*note* I got this from another forum, I don't have my EGM yet so I can't verify.

Something smells fishy in GameCube land, and it's got Rare written all over it. Their suspicious absence from E3 only served to further fuel the fire around rumors that the developer is leaving for more flexible surroundings. Recent buzz indicates that we may learn the truth about their multi-platform future after Star Fox Adventures hits the U.S. And to whet your appetite further, here's the latest reconnaissance: The first games in their lineup are rumored to include a PS2 version of Perfect Dark Zero (can you say online play?) and an Xbox sequel to Conker's Bad Fur Day. Current speculation indicates that publishing duties will go to a major third party (to be announced) with GameCube-exclusive titles handled by Nintendo. Those may still include Kameo: Elements of Power and Donkey Kong Racing. Other Rare series may get divided up as well, so if you're a fan, you may have to buy multiple systems. Stay tuned ...
Anyway, I liked Conker a HELL of a lot more than PD, but that was largely due to N64's inferior hardware for PD; it ran like garbage. I think PD would've fit a lot better on XB, but hey, it's good news all around either way :)

i don't see how. not that im against Rare going third party, but i mean, why down grade the system? Perfect Dark should be on xbox or GameCube.

I do agree that PD should definitely be on GC or XB, not just because of the hardware, but because of PS2's crap ass analog sticks. Anyway, it is good news for the larger user base of PS2, though yeah, you could really say that for any game :p

More flexible surroundings? Who, besides nintendo, would put up with rare's shit? Every big game they make takes them atleast 3 years, and costs millions to make. And after seeing how good Star Fox Adventures looks, why would they want to downgrade to the PS2? I bet they are gonna try to get way too fancy, and the game will be all choppy and will come out in 2007.
No matter what system PD and conker come out for, I'll be the first in line, but I think leaving Nintendo is a stupid move.
