Ms dont need to say it. Action speaks louder than words. Im not even blaming MS. Im blaming Rare.

WTF. It’s not Rare that said that either!

Because super mario 64 is the same game as galaxy or Odyssey.

Bamjo can reinvent itself. Collecthons dont have to be collecthons like they were in the 90s

I wont listen to anyone who thinks banjo shouldnt have another game. Ms have nothing in that space.

I’m not saying MS shouldn’t make another game, I just don’t there’s as big an audience for these types of games as people expect, GP or not, outside of the Nintendo platform at least

and sure, the could reinvent it but that alone is extremely risky as you risk alienating the people that wanted it just like the OG games

Rare don’t want to make the same stuff over and over, quite frankly that’s something that should be commended, unless you’re talking about the quote that started all this which, once again, wasn’t Rare so regardless, none of this is on Rare

I think the best chance we have of getting another Banjo is if the Activision/Blizzard/King deal goes through. Toys for Bob seems like an adequate studio to take on the challenge.

Rare didn’t say anything though, it was a former dev giving his opinion on how he thinks the head if Rare thinks on the subject.

Phil Spencer and Xbox higher ups are all aware they need more kid friendly games, even if Rare is not making it, there’s someone out there that likely already is. Heck, People Can Fly could be making the game, it would be new ground for them sure but It could happen!maybe!

VAULT 76 CHANGES

We’ve made changes to the base game experience for players freshly starting their game in Vault 76. Since Fallout 76 launched five years ago, there have been numerous gameplay changes and improvements, and now we’re giving new players a way to jump straight into the action in future updates.

We’ve broken down the changes into three sections; What we added, what we changed, and what we fixed.

NEW ADDITIONS

GENERAL

• Players can now choose to start at Level 20. This gives them starter weapons, ammo, armor, perk packs, various survival supplies, and pre-filled loadouts.
• We’ve placed a donation box outside of Vault 76 for players to help one another
• Two new perks have been added, Arms Keeper and Stable Tools
  • Arms Keeper: Reduces Weight of Rifles (25%, 50%, 75%)
  • Stable Tools: Automatic Melee Weapon Durability Bonus (10%, 15%, 20%)
• There are now level 10 versions of T-45 and Raider Power Armor.
• We’ve added a “New” filter when viewing Perk Cards.
• We not give a warning to players under level 50 trying to enter Daily Ops

WORKBENCH CHANGES

• All workbench lists use alphabetical sorting.
• Item names in workbench are standardized across all lists.
• Show unlockable button now shows recipes you can learn through a plan, scrapping, or can purchase in the Atomic Shop.
• Unlearned recipes show the name of the plan you need, what item to scrap, or lets you buy it from the store.
• 1-star legendary mods no longer show up under “Random Legendary Mods”. 2- and 3-star mods now display correctly under “Current Mods” when inspecting an item.
• Improved the learned mod counter.

NEW DESIGN CHANGES

• We’ve lowered the level requirements for Various Perk cards.
• Added more default C.A.M.P. recipes for all players.
• Rebalanced combat in Morgantown and Summerville
• Replaced the Liberator Bots outside of Vault 76 with Feral Ghouls.
• Lowered the frequency of enemy attacks on the player’s C.A.M.P.
• Adjusted the Gun-Fu Perk effect and text description
• The bugs have been exterminated, and mysterious construction has begun at the Gilman Lumber Mill.
• Renamed over 600 C.A.M.P. Items.
• Removed the Hunter/Hunted radio station and event.
• Good with Salt description accurately states the effects of the modification. The Refrigerated mod does not stack with the perk.
• Grenadier perk now applies to Gauss weapons.
• Players will no longer receive Legendary Power Armor pieces as rewards from Events and Quests until level 20.
• Legendary creatures no longer mutate at 50% Health to have Health regeneration, but instead have 60% increased Health.
• Various changes to health, resistances, and weapon damage for the following creatures: Super Mutant, Protectron, Mole Rat, Mr.Handy/Gutsy, Feral Ghoul, Scorched, Glowing One, Assaultron, Mirelurk King, Mirelurk Crab, Cave Cricket, Radscorpion, Angler, Floater Flamer, Floater Freezer, Floater Gnasher, Mutant Hound, Liberator, and Mirelurk Hunter.
• Reduced the amount of pop-up information upon exiting the Vault.
• Increase Aid items in low-level quest rewards and challenges.
• Daily Ops rewards prioritize giving un-learned recipe rewards to players. Once all recipes are learned, players will start getting repeats.
• Other players can no longer steal your CAMP’s bone chimes

