Nooooooooooooooooooooooo...

That really sucks. Was sure hoping for a new KI.

Oh sh!!!!!!!!!t,

they really screwed themself real good,

fu*kin' Microsoft ! what have you done ? Or at least make Killer Instinct the last franchise...

Not Banjo !

rare is not the powerhouse it use to be.

LOL @SKY...Just because RARE don't make games that appeal to the 20+ audience doesn't mean they are not a powerhouse. RARE does exactly what their supposed to do. Kameo/Viva and Banjo are powerhouse material for the younger audience and that's undeniable. Please remove your settings from "Spin Cycle"...

Oh well...Even If RARE did remake Killer Instinct or GoldenEye people would just find things to complain about anyway. Unless they COMPLETELY remake these games they won't be fun now anyway.

Who the hell wants to play GoldenEye now a days when you have games like Halo/Gears/COD4. People act like these games will still be fun 10 years later. I loved GoldenEye back in the day, but trying to play it now would be a joke.

Let me guess sky, they stopped being a powerhouse the moment MS' purchased them, right?

Why are you even allowed to post here? You NEVER add anything to any discussion. I hope to God that you can't have kids so you don't pollute the gene pool any further.

Can we leave kids out of this please. In the past year we have had several people get banned for attacking people on that issue. It's also a delicate subject with yours truly. Thank you.

Sky can post here because he follows the rules. You dont get banned just because somebody doesnt like you. You get banned for abusing the TOS that are enforced. So feel free to tear Sky a new one of you disagree with his opinion. Just floow the TOS I am enforcing.



On topic: Please oh please make a Killer Instinct game. Then you can make whatever new IP's you want Rare.

Even though I wasn't attacking, I'm sorry about the kid remark.

As for sky following the rules, I didn't know trolling was accepted anywhere, news to me.

On topic, I would have loved a Battletoads remake, but I'm also curious to see what they can do with new IPs. Now that they finally have their tech developed, I can't wait to see it evolve and how their future games will use it.

Xenos: Trolling is subjective. According to certain members I troll all the time. It's really hard to interpret...

Defiantly true PimpDaddy, but Sky comes into pretty much every 360 thread and leaves about 6 words. These 6 words are almost ALWAYS negative and written to start sh!t.

I don't think Sky should be banned for it though. I can defiantly see Sky being banned on most other sites, but I think it's funny to be honest with you...LOL.

Xenos seems to have a serious problem with Sky, so that probably adds to his bann Sky motivation. Sky's just one of the many "Sony turds" who likes to push buttons because they have no games to play.

We don't call it the 'WaitStation" for nothing...

I know what Sky is doing. But its really not that bad. I tend to ignore it. Xenos has an itch to scratch with Sky. So I say let him scratch away.

BS about trolling is subjective. There's trolling and then there is not trolling. They only say you troll Pimp because the sony fantards here need a new tampon everytime someone isn't praising the unlimited potential of the PS3.

It's not hard to inperpret at all, but it looks like it's easy to ignore. When someone only cares to start sh!t and not contribute in any way, that's not something to ignore.

I guess it wouldn't really bother me if some of the other idiots here didn't believe the FUD he spews around. It almost starts this domino effect where we have jack off #1 Sky spew crap, then jack off #3,4,5,etc. cheer on and commence the circle jerk, thus ruining any chance of a decent conversation.

But I can see how few here actually care to discuss gaming. Instead most much rather just play the "how big is my e-penis, but how small my intellect" game.

Xenos: I try to talk about gaming by starting forum topics with new news and giving my thoughts on certain games, but most people here simply don't care. Most of the people that visit this site just stop by to start sh!t.

They don't care about games and I bet most of them don't even own any of these consoles like they claim to. I just ignore them 99% of the time, but I will admit that it's fun to get into a little fanboy war every now and then...lol.

I just wish GR had more people who will willing to talk about gaming and not about what system they would rather make love to.

What would GR be without people like Sky though ?

Just another gaming news website IMHO, so be careful what you ask for.

People like Sky are what separates this site from the other boring over moderated sites.

EDIT: Were willing...

Who's to say that we wouldn't have more people to discuss gaming if they weren't held off by tools like sky?

I'm sorry but I know what I'm asking for. Sky is no different than krogan, they are both trolls and they are both pathetic.

