Rare Surpises

If funny you guys got Xbox for Perfect Dark... because Perfect Dark is one of the top 3 reasons I got my cube. Alongside a new Zelda (which wasn't what was expected) and the future of THQ/Aki wrestling games (which didn't happen).

But anyway, I feel your pain on that subject.

"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?"

I don't understand what you are trying to say... maybe you should re-word it.

Well, what I was trying to say there is that... I don't feel so confident that it'll work that way this time. There has been a bigger lapse of time between Golden Eye (or PD) to now than there was from GE to Time Splitters. NRD took advantage of the reputation they had made in people's mind while it was still fresh (Plus it was a first generation PS2 game so it was bound to get attention). I think that reputation will most likely fade. By the time they finally get the game out, how much impact will that fact have one people's mind? Now the biggest name in the FPS genre is Halo and well... saying they made Golden Eye will not have THAT much effect anymore. And the rest of my last post really explains the rest of my reasons. I hope I was clear this time. =\
