Just call me the Fountain of All Knowledge :-)
Oh, and www.computerandvideogames.com help sometimes as well :-) :
Rare is currently working on an Xbox racing game called Sabre Man Stampede, we can reveal. The last piece of the Rare puzzle? For now, possibly, but after months of speculation it would appear the last major in-development Rare title has been unearthed.
After Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, Ghoulies and Conkers Online, there was of course one title left of the five which Rare and Microsoft promised for the end of 2004. The obvious absentee from this line-up is a racing game, but, as everyone knows, Rare was working on a racing title for GameCube before its acquisition by Microsoft - Donkey Kong Racing, sequel to the brilliant Diddy Kong Racing on N64.
While Nintendo owns the rights to Donkey Kong, it was fairly obvious the game would resurface in a different guise. But who exactly is this Sabre Man guy? The dude out of 8-bit classic Sabre Wulf, a fully reworked version of which is already in the concept stages for Xbox.
It's likely Rare will have simply switched IPs, retaining the core of Donkey Kong Racing for its Xbox racer. Whether Sabre Man Stampede will appear at E3 is uncertain, since the developer has several other key titles to exploit. But we'll keep you posted on all the latest Rare news in the run up to the show.

A Racing Game using the main character from one of my all time favourite games!?! Where'd you hear that?
:)
Conkers Bad Fur Day is the one game I am looking forward to most on the XBox.
Morrowind makes me keep it. Conkers Bad Fur Day is letting it get dusted :-D

I heard it was going to be developed by Rare?! Well, something to do with a racing game anyway....
Dringo, Unfortuanatly Conkers Bad Fur Day has'nt been given a release date yet, or any information about it for that matter. As Your Honour stated, we'll most likely found out something at E3.
Aswell as Kameo *drools*
There's a new Sabre Wulf game being developed as well, but not by Rare.
