Technology Tell writes, "Those games were fun because of how the collectibles made you explore your world, and this appeal shone best in a time without open-world marvels like Skyrim. We have much higher standards of immersion and world-building these days. So then it could lean on its platforming? But three-dimensional platform games have largely faded away except for Mario, and regardless of its quality, a paint-by-numbers approach seems like a hard sell on a platform most bought for games like Titanfall."
Rare, the developer behind pirate adventure Sea of Thieves, has introduced a dedicated dog park to its studio grounds for employees' good boys and girls.
Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.
Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"
Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.
Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.
I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
Bobby says, "Many video game franchises have come and gone, but what ones should return?"
Art of Fighting
Bloody Roar
Clay Fighter
Darkstalkers
Ehrgeiz
Final Fight
..and so on ;)
Art of Fighting...We are going to have a Fatal Fury, we can have hope for this one too :)
I only had the CD version of Final Fight but yeah great game, great music. Challenging too.
The Desert/Jungle Strike games need to return too.
I remember playing Clay Fighters a lot, honestly it wasn't great and it got worse with each sequel.
I agree, but Bloody Roar is higher in my priority lol..due to that already super fun indie fighting game hellish Quart which is still on early access
breath of fire
shadow hearts / koudelka
dot hack series.
and many more u cant think of right now haha
Maybe Shadow Hearts/Koudelka can make a return now that Penny Blood is in the works (worked for 100 Heroes/Suikoden).
I'd really like them to do a Dot Hack compilation/quadrillion pack, and having Breath of Fire return would be good too, it didn't deserve to go out with a whimper (I'm talking about that mobile game they made for it).
haha you dont need to clarify your points, i know xD
i know theres a .hack project on the way, but no one really knows what it is. from qhat ive just read, the vice Pres. of CC2 wants a remake of the four games, but Bandai holds the licensing and hasnt given the greenlight for it.
and yehz bof didnt deserve the the ceap games at the end
Quake (not including the re-releases)
F.E.A.R
TimeSplitters
Hexen
Brothers in Arms
Bad Company
Resistance
Legacy of Kain
Midnight Club
Burnout
... many more
The Legend of Dragoon
Infamous
Heretic/Hexen
Sleeping Dogs
Midnight Club
Scarface
Lost Odyssey
Syphon Filter
Red Faction
Snatcher
Porkchop you probably know already but did you know they worked on a scarface 2.
Yeah I've seen footage of it. Activision cancelled it after they bought Sierra. I still think that's crazy. Scarface was successful enough that Sierra planned on making Scarface 2, 3, 4, etc. It's wild that Activision would just cancel it like that.
Rare can't win with this franchise at this point. Nuts & Bolts was too different for fans to accept (though I loved it) and making another 3D platformer would be seen as stale and not moving the franchise forward (though that genre doesn't sell well anyway without Mario in the title).
I would love a new Banjo, i'm a huge fan of the series and we need more 3D platformers. But i don't trust Rare nowadays to make a game like this. The last good game made by Rare it's Kameo: Elements of Power, from 2005.
How about Conker & Kazooie: The Quest for Banjo? Imagine a drunk conker vomititng everywhere upside down while kazooie runs.
I don't think saying that platformers have faded away is correct. With the exception of Mario, there is still R&C that is doing reasonable and let's not forget Skylanders.
It's just a matter of how it is executed. A well executed Banjo game wouldn't be the wrong the call.
