To this day, Rare is known for their valuable IPs created during the 1990s. Despite this, studio head Mark Betteridge says they will only return to those franchises if they truly had a fresh idea for a new installment.
“[We] would only go back to older franchises if we saw an opportunity to make the product in a different way that would do justice to [them]… It’d be nice to go back to these projects that have been successful in the past, but that doesn’t mean we will.”
Oh? So we should forgot about the fact that this past decade has seen remakes of Conker, Diddy Kong Racing, Perfect Dark, as well as sequels in the Perfect Dark and Banjo Kazooie franchises? I’m not criticizing, I’m just little surprised by this statement. Either way, it’s good to see that – ideally – Rare wants to focus on developing new IPs in the future. I think it will open up new doors for them.
