No Banjo Kazooie at E3? No Viva Pinata? Blame Project Natal.
Weâve been looking for Rare at E3. Microsoftâs Shane Kim, corporate v. p. at Microsoft for Xbox 360 strategy and business development, didnât exactly tell us where they are, but he did tell us what theyâre up to.
âRare is intimately involved with Project Natal in a number of different dimensions,â Kim said, referring to Microsoftâs controller-free game control set-up thatâs been the buzz of E3. âTheyâre doing an awful lot of work, even outside the traditional game space, I would say. Unfortunately I canât go into a lot of detail about that. Rare is alive and well and really having a broader impact on the entire Xbox world than just doing the games they traditionally have in the past.â
Rareâs most recent publicly shown projects were last yearâs Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. Rare also created the Avatar system launched last last year across all Xbox 360s.
