Kinect Sports Rivals could be Xbox One's Mario Kart, says Rare - lots of free DLC planned

Rare's Simon Woodroffe wants Kinect Sports Rivals to be among the first games you buy for an Xbox One - even a few years after launch. The developer has extensive plans for post-release support, he told OXM at a recent preview event, and hopes that the game's cuddly aesthetic will stand the test of time.

Seriously? A Banjo driving game is gonna be more suitable than this game.

Trekster_Gamer3846d ago

Yeah all the time you have spent playing this game you really know don't you..

Wizziokid3847d ago

I can't see this having anywhere near the success of Mario Kart, sorry Rare.

Bigpappy3846d ago

It will no doubt do very well, but Mario well is dreaming. To be fair he did not say it will sell as well, but I do see it having a high attached rate on X1. Rare does a great job with Kinect

MS can't come up with anything original.

Would you say absolutely horrible hyperbole? :D

Halo 5?....pffft to each his own but Halo 5 is a great game, every Xbox owner I know enjoyed it, the campaign was nice I like the teamwork concept and the multiplayer keeps 'em coming back with great gameplay & modes so much content, 343 did a helluva job.

Christopher2513d ago

@4Show: Uh... going to assume that's a comment intended for someone else.

spicelicka2513d ago

Not Halo 5. It had a bad story COMPARED to past games but it didn't have a bad story overall. The gameplay was top notch, and multiplayer is still one of the best on the market right now. Custom games browser is the single greatest thing 343 did which I'm grateful for.

ninsigma2513d ago

Nah it really was a bad campaign. MP was great but seriously, that was a hugely terrible story mode.

spicelicka2512d ago

The story maybe, but some of the missions were extremely fun. The Sangehlios ones are right up there with the best missions in the franchise.

Kingthrash3602513d ago

Halos mp was great but became boring quicker than most.
The story. Naw that was bad and it's marketing was a lie. Made it seem like old master chief was gunna fight that new fake master chief but the conflict ended up being a one punch cgi sequence.
Not to mention fighting the same boss over and over and over....plus add the no split screen mp and whala! You got the worst canon halo ever made

brich2332513d ago

Compared to Halo 4, Halo 5's story was trash and not memorable at all.

ninsigma2512d ago

That's not really saying much though cuz that was pretty bad as well.

ninsigma2512d ago

Agreed on sanghelios. That was one of the very few times it actually felt like halo.

And another article with 15 items from this website *shakes head*

MadLad2513d ago

Halo 5, FarCry 2, Dragon Age 2, Nuts and Bolts, and Gears of War: Judgement were all far from bad games. Hell, even Crackdown 2 was pretty fun.

There's a difference between a lesser sequel, and a bad game.

rlow12512d ago

With a Title that says "horrible sequels", most of these are far from that. Better title should be disappointing sequels. But I'm sure they went with the former to get clicks and bring in the fanboys.
