What is the future of Rare. After enjoying their new stunner (Conker's bad fur day) and the release of their final N64 game Banjo Tooie coming out in a couple of hours begs the question what do they have in store for the Gamecube.
I can tell you of a few, a Micky Mouse platformer, After Dark (the sequal to Perfect Dark), Dinosaur Planet and Conker's other bad day. Three familiar faces and one brand new adventures from Rare to come out on Nintendo's next system is a very exciting prospect indeed.
Another rumoured game is one featuring Sabreman. Sabreman is a classic Rare game from the late 80's and in Banjo Tooie he makes a reappearance and after you say goodbye he mutters "I think i'll have a ride on a Dolphin" which could be Rare giving us a big hint of things to come.
So what would you like Rare to do on the Gamecube? Would you like another Banjo game or maybe a 3D Killer Instinct game. Would you like to see another Diddy Kong Racing game or maybe new platformers staring more cast members of Diddy Kong Racing. Maybe the Jet Force team could come back and maybe you would like Donkey Kong to smash the charts again.
So what would you like Rare to do? you tell me.
Here's to the future

The Gameplay basics in almost identical.
All it really needs is camera control, analogue control and I'm sure Rare will have no problems with that.
It's platforming at it's roots. A - B platforming with secret passages, split paths, lots of things to collect, baddies to jump on (especially those ravens from DKC) and bottomless pits to fall down.
The true style of Donkey Kong country!
Not forgetting the barrels ofcourse...

Crash though isn't the sort of game that we expect on todays systems it is really outdated.

NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I know that Conker is a very nice game but it's as faithful to Donkey Kong Country as Bill Klinton was to his wife.
Crash was made shortly after Donkey Kong Country was released and it's clear that Naughty Dog were huge fans of Rare's 16bit master piece.
From the Jungle Feel, the apples, the bonus stages, it's even got those birds that squeek when you bounce off them!
I know that Rare could do a much better job (especially seeing as Crash was made using 5 year old technology) but it's got the right style.
It's the only true 3D incarnation DKC
(then Naughty Dog made some sequels and messed it all up too!)
Play DKC and the original Crash Bandicoot one after another and you'll see how similar they are!

Grix, I believe he had to collect the four pieces of an amulet to break the curse he was put under (turning into a werewolf and all) Hence the two characters, Sabreman and Sabrewulf.
So everyone's right! Yippee!

Wow sadrewulf is the name of a game by ultimate grix is right!
But the star of the game (according to N64 magazine) is called sabreman a character that appeared in Banjo tooie and he said "I think i'll have a ride on a dolphin"

ah yes but SABREWOLFIE was a character that I just made up to extent this heated and ridiculous debate, everyone is right, because everyone is talking about a different character, so SABREWOLFIE it is!
