Would explain that extremely random and out of place Conker cameo in Project Spark. Perhaps it was once part of a bigger reveal.
I took a picture the other day....
I would love to get hype but after last years E3 and everyone hyping up to high heaven the announcements MS had. I'd rather keep expectations low.
I am guessing one reboot is BS then.
My guess is Banjo.
If anything, the Perfect Dark reboot comment is BS. Didn't Ken Lobb straight up say that while Microsoft certainly has classic Rare IPs in the pipelines, that PD was not one of those franchises currently being revived?
This is the last comment I will make in a Rare thread prior to E3:
1) if there ever was a chance old-school Rare fans will be satisfied with current Rare-work, this time is this year.
2) that rumor has two legit and one wrong points, which leads me to the impression he just guessed. I don't know for sure tho. Things can change pretty fast in this industry so I can't make a final comment on this one.
3) Classic Rare IPs will return. Yes, more than just Killer Instinct.
4) If you guys aren't somewhat satisfied after E3 .... Kill me with fire.
I could imagine the headlines if this had happened "Old Nintendo IP revived by old Sony developers for Microsoft."
Kampfheld...who is that? Sorry, not trying to come across as rude but I am new to posting here and just curious.

But last E3 was awesome

Who is Kampheld again?
He is working on crackdown and everything he's hinted/told us in the past came true, he's not really an "insider" but he knows his MS stuff and gives us hints every now and then (like in this topic)
To be honest MS had an amazing E3, It's just a shame ntkrnl leaked everything. Imagine he didn't leak the MCC bundle, I think your response would be quite different to MS E3. That was a huge "HOLY SHIT!" moment that ntkrnl stole from them unfortunately.

Isomniac? Gross. I'm glad it was cancelled. Granted, current Rare isn't much better.
There were megatons. Just we knew then ahead of time.It was good. But people hyped up the MS conference as having all these MEGATONS and that just wasn't the case. I want to believe this pre-hype but id rather just keep it on check lol
Have literally no idea.
A Conker game made by Insomniac games.....I would love to play that :'). I can just see it in my head right now; great gun-play with crazy weapons, some of the best humor out of the studio, amazing visuals (maybe running off the Sunset Overdrive engine?) and just a fantasic story .
Good. No Chris Seavor and Robin Beanland means no Conker, in my opinion.
Gonzo, this comment isn't very great.Isomniac? Gross. I'm glad it was cancelled. Granted, current Rare isn't much better.
Robin Beanland is still at Rare, unless there is something ive missed since yesterday.
Ah, I was going with the idea that MS would push a FPS series.Yes, he confirmed recently that it wasn't being worked on, but that they talk about it often.
My only issue is if MS has no faith in Rare doing Conker than why should we have faith in anything they do? At least with something like Battletoads you would have to go out of your way to completely ruin it.
Well that's a misleading thread title. I have never heard of such a game being talked about here. If it's true (I have no idea), they probably asked Ted, Ted said no, and that was that.
Saying we are not interested though does not equate to "almost worked on" something.
I'm sure Ted has turned down a ton of games in the past. None of which we "almost worked on".
Huh. Take this, combine it with Kampf's comment... Banjo 2016, PD 2017?
Who is Kampheld again?
I dont believe the OP info for a second (ive seen Kampfs post too)
Ken Lobb already said PD wasnt in development.
Insomniac want to own their own IPs
I refuse to believe after Crackdown 2 that MS would be so stupid as to rush it out. If they were so desperate to make and release a Conker game quickly and on the cheap then just port the OG Xbox version over, add in the stuff they censored and then sell it on the Xbox One store for $20.
Robin Beanland is still at Rare, unless there is something ive missed since yesterday.
I wouldn't trust an indie studio to work with any big name IP, mainly because there's no telling how quality of a game you're going to get. Not to mention the large amount of excitement that comes with re-booting an old IP. The masses want true AAA remakes and a reboot made by an indie studio may seem insulting.
I agree that it's hard to believe that they would be stupid enough to rush it out, it's definitely not how Phil Spencer wants to do things now from what I've gathered. But the other two points don't disprove the OP at all.
What Ken Lobb said was recent, and all he said is that currently there's no PD in development. It doesn't mean it couldn't have been in the plans a year ago.
As for Insomniac owning their IP, well, they are developing a new Ratchet game right now, aren't they? It's impossible to rule out them working on a Microsoft owned IP if they were given the right conditions (money, time etc).
This as well.Need a PD reboot. So bad.
They already said no Perfect Dark was in development back in January.
He is the hero we deserve. A breath of fresh air compared to "insiders"
This as well.
Could be a smokescreen, trying to make up for the way NTKRNL defused their E3 last year.
He is, but seeing as the bloke in the OP said RARE were absolutely not developing the next Conker game, chances of Beanland's involvement became close to nil.Robin Beanland is still at Rare, unless there is something ive missed since yesterday.
Ready for the 2015 version of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCXMDPU61QMBattletoads with David Wise composing or bust.
