Microsoft’s Moore Talks Rare

In a continuing interview with Newsweek’s N’Gai Croal, Microsoft’s Peter Moore talks a bit about the purchase and performance of Rare, Viva Pinata and the studio’s inability to reclaim its glory days status as a part of Microsoft. Moore’s comments on Rare’s sensibilities are particulary interesting:

“Rare has that edge, because it’s born of an educated British sense of humor. I love it. Certainly Conker’s Bad Fur Day, even Grabbed by the Ghoulies has a little bit of that piss-take if you play it all the way through. Conker, certainly toilet humor, a lot of it. It’s just a unique sense of humor that Rare’s always been famous for, and we have no lack of comfort with it whatsoever.”
