Apparently it's Rare's 40th anniversary today and some things got announced

let me guess
sea of thieves

Evercade announced that they're doing a series of old Rare game re-releases

>40 years of @RareLtd.
>From devoted Rare gamers to single-series stalwarts, we want to show our appreciation for anyone who's visited even just one of our worlds. For keeping an assorted ragtag of creatives working magic in the Midlands, only two words will do: THANK YOU

The Microsoft buyout was the first death.
Gregg Mayles leaving a few weeks ago was the second death.
Rare is over.

And fangamer stuff
Honestly this feels sort of awkward after the layoffs, Everwild's cancellation, the Initiative's Perfect Dark reboot got canned (as well as the studio), and Gregg Mayles leaving

>>717295403
Who's out there buying 40 anniversary merch for a corpse?

>>717295581
Same people who buy Atari merchandise I guess

>>717295262
>Look at all these IPs that we won't ever use again!
Holy fuck just go under already, Rare.

>>717295032
>>717295096
>>717295181
>>717295403
Who gives a shit about any of this junk? They haven't made a new game since Sea of Thieves 7 or 8 years ago, and even though I like that game, the studio's best days are way behind them.

>>717294949 (OP)
their closure?

>>717295013
Surprisingly no
https://nitter.net/SeaOfThieves
But then again, they've already covered as many Rare themed cosmetics in the game as possible so what was even left?

>>717295708
Some studios just want to do new things Anon
If they were actively cockblocking other devs from attempting it'd be a whole different story but Rare's always been open to other studios inheriting their creations....it doesn't always turn out for the best though

>inb4 it's just more "rom and emulator for $30" scams

>>717295884
>Some studios just want to do new things Anon
But they're not doing new things either.

This just makes me sad more than anything

gf is a Sea of Thieves player, and even those degens are unhappy with the state of that game due to them running out of ideas and only pumping out cosmetics.

so if they're barley supporting their live service what are they doing?

kameo and pdz were close to being good

>>717295708
This is pretty much how Astro Bot looked, to me.
>HEY 'MEMBER THIS DEAD IP THAT WE REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING WITH? OH LOOK, HERE'S ANOTHER DEAD IP WE REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING WITH! MEMBER? MEMBER?

wtf is evercade

>>717295936
There was Everwild but that turned out to be a mess unfortunately
We don't know how severe the layoffs were or if Retro had any other projects in the pipeline but Mayles leaving doesn't jive well

>>717296005
My gripe with "Astro Bot = IP graveyard" is that by that logic so is Smash Bros, Project X Zone, and vs Capcom games

>>717295032
>Conker's Pocket Tales
I wonder if they'll keep the DKC easter egg.

Couldn't they at least bring Rare Replay to the Microsoft Store or something? Not even Steam, the fucking Microsoft Store, just so that it's on PC at all.

>>717296008
Basically the same thing that Limited Run does, except they made their own special console and cartridges to go with it.

>>717294949 (OP)

I can't even be bothered to yawn at this rate.

>>717296104
They removed Donkey Kong music for Blast Corps in Rare Replay so unless somebody didn't notice or forgot, it's been removed

>>717295181
>not a Nintendo controller

Honestly surprised it took them this long to replace the pride month themed logo

>>717296181
Why would they release a Nintendo controller?
They're a Microsoft first party studio
Sea of Thieves isn't even on Switch 2 yet

>>717295262
>Conker being happy despite him being stuck in a room full of people he can't stand, Berri is still dead, no crown and not even beer or milk

>Massive layoffs

>>717296453
>no crown
He never wanted it though

least they couldve done is put rare replay on switch 2

>>717296286
Because the only good games they made were on the N64 zoomer.

>>717296490
All Microsoft does anymore is merchandise. Nobody buys their consoles or games but feels like every week they come out with some new themed controller and console or some new line of t-shirts and hoodies. Fucking pathetic company, might as well be Funkostop at this point.

>>717296575
>>717296143
Doesn't Rare Replay only work because it uses backwards compatibility for the Xbox 360 games?

>>717295262
>new joanna design

>calarts

>>717294949 (OP)
Layoffs
Cancelled games
Foreclosure

>>717296575
Or PC for that matter

>>717296651
DKC, Viva Pinata, and Kameo to a lesser extent

>>717296660
>>717296490
That's not how merchandising works
It's an external company that approaches Microsoft/Rare for the license to make the merch
Just because someone is selling an expensive statue of the Great Mighty Poo doesn't mean it's meant to line up with a new Conker game, it just means the company that made the statue knew there'd be a niche audience that'd pay hundreds of dollars for a shit statue

>>717296739
>calarts
Rash actually looks cool here unlike the reboot game
The art there is more akin to 2000's cartoons than 2010's

Rare was never good

>>717296090
>My gripe with "Astro Bot = IP graveyard" is that by that logic so is Smash Bros, Project X Zone, and vs Capcom games
...YES? What makes you think they are not???

