Back in late 2014, when we decided that the 30-year anniversary of the Rare name was a milestone we should mark in grand old style, the idea of bringing together some of Rare’s most beloved games and landmark achievements was high on the list. As with most things in their early, ambitious stages, we started out wanting to include 30 games to mark those 30 years. 30 games in one package! Selected from 30 years of console and computer formats! Only madmen would even pitch such an idea. Rare Replay Cinematic Trailer
Somehow, what we ended up with on launch day was exactly what we’d pictured in our best case scenario. Actually, more: we somehow found time to add Snapshot challenges, a grand total of 10,000 gamerscore including the Xbox 360 titles, and a whole gallery of unlockable Rare Revealed content featuring Making Of videos, unreleased tunes and concept artwork, and world’s first looks at prototype projects that never hit the shelves.
Rare Replay was a project that benefited massively from the enthusiasm of its team: a dedicated bunch merging long-term Rare veterans with newer recruits who’d grown up living and breathing these very games. There were massive challenges to overcome in the fields of tech, art, test and paperwork, but all were overcome in time for Rare Replay to be announced at E3 2015 and released less than two months later.

Realtime are CGI, animation and VFX specialists, with a focus on gaming, automotive and broadcast. We go the extra mile to create cutting edge content capable of transporting the viewer. Whether we are immersing gamers in distant alien worlds or placing buyers in the driving seat of their perfect car, we don’t just make visuals, we craft belief.
This project provided our team with a great opportunity to work on something that had a distinct visual style and is a slightly different approach to the style of work we’re usually known for. As ever, our team had a great time working on the piece, once again working collaboratively with one of the Games Industry’s longest surviving (and Best!) development teams in the world.

Well, we were flattered (and daunted) when our good friends at Rare came to us with this exact challenge. They wanted us to create a short video that would capture the very best of their amazing achievements in Video Games.
