I was a big fan of the original N64 game, and Zero was the only game I had at launch for the 360 but it was not very good imo. I am hopeful this game turns out well and ends up being something worth playing, but I really would've preferred they used the creation of a new studio as an opportunity to create new IP along with it rather than doing what they did with the Coalition (formerly Black Tusk Studios) and shackling them with an existing IP, especially another FPS...Perfect Dark is probably in my top 10 faves all time. Never played Zero but it looked mediocre. Definitely excited to see what this looks like.
Based on a lot of the talent they hired in the early days it seemed like they might've been making a 3rd person action game since that was what a lot of the folks starting there had worked on. That got me excited as I feel that's a genre Xbox is quite lacking in, then they revealed it was Perfect Dark and that it'd remain a FPS and that excitement was significantly reduced.
