RUMOR: Rare Developing A Racing Title For Xbox 720

Ever since the Summer of last year to-date, Rare has been on a bit of a hiring spree, having consistently employed new and veteran individuals talented to developing video games. One user over at NeoGaf has taken a deeper look into those hires and noticed a very intriguing pattern: Rare has hired plenty of developers that have experience in the racing genre. Take a look…

Would be Megaton for MS if true. Anyway,All eyes are definitely on MS event in April now. Sony has clearly not impressed me with what they can do with their gaming system, so it's now all up to MS to either deliver the goods in April event...

Kinect 2.0 racing exclusives is what I am predicting.

microsoft is not done with its casual customers yet and rare is rumored to be working on a kinect game while black tusk is doing the core games work.

But I cant wait until microsoft show what they are showing, I am still excited to see more next gen stuff even though I know microsoft will more than likely disappoint me.

Aren't most non-SIM racing games considered casual?

Megaton over a racing game ? OK ! whatever makes you happy I guess ? xD LOL LOL LOL LOL !

MYSTERIO3604060d ago (Edited 4060d ago )

MS would have to bring back a lot of franchises for me to reconsider getting their system again, such as:
-Amped
-Blinx
-Brute force (awesome game)
-Conker: live and reloaded 2
-Crimson sea
-Fusion Frenzy
-Mechassault (great game)
-NBA inside drive
-NFL Fever
-Tao Feng: Fist of the Lotus (great game)

.....Rare has been hard work at work at a new exciting i.p., (you can feel the tension in the air)...... Kinect............Karting....

Jokes aside, while a new racing game would be cool but I would rather like a new plat-former. You see the sad thing is that Rare is now just a name, most of the original crew have left the studio.

BitbyDeath4060d ago (Edited 4060d ago )

It's already been announced that their next game is a nextgen kinect title so you might be right.

Will be interesting how they pull it off.

JeffGUNZ4060d ago

Rare is broken down to 3 studios. All 3 are not working on the same games. Well, hopefully not lol

pain777pas4060d ago

Scary thing is you could be close to being right. I think that it is some sort of kart racer that will be modnationesque. It will be good because Rare did make Diddy Kong racing. If it is not a kart racer than it is pointless because they still have the PGR brand. Come to think of it they could make some sort of PGR spin off karting game. Who knows? If true I am intrigued because it is Rare and they still have developer name clout for me.

FriedGoat4060d ago

Rare are not the good Rare of old. I can't even remember the last good game Rare made, Conkers bad fur day probably.

StrongMan4060d ago

This is that Kinect title that RARE were rumored to be working on.

QuantumWake4060d ago (Edited 4060d ago )

Hmm, could be this one huh?

http://cloud.attackofthefan...

Though this one is rumored to be a PGR title. We'll see what they have to show off come MS press conference for the next Xbox.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker1h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos7h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto7h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger886h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
