Rare forced it. The Stampers wanted to cash out and have Nintendo buy their 51% share of the company to make them 100% Nintendo owned. Nintendo didn't want to buy a western studio that had its own dev culture they would now have to manage, so they turned it down. The Stampers sold their stake to Microsoft and Nintendo sold the rest now that they were only part owners of what was now a competitor's studio.

you might not like this anon, but Rare was already starting to throw stinkers way before the whole buyout thing, and in my honest opinion Conker was the canary in the coalmine, yeah everyone loves conker and its story, adult themes and humor, but if you take off all of that, there is just a very mediocre game left, like im not even joking or being an ironic asshole when i say that conker gameplay is the prime example of the clunkiness meme, and after that what we got? dinosaur planet apparently was good but putting a star fox skin on it ruined it according to many people, grabbed by the ghoulies? the conker remake? look how they botched it after they left nintendo.
Rare was dying and nintendo knew, many people claim that nintendo not buying rare killed their run for the gamecube, but honestly i believe they just dodged one of many bullets in that botched generation.

For the love of God can someone give Burnout (ANY entry) the BallisticNG treatment already. It can't be that hard right. Any of the Burnout games is so goddamn simple. Burnout doesn't deserve to die in a ditch like this
>>
>>742089748
Burnout is one of those games that looks braindead simple until you actually try to copy it and realize 90% of it is invisible tuning. The crash physics, traffic placement, rubberbanding, boost economy, track width, camera shake, takedown angles, all that shit has to be perfect or it just feels like some Unity asset racer with cars exploding.

Three Fields proved that "we have the old devs" doesn't mean anything if the budget and QA aren't there. Burnout 3/Revenge were lightning in a bottle and EA is sitting on the corpse because it can't be turned into a live service slop trough.

Even Paradise is one of a kind, especially in light of how modern racing games (and even Criterion themselves) always fuck up when copying its style of open world. Paradise hasn't used the open world to its fullest potential yet, and in a different world where we got Burnout 6, maybe they'd develop and polish the formula even more, like what they did to Burnout 2 with 3. But nooooooo, NFS just had to take priority and they fucked it all up and now BOTH franchises are dead in the water and fuck me I'm just so goddamn fucking MAD I just want to race goddamnit

You know something is going to be shit when they pull out some popular devs name who worked on a hit from 30 years ago. Specifically the Diablo or WoW team. They always get namedropped in some new game and it always ends up shit.

But the reality is every studio.
The turnover rate is high in video game studios. The smart ones can leave for greener pastures at a moment's notice. Why would anyone take a 33% paycut to work in an industry that has crunch times.
My buddy worked for iron galaxy studios. Now he works for raytheon. His starting salary almost doubled over night. He doesn't have 100 hour work weeks anymore and he can take vacations. Only a fool would stay a video game developer, especially after realizing that auteurs can't be made anymore and people stopped caring about individual talent on a team.
