On his CV, a British freelance animator says he is "Currently Working on a AAA Next-Gen Xbox Release Title .. for 2013." In a post on his firm's Facebook page from last September, the animator states that he is "working with Rare … on a new title," but cannot divulge any details due to confidentiality agreements. However, he does generically hint that the game "will be big." Combining these two items together, it doesn't seem unreasonable to infer that Rare is probably making a launch window game for the next Xbox.
TheGamer recently spoke with lead editor Josh Malone and senior translator Dan Sunstrum about their work localising the Like a Dragon series at Sega.
Working as a prequel to the 2019 Dollhouse, Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror will release on Xbox, PlayStation and PC via SOEDESCO
Out now on consoles and PC, Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles aims to be a different type of city builder, but it doesn't quite hit the spot.
When was the last time Rare made a AAA game?
Rare have no soul.
@strongman Thanks, I genuinely couldn't remember.
edit: I hope it's Killer Instinct, one of my fave games on SNES. Wonder if they have it in them to redeem themselves.
That would be good i think. I keep hearing good things about rare from n4g and ign. Hopefully its true so i can see what the buzz is about.
Rare has a completely new team who have started work since 2010 on an action/adventure new AAA ip for next Xbox.
I think they can do amazing things.
Guys um...Rare has gone extinct. The talented staff (arguably the best of their time) at Rare that made those fantastic games have largely moved on. The heart and soul of the Rare is gone and all that is left are fossil records of the studio. Im not saying that Rare will not be able to make great games again all I am saying is that the Rare we all knew and love just doesn't exist anymore.
If rare is reviving old franchises and actually putting good work into them or even new ones, then I'm happy. I just hope the games turn out well.
Their work with their viva pinata games gives me a little hope that the team can still pull off good games.
