If Nintendo had a choice I'm thinking it would prefer Rare develop for PS2. The reason being is that Sony is already way ahead of Nintendo but the last thing Nintendo needs is to be stuck in 3rd place position. In all likelihood if Nintendo remains in 3rd place it'll stay that way for the next generation. Nintendo can't afford for MS to pull away. I am not sure if Rare has that kind of drawing power outside of the Nintendoverse but the quality epic games they are sure to release(PD0 must stay exclusive) won't help things. lloyd [ To quit the NGamers mailing list, send the message "unsubscribe ] [ NGamers" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 2 May 2002 18:03:53 -0700 (PDT) From: Dave Rhodes Subject: Re: [NG] Rare becoming 3rd party - --- DarkBastion@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 5/2/02 4:08:27 PM Eastern > Daylight Time, > mccoyjr@Glue.umd.edu writes: > > > > there must be something else there else why would > PD0 have a release date > > of 2004!

But back to RE, I hope to think that most of you played it years ago on either the PSX or Saturn, but I'll put a spolier space in for the uncivilized. ;-) ** SPOILER SPACE ** 1 2 3 OK. So I got to the Guardhouse, with those nasty spiders. Good thing they're not like the first with all the baby spiders. And to get there I had to take the path to the crank at the shed and met up with the 'chain' monster. That freak killed me the first time while I tried to kill it with the shotgun (the new shotgun you get after the snake has lunch), but that didn't do much. So I came back with the grenade launcher and 6 flame rounds and three acid rounds, and still it killed me, so the third time I came back with the grenade launcher and three acid rounds, which knocked it over and I took off out of there. I think that was the best course of action. Then I got to the guardhouse, pished the crate over the hole in the floor (where's the statues?) and then killed two nasty spiders and then saved my game (I have 14 ink ribbons left, so I think I'm doing well). ===== ** Dave ** super_trey_bros@yahoo.com XBOX Rules =) "I hate this.

Makes me thinking of getting JSR. I guess, it was pure luck that a friend of me gave me his Dreamcast for very little money (present suits better :) Couldn't resist because of that worse PS2 version of Grandia2.

XBOX is still alive. They got 19 & 20 with two mediocre first person shooters. Funny that Sonic Advance and Sonic Adventure 2 are selling so well. If the ppl that are buying SA2B would have just bought SA2 last year, then maybe the Dreamcast would have... ah. forget it. GTA3 ( a game that will never come to the Gamecube) is still doing fine. I was surprised to see Virtua Fighter 4 so high on the list. Where the fudge (but I didn't say 'fudge') were those people when Virtua Fighter 3 came out? ahh. forget it. GTA2 for the PSX at 7? There was a better version of GTA2 on another console you know, do you know what console that is? ===== ** Dave ** super_trey_bros@yahoo.com XBOX Rules =) "I hate this.
