Rare say “it’d be nice” to revisit old IP’s “but that doesn’t mean we will”
Mark Betteridge, head of Microsoft-owned Rare, has been speaking to Develop about the possibility of returning to games from their past, with Betteridge saying Rare “would only go back to older franchises if [they] saw an opportunity to make the product in a different way that would do justice to [them].”
“We’d only go back to older franchises if we saw an opportunity to make the product in a different way that would do justice to that, not just for the sake of it.” Betteridge added.
He also added “a first-party’s job should be to define the Xbox 360 platform, and that’s what we are looking to do here,” with the Rare still in the market to create blockbuster titles according to Betteridge.
