  While I agree with you in principle, they didn’t buy the Initiative. It was a studio they founded that hasn’t shipped a single game.

  Perfect Dark looked cool though, this is a major bummer.

    They bought the Perfect Dark IP though. That’s probably just going to languish now.

      To be fair to MS, they bought that with Rare a long time ago, and they have put out a perfect dark game since then.

        That game was not good, but I sure did have fun as a teen fucking around with the multiplayer. Those early 360 games were weird

    Thanks for the correction. I was also looking forward to Perfect Dark. Been a big fan since the original on N64, hence the username.

  Good lord I hope Nightdive stays intact long enough to make a Dark Forces 2 Remaster. Jerec needs to show the new kids how an Inquisitor does things.
