I got more of a Mirrors Edge vibe than Perfect Dark watching that trailer.
Comment on Perfect Dark - Gameplay Reveal - Xbox Games Showcase 2024
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoIt looks like theyre not only using elements from the N64 original, but elements from Perfect Dark Zero as well, which wasn’t the worst game ever but it wasn’t a masterpiece.
Perfect Dark was always like the woman-led version of James Bond with a high science fiction flavoring. It doesn’t seem to stray too far IMO.

Only from the parkour though. Literally nothing else felt like ME.

Wasn’t the original Perfect Dark hard sci-fi with aliens and spaceships and things? It’s possible I just don’t remember it well. Either way, this doesn’t look like a bad game at all. Just not what I’d have expected.

The alien was Elvis. I hope he comes back. What I miss the most was multiplayer. Playing with four people and bots that you could issue orders to, all the multiplayer modes, the weapons and their second functions (laptop gun torrent), and I think it had multiplayer campaigns. Also all the extra objectives during campaign mode to unlock more missions. Fun times!

The tough part to recreate is that the multiplayer was so fun because it was innovative. It was one of the first games to do stuff like that.
24 years later, we’ve had a lot of games do a lot of stuff as well.
… But I’d still happily enjoy bringing all of it back, even if it was just a cosmetic facelift.

Good news!
Perfect Dark was remastered in 2010 and is part of the Rare Replay you can buy for the XBox. Exactly the same, but with HD graphics.
