Rare Replay Impression

Since there isn't a thread on this, I will post the games list that's available on Rare Replay for 30 games for only $30 dollars. Not bad and there are few Rare Games that I never played in my life like Kameo and I never finish Jet Force Gemini so this is a good deal. The only thing that baffles me is that it's missing Goldenye and it's a huge letdown on Rare's part and I guess Perfect Dark will have to do. What is you're opinion on Rare Replay?

I own almost all of these.

I may pick this up for $20 or less down the road.

COAT ( collection of all time ) and worth 5X the asking price. Well done MS / Rare, well done. :D

Great value , I think Goldeneye didn't come out because of trademarks/rights issues

If you haven't played Kameo, you are in for a surprise. I thought the game was very underrated. There are a lot of quality games in this collection and I'm in day 1 for sure even though I own all the 360 games on the list minus Nuts and Bolts which I never got around to buying for some reason.

Too bad they couldn't change Donkey Kong's name and add DKC 1-3 to this lineup. A dream come true right there lol.

@iambatman7986: Yeah But I wasn't expecting DKC games to come anyways but however, Diddy Kong Racing would be cool if they remove Diddy's name off the game and change it to something else, I'm sure it would have made it. Can't wait to try out Kameo.

@davillain-: Diddy Kong Racing was my favorite N64 game. That and Beetle Adventure Racing. I think you will enjoy Kameo, have a great time with it when this comes out.

It's a great collection

That's a steal for $30. Sort of wish it was coming out on the 360, or that it would justify a purchase of an Xbone for me. Will grab it down the road when I finally do get an Xbone though.

This is one of my must buys this year. This game for me is right up there with Halo 5 and Gears of War 4. This is when Rare was a awesome studio. Before they go stuck with making Kinect games. Rare replay is going to be one of my most played games. Old School Gaming at is best.

Hope this sells will so Rare will stop lazing around and actually revive most of their old games!

Great collection, it's definitely going to be added to my collection.

Conker's Bad Fur Day, Jet Force Gemini, Kameo: Elements of Power, Perfect Dark, Perfect Dark Zero, Blast Corps, Battletoads, Battletoads Arcade, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts and Grabbed by the Ghoulies...... For $30 and all of those games, and more - that's a pretty decent collection.

I will likely buy it, despite the fact that this still doesn't prove that RARE is in any better shape than it has been for years now, since this is really just a great value. It's kind of like the Master Chief Collection of 2015.... Though hopefully, with no major issues.

This game is worth it to me for just the three Banjo games, Conker and the two Viva Pinata's. The fact there's an additional 24 games included is just icing on the cake.

Yeah same... replay some of those classics!

Lol Battletoads is going to wipe the floor with people .....easily the most difficult game I've ever played.....you can give yourself a pat on the back if you can finish it......that's going to be one cool achievement to get.

If Conker's Bad Fur Day is uncensored I will buy.

@Alucard_Prime: I was about to say something about battletoads achievements. Whoever 100% this game, more power to you.

Yeah can anyone confirm if it's uncensored? I never finished the game on my original Xbox but couldn't stop laughing through the game, it was great.

Live and Reloaded wasn't the true Conker and that version was badly butcher to hell. As far as I know, This isn't the Live and Reloaded version and this is the true Conker N64 port so nothing shouldn't be uncensored.

Thanks for the update, I had no idea Live and Reloaded was missing parts from the original game. This news makes me happy.

Well, the f wod was censored in the OG but that's it.

Also this collection is amazing.

thanks for the confirmations.

I suppose the one swear agent dark says (I think), will be bleeped.

will there be online multiplayer for conkers or any of the others?

frenchys win. loved that game mode.

i'm wondering how the controls for n64 type games will be on the xbox controller, better or worse.

will the collection only be for xbox?

um, are you sure you've got that?

just noticed perfect dark zero, is that any good?

Lets just say when they announced this at E3 i bought a XBOX ONE the next day...Cant wait!

Here is a great list from an IGN article that details all the games in the collection. Also I recently read on IGN that the 10k worth of achievements advertised with the game includes achievements you may have earned on 360 versions of the titles. So if you already have a few achievements for PerfectDark, those will remain unlocked in the RareReplay collection...just a minor clarification because I thought it was 10K worth of brand new achievements.

Does Conker use the original N64 graphics? It's NOT Live and Reloaded, from the first Xbox, right?

