There may well have been some talk amongst Rare staff about working on the PlayStation – after all, it was the machine that offered the largest potential audience – but as Mayles says, Rare's strength was that it could push the N64 hardware to new limits and its titles sold very well on that console as a result. While shifting focus to PlayStation might have made sense on one level, the competition on that console could well have drowned out Rare's games – and there would have been the additional issue of the developers having to quickly get to grips with a new platform.

Steam is changing its refund policy, but you probably won’t be affected
Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.
I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol
Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.
Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.
Speaking about overgeneralizing much.
Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.
Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?
You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.
Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.
I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.
I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.
Rumor was obviously a rumor. But we see the end results. Even though Rare was cool back then, Nintendo did fine without them. Sony did fine without them. And Rare broke up and became a shadow of itself after being purchased. With their reputation not being what it once was.
The funny part is the Nintendo fans in the article raging. GameFan was actually a good mag. It was pure gaming without all the ads everywhere like the other mags. If there were any, it was few and far between. With each review person having their own console and game preferences. To see some guys rip into the entire mag because one person reviewed a PS1 game over N64 version is funny. Without knowing his personal reasons since he can't respond back.
But when you think of Rare with fond memories, is it who they were or who they are now? Makes things easy. Because other developers that existed then and now are fondly remembered THEN AND NOW. Can't say the same for Rare.
I didn't even know this rumour existed but even I know its BS, its honestly a shame Rare didn't stick with Ninty during the Gamecube/Wii era Banjo 3 could've been an awesome game and Viva Pinata would've gotten more attention on the Wii imo.
