Rare dev wanted to start Kameo 2 immediately

28
Speaking to VideoGamer.com at last week's Develop conference in Brighton, Rare senior software engineer Nick Burton has revealed that he was keen to begin work on a Kameo sequel immediately after the first game was complete.

"This is just me personally, I was very big for the second we got Kameo out, for hitting the deck running and going right we're doing Kameo 2, we're going to take 12 to 18 months to do it, bang, it's done," explained Burton. "But for one reason or another we didn't do that in the time frame where you could hit that sweet spot. So she's got to take a hiatus."

1 - It's about freaking time!
I have been waiting on a sequel to Kameo since it was released. I guess I am one of the few that really liked this game. Titles like this are too far and few on the 360. Now if only Rare could make a new Conker, Killer Instinct and PD0 sequel.

Edit: I just read in another article Rare is working on a new Conker! 1 down 2 more to go.

I would love a sequel too.
*SPOILER*
Yes she restored everything and turned her sister into stone including this big goblin. But as I remember there was still the witch. She turned out to be bad at the end
Edit: Did you know that Kameo had 3000 trolls and 1000 humans at once on the big battlefield. That's quite impresssive for a launch title
(quote: ...and I just looked at the performance and we can have a couple more thousand if we want as well. In the end they said let's leave it at 4000, we'll have 3000 trolls and 1000 guys.)

I really enjoyed kameo and I tell anyone that ask about what games to get to pick it up especially if they are looking for something cheap cause you can get the game for 10 dollars. I actually see a lot of people suggest it as a good cheap game so while it doesnt have a gow or halo type fan based it does have a good size fanbased

2 - these guys from Rare
talk as much as Microsoft, no wonder they're in bed together. Too bad Rare is just a shell of what they used to be.

when do these guys plan to shut up. If you are going to do something do it. Don't run your mouth all day talking about some game you are going to make.

In my opinion they are just trying to make some hype for their upcoming games.

3.2 - FYI
all the Rare stories are from the same site, and the same article which has been split into several parts.

My take on the article is that once the "Banjo 3" dev team finish Banjo 3 they will sit back for a couple months and "wait and see" just how well or not "quite so well" Banjo 3 does....

Once they get a good read somewhere in january 09' they will then decide on which IP to move to next....Banjo 4 or kameo 2? It all hinges on Banjo 3's sales...

I didn't think Kameo was too bad. But they need to make other sequels like a proper one for Perfect Dark and Conker.

I always hear that Killer Instinct was good, too bad I never got a chance to play it.

Kameo 2 would be really really nice.......Rare bringing a lot of platformers to Microsoft would be lovely.

Why would anyone make a sequel of a game that didn't sell well? That makes no business sense.
