In our latest hands-on with the game at Microsoft’s Play Day in Cologne, we worked up quite a sweat running, jumping, and waving our hands manically. Though we no doubt looked a little silly pawing at thin air, the responsiveness of the controls and the pick-up-and-play nature of the games meant there was still plenty of fun to be had looking the fool".
Craig Duncan reflects on Kinect and the cool things Rare was able to accomplish with the Kinect Sports games.
Kinect Sports was the most successful property that Rare had on an Xbox platforms 😒
Rare is washed up.. That was a company i thought would give MS some unique exclusives after the buy out.. Unfortunately they became a shell of their former selves.. I have no clue why MS would assign kinect games to a team like that smh
I don't care what anyone says about rare because I'm actually really liking Sot. Yeah it could use some things in future updates but so far it's fun!
A summary of Rare since their Microsoft purchase fifteen years ago, going through each of the games and their performance across the various Xbox platforms.
You forgot to mention Donkey Kong Country 1-3 remakes, Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Sabre Wulf, Banjo-Pilot, It's Mr. Pants, Diddy Kong Racing DS, & Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise.
Yeah they aren't on Xbox platforms, but it's still worth mentioning all the projects they've produced since the acquisition.
Remember when Rare was a more respected developer in the industry than Naughty Dog?
If you got young kids around the house, you don't want to be playing games like COD or DOOM. These are some kid friendly games you could get to keep your kiddo's entertained.
Just what I want to do when I'm playing video games. Sweating, running and jumping and waving my hands magically all the while looking like a fool to carnival games.
MS should just paint the Xbox pink and get it over with. Everyone can see where the brand is going.
Don't tar and feather me I have been a strong Xbox supporter.
Kinectsports should be the compilation of mini-game shiped with Kinect. I know M$ is looking to make some cash from the retail copy of the game being seperate from Kinect, but it would make a better introduction to the device than "Adventure".
Good preview by Gamespot of mini games we had not previously seen. I must say M$ is going in the right direction with the casual focus first, especially around this time of the year.
