Like Bungie, I imagine Rare is just a name, as the poineers aka original development team are long gone now.
Which mostly explains the current quality of games being released by these 2 once great Studios.
EA isn't the only Studio killer, Activision & Microsoft have a track record as well.
Wish this game was slated for a fall 2018 release. It's gonna be a good one.

I agree.
It's seems to be business 101 in Capitalism.
"Why You Should Give Star Wars Battlefront II A Second Chance"
Lmao.
That's the problem with game consumers right now. Too forgiving, you can't when a consumer war against big business if your not willing to sacrifice & take casualities.
The more forgiving, the more chances you giving these Publishers who implement gambling features into our games, the more there going to take advantage.
Only when yo...
@BearedDrachen
Consider this.
Is there going to be a Halo 6 this Gen? or just maybe the plan is for Halo 6 to be a Next Gen Launch title, like Halo was for OG Xbox.
There has very little if any info on Halo 6, I think I remember Phil Spencer mention that 343 is hard @ work, & things are looking fantastic, paraphrasing.
Considering Next Gen will most likely begin in the fall of 2020, if there is no info or showing of...
I don't believe Phil Spencer, I don't believe Microsoft.
They will say ANYTHING, to keep fans believing, while they continue to invest heavily in online & services.
There is no Xbox Division, it's become apart of the Windows division.
This Generation Microsoft has mainly been a continuous transition into Services, & Online , Digital services etc, for the Xbox platform.
While Sony has focused on AAA...
@darthv72
How do u explain the wide Gap between revenue of the PS4 platform vs the Xbox 1 platform of multiplayer/Services focus?
Microsoft growth may be up this but compared to what?
So by what standard are we measuring Microsofts growth by?
If you look @ that PS4 platform which is the lead console this Gen by a very far measure & is the runaway winner, with it's focus on gamers 1st, what gamers want/expect, ...
@Christopher
I agree, games aren't the only thing that matters.
But Games matter the most, not service's, which are Secondary.
Sony has games this Gen, games that are big AAA exclusives, hence they have sold more consoles, & are winning this Gen , because of the games.
MS is losing this Gen, because they don't have the AAA Exclusives that define a platform.
MS arguably has better ser...
@gangsta_red
I know your smart enough to understand that games are what matter most, exclusive games....
Not only exclusives, but AAA exclusives that can only be played on a specific console of choice.
I know you understand this, & I know you know MS has not fixed this problem.
So, what has MS fixed?
Anything outside of AAA Exclusives is not going to matter.
Be honest with yoursel...

@BeardedDrachen
I agree. I'm not sure how they missed your point either.
I don't understand or see the point in MS execs, congratulating what is obvious, Sony is making great AAA games this Gen.
MS is not making great AAA games, & should be focused on that, not sure what congratulating your competition is doing for the Xbox1 platform.
I think that was the point of BeardedDrachen &...
@Tko1111
And why are some who will never play the game complaining?
Maybe because it's a game that released with very little content.
@ DivineAssault
Agreed.
I echoed this exact sentiment .
Hmm.
Is this formula of releasing a game with little content, then a month or so later releasing an update that adds content, really gonna catch on?
We'll see.
I'm just saying, it isn't by "accident" that certain Publisher's are trying to start this trend
Personally, I don't like this trend, nor would I support it. Why?
Because it will more than likely lead to abuse, ...
@DarkVoyager
I agree.
Some people want to give Phil Spencer credit, for what I'm not sure, imo Phil Spencer doesn't operate independentally, I imagine he answers to MS hire ups.
Yea that's what "I " want, a remake, no one needs to agree , it's my opinion.
I've played Shenmue 1&2 alot, I had over 90 Games for my Dreamcast B4 I eventually sold it for an OG Xbox & some games.
I speak for myself, alot gamers would rather have "remaster" as you stated. Fine, to each his own.
Would have been nice to see Shenmue 1&2 remastered using the Unreal 4 engine, but, this will suffice.
Kinda has my attention, I'm intrigued after watching the latest vids on it.
Finally, someone said it.
But, to each there own, as I'm sure quite a many gamer our enjoying the Switch.
Yes Nintendo Exclusives, Yes more 3rd Party offerings this time around. But the actual quality of the 3rd party offerings?
Not so sure about that, & the ports of console games this Gen, uhm no, not good enough imo.
The Switch is a handheld that is quite under powered, therein lay the central problem imo. ...