>>717295708
>whenever capcom does some kind of anniversary or whacky game mode they always parade around corpses of dead franchises
Not that I expect them not to fuck up a modern release or reboot just want them to stop reminding me how shit they are now is all

>>717296873
No. Microsoft themselves are literally always doing >>717295181. On at least a monthly basis they out out some new special gimmick controller or console.

>>717296949
Because nobody complains that they're "IP graveyards"
People don't accuse those games for the same cynicism Astro Bot is thrown at
I get the gripes that Astro Bot is too ingrained with PlayStation as a brand at the cost of its own identity but I think the "IP graveyard" shit is dumb because it ignores the simple reality that a lot of those IPs don't get new games because
A. They're finished
B. Their devs aren't interested and would rather work on something else
C. Their devs are dead and there's no one to inherit them

>>717296985
>>717295708
When other mediums do celebratory works centering around characters like this, people like them for what they are
When vidya does it, people just get angry
Do you just prefer they did nothing instead?

I don't think he'd object to being king if everything ended okay for him, if he really hated it he would've rejected it, he didn't because being king is all he had left

>>717296873
>"It's not Microsoft's fault they gutted Rare and canceled Everwild just in time for the companies that wanted to pay them to license merchandise for the 40th anniversary!"
It's about how it looks, and it's an awful fucking look.

>>717295403
perfect dark was no more than a cinematic cutscene switched together a half year before the show and mocked up to look like gameplay. this was admitted. the game never existed and you should be thankful because nothing in it was perfect dark at all.

>escape Nintendo because miyamoto is an asshole
>get sold to MS and reduced to this
lol

>>717297502
Not gonna deny it looks bad, just saying a lot of stuff like Fangamer's Banjo-Kazooie merch came from Fangamer approaching Microsoft
Not the other way around
As for Everwild as sad as its cancellation was, we don't know just how bad of a mess the game was during development considering it was in development hell.

>>717297550
>Jet Force Gemini
Tribal
>Kameo
Thorn

>>717297559
True but it's still a sour note
It's like that period where Mega Man's games were being cancelled left and right (even if we can't be certain that some of those games were gonna be good to begin with)

>>717297618
Stampers went to Nintendo first
Nintendo said no
They opened themselves to an auction
Microsoft outbid Nintendo and Activision
The End
Rare and Nintendo never hated each other

>>717297550
The imp is from Grabbed by the Ghoulies
Wave Race is a Nintendo IP

>>717297550
>no Golden Eye
>No Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong

To be fair it's obvious they wanted to focus on the IPs they actually have full ownership and control over, it's also why you don't see Krystal or anything from Dinosaur Planet because Nintendo more or less owns that thanks to Star Fox Adventures.

>>717296697
I'm somewhat bemused how they kept using her as the default Joana despite how unpopular Zero is
I know they didn't like how the og looked too much like Lara Croft but still

>>717296090
>by that logic so is Smash Bros
In what way?
Xenoblade being announced for Smash wasn't coupled with Nintendo dismantling Monolith as an entity and letting go of the devs.

Be honest. What do you think is more likely. Nintendo doing a new F-Zero or a new Ice Climbers. Or Playstation doing a new Ape Escape or Gravity Rush?
People can always cry endlessly over how not their personally beloved franchises being chosen, but it's pretty undeniable that Nintendo with relative frequency reaches into the deep history of their properties and does new games with them. Fuck they've even recently done multiple new Famicom Detective Club.

Meanwhile Playstation has let go off all of their original in-house devs and dev teams and shaved off most of their first party devs in general. And they do not have a history of using their properties beyond the generation that they first debuted in.

>>717298048
They legally own the Diddy Kong Racing cast sans Diddy and Krunch
I'd throw in Timber just cause
Maybe Bumper to show how he's changed ever since he went to jail

>>717298216
>Nintendo doing a new F-Zero

It's funny because this has already happened, in a way.

>>717294949 (OP)
I really want to like Rare's N64 platformer games, but every single one's soundtrack and sound effects give me a migraine within 10-20 minutes of playing.

>>717298216
>Fuck they've even recently done multiple new Famicom Detective Club.
Here's the thing, Mages went to Nintendo for that
If Mages didn't show up, make the pitch, and got greenlit Famicom Detective Club would still be dead
Nintendo doesn't actively prioritize reviving franchises or does so randomly
If an accomplished studio went to Sony for a new Gravity Rush (or outright pays money to license the damn thing entirely), odds are they'd get greenlit no different
I'm willing to bet the Medievil remake came from the devs going to Sony and not the other way around

You guys think I can grease the palms of Microsoft to sell me the rights to some of Rare's less successful games? I have a whole $2.

