Perfect Dark fans: bad news?
don't mean to give you a heart attack, but I came across this article today
http://www.gamesradar.com/news/game_news_2607.html
I don't know about you, but I think it would suck big time.
Plus I know that rare puts a lot of time and thought into their games to make them perfect, but why does it take so long for them to release a game. Couldn't they hire more people to work ont ehm and beef up production? It just pisses me off that I have to wait so long for each game. Anyone feel the same?

to me, Rare is like Blizzard in that it takes a special kind of person to produce their games and can be forgiven for whatever time it takes to make it right.
I'm not happy about waiting, but they're gonna get my money anyway

I guess 3rd person wont be that bad. I just didn't think Get Force Gemini was one of Rare's best.
Where will I get my FPS fix on the cube? Is EA porting over the Bond game from PS2 right?

They can take as long as they want. They take more time than the average developer, and I guess that's why their games are always great, and the games from developers that rush them out are usually mediocre at best. If you look at all the really great games MGS, Zelda, Final Fantasy etc. they are all in development for several years. The wait pays off folks, just be patient.
The third person thing sounds great too. Maybe it will end up being more like a MGS type game which would be awesome as I'm only a very casual FPS fan.

I'm hoping there's no truth to this rumor. I wouldn't be as interested in a 3rd-person game. Of course, it's possible that Rare could be making a 3rd-person game and a first-person shooter both based on Perfect Dark. Hopefully they'll make some sort of announcement soon, though. Rare's been too quiet lately.

Hell, I'd buy a game called "Watching Paint Dry" if Rare made it. They have consistantly been one of the most professional and innovative developers in the console world. I believe their first game for the Gamecube will be Donkey Kong Racing, and I can't wait.
I'd rather have the product done right, than done fast.

The one think that I hate with waiting is that overall it hurts support for the system. Look at N64, all the delays hurt sales and support for the system itself. Conker's Bad Fur Day which is arguably a system seller came out during the dying days of the system to virtually no fanfare.
Do I want them to rush the game? Absolutely not, but with virtually no real must have games and a small selection at launch, delays for huge titles like this will hurt the system in the long run.
