POPULARITY
In unserem ersten Company-Special wagen wir uns an das Lebenswerk von Rare, die im Jahr 2015 ihr 30 jähriges Bestehen mit dem Release einer grandiosen Spielesammlung (Rare Replay) feierte. Rare hat uns gerade in den späten 90ern und frühen 2000ern begleitet und uns insbesondere auf dem Nintendo 64 mit einem Feuerwerk an tollen, einprägsamen und innovativen Spielen versorgt - nicht umsonst haben wir in unseren Nintendo 64-Specialpodcasts die meisten Raretitel ausgeklammert, um sie in dieser Episode en bloc zu besprechen. Wir gehen durch die Epochen hindurch - von der Gründungsphase Rares, über den Weg zum Third-Party-Entwickler bei Nintendo, hin zur goldenen Ära und dem plötzlichen Aufkauf seitens Microsoft. Wie steht es um die Firma heute, und wohin führt der Weg einiger wichtiger Wegbegleiter?

It's been a long time, but boy! is this a long one.I'm been playing catch up with a number of video game reviews/thoughts/rants for ages, so I thought it'd be a cool idea to catch up in podcast form.Featured games are: Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, some afterthoughts on GTA IV after I finally completed it, Flower - the big game in a small package and closing off with some rather in-depth thoughts on Fable 2.It's a double-edged sword as it seems unfair to try and squeeze it all into one, so I've broken into two parts, so apologies for the formal goodbye, I'll make it up next time.As mentioned during the podcast, I may have forgotten some major pros/cons of a game so don't shun me for this being done on the spot - for the information that has been included, I've tried to be careful but there are some spoilers within, you have been warned. Enjoy.Featured Music:Intro/Outro - Pacific Theatre - Yourcodenameis:miloWhen We Were Younger and Better, A Failsafe, Music is Music as Devices are Kisses is Everything, Little Victories - all by 65daysofstatic.The Birth and Death of the Day, Welcome, Ghosts, It's Natural To Be Afraid, What Do You Go Home To, Catastrophe And The Cure- Explosions in the SkyQuiet, There Are Some Remedies Worse Than the Disease - This Will Destroy You iTunes link[MP3] Download the show [51:33] (Right click, Save as)
