TT was excellent, but he had nothing on the giant cock.

Herminator

his name was tt, if i am not mistaken. loved DKR. it was far greater then mariokart 64. this is just my opinion, but it's the truth. anyway. with something like XBLA why not make something new and exciting instead of mini games?

@legacyed:

Hehehehe, good call :)

Aimless

HEY THAT CLOCK HAS A NAME, SIR.

I don't know it. But anyway, wow.

Seestoff

I'm fairly certain that Uncle Tusk would not approve of such a game.

Draconis

Well at least now Rare isn't even pretending that they aspire to release anything other than actual crap for the 360.

(Can't comment on Viva Pinata you Furry Nazis, but I'm neither a 6 year-old nor a Furry, so there's no real reason for me to play it.)

stranger

@okenny :): no i'm pretty sure thats weird

mossberg

@Infil: I figured SEGA would've been at the top...

Anywho, why aren't people getting all outraged and junk? I mean if this were announced on the Wii everyone would be bullshitting... *sigh* HYPOCRITES!

@HighlanderWolf:
With the next-gen power of the Xbox 360, RARE should be able to pull graphics that looks as good or even better than that Skunk in the video. People who enjoy DOAX have already experienced how awesome costumes look on their favorite fighter. I'm hoping that RARE puts a full character customization engine into the game so you can dress up the characters in outfits. I hope this game gets an AO or M+ so that people can have the kind of sexy outfits on their animals that they've always dreamed of.

@HighlanderWolf: That link is officially the lord duke of wrongville, also I think it broke my eyes.

Conker4ever

This seems pretty interesting,if they leave it as "classic" rare characters,none of that Viva Pinata trite.Playing as the characters themselves would also be neat addition,but the whole thing will fail if Drumstick the chicken is not available,you here me rare,No Drumstick=Pure fail

(above link *might* be NSFW... it's kinda on the border between wrong and silly)

HighlanderWolf

Is this so wrong?

@Erwin211: I mean "a new label for me now".

Erwin211

@okenny :): I meant descriptive, not grotesque. And I find you finding me judgmental judgmental.
Please disregard the post in question anyway as I've now painted myself into a corner here. McWhertor already has a new for me now and I don't care for it.

Erwin211

Hey Rare, here's a tip: KILLER INSTINCT 3. Ditch this friggin' shovelware.

Zanch

@Erwin211: What about animals? I know if this game takes of with RARE, people will want to dress as these characters and have intercourse but there are those in the furry community who follow stricter orthodoxy who will find animals in real life that closest resemble the in-game character, lets say a sexy chipmunk as pictured above, and have tender sex with it. This act isn't offensive but people look down on furries because they think the animal didn't want it. That alone is judgmental but the judger also fails to understand the deep emotional connection that comes with a sexual relationship with an animal so they make judgments based off of superficials observation.

BTW... i find your use of "graphic" to be judgmental.

okenny :)

RARE was good in the past but now....:(

symphony_of_the_night

@McWhertor: Great. Now I'm a pariah.
Note to self: Triple check posts.

Erwin211

@legacyed: And, dude, I wasn't taking a shot at your decision to post this story. It was more a commentary on the direction Rare has chosen to go as of late. Let's face it, they are far, far, from their N64 heyday.

legacyed

Rare is no longer the same company that it once was. The key players are gone, and with them, the greatness. They might be just behind Sega as the biggest developer fall from grace ever. It makes me a bit sad, but what are you going to do? Buy something else, theres a ton of good games out there.

belain

@Erwin211: Erwin211: Friend of the Furries

@legacyed: We'll just see about that! *watches pageviews*

McWhertor

@Erwin211: Did I really just post that?

Erwin211

I still want the Conker's BFD multiplayer games (N64) to be online in their original glory.

Beach all day baby!

SAKY

@okenny :): It's not the idea of furries. I'm fine with people doing it, even with your graphic depiction, I just don't partake of this particular activity. It's just like how I support open homosexuality, but I still don't have sex with other men (as far as I know).

Erwin211

when are we, as gamers, going to admit to ourselves that Rare just is NOT a great videogame company? PD and Goldeneye were incredible in their time (although I personally tought PD was overrated), but Conker: Live and PDZ were just terrible (Conker single player was funny, but not particularly great).

Most of their games are overhyped and entirely forgettable.

Leyland's_Lungs

@McWhertor: It's just that I don't think the average Kotaku reader is that interested in the cutesy fluff that Rare puts out. I'll start getting exciting when they revive the Killer Instinct franchise.

legacyed

"simplified waggle"

That made me lol... shaking a controller back and forth is too complicated! :o

fuchikoma

Before anyone gets all offended by the idea of furries, I'd like to point out: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TWO MEN DRESSED AS FURRY CREATURES INJECTING HOT SPERM INTO EACH OTHERS RECTUMS (...I'm on the boarder about feltching though)!! Stop judging people and keep it about the games.

okenny :)

@Charron: He was busy playing Petz Catz 2.

McWhertor

@marissa_melee: Point taken. Bad image left. I just ate something too.

Erwin211

What surprises me is you didn't give this one to Fahey. Thought he was the resident pseudo-furry news guy.

Charron

ya of course its news. just cause you don't like rare games doesn't mean a damn thing.

giovonti

@legacyed: Are you implying that an unknown game announcement from Rare, one of the most expensive developer acquisitions in history, is "not news"? Really? I couldn't be less interested in such a product, as with just about anything Rare, but this is most definitely newsworthy.

McWhertor

Whatever happened to Rare? They used to make games everyone frothed over. Now, no one really cares. I mean, maybe Banjo-Threeie will be good, eventually. But when you talk about falls of great developers, Rare has to be at the top of the list.

Infil

GREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

mossberg

@Erwin211: Nope...pretty much the same kind.

marissa_melee

@Lightguy: Quick, get a gun.

Nikolii

In all the years I've been coming to Kotaku. This is the first post that I've ever seen that has made me stop and ask, "does anybody find this newsworthy?" I'm about as revved up for a collection of banjo-kazooie mini-games as I am for a vasectomy.

legacyed

That stupid clock! I swear every boss in that game cheated like nothing else.
Especially the octopus.

One_Way_Mule

@Lightguy: With full next-gen balls mapping it may attract a different kind of gamer.

Erwin211

Oh god, the furrys will be all over this one.

Lightguy

@Herminator: Drumstick was pretty awesome,but I hope were talking about the same cock.

Conker4ever

Ahem.

FUCKING FURRIES!

Forelli_Boy

I take one day off from and this hits! ugh!!

huginn

Rare used to make good games. Just sayin', is all. Is there anyone left there who actually developed the classics that made Rare a company Bill Gates considered worth a 400 million dollar purchase price? They haven't delivered once since they went first-party with Microsoft (and their last game on a Nintendo console wasn't so hot either -- StarFox Meets Zelda on a Dinosaur, or whatever). What was the first game they put out for the Xbox? I'm thinking it was that awful Grabbed By a Ghoulie (was that its name?). They haven't really improved much since then.

I'm still waiting for Donkey Kong Racing to release on the GameCube. There was a screenshot on the back of my launch box when I bought it and I was actually looking forward to that game. I had a lot of fun with Diddy Kong Racing on the N64.

Sloopydrew

@Sloopydrew: yeah dkr was my first game on my n64, along with mario, and it was bloody great, but i'm in total agreement with you about the current state of rare, all the decent guys must've gone to free radical...

cheeseboybeans

Don't care unless its a new KI or a new Conker's Bad Fur Day 2.