Without either of them, this site could actually.............you know..........grow

I think it's pretty much been proven that the site actually gets LESS traffic without Krogan here, but i do understand what your saying. If these front page topics didn't turn to rubbish on a daily basis, then visitors would be more interested in signing up.

Let's face it though...lol. GR isn't the easiest place for new people to fit in at, especially if you have strong opinions on certain topics.

The loyalty here is the main reason why I love GR. If anyone who isn't a regular comes here to talk sh!t or spread FUD they get shut down and sent packing. That's what i love about this site and I hope it never changes.

I wouldn't say Sky is as bad as Krogan...lol. Krogan was the WORST, and I repeat, The WORST Troll/Fanboy I've EVER seen in my life.

I challenge anyone who reads this to show me a worse fanboy.

I dont think Sky is holding anybody off from this site. In fact I would venture to say that you attacking him would cause more harm to this site Xenos than him making his short little fanboy comments. Thats just my opinion anyways. Heck I do the same thing from time to time. I'm just saying...

JB33 is right the way Sky does it can be funny. He says just enough to get under your skin Xenos. And then you take the bait every time.

Xenos I understand you dont like Sky. We all understand. But Sky hasnt done anything suspension or ban worthy yet. So...

Peter moore said the same thing... wow.. i guess he read my mind

"Peter Moore Says Rare's Skillset 'Not Applicable' in Today's Market"

h ttp://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3169979

yall act like i say things just to say it.. obviously people at the top WHO worked for MS.. agrees with me

FYI: This site does get alot of hits. It's just that only a handful of people participate in the commenting. I'm just trying to get people to work within the boudries of this website. The people who do comment all bring something to this site.

Whether it's just being an idiot like BlackTiger, being a PS3 Polesmoker like Sky, or Xenos ripping a new a$$hole into anybody who he thinks is being a fanboy. I could go on and on. But I agree with jB33. I love this site for the community aspect of it. I know everybody who posts on here. I like everybody too. I even liked Korgan, but he was spamming this site so much that I had to ask him to leave.

I'm not going to pretend to be the Rodney King of GR and ask everybody to get along. But I'm not going to make somebody leave just because 1 person doesnt like him either.

@ Sky...I would have to COMPLETELY disagree on Rare's skillset not being applicable in today's market. If anything, It's a lost art and needed in today's market.

Saying Rare's skillset isn't applicable in today's market is like saying the Wii isn't applicable in today's market.

If there wasn't a market for the types of games Rare makes, then the Wii wouldn't be so successful and Little Big Planet wouldn't be one of the most anticipated games of 2008.

I rather have new IP than rehashed Old School game.

All the fans ever wanted was Killer Instinct, we don't want any of your other stupid old franchises

meh, i could careless... i havent touched a Rare game since.... *thinks for a moment*

...

...

...

... Conkers Bad Fur Day, which i didnt like.

*EDIT

should be 'care less'

jb33 little big planet is not in rare skill set range. all there games this gen have b to c rated at best. they are behind the curve

It's very sad that you try to justify your trolling Sky with poor reading comprehension.

Read the actual interview instead of going off of what 1up twists it around to be. Peter speaks in past terms when talking about Rare. Words like "were" is past tense troll.

Of course I'm not surprised, you were one of the idiots who were so quick to believe that content was cut out of RAGE because 1UP said so.

As for your opinion of Rare's games, STFU. They released two last gen ports and two original titles this gen, but of course let's twist things out of context because it makes it easier to troll.

You truly are one of the most pathetic people ever to infect the net. I've never seen someone put so much effort in creating FUD over topics that they don't even care about. I guess you're not used to the ps3 being in last place and so acting like a v@gina is the only thing you can do.

It's @ssholes like you that should be punched in the throat just for thinking.

Weak @ss pu$$y that will only talk when he thinks he has a point but then cower and hide like a b!tch when he's proven wrong, go to hell you f*ckin loser.

kenny k is not a ie intelligent person. personal attacks for what? you love ms that much to pour your heart out and wine? rare is behind the curve and the industry recognized this its not a secret. ms paid 400 million or so for rare and for what? perfect dark banjo viva and half baked mii clones? are you serious? none of there titles are system sellers like sony first party . rare was a waste of money.

This has nothing to do with MS or Rare. I f*ckin hate trolls like you, they are some of the most pathetic people out there. You act like this because there are no consequences. I know I have rage issues, but at least I don't devote my time to some stupid personal agenda.

