How’s this for a surprise? Back in 2002 when Rare was acquired by Microsoft, it turns out that Activision was first in the running to purchase the legendary developer. Obviously, for reasons still unknown, things didn’t quite pan out. Wonder how different it would be now if they had?

Portion of an interview with Gamesindustry.biz featuring with ex-Rare developer, Martin Hollis, discussing his feelings toward the remake of Goldeneye…
I did read that Mr Iwata asked them to innovate (GoldenEye) and they did do some new things with the control at Eurocom, and I think that’s great. But my feelings when I heard about that… You have mixed feelings. It’s inevitable. You see it as your baby.
Even when they ask, do you want to be involved, and you say no, it’s still something that’s connected to you and to your personality and that you want to cherish somehow. So there’s maybe some irritation, or insecurity that comes out of that. That someone else is running with that ball, but then again it is pleasing that it still has currency, that the name is still valued. And how how many games have been remade twice?
Those kind of things are pleasing.

Without any real specifications other than thinking Dominic Monaghan (Lord of the Rings) would be the ideal choice for voicing Conker, Entertainment Weekly believes Rare’s Conker’s Bad Fur Day would make for an excellent film. I’m inclined to agree, as long as it was done correctly. What direction would they approach? Animated, cg, live-action, perhaps a blend of live-action and anime/cg ala Roger Rabbit? Regardless of, hilarity is bound to ensue in what would surely be a raunchy, humorous adventure!
