i dont reckon Rare will leave nintendo ... why ... because im in denial and i dont want them too :(
it wont be that bad without them , it's just that their games will appear on other consoles aswell as the gamecube , so we wont be missingout on much except for the ninty owned franchises whic hthey might even give to rare anyway to make for the gamecube only , just like they gave sega (amusment vison) F-zero , and Namco StarFox. If they do develope for other consoles aswell , then i reckon that what ive said above will happen.
unless of course ....
Rare are currently delving over a new console , the Rarevinator (we like , no ?) 2 twice as powerfull as the xbox, photo ralistic graphics , Rare only games , plus they are investing in new development teams , teams that will each create a different genre of game , teams that include some of the youngest minds in the gaming (from 20 onwards) all those adds in edge for new staff , all those people sending in CV's , it's all leading to this , one mega company resebling the strength of SEGA , with 50 plus development teams. It will be a Rare only console , as with so many teams no other companies will be needed. As the consoles strength increases , other developers and publishers will want to jump on board , Rare will be un-stop-able , they will buy out nintendo , whos own faithful minions have moved to rare for their equally as great games , then all ninty's will buy the Rarevinator , wanting the exclusive rare and nintendo games , then with the money that nintendo once had and the new found wealth of their console , they will buy out Sony (The gaming part of sony) and have the likes Gran Turismo and GTA on their console , finally they will buy out Capcom , Konami, Retro Studios , every well known developer they can afford , leaving just the huge companies (EA) to their own devices.
Microsoft will refuse to be bought out as they have no need to , they can cope without Rare , but then they find that they have no punters left , no-one to buy their ageing Xbox , they have no choice but to pull out of the console business , with no developer developing games for their console anymore , they have no choice - the Microsoft console developement core is dead.
Every gamer in the world will own Rare's console (except hardcore PC gamers of course) there will be no competition and games quality will start to go down hill, eventually developers will be releasing a new game every day , game prices will go down to £5 each. Then everyone will realise how poor videogames are now , even Shigsy can't be bothered , so everyone either :
Option 1- The developing community have a huge meeting (in a custom built 100 acre sized building ) and decide that enough is enough , half of them go one way and make their own console , the other half makes their own console , and we have the first console war emerging in 10 years. Gamers will rejoice at having some choice , something to compare , something to taunt others about "my Rarevinator 17 is better that you weedy Thompsons Home Leisure entertainment suite 48 ! WAY BETTER " Games will be heaving with quality with each developer trying to out-do the others , the games will be great , they will be unstopable , they will last longer than ever , while some will stay relativly short , but provide the best experience of your life. The gaming world will be saved , we will all be happy , SORTED !
Option 2 : Everyone gives up with games , and go out into the open air and play with Daisy's , and sing with the birds , some may even try to "do" it on park benches , the world will be become clean again , and everyone will remember Timmy the dog that was left in the corner surviving on his own excrement , and will play with him again. Just like the good old days...
Option 3 : Both of the above happen , option 1 first then option 2 - everyone will be using so much electricity that we will burn out the world , literally, we will have used the nuclear activity at the center of the earth , and wear it out , now the world starts to crumble , whole parts are sent off careering torwards the sun, people still living on them till they realise that the oceans are boiling away , and that only half of auntie mary's house is still next door.
So with all the power gone people decide to go out of their homes for the first time in six months , finding the natural light blinding (well you are closer to the sun now of course) and the air toxic (the nuclear power plants have exploded) and everyone dies in a mass Apocalypse , some die from the fumes , some are blinded by the ever closer sun and walk into a neighbours garden with a fierce dog , and some die after being singed in the sun.
Life as we know it has ended , and it's all thanks to those little men in red suspenders who started it all off...
So is this going to happen ... i very much doubt it , but you never know , some people never thought that sliced bread was possible , now look , we can even do it ourselves in Sainsbury's! (it's actually pretty cool , you choose the loaf that you want , put it in the machine and it slices it ! I was amazed the first time , and still am.)