It's truly sick that you probably really believe the sh!t you're spewing. "The industry recognized this", really? REALLY? You know for a fact that the industry sees Rare as a low profile studio?

It's shit like that, you bend your opinion into fact or that it speaks for others and that's just sick in the head sh!t right there. You talk about system sellers when just about every one of Rare's games this gen has been a million seller. They must be doing something right.

So for once and all, recognize that your opinion is nothing more than just that, an opinion.

Go on preaching your limited views, but it's a waste since you're really not convincing anyone of anything

And good job ignoring my comment about reading comprehension, go back to 2nd grade then maybe you'll learn.

I for one are glad that rare has decided to stop destroying their golden oldies from the N64 era. Perhaps they will stop trying to live off their old dev teams success (remember most of their orignal devs left long ago).

PimpD, Sky, Xenos, here is the proper link

hxxp://www.gamersreports.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16078

On Topic, Rare is doing the right thing, its time for some new IP.

rare is doing all it can do... I'm waiting for there AAA title.... there trio lineup is subpar. banjo, viva and PDZ? all those studios.. theres like 5.. and nothing epic thus far. MS shot themselves in the foot purchasing that studio.. selling systems wise and defining genre's i don't see how rare is a 400 mil asset. they need a special break out title like little big planet that everyone and there mother is excited about

LBP Sky? what the hell. you know what I'm not going to comment on LBP until it's released.

"(remember most of their orignal devs left long ago)"

Wrong, part of the goldeneye team right after goldeneye years ago to form Free Radical which has recently made Haze, yeah real talent there. The Stamper brothers also left but the vast majority of Rare is still there.

"rare is doing all it can do... I'm waiting for there AAA title.... there trio lineup is subpar. banjo, viva and PDZ? all those studios"

PDZ was a last gen port and a launch title, so how is this even a fair comparison?

I also didn't know you played banjo and that it sucks, go figure.

And what's wrong with Viva? It's not my kind of game, but just because I don't care for it doesn't mean it sucks...............oh wait you're talking about a 360 game.

Go eat a d!ck. It's disgusting how blind you are.

I'm sorry Pimp but you fail as a mod to let sh!t like this continue. What does ANYTHING sky is takling have to do with the topic?

I just don't see how you can compare this game to Banjo as if its already a hit.

^^^above was to Sky^^



XENOS there is a special Forum made just for you and him (SKY) so you can talk about all the D!ck eating you want together.

I agree with SKY Rare Need AAA titles to put itself back on the MaP.

Xenos I fail as a mod for letting you continue to ruin every thread with your personal agenda against people like Sky, MadGunde, Krogan, etc...

All you have done lately is run people into the ground for stating thier opinion. I think your blind to what your doing. Whats sad is your the only one who doesnt seem to notice. So since you cant follow the simple rules on this site. Allow me to do my job as a mod and suspend you for your repeated abuse of the TOS and fellow members of this site.



Thank you for pointing out the error in my ways...

pimpD, sky is trolling, plain and simple, it never adds to the debate, all it does is remove from it, and dont get me wrong i for one think that xenos is and was right.

banning him, thats not really well thought out, and the fact that you are doing it because he has differed with you makes you no different from any other mod in any other site that tells people if you dont like it, get off.

the fact that people point out some issues means that they ove this site, and that to some extent you are doing some things right, only that you need to improve in some areas.

i implore you, take constructive criticism as it is, and take great advice for what it is worth, any site is better than having sky and krogan in it

arthur56k: Go back and read Xenos comments over the last 2 weeks before you open your mouth again. The reason he got banned was because he called Sky an Ahole, a womans genitals, and then told him to eat a mans genitals all up above in this thread right here.

This had nothing to do with what he said to me. Xenos knows I have warned him multiple times about his language on this site and I asked him to ignore Sky instead of throwing personal insults at him. People have been banned on this site in the past for far less.

Where I did error was in letting things slide with Xenos. Now that I take the proper action, I'm not being a good moderator?

Whats not really well thought out is your last comment. I seem to recall watching you go at it with VaeVictus and Sky in the past week. It's obvious you have issues with Sky too. Because the 2 of you bring up your past history from another website.

So what now? You want me to ban Sky because you dont like him??? Because he doesnt like your precious 360. Ya thats real fair isnt it. There have been alot of other PS3 fanboys run off this site too. What happens when there all gone? You just think everybody is going to naturally get along, no more disagreements. Should we change the name to Xbots Reports???

