"If we DO lose Rare, will YOU buy an X-Box??"

Personally, if Rare announced today that all their future titles will be on X-Box, I wouldn't rush out and buy one tomorrow. For me, the X-Box really is very unappealing. I used to want Halo, but seeing as it's now coming out on PC, I'm not bothered about that. There are no games I want, I curse that 'controller' and it's just so damn ugly! (Those are all my own opinions, so no X-Box fanboys please).

I tells ya, Rare's games would have to be REALLY special for me to buy an X-Box, and even then, I'd wait till it's reduced to about £100.

Who cares about Rare ? By the time they get any games ready for the X Box the console may well be obsolete anyway - they've given us Star Fox Adventures on the GC and very little else.

Rare are only good because they have nintendo backing them, im sure they would soon fail if MS bought them.........

I won't believe it until I see it anyway, plus if this whole "Gamecube to be last console to be made by Nintendo" rumour is true (which it's not) then letting such a good game making company like Rare go would be a bit of a bad move no?

True, i'd just have ignore any news about a new Banjo game. Rare are stupid if the do move, games like Banjo and Kameo are never gonna be as succesful as they would on a Nintendo console. They're Nintendo style games, the rest of the gaming community puts the blinkers on all calls them childish.

this link is quite funny. Everyone take a peek :D

I'm not so sure, if they released a Banjo Kazzoie exclusive I would probably be swayed to buying one, BK games were amongst my favourite games ever.

There's no way this wuld tempt me into buying an Xbox, it's not worth forking out the cash to get a console that has a Rare game come out like every year maximum. I don't enough time to play gakmes as it is so owning 2 consoles would be a complete waste of money. With all the games coming out on the Cube I'd never have time to play on 'em both.

Yep, just wish I had enough money FOR THEM ALL!!!!



MUAAHAHAHHAHA MUAHAHAH








ahem

That's the spirit!

I was planning to get a X-box with all my christmas money not long ago.

Then I purchased tonnes of GC mags and then it hit me... "Wait a minute, wouldnt it just be better to use all that X-box money on all the new games set for release by christmas?"

I've never seen such a huge rush of games being released in just three months before.