>>717295262
>Check comments of the post this pic comes from
>All these company profiles and blue checkmarks celebrating happily and cheering to another 40 years
Made me physically ill seeing all this parading and celebration of a company that has long since lost its mojo and may as well be dead. It's madness.

>>717295708
This

>>717298397
You know twitter's mostly bots right?
I'm not upset Rare isn't going back to platformers or fighting games or whatever, I'm upset Rare hasn't successfully released a new game since Sea of Thieves (and I don't like live service so I've been waiting even longer which doesn't help since I didn't like the Kinect either)

>Dragging this corpse around for the 40th year parade
Fuck yourselfs with a ryoba saw

>>717298474
Again, they'll only die if Sea of Thieves dies and they could possibly deliver a saving throw and release something else bailing their ass by the time the game is completely unprofitable or seen as "not worth it" by upper management

>no viva pinata ever, won't even release TIP on the PC
man i actually liked Rare's early xbox offerings before they disintegrated

>>717298634
Someone's making a fan remake
Apparently Microsoft is cool with fan games if all the assets are original

>>717298096
I don't think I've ever seen anyone defend Zero, even on /v/. I don't think a single person likes that fucking game.

I understand if they want to make Joanna look more distinct but they should've just leaned into that femme fatale look. She was inspired by actresses like Winona Ryder, Anne Parillaud and Gillian Anderson, just do something with that.

>>717298386
>Here's the thing, Mages went to Nintendo for that
And Nintendo allowed them to use it and collaborated with them extensively.
>If an accomplished studio went to Sony for a new Gravity Rush (or outright pays money to license the damn thing entirely), odds are they'd get greenlit no different
What makes you so sure of that? The Ape Escape devs (the actual devs, not some third party) were drumming up excitement for a new game announcement to coincide with the anniversary at the time. But instead the project gets fucking cancelled by Playstation and later all of Japan Studio got the axe.

>>717298263
People will claim it doesn't count though for some reason. Meanwhile Playstation doesn't even do that much for its vast number of properties of old.

>>717298392
No, Rare titles might also be an all or nothing packaged bunch since a lot of them reference each other extensively
It's already a mess with the current situation with Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64 requiring both companies to agree on a re-release
No bother to make it even worse by splitting it even further

>>717298783
>all of Japan Studio got the axe.
Yeah thanks Sony, really glad you guys did that. Nuke California.

>>717298634
Plenty of people did.

What about SoT is so bad? Totally not my type of game to begin with, genuinely curious why it's so reviled.

>>717296873
>aw man i need a toy shit statue
who says and does this?

>>717298729
The music is good at least but then again so is Silver Surfer on NES

>>717298931
Hah. Tim Follin's output was always good, too bad he didn't make music for any good games.

>Microsoft as a sign of goodwill allow Nintendo to put classic Rare titles on their Online service
>Nintendo don't return the favour by allowing the Rareware DK games to be playable on Xbox
I will never forgive them for this

>>717294949 (OP)
Unless this means more jet force gemini porn or perfect dark porn, I don't care.

>>717298783
>And Nintendo allowed them to use it and collaborated with them extensively.
I'm not disagreeing but like I said, Nintendo doesn't actively make it a priority
They're just open to IP revivals if other devs want to do it and they're not an exception to the rule
Microsoft is genuinely supportive of other developers tackling their dormant IPs, that's how we got Killer Instinct back in 2013 or that Battletoads game that destroyed excitement for the series going forward after Shovel Knight and KI hyped it up
>What makes you so sure of that?
MediEvil of all things getting a remake in less than a year after a twitter campaign tried to drum up interest and Sanzaru Games got Sly 4 to be made after they pitched to them.
Admittedly, yeah Sony's not the best example to use for the reason you said.
That said, if I had the chance I'd tell Japan Studio that Knack 2 is a very bad idea.

>>717299151
Because Microsoft has less to lose than Nintendo when putting their games on other platforms
Xbox (the platform) is a glorified experiment that for the most part has lost money for Microsoft

>>717298896
>What about SoT is so bad?
For what it is, Sea of Thieves is pretty good I suppose.
As for why it's looked down upon by many anyway? It's a live service game.

Whether or not that makes it justified or not to look down on it can be argued.
No matter the case. It's probably not a coincidence that it's the only new game they've done in a decade. Picture kind of related.

>>717295403
Wireframe shirt is pretty good 2bh.

