What are the chances we'll see something Rare related besides Sea of Thieves at E3?
Banjo Threeie perhaps
>>339186137
Not a chance
>>339185359
I wouldn't bet on it.
>>339186137
when hell freeze over
Not very high. If anything, maybe a tease. If Sea of Thieves is still set for 2016, expect it to be shown in full.
>>339186576
>>339186853
Kirkhope's Twitter and some of his interviews seem to hint at it. A new Banjo could compete with Yooka Laylee.
>>339187536
Not at all could it compete with Yooka Laylee. I'm not even that hyped for Y-L, but at least it's the actual B-J devs making it
>>339187536
I doubt they're working on it, m8. And even if they are, the majority of the original banjo team is working on yooka laylee, and the only one actually still at rare; greg mylees, is working on Sea of thieves.
>>339185359
>What are the chances
s-rare
>>339187536
>>339187689
Betting that there's going to be an Xbox only level pack featuring a playable Banjo-Kazooie taking on Yooka-Laylee in some 4th wall breaking shenaningans with the xbone version of Yooka-Laylee.
Of course, no one has said the obvious yet. This has to be the year.

>>339185359
Fighting Froggos seems like a good bet.
>>339185359
Have they even shown Sea of Thieves footage yet that isn't pre-rendered?
>>339188732
The original trailer was in game and they showed in engine clips on their twitter.
>>339187747
>>339187536
This. Even if Microsoft Rare tries to compete by making Banjo-Threeie or or anything involving the bear and bird, they got no chance on making an actual good game compared to what the true rare team can do. They're too focused on appealing to the Cawadoodie kiddies to even bother, or just vomit pile of shit like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQeOYi3Be5Y
Maybe a new Battletoads, seeing as there are some rumors and musings from the Rare devs on KI about it, and Rash being in KI definitely helped to boost interest.
Part of me is expecting something to do with Banjo, due to Yooka-Laylee showing there's still obvious interest in the franchise, but I'm sure most people will probably still stick with Y-L anyway. We don't want another repeat of what happened with Nuts and Bolts...
I'm expecting just Sea of Thieves though. Probably full on gameplay and a release date.
who cares? all the good Rare devs are working on YookaLaylee
>>339190202
Only 2 or 3 people from the original team are working on it, excluding Kirkhope's music contributions. Microsoft could easily outdo Playtonic if they gave the the current Rare the freedom (and funds) to compete.
>>339191516
Rare is no more
>>339185359
War Amphibians most likely
What would a modern Battletoads be like anyway?
>>339189287
>appealing to the Cawadoodie kiddies
That's Sony's job now
>>339192631
Some kind of beat em' up platformer that has different gimmicks every level.
>>339192818
So two dead genres put together and a load of gimmicks?
>>339185359
Yooka-Layla
>>339191516
It's not about freedom or resources, it's about wanting to do it.Rare doesn't want to do it, everyone who left Rare to join Playtonic clearly does.
>>339195184
The people who jumped to Playtonic also left because they didn't see a future for Rare. They didn't ever expect the big "Dream" project to be greenlit
>>339193791
I described the NES game
>>339195348
Yeah, but what would a modern Battletoads be? Arcade-like things work great for downloadable titles, but what would AAA Battletoads look like?
>>339195590
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARHVKZ5K1b0
Like this but with Battletoads
>>339185359
I'd say the chances are so slim it's basically 0%

