After the Donkey Kong Country trilogy on Super Nintendo, the English of Rare are in the firmament. The studio is one of the most renowned in the world, the money is flowing and yet their golden age has only just begun. Discover in this second volume of "The History of Rare" the crazy period of the Nintendo 64! Between unbridled creativity and technical prowess in 3D, the English studio rivals Nintendo on its own machine, to the delight of players. GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie, Diddy Kong Racing, Conker or even Jet Force Gemini demonstrate all the know-how of a studio at the top of its game. Through many exclusive testimonials, go behind the scenes of the creation of these emblematic games and relive the incredible adventure of this pivotal period. However, at the dawn of the 2000s, the developer came under Microsoft's control and suffered a setback. Nothing will ever be the same again. After the golden age, place the painful marriage of "missing ideas" with an inexperienced editor in video games. The History of Rare - Volume 2 also recounts this period through the precious testimonies collected from those who experienced it from the inside. Why did Nintendo part ways with Rare? Why Microsoft? Why Rare made more games on Game Boy Advance than on Xbox? How was the transition made internally, until the departure of the Stampers brothers, founders of the company, in 2007? The answers can be found inside this book richly documented by the author Régis Monterrin.
