For real this time.1985-2026
>>742291907Ok, and how do you know?
>>742291907Who cares they've made nothing of note for decades
Watch them survive the bloodbath just to piss nerds like you off
>Watch them survive the bloodbath just to piss nerds like you off
>>742294165Honestly it pisses me off they haven't been shut down already. Rare died to me back in 2009.
>>742291907Did something happen today?
>>742294486Tomorrow, anon.
Asha the Slasher
2010 you mean.
>>742294665>believing this guy
When was the last time they even make a good game? Conker?
imagine the paradise world we'd live in if nintendo and rare stuck together
>>742295132Viva Pinata
Been dead since like 2001
>>742295132I know it's an unpopular sentiment but I fucking love DK64.
>>742294665>vaguepostinglame
Shart of thieves is the only thing keeping microsoft relevant, no chance
>>742295268and so histrionic
>>742295132sea of thieves. Even if you don't like online play it's still one of the best multiplayer experiences of all time
>>742291907the fact that companies refuse to make sequels of games that are guaranteed to succeed just makes me think that none of it is real and we live in a simulationI get valve not making HL3, they got infinite money and don't give a fuck, but why wouldn't rare just make banjo threeie? Even if they game is going to be a complete shit it would still sell like crazy, it's straight up impossible to not make money with it
>>742295267the DK64 hate is a total meme>too many collectables!!!who has a gun to your head making you 100% the gameI like that there's a bunch of stuff to collect, dont collect them if you dont want to. the requirements to "just" beat the game are very lenient
>>742294665>"I FUCKING LOVE VAGUEPOSTING!!!"
>>742295590I'm a huge tooie fan so "too many collectables" or "too big" is not an issue. I was really into donkey kong country and the cartoon when dk 64 came out. It's just gay, dude. simple as. gay game.
>>742295769How can it be gay when there's a hot monkey babe with huge tits.
>>742295769>It's just gay, dude. simple as. gay game.
>>742295853Berry mogs, and good ending Grunty mogs them both.
damn. should have tried literally making any video games for the past ten years.Or at least like remastering their N64 stuff and putting it on Steam.
it should have been GAME FREAK fuck!
>>742295769faggot retard
>>742295590DK64 and Tooie do have issues with padding. The trade-off is that the actual meat of those games is even better than Banjo Kazooie, if anything.
>>742291907Fantastic news! Rare was never good.
>>742294665>Believing the same man that lied about Duke Nukem Forever being nearly done for 13 years.
The adults who play sot will keep them afloat. It is their forever game and will never stop.t. dating a 34 year old that spends a good chunk of her income on sot skins
>>742295590The collectibles are the main issueThen there's the blatant padding with heavily recycled minigamesThe lack of actual platforming because nearly every ability is context sensitive and switches are mainly used to activate more switches or open paths to minigame barrelsThe excessive amount of long hallways connecting parts of worlds with nothing to do since bananas and balloons are tucked into cornersIt's why the quick swap mod doesn't "fix" the game
Any reason they never just made Diddy Kong Racing 2 (sans Diddy)? Seems an easy enough win. A massively multiplayer online version of Mario Kart, on PC, with Banjo and Conker in it. Throw in the Battletoads and Mr Pants for good measure.
>>742296339>Then there's the blatant padding with heavily recycled minigamesmost of the games are fun, some get repeated, maybe even too many times but this is ultimately a tiny part of the game. if you consider it a flaw, it is hardly relevant.>The lack of actual platforming because nearly every ability is context sensitive and switches are mainly used to activate more switches or open paths to minigame barrelsthere's plenty of real platforming. a fair amount of abilities are glorified switches, but there's nothing inherently wrong with that. if you have a bunch of switches, it's neat to press with them dozens of lovely, unique animations>The excessive amount of long hallways connecting parts of worlds with nothing to do since bananas and balloons are tucked into cornersthat's the reality of loading areas in such huge levels on the n64. also, the banana teleporters let you skip corridors>It's why the quick swap mod doesn't "fix" the gameyeah cuz it's not an issue that needs fixing
>>742296439Kart racing without "Mario" in the title is a niche genre.
>>742295751>waaaaaaah spoonfeed me anon-san
>>742294973this
>>742296570>it's neat to press with them dozens of lovely, unique animationsBe serious for a moment.
>>742296973I am entirely seriouslike the ground pound attack can be upgraded two times, but really all it does is enable you to press different colored switches.but every kong has a different ground pound animation for every level. that's neat.
>>742291907Its was a rotting corpse for more than 20 year, rest in piss
>>742296224>being nearly doneIt really was nearly done considering the leaks that came out not long ago
>>742294973This logo couldn't be less self-aware if it was in Comic Sans
Only trannies hate dk64
There probably hasn't been a single employee that made Banjo Kazooie working for the studio for almost two decadesIt's a completely different company.
>>742296245Does she ever let you swab her poop deck?
Let me know when Rare sells off Kameo and Perfect Dark. I have a whole $5 and I am feeling quite spendthrifty.
>>742294665>Two more weeks, anon.
>>742294665>is going to be supremely unpopularWhat is this guy smoking?Xbox has been on its last legs for a long time.This will kill them off for good.
