News: Perfect Dark Zero Far Far Away
One of the biggest reasons why Rareware fans brought Xboxs has gone down the drain.
When it was first announced that Rareware had been sold to Microsoft fans were shocked in large. Many hardcore Rareware fans brought an Xbox to get all of Rareware's new games.
One game that really had people excited was the then unseen Perfect Dark Zero. Fans even went to such lengths as to buy an Xbox for the game.
A video featuring Joanna Dark in a more anime look was shown last year and fans have been eagerly waiting for news since, and today they have had some bad news.
It seems one of the most anticipated games for the Xbox wont in fact come out on the Xbox. It has a release year of 2006, and will appear on Microsoft's next console.

I am gutted to hear that sales will be affected I really am. Maybe Halo 2, Half Life 2, Operation Flashpoint XB, Counter Strike XB, Swat: Global Strike, Doom 3, XIII and Deus EX 2 might make up for one game :) The GTA Double Pack will take the place of it nicely in terms of sales.
But considering I was going to buy a 'box when PD0 comes out it does potentially damage sales.
No.
I don't get invloved with finances so what Microsoft do with their money is up to them. Its hardly set them back in anyway shape of form that means they haven't been able to support the Xbox else where.
The finest FPS games in the history of gaming are due out within the next 9 months. Coupled with Xbox LIVE I think I can survive without a game I was never interested in first time around.

Why wasn't it working.
I just think it's bad that since X-box bought Rare, Rare are still developing Nintendo games.
By chance do you think PD0 will appear on the PC?

Actually that is not true... in the last year Rare have released 3 games... one is of course Starfox Adventures... the other... Donkey Kong Country on the GBA... and the third? Banjo Kazooie: Gruntilda's revenge for the GBA...
Yep it certainly does look like Nintendo are sitting smuggly... since their sale last year RARE have only released games for Nintendo :P

What is likely is that Perfect Dark Zero WILL be released on Xbox - just before production of the console finally ends - chances are the next Microsoft console will be backwards compatable (as will Nintendo's next - hopefully) and so it wont actually be obsolete.
I thought it was going to be caned or something.
All this means i that, when it's released, it'll be a lot better as it'll be on a better console.
BAH.

Good old Rare and their urine extracting release dates.
Ahhhh well, I guess I'll just have to put up with Halo 2, Halflife 2, Doom 3 amongst other while I wait.
It better be worth the wait.

Thought that might happen.
Read it on IGN or something about a week ago.
