The name lives on but what Rare was has died and moved on .

I'd love to see a single player game from Rare.

In all honesty...Rare did. They are now in control of their own destiny and picking the projects they want to work on. SoT has won awards and gamers continue to play. Wish them even more luck with Everwild.

I still have an issue holding a game like Sea of Thieves in high regard

Is Rare doing Battletoads or some other studio?

The original Rare is long gone and their Golden Age came to a close with Perfect Dark. Although Rare has brought in some mixed success, the impeccable creativity they had back then was unmatched.

Now they are like any other studio with its ups and downs. Similiar to Sega,Capcom or Namco they simply cannot aspire to their past levels anymore.

Rare is rare again ever since they were allowed creative freedom(sea of thieves being their first original IP in years) people say they died because they won't do banjo 40, conker's bad fur decade, etc. That or they want rare to change and make photorealistic cinematic games so that people can then say "ah there they are. So alive welcome back rare"

Everwild is gonna be amazing the game is apparently being led by Louise O'Connor(worked on conker)

Rare is called Play Tonic these days. That's the closest to the real Rare around.

Nobody
it's been dead since early 200's

but the real rare dev's are making a game called Tamarin coming out soon, so that looks better

Highly talented bunch, need the time and budgets

''Saved''

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
