Ign x360 reports:

"Perfect Dark Details
Microsoft confirms online co-op and weapons, plus release date and status report news

<-->

...Lastly, we've learned that Perfect Dark Zero is not concretely set to launch day and date with Xbox 360. In other words, it's doubtful as a day one launch title. Expect to see it in 2005, and most probably before Christmas, but not day one..."

[Kobun Heat]

Pretty much.

 

[Gek54]

I hope they will annouce the same for PGR3.

 

[Goreomedy]

Don't rush this one Microsoft. Naysayers will never let you live it down.

 

[Mr_Furious]

Typical Rare. They can't ever hit a release date. I'll honestly be surprised if the fucking game actually comes out in '05.

 

[Sathsquatch]

Call of Duty 2 it is then. Hopefully Kameo makes day one.

 

[Zep]

what great news....


yea right, this launch keeps getting worse.

they had announced a release date?

 

[drohne]

it'd be nice to have a clear picture of the launch lineup. i need to decide whether i'm getting a 360 this year or not. this "launch window" stuff is total nonsense...a game is available at launch or it isn't. i don't care about pd zero, but i want to see oblivion and/or rr6 confirmed for day one.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Huh? PDO came out a long time ago.

Spoiler

Panzer Dragoon Orta

They really don't have much of a "window" after launch if they want to get the game out in time to take advantage of holiday shopping. Three weeks, maybe.

 

[Mr_Furious]

they had announced a release date?

Uh, okay. I guess it was just me that "expected" PD0 to be a launch title.

 

[maximum360]

Hopefully no one was shocked at this announcement. As much as PD0 would be a great addition to the library it could probably even slip to very early next year (though I'm sure M$ is doing everything they can to get it released this year).

 

[monkeyrun]

cool so should we be expecting PD0 in 2007 ?

 

[maximum360]

Hopefully no one was shocked at this announcement. As much as PD0 would be a great addition to the library it could probably even slip to very early next year (though I'm sure M$ is doing everything they can to get it released this year).

Until recently I never even considered that it would make it as a launch title.

 

[CB3]

what great news....


yea right, this launch keeps getting worse.

there will be atleast 10-15 games at launch with the rest coming within the following weeks. i dont see whats so bad about that.

 

[Kleegamefan]

Uh, okay. I guess it was just me that "expected" PD0 to be a launch title.

 

[Ironclad]

I'm not surprised that it's getting delayed. This was easy to see coming. Still, this extended time period, however long it may be, will give them time to put a little more polish on the game. Hopefully it doesn't spiral out of control in typical Rare fashion.

 

[Mr_Furious]

and...

 

[bitwise]

Uh, okay. I guess it was just me that "expected" PD0 to be a launch title.

Im sure you aren't, I wasn't one of em though. I was expecting it before xmas though and that will bug me if it isn't there.

i was just asking cause i couldnt remember them announcing the date and you acted like they had..

 

[ToyMachine228]

Some serious bullshit. Looks like I'll be getting a 360 at launch, but no games now.

 

[Tenacious-V]

Well this IS Rare we're talking about... They operate on Rare time, which unfortunately is toooooo fucking slow. It's not surprising, but it is disappointing.

 

[Triumph]

As Drohne said, the notion of a "launch window" is horseshit. It either comes out when the console comes out or not, MS. Which is it?

not

 

[Triumph]

not

Well, that's gonna piss some people off and shoot MS in the foot. Can't say I'm surprised tho- It is Rare we're talking about.

Live by the sword, die by the sword MS. Next Gen buy Konami or something.

 

[Particle Physicist]

i hate this launch window bullshit... its really fucking deceiving.

 

[shantyman]

Thi is just bullshit. What games an we expecy on launch day, Tony Hawk and NFS: MW?

 

[trmas]

Kameo better make launch or I have no reason to pick up my preorder. GRAW, Kameo, and PDZ were the titles I was looking at. Maybe Oblivion, but that's probably launch window as well.
