This is all I can think about from that trailer.
Rumor is that Playtonic is making some sort of Banjo-Kazooie related game.Banjo Threeie, finally
I hate Microsoft buying Rare they have wasted that studio and its IPs....it would not have been hard to have a new Cokers game and Banjo game by now....hell do a remake/reboot of the first Banjo I'll buy it Day one
They copied the wrong part of Naughty Dog....ND at least makes art. Rare made a Pirate game some people liked but when you own these IPs just to let them die its so dam dumb. The Mario Team for years has made the same kinda game but found ways to spice it up thats what I wanted RARE to be.Rare seems to adopt a ND (Naughty Dog) approach: Focus on what worked in the "now". Rare wanted to move beyond just doing simple titles, and wanted to expand. I'd say they have done well, even with the minor bumps in the road. I'd rather see companies innovate than use similar ideas until they get creatively tired. Sea of Thieves shows how great Rare can do new IP with modern generation hardware, from the few times I've actually taken some real time into the game and how it works for online play.
Do I wanna see them do more Conker or Banjo? I would disagree. And it's why I'm happy with groups like The Initative doing the Perfect Dark revitalization, or the rumors of Playtonic getting their hands on Banjo. I'd rather see new devs take on Rare IP's, then to see Rare devs try new things. And honestly, I wouldn't mind seeing Rare put some of their work on Switch, and kind of hope that Game Pass/xCloud comes. It'd be great to play Sea Of Thieves on a console like Switch, and to not be worried about graphical limitations.
It..gives me a thought.
What if, with Nintendo's E3 plans..that we may see an announcement for both Mother 3, and a Mother 3 rep in Smash. The reason I say this, because of the stuff that @Chris Galindo posted, is alongside something that has taken notice: the lack of Porky in Smash Ultimate. Ever since day 1 of Ultimate's launch, Porky has been incredibly absent for Smash, with omissions of music and likeness (not even in Spirits). What if, alongside a Porky announcement for Smash, they're going to release Mother 3 globally via the Eshop, on the day of Nintendo's E3 show?
I'd almost say that in the case of Mother 3, it's garnered a very unique status in the the industry, as the black sheep that hasn't been properly acknowledged. With both Reggie and Terry getting at it, I am starting to smell smoke that *something* has to be rolling about for Mother 3 in one way or another. And my curiosity on that goes, if Nintendo does legal action on the Mother 3 fan translations in the month of May.
