This was originally supposed to release October 2016.

I wonder will it make the March 2017 date?

Day one, regardless of when it comes out.

Personally I didnt like the design og the green lizard thing. Game might be fun though

If this is successful i would like to see them to do a Conker type game next, since i guess there's no chance of them getting the actual rights to that.

I think Rare helped them build this game. I don't remember where I heard it though. But I do know that they have a very good relationship with Rare.

edit: ahh here it is. They are former Rare developers.

They didn't help build it but they know what Rare is working on and they might collaborate.

I bet all the drugs and cocaine helped a lot in the 90's.
God bless it. hehe

Yeah I'm sure anyone with common sense would want to fry their brain with that stuff..

Are you the same person still preaching the evils of marijuana when in 2016 it's well established that the medical applications are so vast and the negatives so minimal.
