Rare Currently Working On Cloud-Based Kinect Game

Posted on Thursday, November 29 @ 13:44:49 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


I'm sure the mention of Rare stirs up all sorts of mixed emotions within your gaming soul. From fond memories to wasted opportunities, this infamous developement studio has certainly made a name for itself in the gaming industry.

According to a job listing for a "Principal Network Services Engineer" (via OXM) Rare will continue to develop for Microsoft's motion-centric technology. Interestingly enough, the post also indicates work on "Cloud Services" which would lead one to believe that the game will feature some sort of cloud integration. Here's an excerpt from the listing:

Following on from the success of Kinect Sports and its recent sequel Kinect Sports: Season Two, Rare is continuing to push the boundaries of the Kinect hardware with our exciting new project. We’re looking for an experienced and passionate engineer to join us on this journey.

This role will involve you working as part of the Cloud Services engineering team in order to develop and deliver Cloud Services for our current and future products. As part of your role, you will be required to work closely with Artists, Designers, Producers and Program Managers.

Are you excited at the prospect of having more Kinect-focused games? Do you think it's time for Microsoft to fully embrace the benefits that come with cloud gaming? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

    "Pushing the boundaries" is a bit of an exaggeration when it comes to Kinect. What happened to Rare? They used to make such classic masterpieces.

    Rare is nothing more than a name that once was. The Rare staff that created some of the best games ever made for numerous console generations is long gone.

    After the PlayStation/N64 era Rare pretty much went downhill starting with the horrific Perfect Dark Zero. I still don't know why it got such high reviews and was complete crap.
