Damn, nearly forgot about this one,
It looked really good back then ... hope they keep the same visual style.

Obscure_Observer191d ago

I´m glad the development is going well. RARE is one of the most experienced and creative studios at XGS.

I´m positive they´ll deliver another solid game.

DodoDojo191d ago

Another solid game? They've been mediocre at best since Microsoft bought them and Everwild looks like it's a indy game.

BeHunted191d ago

Sea of Thieves sold over a million on PlayStation. I can't say the same thing about Concord.

Obscure_Observer191d ago

"Another solid game? They've been mediocre at best since Microsoft bought them and Everwild looks like it's a indy game."

Actual Playstation gamers won´t give a damn about your opinion.

Their "mediocre" 6 year old game Sea of Thieves outsold Stellar Blade at launch on PS5 via PS Store.

I don't even own a Playstation, so trying to compare it to sales of Playstation exclusives isn't going to offend me. In comparison to pre acquisition Rare's games have have ranged from horrible to meh, no more 9/10 games since Microsoft stepped in and that's a fact.

jznrpg191d ago

Took 5 years to get the gameplay loop. The game should be released or at least really close

thesoftware730191d ago (Edited 191d ago )

Yeah, I hope we see something soon.

I feel similar about Wolverine, it was announced in 2021, but still, nothing has been shown off... bummer.

2025 maybe? but I'm thinking 2026 release.

Profchaos191d ago

Insomniac internal leaks pegged wolverine as 2026 from memory there was more Spider-Man first which I believe was cancelled also

pwnmaster3000191d ago

I mean to be fair, insomniac was working on Spiderman 2. So we knew Wolverine was going to be a minute. Besides Sea of thieves I really don’t know what they’ve been working on.

Actually insomniac has been putting that work all gen compare to Rare. So I give them a pass.

Profchaos191d ago

Jez states its still in early development

Chocoburger191d ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Began development around 2014, announced 5 years later in November 2019, and now we're in October 2024, and its still far away from launch. This is a serious problem with Microsoft promising games, but they either get canceled (Scalebound, Project Spark), or they take so long to come out, they don't even release on the console they were originally promised for (Perfect Dark, Everwild).

They string you along for half a decade (or more!) promising these games, but often times, they are let downs, then the cycle repeats. Promise games, take so damn long to come out, let down, repeat.

Demetrius191d ago

Not surprised tho, Microsoft probably been giving them a hard time

Phil Spencer Plays Everwild at Rare HQ

A game that had been thought cancelled or at the very least in development hell, Rare’s Everwild has resurfaced of late – first through comments last week on Jez Corden & Rand Al Thor’s Xbox Two podcast that it was finally “progressing well”. We’ve now had confirmation from Phil Spencer himself that Everwild is indeed still in active development, and is in a playable state.

Amazing news!

Crow has been served for naysayers.

-Foxtrot182d ago

What you blabbering on about now? What “crow”?

I swear you over exaggerate or make stuff up to gain some kind of “win”.

Obscure_Observer181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

Every time an Xbox first party studio announce a new game and the said team went silent and focused on development, FUD bs starts to popup on the internet. " Oh...RARE is in development hell".

https://www.altchar.com/gam...

When the original director left, many people here gone full doom and gloom for this game.

“It's a mess”, sources say this Xbox game is in serious development problems"

https://www.levelup.com/en/...

They were spreading this lying BS just one month before we got this:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

So give me a break and spare me from your hypocrisy.

-Foxtrot181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

And you’re surprised?

Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour

Phill played Crackdown 3, Redfall and Halo Infinite before it got a delay, when the game was dead set on its original release date YET they ended up being either bad or average.

It’s not anyone’s fault the thought process on these things is steeped in skepticism, Microsoft has brought that on themselves…yet you wouldn’t know that because you give them a pass for everything while spinning anything bad into a good thing. If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different.

Obscure_Observer181d ago

"Seriously you’re bitching about people being skeptical when history has not really been in their favour"

Yeah... I remember YOU bitching about RARE´s Sea of Thieves and look at the irony now! That´s their history!

Been skeptical has nothing to do with been negative and straight up toxic! If you think you´re entitled to talk sh!t and trash something today, don´t go ape sh!t when people call you out on your bs tomorrow!

"If people like yourself called them out from the start then maybe things could have been different."

You´re delusional. You still think those companies give a F* about what we think or want? After everything we have witnessed in these four years? You got be kidding!

