Why is she smug? Didn't her game get canceled?

the irony

>>717359561
lol

>>717359076

So many dead IPs...like tears in rain...

>>717358909 (OP)

art style looks gross

They forgot to take down their website

Rare doesn't like making endless sequels with diminishing returns
Granted, having not made anything new since Sea of Thieves doesn't make things look better

>>717361306

They just farm stuff out now.

Or they did.

>>717361419
>They just farm stuff out now.
Wasn't always a good thing

>>717361559

Ugh, its painful how badly they missed the point there.

I will say I am grateful that Perfect Dark HD didn't try to retroactively make classic Joanna look like her Zero version and instead just tried to HD-ify the classic 90s Winona Ryder pixie cut look

>>717359076
>a bunch of Conker characters
>no Conker
wtf

>>717361770

....He's next to Banjo.

>>717359076
I just realized Perfect Dark Joanna Dark is Jeanne d'Arc.

>>717361770
Wait who's the character sitting to Banjo's left then?

IT'S PARTY TIME

>>717358909 (OP)
Guess this means they're glad the new one got canceled if they're using the PDZ design

>>717362248
A Quackberry from Viva Pinata

>>717359076
Conker is disturbingly wholesome there.

>>717362529
Other left.

>>717363050
Not that surprising
Even most renders of him post Bad Fur Day emphasize him looking cute

>>717358909 (OP)
would

>>717361559
What else did they farm out? I can't think of anything noteworthy,

>>717366574
Killer Instinct

>>717363050
I recently played Conker again and I realized that for the most part, Conker isn't a scumbag or jerk. He's crude and off putting sure but really it's the rest of the work that's dark and cruel, Conker is usually the one to help out those that are being crapped on like that pitchfork when his friends convinced him to hang himself.

>>717359076
This looks like it was drawn by that one bald animator

>>717367086
Max Gilardi?

>>717358909 (OP)
Why does she have so much of the straw in her mouth?

>>717367838
Yes

she is forgotten

>We're so groundbreaking and revolutionary, maaaan. We're not gonna make anything that's been done before! We're gonna make Everwild! Even WE don't know what kind of game it is man, that's how revolutionary we are!!!
>W-w-wait, what do you mean ten years of dicking around with absolutely nothing to show for it isn't cool? How could you cancel our baby?!?!
Is there any chance at all that cancelling Everwild will kick some sense into current Rare? I know no one from actual Rare is left there, but they've still got the IPs. Like maybe instead of wasting a decade trying to be special snowflakes, they just wise up and spend a couple years making a new Banjo?

...There isn't, is there?

>>717368360
I'm still bummed about Kameo 2 being cancelled. The first was a good idea that could have been great, but ended up being just an alright game. Getting a fair shot and not having to switch development between three fucking consoles could have given us a great Kameo game.

>>717367064
conker is just a british bugs bunny who swears and drinks in the same way the whole game is just a 1940's looney tunes short with more realistic violence. this is why the xbox remake with the realistic fur and replacing the frying pan kinda misses the metajoke.

I mean listen to the fucking soundtrack, if this was just happy tree friends or something they wouldn't do this whimsical big band shit for the first big level

>Cobra from Cobra Triangle
mega based

>>717368385
I mean he is literally front and center in the picture and their most recognizable character. I sincerely doubt Rare themselves make a Banjo game, but they might finally let Toys for Bob or someone else do it.

>>717368631
>who swears
He doesn't actually aside from referencing Aliens

>>717359076
Where's Goldeneye?

>>717369835
They don't own James Bond

>>717368575
Her nose looks like a zit

>>717359076
>No Vela/Juno/Lupus
>No James Bond
>No Kameo girl
>No Donkey/Diddy Kong

>>717371823
Kameo is there as Rubble

>>717358909 (OP)
>NTR smile

>>717373894
you're an idiot

>>717371823
>No Kameo girl
The Kameo girl is named Kameo.

>>717371823
>>No Vela/Juno/Lupus
A Tribal and Floyd are repping the game

one job

>>717371823

Bro those are not their IPs lmao

go bitch at amazon since they bought the rights from Eon

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed, but was it actually Max or has he been too heavily bullied to show public appreciation for video games any more?

>>717380942
Wasn't Max
It was some guy named Dustin Jackson

Cowards.

>>717358909 (OP)
The nuDark game being cancelled is the best vidya thing that happened to me this year
There should never be an update reboot or sequel to the original because there isn't a single fucking person in the industry who can do it justice

>>717361559
>this turd came out 6 years ago
whoooooah buddy.....

>>717381589
Also every promotional thing they did for it showed Zero as the original which was very telling for the sheer trash development behind it
Personally I hope everyone involved dies

>>717381582
They have this art used as an official Xbox background and are using across their social media
They can't legally have James Bond or Donkey Kong
Best they could do would do something like that 40th anniversary controller and have a banana representing DK

Only memorable thing from the game

>>717382332
The game had one likable character
She gets revealed to be leading a death cult

>>717361770
Retard

>>717382332
Why did they basically just make her female neo cortex (not nina)

>>717379725
Good thing Rare doesn't make shotas

>>717381698
man what's even the point

>>717371823
>No James Bond
>No Donkey/Diddy Kong

They clearly wanted to focus on their own original IPs they fully own and are included in Rare Replay.

>>717389278
Kinect Sports is in the pic and isn't in Rare Replay

>>717359076
More like a memorial than a celebration. We aren't seeing any of these IPs back or even new IPs. Sea of Thieves for 100 seasons and more.

>>717359076

wasn't he like in his 20s when he drew this shit?

>>717368385

And sell it to who? The 1,000 people that remember Banjo Kazooie?

This game is so bad it's good. I played it through with two buddies and we had a lively debate about Battletoads as a series, the quality of the game, writing in general (how Rick & Morty ruined a generation of cartoons), etc

>>717358909 (OP)
I thought one of the BK Kids went trans for a second

>>717358909 (OP)
Viva Pinata was ahead of its time and deserves a new entry but they'd probably fuck it all up and make a mobile gacha style game.

Definitely crushing her puss while she's yapping my ear off about her blue fox OC and her adventures on the Dinosaur Planet.

>>717387287
Jet Force Gem?

Good for him, he's on that DK Vine podcast a lot

I got a bendy straw she could suck on if you know what I mean.

Hah, yeah it does look like her doesn't it.

Her being a redhead makes sense now

How bad were the red flags?

Is Nuts & Bolts worth playing? Got RareReplay a while back and I've completed 007, PD and first two Banjo games.

I just about to fucking say. The pose on the pirate woman in the second row and the eyes of the characters really give off his vibes.

>>717400096
It's a one to one clone of fortnite, it's third person and they literally ripped off the art style.

>>717400881
If you like vehicular games sure