BUG FIXES AND IMPROVEMENTS

• Adjusted the terrain around the Moonshine Jamboree event, and fixed an issue that could cause the event to fail when depositing Gulper Venom with a few seconds left on the timer.
• Fixed various Excavator Power Armor inconsistencies.
• Rad Scorpion Omelets now heal Formula P addiction.
• The Carnivore Mutation now works with the Cannibal perk.
• Fixed an issue preventing players from V.A.T.S targeting extra-large creatures from a distance.
• Fixed an issue causing combat groups to persist over long distances, keeping the player in combat.
• Fixed melee Power Attacks sometimes not registering as Power Attacks.
• The Imposter Sheepsquatch area of attack can no longer damage players who are out of sight of it.
• Fixed an issue where a player could become stuck in the Vertibird post Expedition.

But what did the “action” speak? Yooka Laylee was rather mid and not a lot of people cared. Was this also Rare’s fault?

Exactly.

[ShinMegamiTenseiX]

@BRiT

WTF. It’s not Rare that said that either!

Im talking about abandoning their IPs over the last 15 years. I wonder how much persuation it took for them to hand kver Perfect Dark. I bet phil begged them. Thats just what i think of Rare.

Going full on live service and not caring to make the games that made you in the first place.

Why is Rare only wanting to work on original IP a bad thing?

They gave their blessing to Perfect Dark and worked with Dlala on Battletoads. They made Rare Replay and were involved in Banjo being in Smash. They haven’t abandoned their IPs.

Sea of Thieves is a bigger success than any Rare game ever and that was a new IP.

[BadNews]

I’m in the camp that rare shouldn’t work on old IPs if they don’t want to. I think they should license out IPs to studios that want to work on IPs

[MrEvil37]

@BadNews

Agreed. Which is exactly what they did with PD and Battletoads and exactly what they will do for Banjo.

[Vivir]

Studios change internally over the years. Rare isn’t Rare anymore and that’s not a bad thing. That’s just the reality of the passage of time.

Especially when the Studio is open to different types of games they want to make.

They are a new Rare, which is just as valid and worthwhile as old Rare.

Also, some people there have been around for a long time. Louise O’Connor, for example (Executive Producer of Everwild) has been there for 24 years and Gregg Mayles is also there (although I think he left and then came back).

Exactly. I’ve never really played the old Rare games so this new Rare is essentially my Rare lol.

I doubt those old IP’s that people love will remain dormant forever though. I’m sure the right studio will get their hands on them.

Dude, stop posting cringe

Studios shouldn’t be forced to keep making the games that you personally want them to make, especially when the games they are wanting to make are many times more successful than any of the games fans are wanting to bring back like Conker and Banjo

We also don’t know how protective of the IPs Rare really are but the fact they’ve allowed KI, Battletoads and Perfect Dark to live again suggests they are ok with it provided somebody has a good pitch, maybe nobody has offered something worthwhile

They shouldn’t just bring back something for the sake of it

[CallMeCraig]

You want the ‘old Rare’ back? Ok, then let us unite in the fight for Knight Lore 2!

[Joe_Sinister1 (Joe_Sinister)]

Didn’t that NateDrake guy say that a new Banjo was supposedly in development, recently? Is he reliable?

[Staffy]

@Joe_Sinister1

Was that NateDrake? I thought it was someone else, hmmm. It was last year, that rumor iirc. Hope it is actually happening. There is no reason to let the bear and bird lie dormant. Spyro and Crash trilogy and then Crash 4 really showed that.

Thats a hyperbole. Sot in retail lainch period did woefully. Yes its a hugely succesful now after huge amount of time and commitment but its a completely different type of game.

Its not for the sake of it. Im saying even x devs should be talking about no market. If he said that it means they felt like that before

I think the real issue is Rare dont want to make banjo the way people want. Hence the reason they felt annoyed by Nuts and bolts reception.