>>717299265
all console hardware loses money, by design. Nintendo, MS, Sony, et al make their money off the license fee they charge for software sales. same business model as razor blades; handles are sold at a loss, blades sold for an obscene markup.

>>717299278
I've said it before and I'll say it again, in an ideal world Rare would've been structured like Nintendo EPD considering how alike Rare and Nintendo (the developer) were in the 90's.
Not saying Rare would have to over rely on the same IPs, by all means I respect creative freedom, just be organized in such a way that allowed more games to be actually released

https://files.catbox.moe/tnr9ul.mp4

>>717296651
that's wrong though. Rare also had good games on the NES and SNES.

>>717295013
>>717295772
Nvm there was a Sea of Thieves related announcement
Cosmetics

Imagine the world where Rare got bought by SEGA instead of Microsoft.
The Xbox was fucking toxic to the kind of games Rare developed. Any success the Xbox Rare games saw were in spite of Xbox and not thanks to it.

>Naka came to visit with his team to tour our studio [and] look at our tools and engine; we had a lot of proprietary [and] really phenomenal tech – I would say still to this day, [we had] some stuff that I haven't seen replicated quite at the level we had. [Naka] didn't realize that the people on my team, a lot of them spoke fluent Japanese, including my lead engineer. [Naka] started speaking in Japanese assuming that no one would understand; [he] started talking about what parts of our tech they were going take for Sonic and then basically said as soon as they ship, fire everyone but one of the engineers who knows their system and roll him onto our team for Sonic – and my team heard all that, so you can imagine how they felt. Naka was pretty powerful at Sega at that time.

Trust me, SEGA owning Rare wouldn't be a good thing

>>717300964

Reminder that the Patapon guys DID go to Sony and they said no.

>>717295262
Who's the smiling piece of celery?

>>717297550
Aside from Thorn, Kameo's represented with Rubble

>>717301056
something like that. All I know is that Platinum owns it completely now

>>717297550
Unless I'm wrong only Blast Corps, Monster Max, Kinect Sports, and a few Ultimate Play the Game titles aren't represented here

...wait, I just realized Microsoft could have made a new Viva Pinata all along

I understand not making a new Banjo, I may even understand not making a new Perfect Dark, or leaving Ghoulies and Kameo to rot.
...but why did they decide Pinata was to be forgotten too?
Didn't everyone like those games?
No remaster either?

>>717297550
>JFG
The annoying controller robot is up there, can't remember his name. And one of the Tribals. Seriously though, why no Leo or Vela?

>>717301623
maybe Young Horses?

>>717301602
>why no Leo or Vela?
Space reasons like why Riptor of all characters is repping KI and not Fulgore if it had to be just one
The Pinatas are smaller and easier to draw chich is why there are plenty of them here
Roysten is a nice touch though

>>717297109
The corporatism brings out the cynicism, and the pastiche-cameo appearance of long dead IP that have a snowball's chance in hell of having anything done with them is depressing. Smash, Project X Zone, Capcom's VS games, et al., they're celebrations because they bring back the actual old characters, kit them out with new art, and use their iconic actions and scenarios. There's a lot more effort than slapping their accessories on a generic bot character like they tumbled through the soulless cosmetic micro-transaction factory. That effort pays respect to the IP that people liked.
Bringing it back on topic, you see the same cynicism when Microsoft tried to parade Conker's corpse around to promote their latest corporate nightmare, twice. With Project Spark and then with the abortion that was "Young Conker" for their failed AR glasses.

>>717295682
Seems like something the angry video game cuck would buy

>>717296286
>Why would they release a Nintendo controller?
>They're a Microsoft first party studio

We got Banjo in Smash and several Rare games on NSO.

>>717301892
But Nintendo is the one paying for those
They're not gonna sell themed merchandise for a Microsoft IP past amiibo

>>717301782
Also another example is how Konami was exhuming its own IPs for Bomberman cameos which again looks like products out of the microtransaction cosmetic mill, and people rightfully point out how it's an IP graveyard.
But by contrast, the Bombergirl cameos are much better received, because there's way more effort put into them and they pay more respect to the characters somehow.

>>717296667
They've had enough time at this point that they could have just made native ports of those. It's not like the Xbox 360 was running esoteric hardware.

>>717301892
Completely different scenario
Nintendo paid money to license Rare's IPs
Regardless if a Rare themed Joycon is made by Microsoft, Nintendo, or a third party its still a different situation compared to what happened with NSO and Smash

>Rare Replay came out a decade ago on the 30th anniversary
>No ports or follow-up since for its 40th

If I remember correctly the last update on him: he's out and about right?

>>717302167
Series X supports it natively, there's nothing to port it to.

