Rare not reviving old franchises, my heart weeps cholesterol tears photo

There’s nothing that can clog your arteries and catch your breath like the possibility of having one of your favorite old games remade. Today Rare senior animator, Elissa Miller, crushed my dreams. She told 360 Gamer magazine that reviving a classic series isn’t in the cards for Rare right now.

At the moment, probably not. We've always got to have a reason to revive a franchise, we don't do games just for the sake of them.

If Rare did do games for the sake of it, I would be a much happier man. I was hedging a lot of bets on Killer Instinct 3 even though the strength of that rumor was tenuous at best. At least I can still dream about how sweet Killer Instinct 3 would have been in this new age of 3D visuals and discs.

On the one hand, I believe her. I don't think they're doing another KI game. On the other hand, that's what they always say (see: Bioshock on PS3). Don't totally discount the possibility.

I never understood why people took this music sheet to be proof of a new game. I mean, it's even an easier 'shop than most non-evidence out there. I'll probably be proven wrong when they announce Killer Instinct 3 tomorrow, but it still feels like the evidence was never all that great.

BTW, I haven't been paying attention, has anybody tried to play this particular sheet? Is it a real/new song? That still doesn't add a lot of credence to the rumour, but it would be interesting to find out.

Is the fact that a new KI would be freaking AWESOME not a good enough reason?
