Default Star Fox delayed

http://cube.ign.com/articles/355/355719p1.html

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...

Well, I can forget having fun this summer



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

Oh well... better in the end I guess

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

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.

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.

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

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



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...

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 Adventureinosaur 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

Thumbs up

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..

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.







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

Nintendo/Rare should start sticking to its release dates.
