"When are Rare gonna officially announce they're going multi format?"

It's getting annoying now, it's glaringly obvious after their almost no show at E3 that they'll be going multi-format. I know they love making us wait for games but this is just taking the pish..

I have to agree with you there that Rare will one day be going multi-format. No-one can live with one compant forever! They need to expand and show that they can do big things on bigger things.

The real money can be found if they go for the top selling PS2, and the X-box is well short of a good number of top titles on the way!

It'll be sad to see them do this - whenever they do.
But i'm sure they'll reserve the 'extra special' stuff for Ninty! ;D

Rare won't go multiformat, the only way this will happen is if team members leave and form a new company. Nintendo own just under 50%, some how I can't see them selling unless its for a couple of billion pounds (or yen or what ever it is)

To be honest i'm not as bothered about Rare going Multi Format as I would have been a few months ago, it's not like we wont be getting their games. It wont be such a massive loss to Nintendo as it would have been if they had left them when the N64 was still around. After all there's been no Rare games for Gamecube so far and it's still selling amazingly, though they are undoubtedly a great company and an asset to Nintendo, they kept the N64 alive with their games but this time round Nintendo have tons of other big name developers on board so it wont be such a problem.

The fact is there was no show at E3 and they aren't developing Donkey Kong +, looks very worrying to me.

Rare have got a lot of games to do at the moment. Starfox, DK racing, Diddy Kong racing for GBA, Banjo for GBA, DK coconut crackers for GBA, Kameo for GC, Perfect Dark 0, Sabrewulf for GBA and there are probably a couple more too. So Rare may have its hands tied.

If they aren't going multiformat then why is Nintendo making Donkey Kong + and not RARE?????

They're not going to go multi-platform, so don't even bother waiting for the announcement.

the rumors arn't true they said they were 'a load of old cobblers'
