Today sources close to Rare told IGNcube that the game is developing at a snail\'s pace. It will allegedly not be ready in time for a 2002 release and, in fact, could slip into 2004. Insiders cite internal team problems at Rare and a general disorganization between the UK studio and Nintendo as reasons for the project\'s slow turnaround.

Ouch. That\'s almost as bad as us PS2ers waiting for Wipeout Fusion for 3 years then finding out it doesn\'t live up to the hype. So if any of you need an understanding shoulder to cry on, I\'m here for you.

My jaw hit the floor!! 2004?!?!...What\'s next? Metroid Prime better not get pushed back that far? WTF...what\'s wrong with Nintendo? Why is that they can\'t get it together?

Wow, that is quite a slip.

I\'ll stick with my prediction of Fall 2003, but Rare is just as bad with delays as Nintendo, traditionally, so you\'re right - don\'t hold your breath.

-Eik

I can\'t believe people thought this game would come out in 2002. Talk about ridiculous.

I can wait though. It\'s not like nothing good is going to come out till 2004.

This game will kick ass though. Even when they delayed the Perfect Dark for the 64 it sold a million.

yeah but Nintendo if they want to compete should be looking to get out as many big name games as possible as quickly as possible...possibly the biggest game to get the gamecube into the homes of the millions of casual gamers who arent interested in your Zelda\'s and Mario\'s is Perfect Dark... if GameCube doesnt make it to the casual gamers, Perfect Dark wont have a chance to sell millions...

Hmmmmmm.......why I\'m I not shocked typical rare/nintendo to delay something. Makes me glad I got that xbox.:fro: :nerd:

I thought Perfect Dark sucked.

I played Goldeneye wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy longer before getting bored.

Maybe because I\'m a big 007 fan eh?

i had the opposite feeling (of arousal) Serrano...perfect dark was much more silky smooth feeling (against my skin) and i could play with it for hours (uhh...yeah)

but i still got sick of it, i prefer more action based shooters, Half Life was a far superior game to both of them...

I cannot believe why everyone is compplaining about halo having 30fps but Perfect dark having below 15 frames

the game had a choppy framerate which made it unplayable + it was blurry as hell

Goldeneye forever

« **Reply #10 on:** January 13, 2002, 01:05:13 PM »

why is everyone sooo suprised about this ?

i mean the first game slipped back more times people almost thought it was going to be cancelled.

looks like they could of some friendly advice with the Free radical team to get things moving ...........oooooooppppppppssssssss forgot they fell out with each other

Perferct Dark was for N64
Halo was for XBOX

XBOX is the most advanced system out right now.
N64 is not.

ok?

thats not the point Im not comparing them, Im just complaining about the fps *****ing these days ,30fps is fine as logn as itbis rock solid

perfect dark was ok with the fps back then right (not for me but for the rest of you peope) Why is halo that bad, because it is on the most powerfull system?

DC was the most Powerfull, yet godzilla from the Japanese launch ran at 20-10fps (you had to see this!)

Traditionally Rareware always had a big part in any new
Nintendo console. I\'m don\'t have that impression right now
with the NGC...why is that ? I ask myself... maybe I\'m not up
to date and missed some fab news or maybe... :rolleyes:
Anyway, imo Rare should get the Bond license back or somethin\',
they\'re from the UK so they\'re the only ones who can deliver
a good Bond game. Just ditch Joanna Dark. Who needs a stupid
female action hero anyway....blagh the whole concept is highly
overrated if you ask me :thepimp:

Bah! Your not a true Perfect Dark fan. Joanna Dark rules. Speak for yourself man.

And I owned the game for almost 2 years, the framerate was fine. Only time when game got choppy is when your playing with 4 players and +4 sims. Or using explosives in co-op, counter-op modes.

Other than that, the game flowed fine.
