Not to throw cold water on your dreams, but remember that Rare has only put out one FPS since being bought out by M$, and many of the original team members that worked on GE and PD for N64 had already left to form Free Radical (best known for Timesplitters, and they were initially working on SW: Battlefront III before the project got canned). And that one FPS that Rare has put out since was the mediocre (even for a launch title) PD Zero. So unless they bring in some serious talent that has experience working on some of the top FPS titles of this past gen, I'm not holding my breath for this rumored FPS to be a killer app. |
I know. But even the mediocre Perfect Dark Zero is an excellent title in my opinion (which I'm still regularly playing). I'm looking at the bright side. The mediocre rating should encourage them to put more efforts into their next FPS (which may be Perfect Dark or whatever). Hopefully, some of the AAA-experienced guys that they are looking for will be working on this project. They shouldn't need previous experiences with Perfect Dark to make a high quality title; the theme and setting is very basic, and so is pretty much everything that made GE and PD timeless. I think they have a similar chance to even improve the series just like how SEGA did with F-zero.
But then again, I'm staying positive.
