I actually start to not like them. They still haven't finished a game for GC! Just give us SFA and leave! And make a Perfect Dark sequel (exclusive of course, unless they decide not to use Joanna Dark). That's all I want from you. Let Nintendo or some other company make a original DK game, unlike the terrible DK64!

Pretty stupid getting mad at a company just because they might leave as a Nintendo second party

Anyways... who said they're leaving? Even if they become a third party, doesn't mean they won't make anymore games for NGC... and if Sega and Namco can get Nintendo licenses, surely another good developer that even used to be a Nintendo second party could get one now and then to make exclusively for a Nintendo system, right?.... Right? It's possible, right?

[fingersman]

Yes it is possible DH.

I think people are questioning IGN's reliablity because they don't want to believe it.
While Rare's games are good they do then to take a little while to get on the shelves.( it looks like the same for SK as well, but time will tell)

Besides what is everyone worried about?? The worst that could happen is Rare decides not to develop for GC at all.
(hehehehe maybe I shouldn't have said that)

I'm not mad with them because they are leaving Nintendo, just because they haven't made any good games the last year.

[GameKinG]

As long as they dont port current exclusives (or at least not soon), and give GC PD0 first, Im happy.

[Revival]

GameKinG, why don't you want PD0 to come to NGC first?

[GameKinG]

That dose loose confusing, but the "not" only refers to the porting, which means I do want PD0 first for GC.

[Revival]

Oh ok, I didn't know you were talking about porting. Thanks for clearing that all up.

Edit: I don't want that to happen either

I still don't think they can bring out a PD game on a not-Nintendo system, because it's licenced by Nintendo. Of course they could create a totally new franchise and never make another PD game. Perhaps Nintendo will make it one day.

I'd like to see them try something more modern... But not like james bondish...

But rather an war type of game... Either modern like medal of honor, or some big like space marine war... like umm... I dunno is halo like that? I guess it kinda is, I've never played it though so I dunno the whole deal... but it seems like human peoples against aliens... I mean like a big war of like humans vs. humans... in like a starcraft setting... multiple planets and all... big a FPS...

Bye...

Sounds cool!

Um... Methinks Rare owns the name "Perfect Dark"(<--no facts to back this up)

Also, even if Ninteno does own the name "Perfect Dark", they could slightly change the name to... say... "After Dark" or some other "Dark" name

I mean, nintendo doesn't own them all... or do they

[Angrist]

Hmm... I'll check out the game and see what it says...

[GameKinG]

Well, I dont know how ownership works with nintendo, but they seem to get really uptight about people using their stuff. So even If they changed the name but used all the same people or whatever, It might not work.

And DH: Medal of Honor is World War II, how modern

Perfect Dark is 2020 or something, thats above modern...Its future.

lol.. good point...

But when I say more modern, I mean not crazy in the future... With lots of magical... futureness... and not set in some kind of fake world or something... but taking place in the real world, and with the army and junk with more modern weapons... Sorry I couldn't think of a more modern FPS that's in that same army/war style, but I think if there's anything like that it'd be on PC... and since my PC blows, I wouldn't know about it

So hows about you just go die?

I'd rather get a futuristic war game though... With the neato space marines and a big battlefield with lots of crazy shooting people and big mechs and all this crap... and you run into like Militia or whatever and crap...

But still.... Go die

It is very ignorant to assume Rare owns the name, having done no research at all. Hehe. Anywho, Rare owns the following:

Perfect Dark
Kameo
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Grabbed by the Ghoulies
It's Mr. Pants
Shot in the Dark
Conker's Pocket Tales
Jet Force Gemini
Dinosaur Planet
Monster Max

So basically, their biggest games they don't have right to. Perfect Dark they have, and that's really all they got to work with. Dinosaur Planet, who cares, they can't make a sequel without Star Fox. Conker sold like **** on N64, I doubt it will do well. Kameo doesn't seem to strike anyway as a great game. Jet Force Gemini was never too popular.

Anyway, After Dark is a dead trademark, Rare had it. But Nintendo could easily just create a new storyline and make a new FPS, I mean, it's not like the PD story was that great.
