It's not like they're already changing the face of GC, is it. You'll probably still get Starfox and Perfect Dark. As for the rest, we haven't heard much of them yet anyway, so they won't be missed that much.

It's the truth.

No i didnt mean that at all, i was just stateing that we are all living in the N64era when they were good.

I still wont be impressed by them if they stay on the gamecube until they make good games, no matter what console it is on.

Maybe rare arnt that good, maybe if more developers developed for the N64 we would have seen better shooters than goldeneye. Maybe the poor sales of the N64 was a blessing for rare.

Thing is we havent seen a game by them in the 128bit era meaning anything could have happened to their abilitys of making games.

Actually i take back what i said first time becuase yes rare are only great while working for nintendo, i cant see microsft help rare as much as nintendo did on starfox. They wont even be allowed to have a game in development for 3 years on xbox for gods sake.

You so Rare are only great whlie they work for Nintendo?

You biased bunch of turnips, you!


Anyway, I know that part of the reason Rare's games are so good is because they take their time and delay them, but many other companies take just as long as them and still produce very little in terms of result.

Rare are the best devellopers in the west by far, no matter who they work for.

Yeah damn right, lol.

But see thats 3 developers who are good, there are more aswell.
Rare arnt the only good ones, in fact bad developers are getting better, like footy teams doing better than the better ones, if you know what i mean.


Like people say, rare release one game every year. Thats the only reason they do so good, they spend more time on them. If any other developer did they would to.

Nintendo should buy out Squaresoft, Capcom and Konami. That should see about 70% of all things good on GC.

Why they cant handle the power.

We are living in the N64era when they were good, i dont care about them until they show, on the xbox if its the case, that they are still good.

PD was great goldeneye was better. Banjo wa the greatest.
They were ages ago, who knows whats happened in rare hq since then?
