I was just wondering about the limitations of the GBA's 3D engine. To cut to the point I wonder if you could make an objectives based shooter i.e. Perfect Dark cause then it would surely be <--insert word of extreme amazement-->. It would be like PD 2 with only a couple of weapons and levels but of course with multlplayer and co-op and counter-op. The levels would probably have to be flat so the GBA could handle everything else i.e. the AI but wouldn't it be amazing sitting in a train getting exasperated that you can't shoot Grimshaw although you can fill him with knifes and kill him in one level and feeling totally bewildered when you realise you're on the wrong train. But is it possible???
I think it will happen, but Rareware aren't the type of people to rush out a new type of game untill others have tried, ( and possibly failed ) because they like to get things just right, to make sure the game is as near perfect as is technologically possible, so we probably won't see a First person shooter from Rareware on the GBA for at least a year or two! but here's hoping that it will happen...
