Conker's Creator Needs A Break From The Unlikely Legend Of Rusty Pup

Really we Nintendo fans don't really care about this game at this the point the creator is nothing but a liar..I say take his game and choke on it

I didn't even know this was a thing. I never played Conker's back in the day either. So... not really bothered by this.

Sorry for anyone who wanted to play this. Kinda stinks for you.

That reminds me I still need to finish Rusty Pup

It's got some very hard puzzles

@deafswin37 Sounds like you need to grow up

Hoping for it to eventually come out on Switch.

I'm rather Unlikely to play this kind of game on any other platform.

Not a good impression for a developer to be hopping project to project without finishing previous ones honestly. I remember seeing images of Rusty Pup in early Wii U days...wow.

That said, here is hoping the man knows what he's focusing on next, gets a small team together and makes it a reality. After the success of A Hat in Time and other recent releases which reminisce on the good and old, he has a solid chance of making something worthwhile.

I have met one of the developers behind the game. He’s a nice guy and I got a good insight into how much work it takes to finish and release a game. Porting it to the Switch, and submitting it to review for Nintendo takes time and effort. And it’s not always the most fun thing to do when you have spent 4 years making the game work for iOS and Steam

Bummer, bummer, bummer

@deafswin37 grow up lol.

Besides that bummer whould have loved to play It

You can do better, Chris. Bringing the game to all but the one console where it would be most well-received is a shame. PS: Join the troops at Playtonic and bring your ideas with you!

@HenFjo sure - hard work is not always enjoyable... for some it’s never enjoyable. But if they wanna make some money they need to get these projects finished. Conker’s spiritual successor is perfect for the switch and should sell buckets. I hope they get it finished. I for one want to give it a go.

That's a shame, was still waiting for this game to be released one day, very rarely play anything on my laptop so unlikely I'd get far in the PC version

@Varkster remember seeing Rusty Pup in early Wii U days too, thought it was cancelled or something, unless it comes to the Switch I aren't going to play it

Sounds like he doesn't really have much of an idea about how to do a sequel to Conker's BFD. That would have the best chance of sales and hype but he's lost interest in it which is strange. The way his projects are going who knows if this next game will actually get finished and if it does we can assume it will take years. Maybe he should go to playtonic and write for them, they need a bit of life to their characters and some structured work with a proper team may mean Chris gets more done.

@quinnyboy58 Great idea about him going to Playtonic. They seem like they would be a good fit.

@Majora101 I would like to see that happen. All the former Rare people should work together to get a new Rare going, whatever it takes I would support this.

@Kriven
Working every day for over four years on the same thing, but moving one before it's out on every platform imaginable, is kind of the opposite of "flitting about".

When we consider what kind of game Rusty Pup even is, and how few people he has had around him to grow with and learn from during that time, I think Chris has shown rather exceptional resilience.

So it's been announced, at one point, for the Wii U, 3DS and Switch but they couldn't actually bring it to any of them?

Why not just say nothing? I don't like these kind of games but it seems silly to do that 3 times.

Looks like sh*t anyways.

I did not know Peter Molyenaux has a Mini-Me!

The real story here is the lack of a spiritual successor to Conker's. Nothing else. Certain games fill the voids. Thats one.

I was interested.. when he announced it for the Wii U.

This is a textbook example of: "How NOT to handle a game release"

I mean, they only released it on ios and pc, I bet they didn't even send review-codes around. Chris already said he is not the "marketing" type. Result: No reviews on metacritic and almost no youtube videos. The game must be lingering at the bottom of the ios-pile...

What a shame, once it showed promise, once we had hope. On Switch the sales would have gone through the roof. All I know is that its possibly a bit like Lemmings, but with a cumbersome name and very distracting graphics (what the bleep is going on). Put shortly: Gory detail is not what some people hoped, far from it.

As for the Conker spiritual succesor: They already said that they had become older and their taste has changed. So in other words: they didn't find themselves capable of making such a game again!
