I am not laughing at Rare, Rare were my third favourite company and my first favourite company kicked 'em out to you guys. Oh no I'm laughing at the fact that Microsoft expect Rare to release 5 games in 2 years....
Trust me it won't happen.

Nintendo had changed their business model and seemingly left Rare behind, who subsequently put themselves on the market.
Nintendo's new business model has just brought in Capcom and Sega.
I doubt they'll be off so quickly...

And Rare were a first party developer and a big part of Nintendo, they'd never leave ! Would they ? ;-)

Why would everything be samey and crap ? The whole point why Microsoft bought Rare was because they bring something different. Kameo certainly doesn't look anything different to what Rare released on Nintendo's consoles and Perfect Dark is taking a new direction by the looks of it.

I wouldn't be so sure of that. Who next? Capcom? Then who? SEGA? After that? Namco? etc.
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft bought every developer who ever had a decent game. I still wouldn't buy an X-box though.

To be honest the money doesn't matter to me, how much Microsoft paid is up to them, as long as I get the games I don't think I will be losing sleep over one of the richest companies in the world!
Ahh but you said that 3 out of 7 people didnt like Starfox much and gave a score below 7 out of 10.
Now, who made Starfox Adventures? Rare
And how long did they spend making it? 5+ years
Now if they can't make a game that will get at least 9 out of ten in five years, what good was buying them? Esspecialy when you take into consider how few games they release.
Is one average game a year worth 3.5 million?

Anyone, the point was, Starfox Adventures isn't a 'mixed reviews' game, it's got great reviews from the places that count.
And the other point, It wasn't Starfox Adventures!!!

Who said anything about Rare not making a decent game? Who said anything about Nintendo not making a decent game? Didn't I just say how great the Mario Karts were/are? The old Mario's (bar the boring N64 one which was a huge disappointment to me)? I don't know where you are reading from but I haven't said that :)
