"There's nothing quite like dusting off an old console, struggling to work out if it'll actually work with your considerably newer TV and finally letting all those memories and over-sized polygons wash over like a retro rain. Sadly, with modern machines being the powerhouses that they are, dialing back the hardware clock is fast becoming a lost pastime."
Rare Studio Head Craig Duncan recently shared to Polygon in an interview what they are using for the development of their next title Everwild.
Wesley Yin-Poole: "I sat down with studio head Craig Duncan, a Rare veteran of nearly nine years and passionate Liverpool fan, to find out more about how Rare got to this point, where it's going, and how Sea of Thieves and Everwild fit into the masterplan."
Rare Studio Head Craig Duncan talked about the upcoming Microsoft console codenamed Project Scarlett, xCloud and the company's plans for PC gaming.
Cant wait to see Cinderella at the ball now because it's pure spin spin spin. Pure talking from Microsoft for years and years but they never have anything to show. -Spinderella-
Yeh I've heard this before. Last e3
And the one before
And before
And before that.
some of us can't let go.. There are certain games that still haunt me that I've got to revisit. Thank MS for Backward Compatibility.. :D
I would say, most of the rare replay collection is better off kept as a memory. Only Banjo Kazooie (1&2), Conker, Nuts and Bolts, Kameo and Viva Pinyata are really worth the replay, on the replay collection.
The ZX spectrum games are relics, and do not hold up today in respect to their design, or controls. They are pieces of history that have been far outclassed by their modern day counterparts. Meanwhile, games like Perfect Dark Zero, were never good games to begin with and titles like the original Perfect Dark, and Jet Force Gemmini are very simplistic in comparison to modern day shooters, while at the same time crippled by counter-intuitive control schemes that don't map nicely to the XBOX ONE controller.
Overall the bundle is decent, but it's not quite as amazing as some make out. It's very unlikely that most consumers will get much entertainment out of the majority of titles on the rare replay collection.
