Surprise, surprise. Star Fox gets delayed to September. You'd think Rareware would learn by now and just stop giving us a release date until the game has gone into feature freeze. But oh well, what else did you expect from them?

*silence*

So who thinks ED is getting delayed?

Dang Xantar, I was just gonna make a topic about it.

But this really pisses me off. Those Bastards. That is utter Bull. I can see 1 delay. Maybe 2. But they pushed it too far this time. Ive lost some respect for Rareware right now.

Bad news... Gamecube's Summer Line-up just lost a lot of fire with that delay...

I wonder if Rare always knew it was coming out in September, and they just gave the early date to keep fans and websites on a leash...

[GameMaster]

Well, I can forget having fun this summer :mad:

:p ;)

Here, let me act shocked and surprised that a game by Nintendo has been postponed... :eek:

Oh well... better in the end I guess :-o

All I have to say is there better be a lot of cinema scenes :mad:

I hope they took the time to add more Arwing levels. The whole Zelda-clone with Starfox on it thing just isn't doing it for me.

I agree totally.

[Blackmane]

Well, I can say I'm disapointed but definetely not too surprised. The delays are a trademark of Rare by now and you think they could learn to make legit and realistic release dates. But, who knows, maybe they think getting our hopes up and then smashing them down is good business. :rolleyes:

[D-realJos]

LOL...

I can't stop laugh about the situation because it's really kinda funny. (edit... one look at IGN GC board...and you wanna shoot yourself)

Lol, it's almost like Nintendo's goal is to annoy fans to death.

Nintendo -- SF will be delayed until bla bla bla...

Gamer -- @#%# $%#!@!!

Time passes....

Gamers -- Man, SF will rock, can't wait for it. Man, I love you Nintendo!

Nintendo -- We need some more time, just a bit longer!

Gamers -- @$%# Nintendo! $##@%!!

D-real -- Laughs his ass off!


Same routine over and over and over and over and over....



How freaking long does it take before some people get a hint?

Nintendo and Co delay games.. to no end!

Really, with me it's like "whatever, when the game comes, it comes."
I refuse to be part of the whole "I'm happy, no wait, I'm sad" party.

PS: la la la.. :unsure: .... Oh yeah, not saying we shouldn't be disappointed, but isn't this getting old?

[DeathsHand]

Maybe Rare and Nintendo intentionally give false release dates so that when it gets "delayed" Nintendo fans go "Don't worry! It's for the better! They are delaying it to improve upon the game!" when it really wasn't gonna be ready to be released there in the first place :p

:D

Anyways... this is kinda good news and kinda bad news... on one hand, SFA is one of my most wanted games... and now I have to wait longer to get it... on the other hand, it gives me one less thing to buy in that time period and maybe (if it doesn't also get delayed) makes it more likely that I'll actually buy ED...

[BreakABone]

Well I am kind of disappointed in the delay. I could live with it.. just would like to point out

This will probably be the first game to appear at 3 back to back e3s with a different name each time

2000-DinoSaur Planet
2001-StarFox Adventure:Dinosaur Planet
2002-StarFox Adventures?

I think it's also the only one to go through such changes.. I mean compare the graphics from e2 2k1 to the recent pics

[D-realJos]

You all seem to be taking it a lot more maturely that those goons at IGNcube boards though.

not that I expect otherwise, but it's good to know..

[GameMaster]

Well, we've come upon the same experience time and time again. We're at the point now where we dismiss it casually like a teacher does in a public school.

Hmm...

WTF Nintendo and Rare! You screwed us over again! Screw you! All of your games suck anyways. I never really wanted this game, but I will probably get it when it finally comes out, if it ever comes out. This is so stupid. Delaying is for losers.




:D


Well, this puts a dent on the summer, but oh well. It is Nintendo GameCube! There should be other good games out! :rolleyes:

[Blix]

Nintendo/Rare should start sticking to its release dates.

[The Germanator]

Rare game delayed?!!! That's unpossible!

If that was the case, then some scenarios could have played out like...

Rare team member -- "I think the graphics can be more immersive if we actually added fur to the characters, and better detailed textures throughout the levels"

Rare team director -- "Nah! You know how our fans are, we'll disappoint them if we don't stick to the date."

Rare team menber -- "I was thinking, what is Starfox without Arwing levels? We should add a few!"

Rare team Director -- "Nah! You know how our fans are, we'll disappoint them if we don't stick to the date."

Nintendo -- Well, the game launched, but I really can't say it's great among the gamers.

Rare -- "WTF? We made every effort in our power NOT to disappoint them!"

On a related and more general note...


I think we always look at thing from a one-sided perspective, in the most cynical way. After that, we'd be the same ones saying "oh, the graphics are only a hi-res version of the original N64 game," or.. "No Ar-wing levels? How dumb could Rare be?" We'd say all that, but we'd never stop to think about the fact that, with a little more time, those asspects might have been possible.

Really, don't we think that after working on a game for 2+ years, that a developer really wants to get it over with? However, after spending that amount of time on a game, wouldn't a developer's worst fear is that the game fall wayyyy below expectations? With that said, most developers are still forced to endure longer development time, in HOPES to make the game better(in the worst cases, with all the spent creating a game, it still may be judged as standard, or even sub-par)

How selfish/thoughtless are we, to believe that we have the most to endure? We have other games to play in order to lessen the pain of a delay, but what do developers have until their game is finished? Excessive condemnation from gamers, that's what!

[Gamer]

O man, if this delay proves to be true that will really piss me off. Its already been delayed once! aaaaahhhhhhhh.

[Bond]

I hate to say it, but I told you so.

[Perfect Stu]

D-Real, are actually happy this delay was made?

Sure, it might be a better product, but how long does one want to wait? Especially gamers who only own a Gamecube.

This shouldn't really affect me, because I'm most likely getting a 'Cube in the winter...sooo...I'll just buy it then

edit: that is, if it doesn't get delayed again :mad2:

[Drunk Hobbit]

*reschedules date Danchastu gets GameCube...if ever*

Hahah this isn't the first time the game has been delayed

The game started out as an n64 game 3 years ago.. it has been delayed a couple of times on the n64.. then it moved to the Gc.. where it has been delayed several times.. atleast 4 by my count

[Glenn the Hero]

I wouldn't mind delays if they told us WHY the games get delayed, like they did for Perfect Dark. I was happy to wait for the co-op and counter-op modes, once I knew what they were...

Again. I want a REAL Starfox.