>>717302228
He's been released, he's "sorry" for his actions
Don't trust him

>>717302167
I wish the Nintendo games were on it so we would've gotten behind the scenes info on them
At least with Goldeneye they tried to get the rights and recorded a behind the scenes breakdown anyways to which an employee leaked

>>717302308
A system that's not dead. Game isn't even available for cloud streaming.

>>717302371
>to which an employee leaked
Got the site/video/whatever handy? Most I ever read of the Goldeneye 64 development was how it was originally an on-rails game by 7 noob programmers fresh to 3d programming, and it was all their first game.

>>717296090
>so is Smash Bros
Ah yes, I remember how literally 95% of the IPs represented here have been inactive for the last two decades. 100%.

>>717296090
I mean, Nintendo actually uses their old characters (unless you're a massive Mr Game and Watch or Duck Hunt fan, or something), and Smash Bros has the real characters in it, and let's you play as them, which is a lot better than just going "hey, look", and then doing nothing.

I think raretards are the biggest retards and man children whiners there is. They understand nothing and only operate on feelings. There is a VERY good reason why rare replay has not been touched.

>>717305130
Trophies?
Spirits?
Smash is full of dormant and dead IPs

>>717295262
Jet force bros we are forgotten...

>>717299971
Don't forget Naka allegedly would get vocally angry and threaten to quit if anyone tried to use his own tech, Sega internal teams included.

>>717305232
It's also filled with active IPs, and in some cases has been responsible for reviving IPs (Kid Icarus, King K.Rool)
You can't make every game at once.

>>717305390
>Kid Icarus
If Sakurai wasn't approached by Iwata to use a Nintendo IP after he came up with a game design involving air to ground gameplay, Kid Icarus would still be dead
Kid Icarus wasn't even his first thought either
Smash Bros isn't the promised revival gateway people make it out to be
If that was the case Ice Climbers would have had a new game by now

The reply chain you replied to was about "IP Graveyards" and >>717296090 making a comparison between Astro Bot and Smash Bros.
Astro Bot, if you're unaware, is a Playstation property that has countless of of homages to old and ignored Playstation properties, like Ape Escape.

>>717301581
Have you noticed that Microsoft didn't have any mobile games before they bought Actiblizzking? You'd think they'd jump in with a Viva Pinata phone game or the like, but I suppose Xbox lobbied against it since that would threaten their (at the time) console business model.

>>717305521
Ice Climbers isn't that good of a game. Smash Bros is the best thing you can do with those characters, because they have a cute design and a fun theme, and that's about it.
Plus, the actual characters are in the game, and you can play as them. That's still a video game, and that's still making use of the characters. That's not Rare going "hey, Remember the Great Mighty Poo?" every few years, and then only working on Sea of Thieves, or Sony reducing the stuff you actually liked to funko pop form in Astro Bot, and tip toeing around the fact that they disbanded the developers years ago for not selling Naughty Dog numbers.

>>717294949 (OP)
sea of thieves is a great game and is exactly in line with the spirit of classic rare, taking an imaginative play concept like pirates and gamifying it. it's just that because of the nature of the modern industry and gaas it would become a never ending grind that would swallow up the company.

>>717304639

If we're moving the goalpost that wide fucking Jak's presence in Astro Bot isn't an IP tombstone

>>717298783
it doesn't count
Miyamoto has gone on record as saying he had trouble trying to figure out how to evolve F-Zero, which is why GX was handed off to Sega.
F-Zero 99 is a cool but shameless rehash of an SNES launch title, it's not a new game. It's exactly the kind of game Miyamoto didn't want to make: F-Zero, again.

>>717306357
F-Zero 99 is very much a new game.
Not a game I particularly care about, but it's not just the SNES game.

Laaaaaaaame!

Is there any record of a previously old vidya company, now bankrupt or in dire straits, dissapearing from the public AAA news, and actually make a successfully comeback maybe 10 years later, or under a new company name?

I feel like this is what Rare should do already. All their IPs are dead or in a zombie-like state, they won't recover, period. What are the odds of they simply starting from scratch and make a simple indie level game or some shit and see if that becomes a starter hit?

>>717305152
they didn't need Nintendo's permission for that. it was a licensing problem with Eon Productions

>>717295096
>>717295262
Didn't know they did Viva piñata. Neat.

>>717307276
I could have accepted Rare Replay for PC or official ports of KI1 and 2.

Too bad they couldn't find the time to make a new video game

nearly all the Nintendo-related Rare titles are individually available on the Switch, friend.

>complaining about the lack of cross-platform titles in the most platform-agnostic era in gaming
MS and Sony both have their flagship AAA first party games available on each other's platforms, this would've been unthinkable even a decade ago.