>>339185359
Very low.
Battletoads is the only thing I can see making a comeback, and it would probably just be a small digital-only release. Battletoads is literally a meme game. It wasn't that good
>>339195297
That's my point, can you really see a good BK revival come out of that situation?
Seems stupid to say that passion and dedication could be outdone with Microsoft resources when that's really not what it's about.
>>339196434
>It wasn't that good
Nah fuck you, Battletoads is still one of the best and most ambitious games on the NES. I dare you to find a game on the same system that has as much variety as Battletoads.
>>339196332
Think again. Sea of Thieves marked Rare's return to being bold, adventurous and new.
What they also have to show, well, lets just say it will be announced with a rhyme.
>>339192657
no they appeal to the "muh cinematic experience" faggots.
>>339196650
>Rare's return to being bold, adventurous and new.
>multiplayer pirate ship game
>bold, adventurous and new
wew. if this is new means for Rare, then it's got no chance in hell
Rare is currently putting all their manpower towards Sea of Thieves so if anything else gets announced it'll probably be a small XBLA title. Banjo Threeie is not happening as proved by Yooka Laylee and Sea of Thieves.
What I hope to see is if another old Rare IP gets a reboot by a different studio that looks as good as Killer Instinct.
>>339185359
Battletoads and maybe Banjo Threeie.
I honestly hope the Sea of Thieves project is more than just a mmo too. Kinda getting tired of these online only experiences.
>>339196631
Anon please, I love Battletoads but Super Mario Bros 3 has more variety and much better graphics and music.
>>339197418
>Mario 3
>variety
It's a platformer at it's base.
>>339197572
ffs
It's a DAMN fine platform game.
There's a chance. They have 3 dev teams and 2 of those are working on Sea Of Thieves. Also they recently hired a bunch of people looking for people who had experience with an engine that is different than the one SoT is using
>>339187689
>but at least it's the actual B-J devs making it
You mean it has actual Nuts and Bolts devs making it. The only ones who didn't work on Nuts N Bolts are just fucking artists.
>>339197276
It's not an mmo.
People have only being saying that cause the names appear on top of players heads like an MMO. It's a shared world game like Destiny, hopefully better than Destiny.
>>339197276
SoT isn't an MMO. They described it as a "shared world adventure game" but who knows what the fuck that actually means.
>>339185359
I'd say it's almost certain we'll see Yooka-Laylee
Forget Rare. Yooka Laylay is where it's at.
>>339198170
Why not both?
>>339198170
Yooka-Laylee is BY Rare, or at least "everyone who was ever involved in making a good game at Rare"
>>339198170
I'm more interested in Rare's pirate game desu senpai. Always wanted to see Gregg Mayles do a pirate game so it's my dream come true.
But that plus yooka is win win for me.
>>339198170
I don't trust that much in Kickstarter projects.
There are rumors and hints for a new Battletoads made by Rare.Even someone in neogaf leaked it along with Sea of Thieves.
>>339198310
>everyone who was ever involved in making a good game at Rare
You're either literally retarded or a shill. They have like 3 people that actually did anything big for Rare like Sutherland, Steve Mayles, and Kevin Bayliss, but most of the people are either QA or artists which means jack shit since Rares art style has always been trash. They're still missing like 75 percent of the good people that were at Rare like Greg Mayles, Stamper Brothers, Chris Seavor, Robin Beanland, Martin Hollis, Peter Beanland, and a handful of other people.
>>339199142
>Chris Seavor
>working on BK
are we on a ruse cruise now? I didn't know there still existed Rare apologists.
>>339185359
They haven't had a good game in 17 years anon
Let go.
>>339196998
What other multiplayer pirate ship games are there?
>>339198496
The idea of a modern battletoads used to scare me cause of how they would handle the style of it.
But, I really love Rash in Killer Instinct. More of him aint a bad thing, especially with good gameplay.
>>339199538
there are enough ship combat games to make it uninteresting to me at least.
>>339199442
Say that to my face in real life and see what happens
>>339198170
thanks doc
>>339199142
>Rares art style has always been trash.
Art style has always been the only thing Rare had going for it.
Most of their games had utter trash gameplay. They were beloved for their style, their writing, their characters and their music. And that's who left Rare.
So what's left? They already did their Donkey Kong Country reboot, what other games did they make that anyone gives a shit about? Goldeneye/PD aged like milk, everything good about Banjo packed up and left for Yooka Laylee, and Killer Instinct was a third-tier game that already got a third-tier reboot.
Rare-at-M$ will forever be the team that shat out Kinect games for a generation. Whatever made them magic is either dead or jumped ship for other opportunities. All they are now is a hollowed-out husk of a name.
>>339199624
Usually you have one person controlling one ship, though. Not multiple people crewing a ship.
>>339199442
Viva Pinata is in their top 5 games dudeI also didn't hate Nuts & Bolts.
>>339200010
>Not multiple people crewing a ship.
guns of icarus
>>339199142
In fairness, the Stampers aren't with Rare anymore, Hollis hasn't been for a long time, and nobody gives a shit about Beanland if Kirkhope is around.
So yeah, YL got everyone who was still AT Rare that was worth a fuck.
>>339200117
>usually
You can also add Hazeron if you include spaceships.
>>339200413
Did Beanland work on BK? I only know him for the Killer Instinct stuff.
>>339200413
>A programmer/voice of KI announcer
>Lead designer of the original Killer Instinct games, IE Rares worst games that aren't on the ZX Spectrum
>One of the two original designers of B&K
>Everyone who was at Rare that was worth a fuck
>>339200846
Beanland didn't do Bk. He's more known for the fantastic Conker BFD/LaR soundtrack which he won a BAFTA for.
I also believe he cowrote Conker as well, but I maybe wrong.
>>339200954
>The programmer and voice of Banjo and Kazooie
ftfy
>>339185359
Rare working on something besides Sea of Thieves? Slim to none.
A Rare franchise being worked on by a different developer? Decent chance, probably Battletoads.
>>339200954
>lists 3 people
>15 people went to Playtonic when it started
>they snapped up more since the YL KS
>didn't even mention Kirkhope
>didn't even mention Wise
WHO IS LEFT AT RARE, anon.
I'm being serious. What great creative mind is left?
>>339201385
Well, you've got Gregg, although I'm not sure anyone trusts him anymore after Nuts & Bolts.
>>339201385
Louise O'Connor. Got to meet her a couple of months ago, she's really cool.
>>339201579
didn't she voice Berry?
>>339199550
As long as the developers know what makes Battletoads memorable (and a good budget), I believe we could a great game. I think that a modern Battletoads could use a GodHand gameplay-style mixed with a lot of genres (shooters, racers, 2d bet em up...)
>>339201752
Yeah, the sunflower and Jugga too
>>339187689
It's the nuts and bolts team that are making yokka. It's the biggest bait and switch I've seen and everyone fell for it.
.look at the artwork and compare it to nuts and bolts. It's the same thing. For fucks sake !

Yup. Was really weird hearing her in person.

>>339202680
We already got that. HoloLens exclusive.
>>339202680
Well no shit you silly sonygger
>>339202742
This is what irks me about people's criticisms against Rare. I really hope the new hands prove them wrong, a lot of good talent there.
>>339202884
I don't think you blame anyone for being down on the current Rare.
I don't know. I just hope Sea Of Thieves is good. After playing through Uncharted 4 I have a hankering for a fun pirate game that isn't AC4.