Correct, it has been confirmed as being the uncensored N64 edition.

Will ther be online multiplayer for Perfect Dark 64 and Perfect Dark Zero?

Perfect Dark 64 will be the version made for x360, I imagine....

The only game I have played in that collection is Kameo and I haven't played any of the other games so I'm looking forward to picking this up in August.

@sukraj: Ahh, Kameo. I really enjoyed that game bro.

yeah it was a decent game bro I wish Rare would make a sequel.

There's quite a few gems in there.....I think I will firs try Blast Corps. Jet Force Gem., Cobra Triangle, RcProAm......good memories, been a very long time

@Alucard_Prime: I know hey, there's just so many games I want to play and try for the first time. Not sure what I'm going to try first when I buy it.

Im well exited for this. Looking forward to all the banjo games and viva pinata the most.

I can't wait for that i always wanted to play most of these games, i don't own any of these games and always wanted to own a few these

Getting some really good games here worth it big time imo. I had solar jetman on nes, it was so hard for me back then and took me a while to figure the mechanics out. I never kmew it was made by the rare team. I was let down when I received the game my gma got it for me on bday so I thought I wouldnt like it. The guy at electronics dep recommended it for her so he must of new its pedigree. I came arounf to the game eventually but it was hard for my preteen gaming skills, I could probably enjoy it much more nowdays.

I thought they made rock n roll racing too, that game was awesome back then so much fun.

And for some reason I liked the original KI on snes better than Gold, anybody else feel this way?

Agreed. Out of those, I already own PD and Kameo. So glad all the Banjo games, PD0 and Kameo is included amongst other great games. $30? This is a collection I am happy to buy.

Oh yeah. Kameo was easily one of the best games of early last gen and unfortunately overlooked by many. So much fun.

@BattleSpectre Yes!! That is going to be a massive problem LOL Where does one start?

It's the only thing I'll use my Xbox One for during the foreseeable future.

I have only heard of a few of these games, but I grew up in Banjo and Kazooie! Such a classic!

Definitely picking it up. I still remember playing JFG and conker's on n64. I never got into the banjo series but everyone says it's better than dk64 which I did play and liked so rare replay will keep me busy for a while to say the least.

I'm kind of excited to play some of the games, but then I have most of the games that come with the collection, so I might wait for it to get cheaper.

Some new details quoted below from an article GS just posted:

Your Xbox One Needs 50 GB Free to Install Every Rare Replay Game

To install every game from the collection on an Xbox hard drive, you'll need quite a bit of space free.

by Alex Newhouse on July 21, 2015

GameSpot

Rare Replay, a collection of 30 games from developer Rare, will require 50 GB of hard drive space to install every game.

According to the collection's listing on the Xbox website, the game requires a minimum of 11.26 GB free on your Xbox One's hard drive. However, the Xbox 360 games in the collection are not on the Rare Replay disc. Instead, they'll be added to your download queue and you'll have to install 38 GB more to your hard drive.

Included on the disk, then, are games that predate the Xbox 360 like Battletoads and Conker's Bad Fur Day. You'll have to download Rare's 360 games like Viva Pinata and Perfect Dark Zero.

Rare Replay launches on August 4 for Xbox One. It'll have 10,000 achievement points, although if you've already unlocked achievements in some of the Xbox 360 games, those points will carry over to Rare Replay. The developer is also fixing bugs such as the infamous Battletoads two-player glitch.

@Alucard_Prime: Thanks for the update. TBH, I completely forgot about this thread and yeah, I already comment on the 50GB download but as I stated, huge install bases are now a thing so I don't have a problem with this one and my 1TB is still has way plenty of room despite most of my Xbox One games are digital.

50gb install? Merely tickles my 4TB external HDD. BRING IT ON!!!!

Oh and, yeah, can't wait for this to come out.

My 5TB HDD laughs at you :P

Of course I kid and it sure does feel good to have all that storage available, as you said, bring it on baby, this gonna be gooooood!!!.

@SecretPolice: Hehe yeah you got me beat as well, mine is "only" 4 TB . I love not having to worry about space.....it's like having a bottomless magic drawer or something. My wallet does not like that huge HDD size though.....

@Alucard_Prime:

Yeah man, I couldn't believe how fast I was using the 500 gig and I didn't want to have to start deleting games so I can DL other games so when I saw this 5TB HDD for just over $100.00 on ebay I figured it was a steal and I wanted it. Best move I've made this gen. :)
