MundoRare Closes

Saying goodbye is never easy, especially after nearly a full decade of dedication and commitment. MundoRare opened its doors on January 19th, 2001 and it closes them down today. The decision to take this final step is a carefully thought-out one, although we make it under an atmosphere of mixed feelings. We started our journey back [...]

Will Lag in Kinect Sports be an issue? Rare says no

There have been claims by those that have played Kinect Sports that the game is lagging, which is certainly not a good impression to make or stigma for Rare to have these days. According to Nick Burton, Executive Producer of Technology and Communications, “Lag is not an issue. As with any prototype stuff, of course it [...]

GoldenEye 007 and Donkey Kong Country Returns revealed

Nintendo’s press conference is over, and, while Rare wasn’t mentioned, follow-ups to Rare’s beloved titles were announced. First off, GoldenEye 007 was announced. What was a particular slap in the face was that when Reggie talked about the game and how successful it was, not once was Rare mentioned. The boxart for the original game [...]

Kinect Sports and… that’s it, really

Hopefully those that have found out about Kinect Sports were able to stave off suicide for a few hours, because Microsoft’s Press Conference had more to say about it. The conference revealed that Kinect Sports will be a launch title for Kinect. Besides that? Sadly, that’s it. While we’re pretty sure Kinect Sports will be better [...]

Rare’s next title is Kinect Sports

Right, let’s get up to date with what’s been going on in the past 24 hours. Project Natal, as catchy a title it was, is now replaced with Kinect. The Cirque du Soleil event showed Kameo, and many assumed it was a Kameo sequel, but it was merely the original game being shown. Why that [...]

James Bond will return in November

Around November, MundoRare reported on the possibility of a GoldenEye 007 game coming to the Wii. Given that Rare has been absorbed into Microsoft Game Studios, it was safe to say that they wouldn’t be responsible for it. Now we have reports of the possible remake coming to both the Wii and DS this November. [...]

Rare’s teaser website is online

A few days ago, Rare changed their icon from the iconic gold that we eventually got adjusted to in the end to a logo with the Rare “R” being smaller than ever. Since the previous article, Rare posted on their news section that the logo was designed “with versatility in mind.” What exactly they mean [...]

Rare rebrands for its 25th Anniversary

Change is a very, very fickle thing in our lives. Some accept it easier than others; some utterly despise the concept. It depends on what it is that’s being changed. In recent Rare news, that change is the Rare logo. After seven years of the slim and sleek Rare logo taking away the “Ware” and [...]

Will Perfect Dark Return?

Now that Perfect Dark XBLA has been ingrained on 360 fans, one wonders what the next step will be, if anything. According to OXM’s rumor section, the next step seems to be a sequel to Perfect Dark, if this quote’s of any indication: “The Ball sees a redheaded girl in a spandex suit…” Also worthy [...]

A Natal game this October?

While Microsoft accidentally confirms October as the release date for Natal, and LG a possible 3D game bundle, Rare says that they "may release a game this year".

A Rare Natal game “may be” released in October 2010

Things have been quiet lately regarding Rare development. With nothing more than the not very recent Xmas Greeting (which featured some tidbits of what they may be working on), the company is keeping a low profile while 4J Studios focuses on the remake of some of their past glories (which has been proved to be [...]
