decent fighting game, old KI is garbage

Its obvious they shot themselves in the foot making Banjo.

for me both are garbage with shitty automatic combos but I still prefer old aesthetics and sound effects

New Banjo is entirely on Gregg. Microsoft has a weird "We need to ask the original development lead" and Gregg's always said someday he'll return when either he has an idea or hears an amazing pitch internally for it so Microsoft won't move without Gregg saying its OK for them. When Killer Instinct was being pitched Rare and Chris Tilston just told them "That was Nintendo Of America's Baby. Go ask Ken Lobb" (They didn't know Lobb was pushing the the project already and had written design docs for about 10 years ready to whip them out when there was a possibility it could come back. That KI documentary releasing soon is going to be amazing). Perfect Dark, probably just asked Duncan Botwood (Who's at Ubisoft these days)
Conker, Seavor said he'd do the voice again even after Project Spark but he'd want the game to be done in the same spirit as the original by a young dev team given a good budget and a digital only release so they could fully express their creativity. Then he'd give his personal thumbs up on it. MS probably could find the right indie/AA team for that more than Banjo. It's something Gears For Breakfast could probably do, even.

Rare is the truest example of when you add nu- to the beginning of a word.

Halo and Gears is in GP too.

I know someone who works for Rare, went to their house once. They don't flush the toilet I went in and saw a massive log, I think it was about 3 dumps worth.

They are a she as well

Game success isn't an indicator of a good game. Sea of Thieves has a 67 rating on metacritic.
Killer Instinct is a 2D fighting game, it's impossible to screw those up.
We haven't seen the consequences of the other news.

this is all new information to me, i had no idea that it was mainly up to the og creators
it'd be amazing if the elements from the cancelled conker sequel were brought back

Because that's from launch and the game has had massive improvements over the years with only a few of those reviewers going back to re review it in the last year and all have said it's one of the most enjoyable coop games you can play right now. IGN for example just revisited it last month and they gave it an 8/10.

>new AAA developer formed under XGS, the Initiative, is making a Perfect Dark reboot of all things

8/10 from a mainstream site means it's average.

Name one game you're enjoying right now

You're such a massive faggot
>if it doesn't good reviews from onion consuming journo's then it's not a success!
>Gets a better review from onions consuming journo
>lol doesn't count
I bet you jerk off to god of onions and cream yourself at how it "moves" the genre

Just saying that 8/10 from IGN isn't exactly a glowing review. A game has to be outright shit to get less than 8/10.

SoT is unironically the best mp game I've ever played. There's no game that comes close to the fun and experiences I've had with my friends while becoming a pirate legend.
If I had to name my 3 best mp experiences they would be SoT, Mordhau and WoW.
I guess I'll have to revisit the game now that they've added so much stuff.