>>717302308
They should do a Switch version that takes out some Microsoft era stuff and puts in Nintendo era stuff.

>nearly all the Nintendo-related Rare titles are individually available on the Switch, friend.
I'm aware of that, but games like Viva Pinata and Nuts & Bolts are still stuck on the Xbox console, and I feel like those'd thrive with some new life as some modicum of cult status and enjoyment with Nintendo fans. But my argument's less towards wanting the games rereleased in a different console, and wanting the documentaries and galleries available outside Xbox as well - those were genuinely one of the most interesting parts about Replay, and having them around to watch on a cart'd be perfect. A good couple of them are available on Youtube now, but I could have sworn some are still game-locked.

>>717294949 (OP)
If it's not Banjo Threeie I don't care what Rare does.

Sea of Thieves was a mistake.

>>717309583
Because Sea of Thieves is literally their most successful game
Even if Nintendo wanted to buy back Rare, Rare's value has likely stayed the same or increased because of Sea of Thieves alone
They'd be more expensive to acquire now than they were back when Microsoft bought them

>>717305217
Multiplatform Rare Replay would still be a better return on invesment than 90% of Microsoft's modern catalog even it loses money, It will still lose less money percentage and direct proft and loss wise than the Outer Wilds 2 or Perfect Dark!

>>717306012
They should had go when Yamauchi/Arawaka still are the bosses of nintendo

I just want Rare Replay on Steam bros.

>>717307454
Gruntilda, Panther King, and Baron Von Ghoul even had a cameo in the Viva Pinata cartoon

Where the fuck is my rare replay you faggots. Fucking port that shit already and get off of sea of thieves dick.

>>717308943
nearly all of the Rare Replay titles are available with Switch Online.

>>717309609
Switch can't emulate Xbox, and I doubt Switch 2 can either. and they're not going to do native ports because that requires a whole level of work beyond what was needed for the original Replay launch.

>>717309783
"Number go up" is such a Libertarian-tier excuse, they're a dead company purely on the basis of having one game now, only one game, and it's a sandbox ocean first-person pirate simulator that had a choppy first launch at best and only managed to claw its way back to profit via numerous content updates. It's still a dead company because you got no IPs you're actively working on beyond the one game that made the most money, an original IP that died stillbirth from daddy Microsoft's layoffs, a reboot of your legacy IP that also died hard, your original founder up and retires, and your fans of old are aging out and quitting because they're dead, old, or apathetic.

It's like arguing Cartoon Network will live for a decade more because they're making money hand over fist on Teen Titans Go and keep rebooting it for seasons. Comcast just dropped them completely from the channel package, and Warner-Discovery's looking to make some cuts again real soon.

>>717302057

Isn't that a bitch to work with?

They're making Sea of Thieves 2 aren't they?

Donkey Kong Country 2.

It's really about the people working there more than IP.

An Xbox is a worthless purchase if you already play games on PC

>>717315089
Take out the 7 xbox/360 games, replace the 360 versions of the n64 games with their original versions, add in DKC1-3, arcade versions of Killer Instinct 1 and 2, Diddy Kong Racing, DK64, Monster Max, StarFox Adventures, Grunty's Revenge and SaberWulf. Throw in a fully finished version of Dinosaur Planet as a bonus.

I am a Rare 7th gen apologist, viva piñata fucked hard and Nuts & Bolts layed the groundwork for besieged and TotK. Inspite of my apologies they haven't made shit since they got forced onto the kennect.

>>717315391
>Forced
It was their choice

>>717315391
They volunteered to work on Kinect shovelware. They didn't have any big ideas at the time and wanted to collect easy paychecks.

>>717301581
Viva piñata is so fucking underrated
Fuck tendies for not even giving it a chance on the DS, legit one of the best Rare games in forever.

>>717315391
I wish nuts and bolts was it's own IP. It was genuinely a great concept for a game. Sure the banjo stuff worked to market it somewhat but that wasn't what fans of the IP wanted. Beseige is okay but it strips away the pick up and play fun entirely for engineering wank and is kind of frustrating at times.

>>717315480
It's more that Rare was always keen on working with new technology from DKC's graphics to pushing the N64 to its limits.
Hell, Banjo-Pilot was gonna use tilt controls and the Diddy Kong Racing remake on DS used practically every gimmick the DS could use.
A lot of Rare's questionable decisions make more sense when you put it under the context of what they've always been like across their history.
Had Rare stuck with Nintendo they'd most definitely do all sorts of stuff with the Wiimote, DS touch screen, 3DS gyro, etc

>>717315305
>Throw in a fully finished version of Dinosaur Planet as a bonus.
might as well figure out the 360 emulation at that point cause shit would be expensive as fuck to make.
Rare Replay on PS5 would be a complete laugh tho.

