Rare on Kinect Sports 2: “There’s a Ton of Stuff We Can Still Do”

Talk of Rare working on Kinect Sports 2 has been heating up in the last few days, so TVGB took the chance to ask the team about where a possible sequel would go as they picked up the BAFTA for Best Family Game this week.

Kinect Sports is one of my fav Kinect games.
Theres a lot of variety in the games with Party Mode especially good.
Great for online line play too, Table Tennis being prob the best.
I cant wait for the follow up to it.

I know Kinect Sports isnt a hardcore title but its a great game and a lot of FUN!
I thought thats what gaming is all about.

I like my hardcore titles but that doesnt stop me enjoying this.

guigsy4795d ago

I agree, people slate this game because it's for Kinect but once you actually play it is a very fun game. I'd rather Rare be making games they are known for, but Kinect Sports is hardly shovelware.

mcstorm4795d ago

agree with you kinect sports is one of the best kinect games. We play this game more than the other kinect games we got. But as for a kinect sports 2 I don't think they should do one but bring out add on dlc for it and add 3 sports or so ever 6 to 12 months for around 800msp rather then bring a new sports game out every 12 months. I also think they should start bundling kinect sports with kinect too.

Wizziokid4795d ago

wow thanks Rare...

it's a sad sight when you watch a once great developer fall back onto poor mini-games.

Bigpappy4795d ago

Its ok non-kinect folks, if you keep crying may be they will listen to a bunch of PS3 and Wii loyalist as to what they should focus on. They have a game that has some close to 4 mil in the 5 months and still going strong. The game is competeing with big name titles on your respective consoles. This is rare's most succesful title in years and could go on to be their biggest ever. Kinect Sports is building a very strong following due to great gameplay. Rate is the best with the add-on so far.

andrewsqual4794d ago

Yeah how dare you Wizziokid, Kinect Sports is right up there with 50 Cent Bulletproof. Well done "Rate"

jay24795d ago

Oh God Rare, why have you let M$$$$$$ runin you like this?

Baka-akaB4795d ago

well technically they didnt . The "true" rare mostly left in various directions and landed at various other studios .

Stealth20k4795d ago (Edited 4795d ago )

rare rip

nintendo and sony know how to use studios and let them make games to there strengths....... Microsoft kills them and makes them make the games that they want them too

DelbertGrady4795d ago (Edited 4795d ago )

Yeah, I bet everyone over at RARE are in tears right now. Crying almost as much as a PS3 fanboy in a Kinect article.

B1663r4795d ago

Yeah, Rare probably has their tissue boxes filled with $20 bills, and every time they tear up, they pull one out of the box, and wipe their tears away with it, crumple it up and throw it away.

batguyz4795d ago

wow how low has the mighty fallen..

Second day: Xbox Live Ultimate Game Sale - toy stories

It’s all about the toys this second day of the Xbox Live Ultimate Game Sale. Gamers will enjoy 50-80% off on select LEGO, Hasbro, and a few casual titles. Think twice if you you’re first reaction is to call the following games lame. They got pretty high scores on Metacritic.

seriously if they had sales like this (steam like) then i seriously would not have had a problem with the DRM

FSThree3959d ago

Indeed. MSFT has the right vision that everything should go digital. From a business perspective, it eliminate the cost of disc production, shipping, etc. It also allows them to be more flexible in terms of pricing and sales.

However, their messaging and PR SUCKED. All Playstation had to do in their E3 event was say "we won't do what Xbox is doing," and they won.

You cannot stop the future. It will eventually get to all-digital. It is just a matter of time.

Grandma Kicks The Crap Out Of Kinect

Super PolyPixel - “Whoo! Yeah! Yeah! Whoo!” are the intense words this grandma spouts as she plays Kinect Kickball. She really is quite physically active for an 80-year-old. I thought she might bite it at about 18 seconds in and land hard on that coffee table. Watch the video and see what happens. Whoo! Yeah! – I’m going to be saying that while karate chopping everything today.

See this the audience Microsoft is going after...

How don't these companies understand that using motion in games is a CHORE. We don't want to do chores or have to work....we want to relax and be mentally stimulated and delighted by all the great music, cool art styles and amazing gameplay.

It's great that people of all ages can play games suited to them. However, I found myself very concerned for her health..

StrongMan4087d ago

This is who MS abandoned us hardcore gamers for. Take a long hard look at this and think about it.

Count4087d ago

It is silly to try and distinguish yourself as anything more than simply a gamer.

omi25p4087d ago (Edited 4087d ago )

Right now id rather be a member of that family than a miserable person on a website complaining about the family having the ability to play on the 360.

I love the fact i can sit and play core games like Crysis 3, halo 4, Dead Space 3 and more. Then be able to play with all the family and look dumb.

Gaming isn't just about being alone in a dark room anymore (I prefer the core games BTW)

fOrlOnhOpe574087d ago

Bet she's down for day one for the Nextbox lol

LackTrue4K4087d ago

MasterCornholio4087d ago
