And the Bowling was good. The track and field stuff is cool in large groups. I honestly don't understand what folks are looking to get out of a casual party style game?</p> <p>It would be like getting pissed at a top down 2D shooter like Raiden/Strikers becuase you couldn't get out of the plane or because the game was only 7 stages long.</p> <p>Point being those games all fit into the "it is what it is" catigory.</p> <p>They are easy to pick and play games. They are something different then what we all cut our teeth playing.</p> <p>I like em. I enjoyed Wii Sports too.</p> <p>Games don't have to have some deep meaning. They just need to be fun.</p> <p>As far as Rare goes, they have a long and soild history. I think a lot of those folks that started things rolling are now gone. But I bet some awesome people are still working there. I hate to see them lose their jobs. Keep that in mind when you blast a dev because their games don't bath the screen in buckets of blood or have mounds of jiggiling flesh. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19542 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:36:54 +0000 Lloytron 19542@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@back_up</p> <p>True enough these days, but they used to be great, which is why this is so sad. Rare games used to be a must have buy on day one, and were usually worth the wait but in recent years they have seen a decline. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19541 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 09:12:48 +0000 Yoshi 19541@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Back Up ^<br /> Even if no-one cares for their games you can still show respect to the developers. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19536 Wed, 16 Feb 2011 08:09:44 +0000 Anonymous 19536@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>RARE sucks<br /> nobody cares about ms and rare<br /> naughty dog and Insomniac are better than lame rare </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19525 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:21:18 +0000 Psychotext 19525@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>That post is a bit confusing, they say that Rare's fate is linked to Kinect Sports 2... and that they're fucked based on the success of Kinect Sports 1. But Kinect Sports 1 has done 2m+ units and is still selling reasonably well.</p> <p>Or did they mean that they're fucked because they're going to be a Kinect only software house? </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19524 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:10:13 +0000 Hunam 19524@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Erthazus</p> <p>I used to work there. I'm talking about people who were there last year.</p> <p>I doubt Blizzard though. With Rare being in the Midlands of the UK and Blizzard being in California of the US makes the commute a bit much. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19523 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 22:03:46 +0000 Erthazus 19523@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>@Hunam, the problem is that i think most of the good guys went out of there.</p> <p>Rare these days is a developer of casual shit for Microsoft.<br /> I hope these guys will go to Blizzard or some awesome studio to be honest. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=4389#post-19522 Tue, 15 Feb 2011 21:50:10 +0000 Hunam 19522@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I really hope that's not true.
