Yeah.

It's also five years older. And you know what, Halo really isn't that much different; aside from the different body parts taking different amounts of damage and vehicles that have been slowly implemented over the years, they're pretty much identical in every other FPS aspect.

The main guys behind Perfect Dark and Goldeneye have all left to join Free Radical and Zoonami. I wouldn't hold my breath for Perfect Dark zero if I was you. I'd love them to pull and all stops and make a superb game, but I just can't see it happening.

We never know - either of them may pull something out of the bag. Deus Ex 2 and Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy look fairly innovative too.

As long as Rare keep the engine. i don't care what they put over it. They could have care bears shooting each other and it would still have the best balance of gameplay and realism.

It is true Rare are now about 10 times as big as they were when they started making games for the N64. But I think the best talent will be on PD. PD is their flagship product. Although they won't admit it.

Technically the way Rare are heading I don't trust them. It will be an added bonus with Perfect Dark 2 but with Halo 2, Half Life 2, Doom 3 and Deus EX 2 it will have to be something VERY VERY special to contend with the big FPS. When I see more of the game I will comment further. Until then I am keeping my lips sealed.

*Seals lips with glue*

yes, but any game could become poor just before release.

I think PD is a labor of love for Rare. Since it is totally their licence and they have made the best FPS engine to run it.

*gets a little teary eyed about how good PD actually is*

IT CANNOT BE AWFUL! NO, I WON"T BELIEVE IT!

:)

Depends on what Rare do with it. So far apart from a new character shots no one knows anything about the game. As far as we know it could end up as the biggest load of rubbish ever made. The chances are very slim but without information no one knows.

Mark my words: Perfect Dark 2.

I thought Serious Sam was kind of original in it's own quirky way.

If you want originality in a pure FPS game then you will be waiting a lot longer than Half Life 2 and Halo 2.

Well that's just my opinion. I didn't expect you to agree.
