This isn’t your dad’s Rare
Rare Replayis available nowand includes unlockable videos of canceled games with concept art, stories, and gameplay that have never been show to the public. Unlocking the videos means completing various challenges and achievements to level up your in-collection profile, andthat is no easy feat.
I spent last night doing the “Snapshot” challenges forLunar Jetmanlive onmy Twitch channelwhile getting feverishly angry. Clearly the devs at Rare are sadists, and anyone who enjoysLunar Jetmanmust be some kind of self-hating masochist — it is so difficult it makes theSoulsseries look like child’s play.
Anywho, someone finally unlocked one of the videos forSundown, a horror survivor game that was inspired by John Carpenter’sThe Thing, which can be seen above if you don’t mind spoiling the fun of unlocking them yourselves. The concept artlooks quite terrifying and grotesque, though Finger Belly is certainly the coolest.
It kind of sounds like Rare was ahead of the curve on the whole zombie survival games trend, though I’m unsure when the studio was working on this game (it was planned for Xbox 360).
