Conker: Live and Reloaded is a fantastic remake of the late N64 era release Conker’s Bad Fur Day, but it wasn’t particularly well received at the time. The reason? People expected big things out of Microsoft’s purchase of Rare in 2002, and they got precisely two games on the original Xbox, the maligned Grabbed by the Ghoulies and a remake. It’s one of the best looking games on the Xbox by far.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day designer Chris Seavor and programmers Shawn Pile and Chris Marlow recently reunited to record a developer’s commentary for the controversial game.

The three gents take a no-holds-barred look at the game, which was Rare’s final release both for the Nintendo 64 in its original incarnation, and the Xbox in its remade form. It’s just as crass as Conker himself, so keep that in mind before listening.

The commentary is in six parts, here’s a link for the Youtube playlist.
