WhiteWolf Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Images of Microsoft and Rare's canned Kameo sequel have appeared online, and it looks like they were planning a more realistic art direction for the 360 fantasy game. CVG revealed back in 2009 that the Kameo sequel was just one casualty of a Microsoft project cull at Rare, to make way for more Natal development. Leaked Kameo 2 images Now, Sergey Rakhmanov, who worked at Rare for 7 years as a Senior Graphic Engineer and is currently looking for a job, has posted some images of his past projects - released and canned - over on his blog. The artwork shows the above bombshell Kameo 2 design, plus work on an unnamed fantasy game and a fitness title for Kinect, all of which have presumably been canned. There's even a video of Kameo in action here --- Video:- http://www.heroes4you.com/index.php?page=showreel Speaking to Edge last year Rare creative director George Andreas admitted that discussing Kameo is still "painful" for the developer, and that after moving a title about a fairy away from the family-friendly Nintendo audience towards the shooter-loving Xbox crowd, there was only one thing to do: Lie and say Kameo was an elf. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/297080/news/a-look-at-rares-canned-kameo-2/ BC MS....

This is about how hardcore titles were affected because of project NATAL. :X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 ROFL @ Hardcore titles. Kameo was rated in the 70s at metacritic (and remember games were getting extra points back then just for being on new consoles, hell GRAW got rated at 90 and thats just about an average game). Even counting bundled sales (which were probably most of its sales) it still sold miserably. Even people who liked it dont exactly go around calling it a cult classic. It was average in every single sense of the word. And yet you think they should have just bankrolled Kameo 2 simply because it was a hardcore title? I am surprised Rare even got to the concept art stage. If I was MS I would have laughed them right out of the room. Its been at least 10 years since Rare has made great games. Kinect games and Avatar items is all they should be allowed to touch. Thats all they should ever get financing for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choron ka raja Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 D-A has not played with himself for quite some time, hence the sudden love for those two pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Afty, Aagain it's not about Kameo. My concern is the approach of MS towards main-stream gaming market in their quest for the arcade gaming market And Rare are a talented bunch......they also made PDZ. I for one, loved that game. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Frag Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 no doubt ..MS has only 1 exclusive for this year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devil_angel Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 And look ar the 3rd party multiplat titles, they're thriving on the 360. Yet MS wants to stay low and invest in arcade gaming market. Maybe MS has forgotten the fact that exclusive mainstream titles are what have made the xbox 360 what it is today!
