Rare Revealed: The Making of Kameo: Elements of Power

[@noneofyourbusiness1998]

11 years later and this game still looks gorgeous!

[@RareLimited]

+Markell Hawthorne It does - always struck by how good it still looks when we fire it up again. Cheers!

Kameo was my first 360 game. Been wanting a sequel forever. I know Kameo 2 was pitched and never happened but I hope Phil gives it the green light. This sequel needs to happen.

[@renslo689]

Kameo is an amazing game, one of Rare's last true 'Rare' style games, shame there was never a sequel

[@piegunman]

So is Viva Pinata

[@Brandino73]

@RuleBreaker XO1 Grabbed by the Ghoulies came before Kameo.

[@DylanYoshi]

It's a shame this game doesn't get more credit. It's easily my favorite Rare game on the 360 by a huge margin, as well as one of my favorite Xbox 360 exclusives in general.

[@RareLimited]

+DylanYoshi Cheers Dylan. Hope you caught Kameo theme week on our social channels!

[@SoraTheKeyToEverything]

Rare Ltd make a sequel or at least reveal the story and fans could make comics or I don’t care if It didn’t sell well make or do something with the story at least please please please

[@LunarMelodia]

This game is so nostalgic... was probably my favourite 360 game, Rare did an incredible job with it ✨ Everything about it was so magical and enchanting, and gosh the soundtrack was superb 💖 Still salty the sequel was cancelled by MS, but who knows maybe one day someone will be able to pick up the torch, or at least remake the first one

[@themightyjaboccon]

This is great, I love that there's good focus on the soundtrack here, its so underrated and is actually one of my favourite video game OSTs.

[@David-dz1cb]

Loved this game as a kid and still do now, best launch title in history. Please RARE, make a sequel! :D

[@GeminiFate]

Such a fantastic and underrated game! One of my favorites by far.

[@SuperFirstSecond]

Oh man, I've been hoping for this all week! A Kameo 2 would be rad!

[@ljdandrea8711]

+First Second There actually WAS going to be a Kameo 2, but it was scrapped in the end. I'm pretty sure there's a video about it hidden within Rare Replay though...

[@SuperFirstSecond]

Zipzter 2.0 I'm well aware of it, I'd love to see it resurrected, or perhaps a more direct sequel to Kameo.

[@aidanscales7175]

I played this game when I was little and always go back and play it with a wave of nostalgia and the games looks are years a head of its time

[@gookawild5543]

Great game, playing it now. Just defeated the evil tree lol

[@CraftyMaelyss]

People watching this video have no idea how much lore is in this game, mainly because it was put on the official Kameo website (now redirects to Rare's website), the journals which describe events leading up to the game, the podcasts and the manga, as well as snippets from reading the Warrior's history in the Wotnot (from pausing the menu) I sincerely believe if this game was remade with all this lore included, it would rival Mario, Sonic and Zelda in popularity. All of this canon content was gathered and put together in a fan made discord server specifically for Kameo: Elements Of Power for fans (both new and old) to read and if you're reading this Rare, you are incredibly welcome to come join too: discord.gg/VsN9B6W Kameo is an underrated game with incredible potential, please do not let it go to waste. While I am working on my own indie title now, I would be 100% open to creating a fan made remake of the game or sequel afterwards. I point out the lore because 11:12 seems incredibly harsh after reading both Kameo and Kalus' journals, which seems to hint that Kalus was emotionally neglected and possibly physically abused by Theena and Kameo was aware of it. (seriously those Journals are really important to the lore and I wish that this content had been added to the game)

NoodleTree Network ye what I was bouta say,, I’d love to join. Kameo was the first game I played on my Xbox 360 and I’ve loved it so much. It was the only thing I’d play, watch, talk about and draw. J was honestly obsessed with it. I’ve been hoping and wishing for a a second part to come out for so many years now and I’ve only saw his today lol.

​@@RareLimited we need kameo 2 plis

[@sonicdoesfrontflips]

9:38 Indeed, we are facing an epidemic of dull, greyscale games that are hailed as graphics kings. If not for Rare, i'd think the 360 was incapable of displaying color.

[@mark18262]

I won't give up hope for a sequel. I refuse, even if it never happens... This is my favorite game ever.

[@Lymedin2010]

I too feel this game was a huge gem during the day & still is impressive on many levels. Most of my family members have played it & It is easily one of the best games of all time for us. Much praise to the developers & I wish it had more recognition and I hope for a sequel too!!!

[@RareLimited]

+Jack .Stravinsky Thanks Jack! And Jack's fine, upstanding family.

[@SoraTheKeyToEverything]

I want no excuses RARE Ltd make a sequel damn it

[@ljdandrea8711]

This was by far one of Rare's shining milestones on the 360. Personally, I rate it #2 on my list of favorite Rare Xbox games, losing only to Nuts & Bolts. I don't have an Xbox One, so I'm glad that Rare's making it possible for people like me to view these little fun-fact videos!

[@Scrubber89]

Kameo was so underrated.

[@tehprogramerer]

A few years ago I played a development version of the game for the Original Xbox and was surprised at how closely it resembled the final Xbox 360 build, considering the amount of graphical detail that was in the final game. It's an amazing game and was definitely worth the wait from when I first heard about it in 2001. Thanks, Rare!

[@jaminallen3119]

Just about to play this this evening. Pretty excited

[@Worgen33]

I did have a lot of fun with Kameo, too bad Rare doesn't really do games like that anymore.

[@נאורטיטנצי]

You know they stopped making Kinect games right?

