I will give it a read asap. Thanks for the link!

I can’t understand how Nintendo could ever decide to sell Rare. A while ago I read an interesting article on Eurogamer and even Simon Parkin could not decisively say who was ultimately to blame for Rare’s fall from the video game zenith. It is an interesting read if you’ve got some spare time, I highly recommend it:

Amen to that. Seriously, I might just cry after reading your post. I need to get a time machine and prevent Rare from… Who am I kidding? Never gonna happen. =(

It’s tragic, really. Conker’s Bad Fur Day is still one of the most hilarious (if one digs that pitch-black British humor) games and it was the only game on N64 to feature hours of fully voiced cinematics in SP and MP. It’s MP was incredibly ingenious and fun.

Rare easily produced the most memorable, fun and technically impressive games for Nintendo. I’m deeply saddened to see those geniuses of video game craftsmanship reduced to a Kinect sports and avatars studio only.

I will fondly remember the fun days I had with Rare’s games and I did accept the fact that Retro Studios will most likely fill that spot at Nintendo. Those guys are also highly skilled and incredibly talented.

R.I.P. Rare(ware).

Naughty Dog your freaking awesome :D

Well said! Let’s all take a moment to remember the old Rare.

Old Rare… I miss you guys! =(

@Spicy Chicken: Dagnabbit, Discus double-post fail. Sorry. >_<

I see what you did there… and I approve! (And so would Coyote I’m sure, a naughty God if ever there was one ^_^).

Agreed and no keep the age and everything! more interesting that way.

Right… Except wanting Ellie to be better developed physically would technically mean wanting her to look older (because by definition she would), which is the LAST thing Mr. Bear would want! :P
Being serious I think her design is perfect as is though and her character’s looking increasingly awesome with every new reveal (just like the rest of the game, actually). And no offense to anyone, but I’m more interested in this story than the one in BEYOND: Two Souls, at least from what I’ve seen so far.

Still, I’m going to have to avoid watching anymore trailers for this (much like a certain other game that also features a female ‘sidekick’) for the same reason as Grandia. I want the experience to be as fresh as possible when I play the game.

The gameplay looks great too, although I need to see more before I can fairly judge it, but nonetheless, I cant wait to find out when we’ll be playing this gem:)

I fucking hope so, since it’s my first time going : P
This sequence looks amazing, though.
Naughty God! xD

I think at this point it’s just the more open the game is and the more choices the player gets to make with inventory and confrontation/non-confrontation and different paths and finding hidden things in the world… that’s the part that’s going to make this game even better. So I hope we see more of that now.

PEDO BEAR ALERT!
