Apparently the remake of the original N64 game is looking absoloutly stunning and like nothing else on, or coming out on Xbox. Knowing Rare, this could well be true, just look at Starfox Adventures.
Oh and Fable will be out in the summer.
Talking of which, I wonder how Kameo is getting on...
Now, I doubted they'd release a game of such high regard in the summer months, otherwise they would already be building up hype, and it's pointless to bring it out in Autumn - why not wait until Christmas when maximum profit will be gained?
I guess only time will tell, but I think it's very likely it'll be pushed back from summer.
> I think Fable shall be coming out this Winter, actually.
According to the Microsoft guy (Ken Lobb) who's responsible for all of Rare's games and all of Lionheads games. After playing the near final build of Fable, the game will be out for Summer in the States.
Call me stupid but I think I trust this guy more than your prediction.
Expect there to be a hell of a lot more to it than the fun, but flawed multiplayer on N64. I'm guessing it's gonna be a bit like capture the flag on the N64, just with a hell of a lot more players, weapons and much larger levels.
All I can say is roll on E3 when the game will be properly shown to the public.
They'd better have expanded it a lot, and implemented a stats system too.
I'd like to see a fleshed out tank mode deathmatch/flag type thing though and a bigger race mode with weapons.
I didn't much care for that mode. The Beach, where you had to either get the squirrels to a safe haven or use the Teddys to stop the squirrels; and the standard Deathmatch modes are the best.
