Jonnas Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 DCubed has a good point: the original article said Rare "built" this IP, not that they're "using" or "revisiting" it. And yet they also phrased it in a way that made it seem like a familiar IP. The power of exact words... Well, on the bright side, nobody's waving the corpse of a nostalgic franchise.

Unless it's related to this But nah, I reckon it'll be a new IP and that's a good thing. As has been rightfully pointed out, new Rare is a completely different company from the Rare/Rareware we knew and loved, so it's better to see them forge their own path rather than chase their lost legacy.

Charlie Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's got to be Perfect Dark. Rare don't have any other "historic" franchises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekunando Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 It's got to be Perfect Dark. Rare don't have any other "historic" franchises. From some of the talk at the conference from Microsoft it was like gaming didn't exist before the original XBOX, so 'historic', for them, could be Conker or even Kinect Sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I didn't expect Rare to comment on this picture: @Cube1701 The first thing I said myself was "that picture makes it look like it's something to do with knights". So, not to do with knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 If you take "historic" as meaning nothing but xbox history then Grabbed by the Ghoulies is historic in that it was the first Microsoft published Rare game. I actually enjoyed it for the humour, even if gameplay terms it was somewhat limited compared to other Rare games. It's depressing to think how much they've gone down the shitter, they started the generation still being creative with Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero and Viva Pinata and ended it making the two Kinect Sports games and avatar content.

bryanee Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Clearer image of the Rare game He doesn't look like a Knight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Clearer image of the Rare game He doesn't look like a Knight. Yeah he does. Like a cartoony version of an English knight that fought in in the crusades and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ville Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Actually it looks more like a futuristic driving suit or something, it's all slick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 No I think it looks like a knight. I expect that looks like chainmail up closer, just all with a cartoony effect. And it's got the belt round the middle and holding the flag gown in place etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandalore Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Actually it looks more like a futuristic driving suit or something, it's all slick. Maybe he is a member of the Blast Corps demolition company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ville Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well, 1) It's not a cross pattern, there's only one junction and it's not even horizontal. Plus it looks like there's some sort of logo on his left chest. 2) The belt looks way too modern, plus it's not functional at all at chest height. Any weapon would drag it down to the hip instantly. 3) How come the arm has a design also? The grey could be a bracer, yes, but the cut is way too clean and is marked by a thick white border, which suggests it's a fabric design. 4) The glove looks like it's fabric or leather as well, not something a knight would wear. If the basic grey is chainmail, then it would make no sense for him to have no bracers or gauntlets at least. Maybe he is a member of the Blast Corps demolition company. I don't think the location is very BC-esque. Looks more like an action / adventure game locale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Definitely some kind of race suit or futuristic uniform. He also seems to be wearing something on his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 It's not a knight... as per Rare's comment and the fact that it would appear to be an alien world. The outfit has a zip and a logo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryanee Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Definitely some kind of race suit or futuristic uniform. He also seems to be wearing something on his back. Yup exactly what I thought. It looks nothing like a knight in the clear image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 I can't really see the something on his back... but having only just enlarged the pic, I now see what Shorty means about a logo on his top... hmm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Hmm futuristic, suit, like a racer... perhaps a pilot... of a ship? Jet-Pac! There's your Megaton right there! It could be the base of the classic game but fleshed out into something more suitably epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flameboy Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Now I've looked at the enlarged pic it does look more like some of futuristic suit. I'm still saying it could be a cartoony coat of arms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
