Xbox Game Studios |OT10| Here are the games

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

Also, if MS want’s to give an ip to another studio they do it. It’s not like rare could stop it lol. I doubt they would even care.

@ShinMegamiTenseiX

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

The guy who said this hasn’t work for Rare in forever, whatever he thinks has nothing to do with Rare

@ShinMegamiTenseiX

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.

Whatever the reason, they clearly don’t want to work on anything Banjo related which I’m sure is a shame for fans but not something that should be held against them

@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

Yeah at this point it’s up to Xbox to find studios that would be happy to pick up the torch. If this Activision mess sorts itself out, then Toys for Bob would be an interesting fit for Banjo-Kazooie.

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.

Yeah I checked, he said so on other Era. Not sure how reliable he is but I’ve heard him mentioned a number of times.

Personally, I have zero interest in Rare, Banjo and Conker. However, I do believe that Microsoft should acquire PlayTonic and let them remake the original Banjo game but with full voice acting and amazing graphics ala Ratchet & Clank 2016. That would be great in my opinion and would give the fans what they’ve been wanting for over a decade.

I agree that studios shouldn’t be forced to work on certain IP’s and whatnot, however, as a gamer and as a fan, it also depends on what studios end up working on instead of going back to what they once did. For example, im an Arkane fan and loved Dishonored and want Dishonored 3. Instead, I get Prey, Deathloop and Redfall since then. Two games I ignored because they’re not for me and the one game I did play and complete (only because of Game Pass) was Redfall which I rated a generous 7.0/10 and is my lowest ranked (#31) completed game of the generation.

A second example is Tango Gameworks. I loved The Evil Within 1 and 2. No interest in Ghostwire Tokyo and to be perfectly honest, it should have been cancelled because once the lady who created it left, what’s the point? Hi Fi Rush is a great 8.5/10 game in my opinion but isn’t what I want from Tango Gameworks. I want The Evil Within 3. Plus, survival horror is the HOTTEST it’s been in a long ass time. I mean come on.

Sometimes, IT IS about giving fans what they want because it shows even if it’s just a handful of people who want these games, actually doing them and releasing them shows that even the few fans matter and are important and above all else, gives hope that the ONE game or franchise YOU want actually has a chance of coming back.

Granted, we’re getting Fable and Perfect Dark at some point which is great and all but with Microsoft owning so much classic IP’s, they need to dive more into that back catalog in my opinion.

I know you’re pretty set in your ways, but give Ghostwire a try

Haha. I’m definitely set in my ways. lol

I have watched several reviews for Ghostwire and no commentary walkthroughs for the first hour or two and it just doesn’t appeal to me.

Agreed. I watched a little of Death Stranding years ago and was like, looks great, audio is probably top tier and story/characters is probably real good and has a great cast but then I see the gameplay and combat and im like, no thanks, im good. lol

No clue how good the DLC is going to be, but I said F it and purchased the early edition. Also, I am buying the early edition for Forza

Eight weeks from today for me with the Premium Edition. 56 days to be exact.

Looking forward to it but first things first - wrap up FF XVI, then Remnant 2 followed by Atlas Fallen.

The expansion and the 5 days Early Access is why I decided to just pre-order the Premium Edition. Besides, there’s no way im getting through the game with a single monthly rental via Game Pass. lol
