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.

The thing is, the wouldn't need to rush them to get some completed quicker.
They had plenty of titles in development for Gamecube that they simply put into Xbox development - surely at least one of them should be out by now...

True but Microsoft are using the Xbox to get established. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft have asked Rare to leave Perfect Dark Zero until the launch of Xbox 2.
The game's going to shift consoles.
Rare's games are worth the wait.

I'm sure we'd all rather wait and get one great title than 3 average ones, but Rare are so slow, surely they could hire more quality staff and get titles out more regularly ?
GAH! It's all a future investment.

Rare take their time to do things right.

Ho ho, apparently it was $375m.
I thought it was double that. $300 million
I may be wrong, but no matter whether I am or not, it's still a sum that the current Rareware, being quite honest, aren't worth.

Well Microsoft payed what? $150m for Rare?
If i was Microsoft i would be wondering where my money went.
