Well, you guys are aware that the guys who made Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on the N64 are now no longer part of Rare.
Those guys split from Rare and formed Free Radical - they now make the Timesplitters games. Timesplitters are really the sequels to Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Perfect Dark Zero could be monumentally crappy because of this.
Also, EA have apparently drafted Free Radical to make the next Bond game, after the latest fake Goldeneye: Rogue Agent game stunk like a dog in a hot car. It's pretty obvious EA know how shit Bond has become, so they're getting the original Goldeneye boys back onto the license.
Rare, on the other hand, have lost it. They don't have the guys from Free Radical anymore, so that means we'll never know how good their FPS are until Pefect Dark Zero comes out. Apart from that, they've made Grabbed By The Ghoulies, which was crap, and a remake of Conkers Bad Fur Day - great but it's still a remake. They need to get into gear.
True. But i still dont think people moving are going to automatically make the company crap. This sort of thing happens in most industries and usually the company doesnt fold, or lose respect. They did lose guys but who say's that the people they replaced the are better. But one thing is that Nintendo made a great choice and not renewing Rare's contract. Even if it was an public outcry.
Well i never Perfect Dark for N64,(or i jsut dont remeber it) but in the new gameinformer says that the produnction might not be going real good, because they only showed a little of it at E3, when people were expecting a lot. But of what they know so far, there is this thing where you can see through walls. And in online they can be up to 50 players!!! Thats crazy. And there is Jetpacks and Motorcycles. There is also a rumor that in an XBL function, another player can be an enemy in somebody elsed single-player campaign! Thats awesome. Hopefully they do it right cause it sounds pretty cool. Its supposed to come to the 360 at it launch.
