Wasn't there are story circulating earlier this year that involved a bunch of ex-Rare staff forming a new team to make a spiritual successor to Banjo?Just makes me think of what Urchin would have been like.

I wish Nintendo would. Rare has a bunch of experience with current-gen tech. They could make the Wii U sing. I would actually consider a Wii U if that ever happened. Could you imagine a Rare/Nintendo Goldeneye? A new real Banjo Kazooie?!Ms should just sell Rare back and its ips they dont do anything with them...

Haven't heard anything since sadly....
Yeah, I got a Xbox and Xbox 360 for Rare too man.Dang I absolutely Loved Rareware During the NES, SNES and N64 Days. I bought Starfox Adventures for Gamecube. The Main reason I purchased an XBOX 360 was because Microsoft had Bought Rare. One of the First games I bought at Launch was Kameo. I think Microsoft are liers saying Rare isn't forced to only make Kinect games. If they were allowed to make other games these prototypes wouldn't of been cancelled
I had one issue with Kameo. You were a Fairy who could Fly but you couldn't fly over top of water. You could fly unlimitedly over land but would fall in water if you tried to go over it flying.

Lovin' it.
Such a sad fate Rare suffered, thanks Microsoft. I unfortunately have zero confidence they could make a great game on par with their previous hits any more. Too much damage has been done, plus they instantly went downhill without Nintendo's guiding hand - the expertise and support that Microsoft lacks.
That can't be real.

Where have all the main people responsible for all time greats like Donkey Kong Country, Perfect Dark, Banjo, Conker etc. etc. gone to?
Now that Kinect Sports Rivals has a Giant Bomb Quick Look (some of their funniest content is for Kinect games), I was reminded of this thread.
Is there a single person at Rare that has been there since the old times and has witnessed this depressing set of events since Kinect?
Some of those seemed really interesting. More exclusive IPs Microsoft could've used in their arsenal.
Leigh Loveday still works there, I think. And by work I mean manage the Twitter account. There are a bunch of people from the Banjo team and others around too, but probably not that many.

Gregg Mayles - joined 1989
Steve Mayles - joined 1992
Louise Ridgeway - joined 1999
Gavin Price - joined 1999
Nick Burton - joined 1998
Paul Cunningham - joined 1995
Peter Hentze - joined 2000
Dave Rose - joined 1997
Seen some people from 2004/05/06 as well.
Not many (I was going round in circles and searching further I considered a waste of time if I'm honest) but probably more than people would have you believe.
Ive seen a couple of others that were at Rare in the late 90s but are elsewhere within MS too
Fun fact: Head of Lift London is Lee Schuneman who was a game director at Rare from 1996 and did a lot of work on some of their older stuff (notably Diddy Kong Racing)
Oh God that was beyond painful to watch.Now that Kinect Sports Rivals has a Giant Bomb Quick Look (some of their funniest content is for Kinect games), I was reminded of this thread.

jeff really didnt know how to play either sport. like, he wasnt even trying. haha.
Thanks for finding this out. I wonder if any of them have spoken out about in some interview that those kind of games won't ever happen, and they're stuck in this place until Kinect games stop selling.
They might have had time to practice if it wasn't for Rare's penchant for toddler levels of handholding, slow unskippable dialogue, cut-scenes, and the Xbox's crazy long load times. The coach being an ass was just the icing on the cake.jeff really didnt know how to play either sport. like, he wasnt even trying. haha.
And Vinny aces a perfect game as soon he gets a go on the tennis!
The condescending coach reminded me of the Rider, Meet Horse...Horse, Meet Rider dude.

Everything about that video was painful to watch. Except maybe Vinny's dancing.
