NEW Perfect Dark Zero pics!

"Any publicity is good publicity"? I'm not so sure. I mean, when the publicity was as bad as the 'Wall Guy' stuff was... that's not good. People knew PD0 was coming sometime, they didn't really need to be reminded unless there was something worthwhile... that was not good enough.

But you can't deny the controversey, and thus drawing attention to itself, it caused. One camp of veteran Rare gamers who knew without a doubt it would shape up to be visually stunning, and then the naysayers which I never fully understood their position as Microsoft made it very clear that is was an early build. Besides, the MTV wasn't just about Wall Guy, it was for the Xbox 360. It created awareness and the Xbox 360 will have benefited from it, and when the final Perfect Dark Zero is shown all those first impressions will be for naught. There were those who said wait and see, and others who declared it a disaster. The latter group is going to look pretty foolish.

I love Rare, so it created nothing but excitement for me. It was good enough then, and it's just gotten better since.

OB1 quit in May or so... you've been gone a while.

Geez, that time flew by. It looks like it happened right after I stopped checking in so often. I was really busy with work and summer courses.

I found the the 'my two cents' thread and I am amazed how big a deal he made of such a non-issue.
