Images of Microsoft and Rare's canned Kameo sequel have appeared online, and it looks like they were planning a more realistic art direction for the 360 fantasy game.
Rare has had a handful of games cancelled over the years, and a bunch during the Xbox 360 generation. Looking at which of these games should get a second chance.
I would like a Perfect Dark 2 (not Zero) and a new Jet Force Gemini would be really cool.
Heres some games that need/ deserve sequels with modern mechanics and the full triple A treatment.
Conkers
Jet Force Gemini
Kameo
Blast Corps
Not all of these need to be 65 dollar games, for example I envision Blast Corps to be an arcade game.
But something like Jet Force? Thats untapped potential.
Kamiya is "kind of busy on Scalebound" right now, though.
LOST ODYSSEY 2 PLEASE. Too Human 2 & snagging the Jade Empire IP from Bioware wouldn't hurt my feelings either.
Considering the E3 briefing had no announcement from Rare - let's hope they are working on it, and a reboot of Blast Corps. And a reboot of Jet Force Gemini. :)
No more Remakes for the year. . Each console should have a max or 3 remakesa year limit.
Take that money and resources and make a new ip.
LegitGamer - Rare began development on Kameo long before its eventual release date on the 360, on different console – the Gamecube – and for a Nintendo instead of Microsoft. It shows, offering a beautiful HD world full of interesting creatures and locations that wouldn’t seem out of place in a Zelda title. Perhaps it is for this reason alone that I think Kameo deserves a sequel, that there just isn’t enough adventure on the 360.
i remember when i first saw kameo at walmart being demoed... I thought it was the most beautifulest thing I had ever seen lol. it was a good looking game when it came out. never had the chance to actually play it besides the demo.
It's a great game, characters control smoothly, and the engine did what other games still can't do. Co-op campaign as well.
Been asking for a sequel to this for a while already.
You would think with microsoft being all casual lately they would make a sequal to this game with optional kinect controls...
well im not really angry, it would be nice to have a sequal with those features thats all.
poor rare.
Kameo was a highly underrated launch game. It was a great mix of being a platformer and adventure game.
Microsoft sure screwed up by not having a sequel.
Didn't Microsoft make Rare cancel Conkers another bad fur day or something like that.
Anyway I was a lil disapointed with Banjo Nuts and Bolts...it felt more like a spin off game then the third game. I hated going against the clock for a jiggy. If you want me to collect jiggys then hide them in the level and I'll find them, let me do missions for people and let us take our time or give us them as a reward for solving puzzles
I can't believe that were going to change Kameo and Perfect Dark into more mature games. They were better off cancelling them rather than tarnishing their reputations.
/sigh.
Why would they stop these sequels? There seemed to be some good ones in the work.
Kameo 2
Perfect Dark
