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!

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

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

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:

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

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.
