Nintendo never owned Rare, they had the same setup as Housemarque (bluepoint, Quantic Dream, etc) and Sony, acting as a second party studio. Which is why nintendo still own so much of its IP

I hate to say it, but they're probably gonna speed it up and turn it into some CoD bullshyt like they ended up doing with Halo. 
I still got the remaster of the original.

PDZ got terrible reviews, but I was 14 when it dropped and never even heard of the original Perfect Darks. I got this and Call Of Duty 2 along with my 360 Christmas 2005, shyt was

Rare was a 2nd party studio at the time with the Stamper Brothers owning the rest of Rare. Nintendo had to divest themselves of Rare so that Microsoft could purchase Rare. Microsoft owns all of the IP with the exception of Diddy Kong Racing. If they own all of the other characters in the game outside of Diddy Kong, I honestly don't know.

Other games like Battletoads and RC Pro Am is owned by Microsoft as well. That's why they were on the Rare Replay release.

This will be nothing like Call of Duty breh. It will likely be a far better Mirror's Edge.

Crazy you think these studios aren't involving tons of other studios.A 'AAAA' studio that needs help + an overrated studio who needs help =
Insomniac, Naughty Dog or any other Sony dev needing to team up? Couldn't be us

This needs to be great because Splinter Cell has been butchered and Metal Gear is in purgatory with no end in sight.
Hitman is the only true stealth action game still worth a damn!

I think they should keep it simple. An FPS with flashy graphics that plays similar the the N64 version.

I don’t think I’ve ever heard of a studio refer to outsourcing as a co-development partnership
Sounds more like the initiative is gonna be the support studio for crystal dynamics considering their size

M$ studios so trash, they have to get Crystal Dynamics to make their games for them.
Sounds like it'll be majority of not only these two companies, usually it's not announced topic and especially ahead of time and with triple A games.
This is something that happens with almost every big double and triple A game though
In this case I think CD is going to be out sourced but also co developing like they said. They have the man power and experience, instead of involving a ton of outsourced teams which sets them up for leaks they can lean on CD and maybe a handful of others instead
