You'll never hear me argue that it was a fantastic game, but I had fun with it. Decent launch game.
What got me thinking was, Garnet is still taking shots at it this long after it's been out, so it clearly left a fairly strong, negative impression on him. He's not alone.
So what becomes of the franchise after a case like this? Are people even willing to see the franchise given another chance.
Would we be excited to hear about Rare making another Perfect Dark game? Worried? Upset? Garnet, for example, was peeved that EA would put development resources to a new Army of Two, how would people react if Microsoft took development resources and put them toward a sequel to a game that most people remember as an epic disappointment and misstep?
What if Microsoft, who owns the license, gave it to another developer? Would that cause excitement or an uproar?
What's to be done with a franchise like this after a major misstep and lots of time on the shelf?
