"Microsoft rushing Rare."

Microsoft expect Rare to have made 5 games in the next 2 years with the first appearing in Spring next year.

So not only do they have to convert current games onto the new platform they need to be made in the next 2 years....

HA HA HA HA HA either Microsoft are stupid or they are rushing Rare.

Out of those, only Perfect Dark's been CONFIRMED.

RARE have probably been into drugs all along andwe've not known about it until I accuse them of it.

Heh I remember Battletoads. Kapow!

Anyway, Rare being rushed eh? Nice, maybe Rare will come up with the goods and they will all be great and all this taking time over games is just an excuse to scive off.

Well I said maybe ;)

Why are we still talking about RARE, it's not like they exist anymore in Nintendo's lives, so why can't we just forget the losers and move on.

I don't think the Stamper bros. have left Rare. They issued a statement saying how they are looking forward to working on the X-box and that the Rare fans will continue to buy the new games.

Battletoads is hardly anything to shout about. Even for a side scrolling beat 'em up it lacked anything but hammer the attack button.

I like Digitiser, I don't agree with evrything they say but at least they aren't scared to voice their opinions.

Can't comment on that one...

Most certainly.

The most opinionated games critics in the world.

Digitiser rule, being honest and opinionated and all, but I disagree with some of their opinions.

They didn't like Smash Brothers Melee, but gave the "generic" Virtua Fighter 4 5/5.

Here they seem to say Perfect Dark wasn't as good as it should've been and that's a sign of Rare going downhill.
PD wasn't quite perfect (the alien levels near the end were dodgy), but the only reason it disappointed was down to the HUGE expectations after Goldeneye. The sort of expectations that weren't possible on N64 hardware.

Also, saying that Conker shows a lack of creativity...



Still, I hear that the Stampers have left. That can't be good...

Battletoads was only average?

Goldeneye one of the greatest shooters of all time?

Who are these people?
