Layoffs hit Rare following Kinect Sports Rivals flop
Microsoft-owned developer Rare has suffered layoffs after the release of Xbox One exclusive Kinect Sports Rivals failed to set tills alight, Eurogamer can reveal. Multiple, separate sources indicated to Eurogamer that the studio, which has focused on the Kinect Sports series in recent years, had recently suffered layoffs. |
Rare is only Rare in name nowadays. The studio has almost no ties to the success they had with Nintendo all those years ago.
People looking for them to do anything worthwhile will always be disappointed. There's a reason why they've been working on avatar trash for years - they're not a good studio. The creativity behind the success with Nintendo, founders Tim and Chris Stamper, left the studio almost a decade ago.
