Psychonauts 2 would not have been the phenomenal title it is without help from Microsoft.

Kinda feels like Microsoft buying a dev and wasting them *coughRarecough* are maybe passed now.

Double Fine are absolutely perfect for Game Pass. They never really had massive success with selling the games because of how quirky and/or experimental they were.

I'm really interested to see what they come up with over the next few years.

On the other hand you have Rare, who has been screwed 10 times to Sunday because they weren't allowed to make the games they wanted to make.

They gave Double Fine much more funds and let them delay the game for a couple of years. This allowed them to include everything they wanted to do within the game including boss fights.

It's much easier to make a game for a giant corporation who says yes than stretching out every dollar from a crowdfunding campaign. Which is how Double Fine had been working for years

I think Rare's problem is that Microsoft let them do what they wanted lol.

I don't think they want to make Banjo 3. You really think Microsoft forced them to make Viva Pinata over Banjo and Conker? lol

Wasn't there an expos article on Rare saying they're allowed to do what they want, and that isn't Banjo Threeie? Stuff like messing about with kinect games for years was what the people in charge at Rare wanted.

Conker

Live and Reloaded exists. Its vastly inferior to the original but it does.

It's the exact opposite actually, lol. MS lets them do whatever they want and that's why Rare has no interest in their older IPs since they always want to do new things. It's why another team took over Killer Instinct instead of Rare themselves.
