"Rare - The Thread"

I thought this site could do with a thread about one of the best developers around, so here it is.

Was Banjo before Goldeneye? I forget.

I know JFG wasn't which is why I wrote "first decent game" and not "last decent game".

Or were you not talking to me? :S

Banjo? Jet Force Gemini?

About the first decent game Rare made for the '64 and it was a fair way into the consoles lifespan before we got it.

Played Goldeneye?

Played Grabbed didn't like it, played KI didn't like it, played DKR vapid trash that it was and I've played Blast Corp which was ok but limited.

Have you played Grabbed and StarFox?

Anyhoo, I can't wait for Conker, never got to play the original. But I would like a see a good, new effort from Rare on the XBox, because from the looks of things Kameo could suck.

CBFD will decide things for a bit I reckon.

Very true. Only one group are still there - that's right, the Stamper family.

WHat relevance has that got to CBFD being made under Nintys guidance?