>>717315791
The direction Nuts & Bolts took came after that initial trailer that didn't have vehicles whatsoever
Them keeping it a Banjo-Kazooie game in spite of how drastically it was changing seems boggling (albeit they already announced A Banjo-Kazooie game previously).....until you find out that they agreed to change Dinosaur Planet to Star Fox Adventures knowing it'd be a better business move to attach it to an established IP

>>717315890
Honestly I was on board for what MS actually wanted at the time with Banjo X (a Kazooie remake where the characters would notice they were into a remake and mid point the game would change course very on point for Rare humor and also fuck you Nomura even they thought this first) until it got to the 360 and then it got shelved into N&B

>>717295323
fuck gregg mayles we don't get banjo cause that gay faggot

>>717311039
It was actually quite capable if the developer has time to work on it. Rare did not have time to work on it because Microcock was fasttracking the 360's release to beat Sony. They bought them in September 2002, 360 was launching November 2005. They really expected Rare to be able to learn all the new hardware/software and shit out a bunch of games in that short of a timeframe. Right after buying them out.
They did manage two games for the original Xbox despite this, but one of them was Grabbed by the Ghoulies and the other one came out a few months before the 360 launch (and wasn't backwards compatible). It didn't help that, while Microcock was fine with letting Rare do their own thing, they weren't exactly approving most of the stuff that Rare came up with. It's why so many people left after the buyout, and why Rare was relegated to Avatars and Kinect horseshit for so long.

>>717315798
Having to blow into the microphone to do a turbo start in the DS DKR was the stupidest gimmick ever in a racing game. Shame too as everything else was fine aside from them removing Conker and Banjo due to MS owning them now.

>>717318908
When I think about Conkers development and how they overhauled it several times over the course of a few years is pretty amazing especially with how they had to put their foot down and release something instead of sinking a decade into a single project only to get canceled.

Which is still bad on principal but I doubt the Rare games are gonna leave anytime soon

>>717300958
I remember playing that game as a kid and constantly getting stuck about an hour in, and never figuring out how to leave the first area.

>>717296090
I agree. The complaint leveled at Astro Bot isn't logical, more like console warrior drivel than a legitimize criticism. It's not Asobi's fault in the first place there isn't a new Legacy of Kain in the same way the Project X Zone devs aren't at fault for Darkstalkers being dead (which no one blamed those devs for, but /v/ will gladly put this blame on Astro Bot because it's a Sony game).

>>717325016
Did they seriously make a comic for a game who's story was made up one month before shipping?

>>717325156
Yeah, it was a one-shot

Do you guys remember that time where the internet's premier and only remaining Rare fansite went under like a decade ago because even they couldn't defend how fucking dogshit awful the company is now? Classic Rare.

>>717325156
>game's story written in under a day

>>717325396
Yeah, Kinect Sports was the straw that broke the camel's back
Rare even responded back
There's still DKVine though
Rare Gamer's social media is still active but the site itself hasn't updated since 2022

>>717306012
I have a feeling Nintendo saw the writing on the wall with Rare and decided not to to buy them

>>717325156
The issue itself came out in October
Almost 7 months after the game came out
I wanna say Jet Force Gemini or Perfect Dark would make more sense but they weren't out yet
Hell, Banjo Kazooie wasn't even out yet
Killer Instinct also already got comics

>>717325705
They still tried to compete in the auction but then Microsoft offered the final bid and Nintendo figured their money from Rare could be spent elsewhere
But yeah, context-wise Rare's then recent output wasn't doing too well sales wise and they were missing deadlines

>>717295262
my question is if
>nintendo denied them the ability to use DK, or at least the kremlings, for the anniversary stuff
>if rare just didnt reach out and try to get the rights to it
with the sheer amount of rare DK referencing in bananza i find it hard to believe that nintendo would've said no outright unless microsoft was trying to wedge a * into the deal

>>717326183
Nintendo's still protective over their IPs being on other systems remember?
They shot down Samus in Fortnite because they didn't want her to be in other games
They shot down Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 having Link and Samus because the devs had them running on other consoles when they made the pitch

>>717326462
ok yeah but that has no relation to just saying "sure you can use donkey kong imagery in a few of the 40th anniversary posts and physical items!"

>>717326183
I think that shitty picture is used as an Xbox theme, which would explain it. It's a shame though, Donkey Kong is such an important piece of their history, they should have at least been able to make a sly reference in the spirit of the DKC2 "No Hopers" trash can.

