Rare's Nick Burton, Kinect Development Director, has said the studio believes there is a lot to get excited about regarding Kinect and there is a future for hardcore games on the platform.
Asked by VideoGamer.com during a keynote at the Develop Conference this morning if the Microsoft owned studio would go back to making hardcore games for Xbox 360 and Kinect, Burton said: "For us, until you start on that product, it's difficult to say what we're going to do."
He added: "We got so excited about Kinect … What we're seeing with Kinect is just the first wave"
Pushed for an answer on the subject of hardcore gaming, Burton added: "There are so many possibilities for those kind of things, but I'm not going to tell you what they are!
"When you've got so many inputs, why would you not use those for any experience?"

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!"
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.

Louise O’Connor, a 25-year Rare veteran, has been made Xbox Game Studios’ Chief of Staff.
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.
"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.

2025 marks the 40th ‘Ruby’ Anniversary of that bold endeavour, and Rare’s inviting everyone to join the celebration of this impressive milestone, offering free gifts, discounts and plenty of swag to claim in their shared-world pirate adventure, Sea of Thieves.
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.
Oh come on, this isn't going to happen, you guys couldn't even give us a good BK game on 360, your punishment, you've been reduced to showing a rip-off of Wii Sports so far, if you were making a hard core game you should have either not shown off 360 sports and shown that, shown both, or shown nothing at all until your hard core/next game's ready to show.......
I'm interested to see how a hardcore title will work with Kinect
Killer Instinct 3.
Make it happen!
I'll believe it when I see it.
rip rare.
