There were so many rumors floting around about it being a Xbox 2 game that I'm not even suprised.

Also, I don't agree with your line about Nintendo dumping Rare being a good thing... because if Nintendo still had Rare I'm sure that delay wouldn't have happend and we would have the game this fall. So acctually, I'm more upset with Nintendo than Microsoft

At least MS has a great FPS to make up for PD's absence, unlike Nintendo.

Also, I just wanted to point our that PD:0 being released in 2006 is crazy... we are talking about a game that already has had 3 years of development under it's belt, and now getting another 3 years on it... This has to be the longest development cycle in the history of video games.

I think it would be a VERY safe bet that PD:0 will be one of the best and deepest FPSs of all time.

That's all I gots to say

Why do I have the feeling that if Rare was still backing Nintendo and it was still going to take 6 years to finish PD:0, instead of saying it is going to be an incredibly deep and good FPS, you would be mocking them for taking so long?

Eh, just a thought.

Instead of getting into one of these "If this happened then you would be saying this" debates, how about we actually see if Crash's post is even legit. And right now all signs point to no.

I'm glad I wasn't one of the people who jumped to buy an Xbox after Rare moved. People who bought an Xbox just because they heard Rare moved are "interesting" to me. The reason I didn't buy an Xbox yet was because I have yet to see a Rare game come out. If a Rare game is good enough to warrant a purchase from me, I will do it. But buying one now is stupid to me.

And on the subject of Rare possibly waiting until 2006 or later. Oh well. Maybe that will give PD:0 more time to get ebtter. Even though its Rare's thing to do, they can't mess it up. Hell, if all they did was remake PD and give it better graphics, better multi, online play, and some more new things here and there, I would buy it. I hope Rare at least does something like that and includes it with PD:0.

on a lighter note. I wish Nintendo would spend 4-6 years on a Zelda game and not 2.

*edit* Here's some proof on where crash might've gotten it.

I'm sorry, but how nintendo fans are blowing this out of proportion smacks of a desperate attempt to take a shot at the XBox while the Gamecube continues to flounder and Nintendo continues to struggle to stay a viable console company. I'm saying this and I OWN a Gamecube.

A Rare game got delayed... what a ground breaking revelation

And Jonbo, if you think Rare is the only reason to get a XBox, you are letting your biases keep you from a great gaming experience. Thats all I'll say on that.

Well that sucks...honestly, if Rare doesn't make a full-out FPS for XBox, I'm gonna be pissed.

So what if the only reason I get an Xbox is because of Rare. I bought a GameCube mainly for Nintendo games. Thats what I mainly own, along with a few Sega games. I buy a system because of its games, not because of its power. That's why I would buy an Xbox. Because of its games.

Plus, the way its looking right now from Rare, none of the games they show, with the possible exception of Conker, is grabbing me to buy an XBox.

no, it means thats his opinion, What? his opinion cant be that there arent great games on xbox? or his opinion cant be that rare was all he was interested in?

your getting awful defensive on the slightly bit of downside news, that no one even knows is true or not. your labeling people as biased or talking in general about 'nintendo fans'. But you dont say such when the bad news is about one of the other consoles.

People have opinions. It doesnt mean they are biased, it doesnt mean they are fanboys, it doesnt mean they are trying to poke fun or kick a console on every bit of bad news. It means its thier opinion. If its not a big deal, let it be.

Ok, his opinion is that there are NO GREAT GAMES on the XBox. Well then he is either biased or a fool. Saying that the XBox has no great games on it is the same as saying that the Gamecube has no great games on it. It makes him sound like an idiot, and I know he isn't an idiot.

1) Yeah... I'M the the one being defensive in here... sure

2) I'm talking about the seeming joy that some Nintendo fans seem to take in the delay of a Rare game. Like its some sort of come-uppance for Microsoft. Thats stupid and THATS defensive and childish.

3) I don't post negative news in other console forums. In fact, I rarely even go there because the mnajority of gaming I do is on the XBox, and a little on the Gamecube. Whenever Nintendo fans post in this section of the forum, its something negative. Keep grasping at straws and let your loyalties deprive you some GREAT GAMES.

Yes, and some opinions are uneducated and BIASED, as many in here have been. To say that the only reason to buy a XBox, is Rare, is uneducated and biased. Deal with it. I had hoped we were passed all of this silliness.

And for the record, thats MY opinion.

LOL

Cube-Europe is not a reliable source. Those people can't spell worth ****. I'll look into the-magicbox though.

Because you think I'm biased against Nintendo...

(hey, it's the truth)

But I'm not... Perfect Dark still sits atop my list of favorite games of all time. Not that I could make such a list, but I'm sure it would be top 3... along side Zelda OoT and WWF No Mercy.

Perfect Dark 0 is in a tie for my #1 most anticipated game coming this generation (if it comes)... I've been saying it sense before Ps2 was even released... cept back then there was no tie. (there also was no Halo)