VersusDMC181d ago

Phil thought Redfall was fine...but sure lets believe him.

obidanshinobi181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

Phil wouldn't know what a good game is if it sat on his face.

Lightning77182d ago

Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)

Either way I'll keep an eye on this game as I'm. More curious than anything.

Obscure_Observer181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

"Showcase or Xbox direct 2025? NGL MS has been revealing better lookin games since Everwild. They shouldn't of announced the game so early (5 years prior)"

Early game announcements by studios aren´t meant only to entice and attract gamers and gaming media´s interest in a game, but also and mainly aimed at new developers that might want to join their ranks.

It´s an industry standard.

mkis007180d ago (Edited 180d ago )

5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it.

Obscure_Observer180d ago

@mkis007

"5 years is a bit much. At that point it's only a concept. Yes it's a bit much when anyone does it."

It´s not that simple. Like I said, it´s an industry standard for a reason.

To get a game announced in early stages of development takes strategy and methodical evaluation for people in high places, since it costs a lot of money, manpower, time and resources.

For instance, didn´t Sony just announced a new *next gen* espionage-action game by Kojima Productions?

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Kojima´s Death Stranding 2 doesn´t even have a release date, he and his team still got O.D to release on Xbox next, and his new next gen game had already been announced even without a project name.

And you think 5 years is a bit much?

How long do you think it´s gonna take to have that espionage-action by out? What´s your thoughts about it?

Let´s hear

Didn´t Sony announce a new action-espionage game

mkis007178d ago

I knew you would go there so I answered your question in my first response. It's too early when anyone does it. Sony was name dropping kojima to get ahead of xbox's OD announcement, so I kind of get that one... but I just don't like announcements before 3 years from release.

pwnmaster3000182d ago (Edited 182d ago )

Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol.
This is like the madden curse. When ever a team is put on the cover they do bad. Example look at 49ers this year lol.

If this game does bad the Phil curse is real lol

Obscure_Observer181d ago

"Idk every time I hear news of Phil goes and plays a game it never turns out good lol.
Crackdown, redfall etc lol."

Perfect Dark

pwnmaster3000181d ago

Perfect dark isn’t out yet.
So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol.

Obscure_Observer181d ago

@pwnmaster3000

"Perfect dark isn’t out yet."

Doesn´t matter. It looks awesome and people are hyped.

"So if there was news about him playing it and enjoying it then it could be cursed to lol."

Right. According to you, Perfect Dark is cursed. Noted!

pwnmaster3000181d ago (Edited 181d ago )

Dude chill. Why so sensitive. Its a light hearted comment.
Why so uptight?
Did I offend daddy Phil?

Father__Merrin181d ago

Phil Spencer doesn't know what the hells going on...

obidanshinobi181d ago

Welcome to Xbox.
Where no one there seems to know what they're doing.

Merrrrrinnnnnn !!!!!

Knushwood Butt181d ago

Did Phil give it the 'Redfall' seal of approval?

sagapo181d ago

As long as it’s not the “Concord” seal…

Knushwood Butt181d ago

I wonder when xbox are going to announce the PS5 port of Redfall.

Destiny1080181d ago

internally, reviews were excellent

Rare's new IP still in the works as Everwild team "warm up... for our year ahead

It's been a few years since we last heard from Rare about its new IP Everwild, but executive producer Louise O'Connor says the team is looking to "warm up... for our year ahead.

GoodGuy09827d ago

I feel like its been 10 years since they announced everwild...I wonder if they've figured out what the game will actually be yet lol.

-Foxtrot827d ago

I assumed they’ve been “warming up” for the past couple of years

Flawlessmic826d ago

Good to know it's still in development but weird we know nothing about it years from when it was announced.

Hopefully will see it at e3 this yr.

RedDevils826d ago

Don't worry, when we all died our grand kids will get to see this game reveal with a teaser trailer.

For me I was really looking forward to Redfall. Not only is it right around the corner, but the little gameplay I’ve seen looks promising.

Yang_kai981d ago (Edited 981d ago )

😂 🚫 😱 to be fair 10 don’t have a year and 4 have a 2023 TBD date 🤷🏿 all look good

Lightning77981d ago

You mean just like the upcoming PS5 list of games?

Yang_kai980d ago (Edited 980d ago )

Can’t comment on that one I haven’t seen it yet 🤷🏿 But I will compare them once I do, if you provide a link to it will be appreciated 😁

MadLad981d ago

I want to see actual gameplay of Avowed.
Easily my most anticipated game that I don't know F-all about.
