Rare bringing "Historic" Franchise to Xbox One, Reveal at E3

Quote :

Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer has told Polygon that Rare will be bringing back an "historic" franchise for the Xbox One. The game will be shown at E3 this year and Spencer believes it will be important for the Xbox One's success.

"Fans of Rare and Rare IP I think will be pleased with what we're going to show at E3," said Spencer. "We had a limited amount of time today and a lot of story to tell. But Rare remains an incredibly important part of our development capability. That historic IP that they've built I think can play a real important role on Xbox One."

Microsoft purchased Rare 11 years ago and Microsoft gained the rights to Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Killer Instinct, and Perfect Dark. Rare did release a Perfect Dark and Banjo-Kazooie title on the Xbox 360. Microsoft did renew the Killer Instinct trademark in September 2012.

Meanwhile, some time ago Microsoft renewed the Killer Instinct Trademark:

Quote :

Microsoft and Fox have worked out their dispute over the Killer Instinct trademark, and basically promised not to sue each other. NeoGAF hosts a copy of the "trademark coexistence agreement" signed in late March, which lets both sides use the trademark as long as they don't get into each other's territory.

Microsoft will stay away from making a short-lived television show, while Fox will do its best not to make a new game in a franchise that hasn't seen a new installment since 1996.

This odd speed bump came up in September 2012 when Microsoft announced its intention to renew the trademark. Two months later, it became known that the trademark renewal was rejected due to Fox's trademark on the TV show. And no, it still doesn't mean a new Killer Instinct game is happening.

Banjo-Kazooie 4

>Implying that Nuts & Bolts is Banjo Threeie

Lolwhat.

The announcement might make me want the console.

KILLER INSTINCT 3.

Well Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Ballz was the third installment in the franchise, despite the change in gameplay.

It was also a spin-off instead of a direct sequel, despite being the third in the franchise.

Calling Nutz & Bolts "Banjo-Kazooie 3" is as accurate as calling Jak X for "Jak 4". Just saying.

>implying rare doesn't suck ass anyway

Told you, Noel and Rambo :-)

banjo lol



so historic


Xbone confirmed for nogames.

Grabbed by the ghoulies kinect.

Also that leak looks fake as hell.

Yeah, I'm with Toxic on that one. It looks fake as shit.

Also, LMAO @ Halo 5 this E3. No fucking way will that happen.

I'm willing to bet they'll announce Halo 5 at E3 :-)

They might. They actually might.

However, you failed. Your own link has "Killer Instinct" listed as an Xbox game as well. So we were both right.

Blix? The cat with the hoover? I always loved that game

I think Mecha was referring to Banko Kazooie 4, being the official 4th game in the franchise.

I call bullshit. Fable 4 should not be on that list.

That might be the big surprise that Microsoft promised us.

This list is fake. The Banjo icon has been made up years ago.

Rare could bring out three games (Seeing as Rare has three teams), but I think there's going to be two at E3.

The historic franchise could be either Killer Instinct or Banjo Threeie. Killer Instinct because the trademark has renewed recently (Games could get renewed even when the game is done), or Banjo Threeie because it's Rare's most well known franchise, but since it's "historic," Banjo doesn't fit well (I assume historic means haven't been touched upon in a long time).

The next game is a new IP.

Kinect Sports, Banjo Kazooie and Goldeneye developer Rare is working on a new "Action/Adventure or FPS" game for Microsoft's yet-to-be-announced next console, according to a new recruitment ad (via Superannuation).

The ad is seeking a "Senior Product Manager who will be responsible for multiple AAA future console releases," suggesting Rare could have multiple titles in the works for the Next Xbox already.

"Whilst continual development of their core releases will be maintained, the successful candidate will be joining at a time where the studio is looking to move into new areas and develop new IPs for future platforms," reads the ad.

"You will have a successful history of releasing exceptional AAA games and these will ideally be in the Action/Adventure or FPS genre."

Is Rare looking to return to create something more mature than the Kinect and Avatar-themed projects it's worked on in recent years under Microsoft?

Sounds like it. We've dropped Rare an email for comment.

Yesterday, a job ad similarly revealed that Lionhead is also looking to create an MMO-style game for a future platform.

I want an action-adventure game. Something similar to Jet Force Gemini, or maybe Battletoads.

The third game could be either a new Banjo or a new Perfect Dark. I'm going with Banjo.

I've had a vibe since the historic franchise comment was made that Banjo will also appear at E3.

That would be the equivalent of getting "surprise" socks at Xmas, we have LOADS of them, and different types/colours/material, give us fucking something exciting, auntie!!
