Conker's Bad Fur Day - Legacy

Legacy

After the release of Conker's Bad Fur Day, Rare began development of a new Conker game referred to as Conker's Other Bad Day, though it was ultimately cancelled. Designer Chris Seavor said that it was to be a direct sequel dealing with "Conker's somewhat unsuccessful tenure as King. He spends all the treasury money on beer, parties and hookers. Thrown into prison, Conker is faced with the prospect of execution and the game starts with his escape, ball and chain attached, from the Castle's highest tower." When Rare was purchased by Microsoft in 2002, Rare instead developed Conker: Live & Reloaded, a remake of Bad Fur Day which was released for the Xbox console in 2005. The most substantial changes over the original include updated graphics and a brand new multiplayer mode that could be played through Xbox Live, which features different character classes and game missions. Several adjustments were also made in the single-player mode: many minor obscenities within the voice dialogue that were present in the Nintendo 64 game were censored at Microsoft's behest, the camera control was refined and improved with a zoom function, and an auto-targeting system was added to the game. Conker: Live & Reloaded received generally favorable reviews from critics, though not as high as Bad Fur Day.