On one hand, Nintendo would see a profit from Rare or Microsoft or whatever paying money just to have a DK barrel or whatever plastered on physical merchandise or if they got the license to use the music for the record
On the other hand....it's Nintendo
They're really strict about their image and brand and like to keep things done on their terms

I prefer the term "IPlacebo" myself, games featuring content from titles of other parties that are inactive for at least 10 years that are brought up just as a pain suppressor for those asking for new titles out of those series, most of the times with the awareness that such titles will never come

>>717301782
>>717302027
True but given the rising increased costs of game development, the pursuit of creative needs, and the prospect of success with something new it makes sense why a series like say inFamous is dormant when Sucker Punch can only make one game at a time and Ghost of Tsushima was far more successful than both inFamous and Sly Cooper
Getting a new team is possible but sometimes they're simply not available and sometimes they're just not competent

I'm shocked Rare replay isn't on PC considering it and Halo 5 are the last major xbox exclusives left to be ported and Rare Replay on PC would be a money printer although they would have to find some workarounds for the xbox 360 games

REMINDER TO ALL RETARDS IN THIS THREAD: THERE WAS NEVER A COMPANY NAMED RAREWARE

>>717328207
I don't care

>>717328207
Surprisingly only one person called them that in this thread

>>717300708
I know what I said.

>>717294949 (OP)
They should be cool and release the ROMs of Twelve Tales 64, Project Dream SNES and N64 as well as the beta builds of Banjo they have ripped.

>>717318590
JFG has improved controls on Rare Replay. Not to mention that a proper PC port would have mkb.

>>717295262
They should have snuck a banana or something on the floor. It's a shame they're not acknowledging DK in any way.

>>717309392
>The devs said Twelve Tales was mediocre
Yeah sure. It'd still be cool if they released it, might as well considering Tim is just sitting on the fucking prototype.

>>717328573
Hopefully a decade from now we can see something like this (though Banjo in Smash sort of came close) for Rare's 50th

They literally called themselves and marketed themselves as such throughout the 90s.

It's so baffling MS won't do anything with Rare's IPs. Rare hates sequels, blah blah sure but at least do something with those IPs. Killer Instinct was good but quickly dropped. Battletoads fucking blew. That's all.

>12 games for the first Evercade collection
They're definitely doing a second cartridge
What do you think will be in it?

>>717328770
Rareware just meant Rare Software
It was never meant to be their actual name
Nintendo Power never called them Rareware

>>717328787
Microsoft doesn't actively pursue devs for the most part but IIRC Max said they did try to find Killer Instinct a new dev after Iron Galaxy couldn't support it anymore
There were no takers
>Quickly dropped
Nigga it lasted years

>>717299191
You know, for being their most popular female lead that they actually own and isn't a filthy animal Joanna Dark doesn't have that much porn

>>717328787
Everyone has troves of ips they realistically can never use due to labor. Most of rare's are complete trash that should under no circumstance ever be used again anyways. The fact Microsoft did something with battletoads and KI (plus made an attempt at perfect dark) is more than anyone can really ask for. KI will probably come back too.

>>717328901
Yeah and Nintendo Power also called Sigurd Zigludo. They are not a trusted source retard.

>>717329192
Rare never called themselves Rareware
The literal copyright info on their games always called them just Rare
Every press release called them Rare and not Rareware

>Evercade got Glover running on it
I guess the N64 library is good to go I guess

>>717299546
bittersweet.

Would you play a game where Conker was going to AA meetings putting his life back together and acting like a cute mascot again only for him to fall off the wagon and ruin it?

>>717329716
I was thinking a game where Twelve Tales and Bad Fur Day Conker switched places but that idea works as well

>>717297889
Nintendo didn't need money so bad that they intentionally let Rare go.
Nintendo was much more likely just holding out for a better deal. Nobody was expecting Microsoft to come in at the last minute and flip the table.
Nintendo probably did think Rare's hot streak has ended to be fair but its not how its framed by most internet posters, ie. Nintendo directly sold Rare to Microsoft

>>717298216
>Be honest. What do you think is more likely. Nintendo doing a new F-Zero or a new Ice Climbers. Or Playstation doing a new Ape Escape or Gravity Rush?
You couldn't have used worse examples for this, especially fucking Ice Climbers, an ""IP"" nobody cares for even with Smash Bros.

>>717329716
>bojack horseman game
yeah.

Where is the rom,Rare?

>conker stuck in a super cutesy vibrant world like a mix of kirby, mario and kids shows

Would be dope.

>>717328207
Probably shouldn't have put "Rareware" and nothing else on their logo if they didn't want people to think their name was Rareware.

>>717328207

>>717294949 (OP)
Battletoads was created by assholes.

It honestly bothers me that the rom of Dinosaur Planet that was found was from the version where they turned it into a Star Fox game. Sabre deserves his spotlight.
