We've already seen a fairly abysmal Perfect Dark revival on the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One is going to get the Killer Instinct treatment, but what about the rest of the classic Rare franchises? What about Banjo-Kazooie or Conker or even some Battletoads! Wouldn't those be great to see make a comeback for the next-gen?
Yeah, they probably would be. Fortunately, Rare is keen on reviving some classics for their fans for the Xbox One. In speaking with OXM, Rare's Creative Director, Simon Woodroffe, issued the following remarks.

It can be used in some really - not gimmicky ways, which is what I think you'll see a fair amount of - but ways that actually really enhance the game. We've got some ideas for how to use it in the right way."(...)
"So if we can find the right - we're all about giving people new experiences, that's what we want to do. It's a very technical studio. I'm relatively new, what I've learned is they're brilliant at technology, they really know how to make creative things out of technology.
We want to find that thing that nobody's ever done before and make a game out of it. We should be inventing new genres, inventing new ways to play. And this sensor gives us new opportunities to do it, with the fidelity it has now."
