back in the day nobody could understand why I loved Blast Corps so much. What a great package, Xbox One owners are super lucky.

Ms did everything right, Phil Spencer has changed the Xbox culture very quickly.

Hopefully every other conference will also be great. Hopefully everyone will bring their A game

God yes. Just... God yes. This really made Microsoft's E3 for me.

When that whole Rare presentation started, I just immediately began jumping up and down and then to see 30 games for $30. OMG!!! Then they showed Sea of Thieves, looked pretty awesome and fun to play!

‘Thanks to everyone who played’: Banjo-Kazooie director confirms Rare exit after 36 years

Gregg Mayles writes: "Today was my last day at Rare Ltd. Thanks to everyone who played and enjoyed any of the games I helped create while I was there. Also thanks to all the people that worked on the games alongside me. It seemed fitting that I should say farewell with one final rhyme!"

These sorts of goodbyes are always the most heart-wrenching.

rlow1227d ago

lol, read his poem and it’s epic. Congrats and gods speed to you sir.

Reaper22_227d ago

Godspeed for the rest of your journey, sir. Loved BK. I think I'll play it this weekend to show my appreciation for this classic.

Not to offend anyone. But what was Rare doing with Everwild for so many years? Development began in 2014, with a reveal in 2019. From 2019 onwards nothing was about the game.

Notellin269d ago

"Notably, O’Connor’s boss of 13 years, former Rare studio head Craig Duncan, was appointed head of Xbox Game Studios last year."

Hiring internal talent from Rare worked out so well last time.

It's a shame it seems pretty Sea of Thieves centric

I was hoping for some cool Banjo / Conker merch or maybe a re-release of Rare Relay with some added games, possibly work something out with Nintendo so they can add Goldeneye to it with online support.
