CC: When the Nintendo Wii was released, many third-party developers found it difficult to make games for the console. But Project Natal won't be like that, according to Microsoft's Robbie Bach.
With the Perfect Dark reboot set to launch later this year, it's time to look back at Perfect Dark Zero, nearly 20 years later.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
Yea, true. If the game is done well enough on Natal it will succeed and make millions.
I'm interested in seeing if they can make some neat adventure games with Natal. Maybe not action filled games, but puzzle-filled interactive games.
I could see old school sierra games take advantage of Natal. I loved solving the puzzles in these games. Maybe with that style of pacing, maybe from a first person point of view, it'd make a nice change from the twitch gaming that seems to plague consoles nowadays.
Or perhaps a Fatal Frame type game. I'd love to see a horror game build for Natal.
Even if Microsoft wants third-parties to make money, that's easier said than done.
lol! and here i thought Natal is MS attempt at rebranding the x360 as a wii alternative.
Whats with the wii hate lately from MS?. Before this gen started MS was heavily praising the wii and recomeneded the wii to compliment the x360.
"MS: Natal is about third-party publishers making money" LMAO!!.
I personally want to stick with using a pad and buttons. But thats just me.
