You have 5 billion dollars. You decide to buy out the company in its entirety, all their IPs and everything else. You still have a few billion leftover, to make any games you could ever possibly want with neither money nor corporate overlords holding you back.What are the first 1-5 games you'd be making? What changes do you make? What are your grand plans?
>>12223059>You have 5 billion dollarsWith that kinda money I'd be plotting a few assassinations that would indirectly make retro games (and life) better for everyone in the long run.
>>12223059>You still have a few billion leftoverYou already fucked up by this point. Rare and it's properties are worth at most a few million dollars. It's all dead genres and washed up mascot games.
What's the point Rareware is dead ,all the great talents left a long time ago No point in making a shitty return
>>12223071no shit, it's an over-the-top amount of money on purpose for the sake of the hypothetical, a shorthand for money not being an issue to make whatever games you want. Your reading retention skills are poor.>>12223073doomerism is gay
>>12223084Alright if I have to hypothetically make that awful business decision the first thing I would do is shut everything down and liquidate the assets to cut my losses.
>>12223073This, however, if I could buy Chris and Tim Stamper with that money i would sell them to Nintendo for 5 dollars and force them to make a new Donkey Kong Country, a proper Dinosaur Planet where you play as Krystal, a PROPER Banjo-Threeie, Conker game that's fully co-op, and the last game would probably be a Jet Force Gemini sequel or a brand new IP
>>12223059Not retro >>>/v/
>>12223236Founded in '85, and stopped making games worth a shit in '02. It counts.
>>12223059I think it would be important to make a proper sequel to Banjo-Tooie.
>>12223247You're asking about what game you'd make today, therefore off topic because modern gaming
>>12223490not OPthe question he asked alongside the header clearly implies you would buy out the company and make the games within the 90s era
I wanna a direct followup to Diddy Kong Racing and I want Viva Pinata 3.Replaylee was fun as fuck by the way, everyone go play that shit it's legit, they made an okay game into a fucking fantastic one.
If anyone's curious the reason this is in /vr/ is because I'm a fucking dumbass and I straight up thought I posted it in /v/ and I didn't even notice til this fucking secondIt's still on topic.....adjacently.
I'm not making any games. i bought them to end their scourge of slop once and for all. I'm dissolving the company and sitting on the IPs.
>>12223247that was when they started making a game worth a shit as well. it's starfox adventure. everything before and after is garbge.
>>12223832>I'm a fucking dumbass and I straight up thought I posted it in /v/don't worry the line gets blurrier every day
>>12223059Buy Treasure and start off with making a sequal to Ikaraga on Dreamcast using real GD roms filled up to the max 1 gb.Make Genesis games but enhance them with 32x support, some editions of the games will include a clone of the 32x.After this make Snes games too.
>>12223125or make new IP about Futanari no Elf
>>12223069Good idea. But Im interested how the hell would you do that? The boorish masses only whats hot new shit their hyped up to buy. They dont care about art or actually playing games, only consuming. Its in nature. Kira'ing a few politicians isnt going to stop that.
>>12223069based
I buy them and do nothing of value with them, but at least I killed the competitiont. microsoft
>>12223059I'd make games centered around my OCs from the ideas swirling around in my head but never work on because I'm no dev
I would probably just start my own studio and bring back movie tie in games if I had to do something gaming related. Or I guess whoever owns square and name a chrono trigger sequel and declare cross non canon
rare peaked in their microcomputer days desubut blast corps was breddy gud
>>12223059At what time frame would this happen? If it's in the 00s, I'd liquidate their assets and invest all of it in Apple stocks (early 00s), then crypto (2010 onwards), then AMD stocks (circa 2014). Then go live in Madeira (island climate would help with my allergies, and there's an internet backbone line passing through the island so I'd have 10 gbit internet as early as the 2010s) and and live off of the dividends for the rest of my life. Maybe invest in the places I live at for a little bit, just so I can convince the cops to ignore that I pirate shit from the internet, dunno how lenient they are about that in the area.
>>12223059Build a new Rareware game engine. Build Next Gen games of Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, and Star Fox. Several other remastered and updated classics. Keep prices relatively low and sell with nostalgia with volume margins. Rapid release cycle releases. Every IP gets their own team. Start churning out a few games per year. One title per IP every 2 to 3 years on a rolling cycle so people don't get tired of it. Revive the business in a country that allows this without laws about diversity. Hire all the devs remotely from the US. Start developing new IPs using similar vibes to the old games without allowing anyone that's not white, over 30, and male anywhere near any of the projects.
>>12223059>What are the first 1-5 games you'd be making?Banjo-ThreeieA proper remake of ConkerNew online kart racerNew Star Fox in the same vein of Star Wars BattlefrontAnd a new Killer Instinct>What changes do you make?Internally, >>12226601's ideas along with rekindling the relationship with Nintendo. Timed exclusives, exclusive platform content, deals, etc.>What are your grand plans?To save gaming.
>>12223059donkey kong porn game 1-5
>>12223059I would love a good Perfect Dark game
>>12223059Conker Goin' Medieval, most likely or something set in the Conker world but not about him per se.Pantherman Racing/Donkey Kong Racing.Ehhh, probably some Candy Kong/Dixie Kong and Berri Standalone game because sex sells.
Don't buy rare, buy private jet, go to OP's father's house, kick him in the balls and tell him to make sure his son doesn't make this thread.
I have no other thread to put this in but I don't feel like this is significant enough for a new one: we now know what Fungus Forest's Banjo-Kazooie incarnation looked like.https://x.com/Ghoulyboy/status/1998099463311937826
>>12223059Nekkid.Goldeneye.
>>12223059Videogame developers are only as good as the people working there. It's pointless to buy a company for its "IP"... that's just marketing.But, let's pretend that buying a company's IP properties meant you magically obtained the developers who created those IPs, not only that, but those developers are magically age regressed back into their primes. I would get them to create an updated and expanded version of Cobra Triangle.
>>12234367Damn, these are clean sketches!
Oh you don't wanna know
>>12223059Battletoads cart racing gameBattletoads fighting gameBattletoads RPGBattletoads puzzle gameBattletoads golf game
>>12234367wait wait wait wait waitThe story for ages was that beta-Clanker's was Fungi Forest?
>>12236658Nope. Clanker was always a separate level that just used Fungus Forest's music as a placeholder, causing that misconception.
>>12223059>What are the first 1-5 games you'd be making?wouldn't be making anything. everyone would be fired except for david wise and a new business would be created under a new name to make games that aren't specifically designed for obese and retarded children
>>12234367Gregg said in the thread that it isn't Fungus Forest...