Everybody has a right to state thier opinion. Thats what I am trying to protect. I dont care if you want to call it trolling. GET OVER IT. Hes not cussing people out, hes not spamming, hes not throwing out personal insults.

By your logic it's ok for Xenos to cuss at Sky, call him names, and harass him on every thread because you think Sky is a jerk. I'm not here to pick favorites. But obviously you want to play that game. I think its an absolute joke that you agree with Xenos behavior. I can promise you that he knows he is wrong for what he did. He let Sky get under his skin and broke the rules I enforce on this site.



Being a moderator requires being unbiased arthur56k. I have had my run ins with Sky in the past. But once I started moderating I realized that just because I dont like his opinion doesnt mean I have the right to stop him from stating it.



I had to ask Krogan to leave because he was getting into arguments with everyone on here. He was spamming the site. Guess what? I liked Krogan. I actually agreed with alot of his opinions. But I had to put that all aside because his behavior was causing harm to this site and its members.



That is why I suspended Xenos for 24 hours. Because he was tearing into Sky on every thread possible. I mean B1ueBurner even made a custom forum for Sky and Xenos to argue on just so it wouldnt affect the main news section of this site. Guess what. I personally like Xenos alot more than Sky. I usually agree with Xenos. But Xenos messed up. Whats so hard to understand about that??? This wasnt about choosing sides. Believe me.



Try putting your personal feelings towards Sky aside and look at it from all angles. Thats what I'm doing. Thats what I will continue to do as a "volunteer" moderator for GamersReports.

I thought a suspension was LONG overdue for Xenos to be 100% honest with you. How many times did Pimpdaddy tell him to edit out his cuss words and he didn't ? It had to be around four or five different times that I've seen over the past month or so.

It's not like he has a word here and there that he forgets to misspell either. He usually go's crazy and claims the site isn't being ran properly. How Is that acceptable ? How can you expect to be apart of a site's community when you cuss out the admin whenever you don't get your way...lol.

"Xenos said...F*ck this site for letting this sh!t happen. The guy is a f*ckin douche bag and he gets away with it scott free. It's a f*ckin joke".

Why should this be overlooked ? Something has to be done or there is no point in having rules. F*ck this site Is enough to get a PERMANENT ban on alot of other sites.





Xenos seems to have a problem getting along with other people on GR and I have a feeling It's not only on this website. Xenos acts like he's the only person on GR that ever felt like telling someone to F*ck off...lol.

Sky has rarely had problems with other people on this site In the past, so that right there should tell you something. Sure, He makes his weak 4 word comments to get under peoples skin, but most other people on this site simply IGNORE HIM. Why even respond ? It's sooo easy to just skip the comment and move on to the next.





Xenos responds because he feels he needs to be In control of every thread and If someone says something he don't like, he feels the need to call that person out every time. I read things posted everyday that I don't agree with or that are false, and I don't say a word. He acts like he's the only person on this site that has the urge to call people out. Xenos needs to stop acting like he's 12 and learn to Ignore people.

Xenos Is more of a problem to this site than some of It's community members. He's the first guy In most threads to tell people they are wrong or claim they don't know what they're talking about. Why act like that...lol ? Why does Xenos have to be a "Know It All" In every thread ? Nevermind...I could go on all day, but It's none of my business, so I'll leave It alone.





The bottom line Is...Xenos Is more of a problem to GR then some of It's other members. I like having him around, but If he can't learn to Ignore people then he's gonna have to find a different site to be a know It all on. I hope one day he find this "Real Discussion" GR seems to lacking....LMFAO.

It's SOOO simple Xenos, If you don't like how the site is ran or It's members, then use the exit. Don't make threads like a 5 year old cussing at everyone because you didn't get your way....lol.

You feel better now that you have gotten that out jb33?

In reality, your little rant is no different than mine, save the cuss words.

Also, this is the only site that I have a problem with, and I don't even consider it a problem with a site, just a specific individual (unless you have a problem with me that is). This is the only site that people like sky can get away with his sh!t, so that should say something. I moderate and freelance on another site, I know I was in the wrong, but I'm not the only one.

Oh and you could always apply what you are saying to me to yourself. Don't like my posts, ignore it, but it's not always that simple is it? =p

KEEP IT CLEAN.
