March 05, 2004 - With Grabbed by the Ghoulies already released and rumors about Perfect Dark 2 being secured for the next Xbox console, that leaves Kameo and Conker: Live and Uncut as the next great things for the Xbox to come from first-party developer Rare. Or are they?

Fresh info out of the 2004 D.I.C.E. conference in Las Vegas suggests that among the surprise announcements from Microsoft leading up to and through this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo will be a new title from Rare. IGN will surely provide more info than this -such as a name, genre and details-- when such details become available, but for now expect a "surprise" announcement about a new Rare title, in addition to a handful of other as yet secret Xbox games sometime between now and the second week of May.

Bah...i have no remorse for Rare

I think its going to be about Conker and something that will make it sound better then when it was first announced. If they release Conker this year and the reviews about it are pretty good, I will buy an XBox. (and dont worry, I'll keep to what I said)

What's Rare again?

They sure messed up their last games and they haven't made true their promises of releasing some more games in 2003...

The surprise better be good.

last i saw conker and kameo, they looked like the next great flops rather then the next great things. So I sure hope they have some new title planed.

Have they released anything for Xbox yet?

Grabbed by the Ghoulies is the only Rare game I know that has been released. I also heard that the Conker game would just be a remake with better graphics, but I havent been following any of this so dont trust me!

sweet first we get Halo, then were gettings halo 2, and now Perfect Dark. Im glad I bought my xbox.

I wonder if anybody will remember Perfect Dark when it finally comes out considering it came out on a bad time on the N64 and well... it didn't let it be that popular. If anything, most people will be asking: "Two? When was the firs one released?"

Hero2 · 03-07-2004, 07:12 PM

Two "Perfect Darks" dident they relese one for GBA . Then that would make this three

Ginkasa · 03-07-2004, 08:51 PM

Actually, its Perfect Dark Zero, I think, unless something has been changed.

I don't see why people are excited about it anymore, at least not to the "its going to be the best game EVER!" kind of fervor around it. Rare has already released several games that have not met expectations (and one that went far below the lowest expectations). Not only that, but they're taking longer and longer between releases. I personally can't help but see Perfect Dark Zero becoming anything more than a letdown.

Just my thoughts...

*shrugs and walks away*

bobcat · 03-07-2004, 08:52 PM

Rare?

Who's that again?

Null · 03-07-2004, 08:54 PM

i'd be willing to bet money it will be a let down.

but some people liked the first, and therefor will be excited about the 2nd. they have a right to be.

i hated the first so prolly thats why i feel as i do. *shrug*
