Chris Seavor - the man behind Rare's infamous Conker's Bad Fur Day on the Nintendo 64 - has revealed in an interview with Not Enough Shaders that he's considering the possibility of developing for the Wii U eShop.
Before Rare was purchased by Microsoft and absolutely crushed everything near and dear to many fans’ hearts by releasing Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, they were releasing absolute bangers for all of their favorite Nintendo consoles. Well apparently to the creator of Conker, the return of Rare IP to Nintendo platforms is going to happen sooner or later.
Microsoft ruined Rare they where on top of there game when they where with Nintendo
Lets hope this Rumor is true
As long as Microsoft owns Rare they'll never create games like that again. They can reuse the names but the games will never be as good.
Rare was definitely better under Nintendo. The years of making Kinect games I’m sure made a lot of the talent leave. What a waste
Perfect Dark was first released for the Nintendo 64 with a prequel later released for the Xbox 360 as Perfect Dark Zero. Rare started to work on a sequel to the first Perfect Dark which went through some different iterations before dropping with Chris Seavor, the game designer for Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
Unfortunately, I believe it was Rare’s tardiness and unorganized development practices that lead to Perfect Dark: Core failing to take-off. As evidenced by Rare Replay video docs, Rare worked on numerous projects from 2005 to 2010 that failed to make it to full development. If Perfect Dark: Core had been released in 2009 the game may have had a chance to increase both Microsoft’s and player interest in its franchise.
Perfect Dark Zero, despite their being many negative perceptions of the title was a fairly successful and popular FPS on Xbox live until Halo 3 and COD 4 came out in 2007. The Perfect Dark franchise got shelved by MS due to Rare’s procrastination and the franchisee not being as successful as Gears of a War and Halo. Also the FPS market on consoles got very competitive during the 2010s.
I don't think it will happen, but I think Microsoft working with Human Head Studios on Perfect Dark would be the way to go. We've seen what they did with Prey and were doing with Prey 2 before Bethesda cancelled the game, so I think they could be a smart choice to bring back the world of Perfect Dark.
Playing perfect dark on 360 was fun to me, at that time I didn’t have internet so playing against all those bots made me feel like I did lol 😝
The prequel sucked to me I didn't really like it if Microsoft announced Perfect Dark 2 and Conker 2 at e3 I'd be happy I'm actually getting tired of Halo, Gears, and Forza good games but c'mon get new ips.
Perfect Dark was my 2nd favorite N64 game. Too bad they never made the sequel. That laptop gun was amazing.
The creator of Conker's Bad Fur Day on the unforgiving task of promoting his latest indie game
Its just a take off of the phrase "any press is good press" the problem is thats no longer the case with regards to video game reviews. Awful reviews can kill a game before its even released.
So you're OK making a terrible games?
Yeah I mean screw the customer who paid money for a bad game, as long as your content right Chris?
for a second i thought conkers bad fur day was coming to the wii u eshop
The only game the creator of Conker's Bad Fur Day should be making is Conker's Bad Fur Day 2.
Seriously, this needs to happen.
but it be block for being m rated by Nintendo
Just one step closer for Rare coming back to Nintendo. I would love for Chris and a lot of the other old core team members to just reform under a new name with Nintendo again.