[@Boo-gt8gg]

i am finally playing kameo after putting it off for too long and i adore it. this game reminded me why i love rare all over again

[@muppetmaelstrom400]

If MS wanted to take a risk, they could boot this IP up and rework it in to their own "zelda" or "gravity rush" type of game. It certainly has the asthetics and lead for it.

[@EldenFed]

where is kameo 2 rare???

[@barsi-barsebelarfa7490]

SOOO underrated!!! this and ghost recon advanced warfighter were my very first 360 games!!!

[@haloplayernamedjohn8405]

Remaster at its 25th anniversary would be great.

[@trevynscheller6561]

Rare Replay was my 1st Xbox One game, and also my favorite Xbox One game, most of those games were new to me, Kameo is in my top 5 favorites list, that game was completely new to me, and it looks like something I would have played in my childhood, you do a great job with most of your games rare, also, I have one request for Rare Replay.

[@Nutricula87]

I absolutely loved this game, it was brilliantly fun to play. It still looks beautiful now too!

[@SwoonerProductions]

Whoever interviewed these guys had the chance to talk about Kameo 2

[@Edmundostudios]

Shame Kameo 2 got canceled

[@DehnusNorder]

+Edmundo studios If you saw the Concept art you'd not say that, she looked far to realistic as they tried giving in to that crap of "Must be more hardcore/badass". Now upgraded graphics in the same style of Kameo 1? OH YEAH! That I would be furious about if they had cancelled it :(. But really considering how few people bought Kameo, and the bad reviews it got (Totally undeserved btw), it still makes me sad.... but I can understand it.

[@Edmundostudios]

+DehnusNorder I saw the concept art design stuff from the rare replay video. To be fair it looked extremely early in development and concepts change drastically as the game develops. Destiny was originally going to be a fantasy RPG with swords and shields like skyrim but that of course changed. But yes it probably would have sold bad which is the bottom line as a AAA title. Happy to see somewhat of a resurgence with yooka laylee giving a potential future for adventure/plat forming games.

[@DehnusNorder]

Edmundo studios It was just trying far to hard to "not be kiddy", it just didn't breath the same atmosphere as Kameo originally had. That and we need LESS AAA platformers and more AA platformers. Then publishers will also be more willing to risk funding one. AAA just has become too big.

[@Edmundostudios]

+DehnusNorder are there any AAA platformers around anymore? Excluding Nintendo I can't think of any.

[@DehnusNorder]

Edmundo studios I just mean to say, if we want them back? We'd first need a thriving AA industry again including platformers. AAA simply won't work for gambles and try outs.

[@TheKeithvidz]

I wish for your return to golden days Rare!!! Kameo the biggest "why" rare replay was brought. Eager to finish it

[@Dreamora-lorekeeper]

This is my favorite game of all time. It still looks so beautiful after all these years. Especially the enchanted kingdom

[@StiffAftermath]

A true hidden gem in every sense of the word.

[@KnowYourVideoGames]

I love Kameo. I'd really hoped that Kameo would get a remake treatment. I wanted to see it run at native 1080p@60fps on Xbox One. It was disappointing that Grabbed by the Ghoulies was ported with love and Kameo got cheap emulation.

[@hectoramador6397]

Kameo is 4K 60fps now :)

[@AstraleStar]

I was 4 years old when this game came out. Somehow I have a very vague memory of lil kid me bouncing on the bed with my dad in excitement as he showed me this magazine he got that announced this game's release. He knew I'd love it. Obviously when I first played, I had no idea what I was doing, but I still enjoyed it so much. I played what I could and when I got stumped, I'd ask my dad to play for me lol. I'm 20 years old now. I have my own copy and still long for a sequel. This was my very first video game, and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

[@russmawson6744]

Just started on this today. 11 years after I first completed it. Enjoying my 2nd play through so far

[@dioni2892]

[@merpo2806]

It does suck that Conker's Other Bad Fur Day was cancelled, but it is cool that this game and Goulies came to Xbox.

[@mononoke721]

I really enjoyed Kameo back in the day and I've gone back to it a few times over the years. I still think the whole transforming into different monsters and battling hordes of literally hundreds of enemies that this game did back in 2005 still hasn't been done enough in games since as they're both really fun gameplay mechanics.

[@Mr.Foxhat]

Just here to congratulate the Rare team on having Bethesda and it's subsidiaries as partners. Hopefully we see a Kameo 2 eventually.

[@steppin-razor]

It's really a shame Rare is a husk of it's former self these days. I think this was actually the first game I got on 360, and it STILL looks amazing to this day. Great animations, too.

[@RareToyCollectorSteve]

one of the best Xbox 360 titles

[@JohnzJandal]

I have watched this and the concept footage and pitch for Kameo 2 over and over again. One of my favorite games from the launch of the Xbox 360. In fact one of the all time under appreciated games out there. I'm just baffled that the planned sequel to Kameo 2 never got green lit, from the 3:53 minute clip I watched I was sold on the game. It feels like a sad slap in the face to fans of the original game that we may never get to see a Kameo 2, such a waste of an amazing concept

[@guzmorer7123]

This video makes me emotional

[@retrovideogamejunkie]

question : in rare replay there are an inverse control yes or not option? because it was so hard to aim (to me) with aeroplane controls just like in jetforce geminis ...

[@Jingleboy14]

I feel bad for never playing this game.

[@crystola99]

+Jingleboy14 Definitely play it someday! It's the closest rare got to its "roots" I'd say in a long time. I will admit my bias though, I wouldn't be a gamer if it weren't for this game. Check out Viva Pinata too, it's an odd recommendation, I know. But if you like simulation games you would probably love that one. It's beautifully complex in the sequel.
