Andrew Gonzalez from Xbox Enthusiast discusses why gamers should play Grabbed By The Ghoulies, a game by Rare that divided critics upon its initial release.
Alex S. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Rare if you’re listening we have so ideas of some other classic titles in your portfolio that would be great to be brought back and none of them are called Banjo-Kazooie."
I think the real issue is that the minds that made those games special are nowhere around. When it’s a series that gets new versions regularly like a COD, Forza, Gears, or Halo you can’t really feel the effects so much of teams changing although I’m sure they do, and all the time. Part of that original vision can live on through some of those team members that remain. In these LONG dormant games they have a far greater chance of ruining the memory of these games and the feel they have us than recapturing it. I think that’s also why Rare hasn’t had a hit since they left Nintendo. Rare should be left to their own vices to make a find a identity and make a new IP. ONLY time I saw a whole new team knock it out the park is the new God of War. Corey killed that.
Interesting list, I never heard of the gameboy game they had talked about. But I would still like new IPs this gen.
As an Xbox website, it would be remiss to say that the Xbox One has had its’ detractors this generation. After stumbling about with their Xbox One reveal a few years before, Microsoft and their gaming brand were in a period of transition. But Rare Replay had another trick up its sleeve to appeal to a core Xbox audience. Their announcement promised 30 games priced at £20, with 10000 Gamerscore. It was an achievement hunters wet dream.
Everyone knows Halo, Gears of War, and Forza. But which other exclusives on Xbox One that you should absolutely be playing?
None of those games are "Xbox One Exclusives".
What if I wrote an article about these same game and said they were "PC exclusive"? lol...Xbox fans would erupt.
Moral of the story - if you want to play exclusives you must have a PlayStation, it's the best bet.
I personally only bought the Xbox one when i did because I had to have Titanfall. That game is so underrated in how it revolutionized the movement in the genre.
None of those games is exclusive to Xbox One. Rare Replay is a collection of Nintendo games and the rest are available on Steam.
Rare replay has a bunch of older Rare Nintendo games on it, but also has a selection of Xbox and Xbox360 exclusives on it which are not available on steam (Grabbed by the Ghoulies, PDZ, Kameo,Viva Pinata etc)
Rare Replay is an exclusive in terms of the overall one proudct package and its surprisingly decent for the cost, but I think it really shows how dire a situation it is when people are having to put Rare Replay on a list trying to promote Xbox Exclusives... Jesus its been a hard gen for people who only bought Xbox's.