>>742291907>Sea of Thieves still a valued IP>ZERO mention of any new lay offs for them specificallyPeople only circlejerk their potential death purely because they think Microsoft would sell their IPsThey're fine unless Microsoft takes Sea of Thieves away from them
>>742291907They should have died 20 years ago when most 90s staff left them or got fired by Microsoft.
>>742294665>Xbox will be unpopular for nuking woke studios that sell nothing, (other way to say that nobody actually cares about them)Its very popular with me, Im loving it, it will only lose popularity if they don't pick the ips and give them to newer non woke studios to make good games. Pick the gold bar (popular ip) from the septic tank(woke studio), wash it (fire them) and sell it (make new games like the good old ones), simple formula.
>>742295179Isn't that the game with a 2-hour tutorial instead of just letting you play around and use critical thinking to figure shit out????
>>742291907Good riddance. Fuck uncslop companies.
>>742291907They've been a shambling corpse for over two decades now
>>742297274I hate whimsy and I only want to complete the task. I only play games to see "A" cause "B" and none of the process in between.
>>742291907Microsoft is not that stupid to kill one of the few GAAS that still brings money right?
>>742296214Fuck off, Steve. You're both in, there's no need for this petty shit to go on any longer.
>>742291907They'll be fine
>>742295531>Have so called infinite money>Make profit off sales >Can't subsidize their hardware because Gaben is a jew and wants another yacht to travel to Little St James
>>742296118They're not owned by Microsoft
>>742294665inb4 Rare survives Because they're downsized into a support studio
>>742291907thank fuck, finally, dogshit fucking talentless hacks who got lucky and made a single good game despite themselves, ONCE, exactly once, and it was their completely rookie team being put in the licenseslop mines
>>742295132>conker>goodlmfao, retard
>>742291907>we'll never get viva pinata on steam>probably gonna have to wait another 10 years for a derivative clone that would barely even live up to it
>>742296245>her
>>742308905fuck i totally forgot about (the porn of) that game
>>742308905https://github.com/SolarCookies/TiP-Recomp
>>742308905>viva pinatafuck me I forgot about thiswhy does microsoft hate rare and want them to dieeven this would print money
>>742297491Wrong.
>>742309207They literally allowed Rare to make whatever they want and Rare has HISTORICALLY been keen to move onto new IPs
>>742309819Whether people believe it or not. Rare actually wanted to make kinect shit games lmao.
>>742291907it's like looking at a joke alternate bad timeline, except it's actually the reality we live in
>>742310596It was inevitable for them to make less games as the industry became more complicated and expensiveEven before being bought by Microsoft they kept missing deadlines
>>742310723and yet they decided to place their focus, effort and budget on a mediocre banjo racing spinoff instead of the third mainline game
>>742310859 (me)two of them, actually. kek
>>742310859>racingNuts & Bolts isn't a racing game>the third mainline gameThey ran out of plausible ideas with Tooie
>>742309819>>742310268Considering that Microshit thought they were about to get Donkey Kong, I have NO idea why they didn't then pivot into slapping Rare's shit and telling them "SHUT THE FUCK UP AND MAKE BANJO 3 BECAUSE THAT'S THE NEXT BEST THING WE HAVE TO DONKEY KONG".
>>742310961>Considering that Microshit thought they were about to get Donkey Kong,MisconceptionIt was one guy who wasn't part of the deal who entered Rare's office and got confused when he saw all the Donkey Kong stuff lying aroundMicrosoft never thought they were gonna acquire Donkey Kong by buying Rare
>>742310935you build vehicles and racing makes up a sizable portion of the gameplay, but sure let's instead call it TotK 0 and pretend like this was worth their precious development time
>>742295132sea of thieves is classic rareware, taking a natural playful concept like PIRATES and gamifying it. only problem is they spent near a decade soley focused on it and their next big project that was supposed to move them past it got cancelled.
>>742309207Sea of Thieves is Rare's most profitable games period as well as most profitable new IP for Microsoft The Kinect games as divisive as they are actually probably saved the studio from being closed
>>742310961>>742311014Even if they did end up owning DK they wouldnt have done shit with it
>>742310723fuck off faggot
>>742312516Yeah, all those profits at the cost of everything else.Honestly, they should have went under in 2010. That massive dump of all their assets and art from that time was a concession that they were done. Rare Replay was a hard confirmation they were finished. The only thing you can expect from them at this point is a potential Rare Replay Nintendo Switch 2 Edition and even that should have happened back in 2017, too little too late.
>>742313226It's the truth Even Nintendo has stressed rising development costs slowing down releases both Kameo already got delayedDinosaur Planet got delayed multiple times and became Star Fox Adventures when it went to the GamecubeBanjo Kazooie was an entirely different game altogether when it beganRare's method of designing games was becoming less and less plausible as the tech got harder and harder>>742313220Donkey Kong Racing MIGHT have survived
>no Perfect Dark sequel with a smoking hot Joanna Dark and a ton of fun gadgets to torture goons withFeels sadman, I wonder how the people at Microsoft felt about the reboot with the rock-chewing Joanna Dark.
