I wonder if anybody will remember Perfect Dark when it finally comes out considering it came out on a bad time on the N64 and well... it didn't let it be that popular. If anything, most people will be asking: "Two? When was the firs one released?"

Two "Perfect Darks" dident they relese one for GBA . Then that would make this three

Actually, its Perfect Dark Zero, I think, unless something has been changed.

I don't see why people are excited about it anymore, at least not to the "its going to be the best game EVER!" kind of fervor around it. Rare has already released several games that have not met expectations (and one that went far below the lowest expectations). Not only that, but they're taking longer and longer between releases. I personally can't help but see Perfect Dark Zero becoming anything more than a letdown.

Just my thoughts...

Rare?

Who's that again?

i'd be willing to bet money it will be a let down.

but some people liked the first, and therefor will be excited about the 2nd. they have a right to be.

i hated the first so prolly thats why i feel as i do. *shrug*

I think that one was even less popular.

Ohhh, I didn't see The_Game's post. Well, I don't feel that trust on this one. First, there was a shorter time frame between NRD's case and Rare's case. Also, they made sure to let it be known -that they helped in GE- as fast as possible. Now this game was made how many years ago? And we don't even know when it's coming out for sure. I think the appeal might wear off.

I see other games which I liked in the past and their newest reincarnation not doing as good as I would like it to be. It has to be something really big. Like Doom, it's coming back but it has this kick-butt graphics that will make it stand out. If rare does something that is just up-to-standards it'll be just another game in the market and I'm no so confident in their talent anymore. I think the outcome will be based on if they can get the feeling back but with so many people missing from the original team... you catch my drift, don't you?

Don't get me wrong, I'll most likely get the game but I'm not certain on if the game will actually be as big as it was.

Just my two cents.

Who said Perfect Dark was coming out on Xbox (1)?

Acebot44 · 03-07-2004, 11:39 PM

Rare.

At one point I thought Rare would be the only reason I would buy an Xbox. Not saying they can't turn it around with a couple of quality releases, but they have to get going. My friend has an Xbox anyway, I can play his...

No kidding. I felt secure in my purchase when I knew I was going to get Banjo Kazooie on Xbox. I thought that was going to be amazing.

...I still haven't gotten it. And they haven't even hinted it yet that much, have they?

Stupid Rare.. Microsoft needs to give them a bitchslap.

I honestly think MS doesn't care about Rare as much as they did back when they first purchased them. Otherwise there would be more pressure on Rare to release a game that sells more and appeals more. I just want Conker and PD but I'd rather wait for PD next gen.
