Perfect Dark XBLA Going Online

Examiner: "During E3 it was revealed that Perfect Dark would be making way to the Xbox Live Arcade. Like most XBLA titles, the game will be getting upgrades in the graphics department and will be adding in achievements. However, it looks like a little more will be added to this game than previous titles."

I loved this game on the N64 and now I can play it online. This might be the first XBLA game I've ever bought in the 3 years I've owned the 360. Can't wait

green6196d ago (Edited 6196d ago )

Perfect Dark is a must buy but you should also checkout the upcoming Shadow Complex.The game looks very cool.

MattyF6196d ago

Online multiplayer with this game makes it even more golden.

greyfox2356196d ago

shadow complex looks like metroid on the gba, which is VERY good :)

FamilyGuy6196d ago

looks like "this gen" Contra so yeah, it should do just fine, especially being a XBLA title and as such having a lower cost than full/retail games.

Perfect Dark online? I wonder if this will start a trend...

kewlkat0076196d ago

except in a 2D/3D kind of way.....

It looks serious fun...hopefully co-op...

Cheeseknight286196d ago

First XBLA arcade game? You mean you never bought...

Geometry Wars? (2)?
Castle Crashers?
Bionic Commando?
Penny Arcade?
Pac-Man Championship Edition?
Rez HD?
N+?
Braid?

There are a lot of gems out there, you should download arcade games more often.

iDystopia6196d ago

Perfect Dark with co-op and competitive online = Pwnage

ChrisGTR16196d ago

...wtf is wrong with you OP. you mean to tell me you never downloaded braid, castle crashers, geometry wars, duke nukem 3d? i cant really think of any others but seriously now, perfect dark isnt better than those.

JokesOnYou6196d ago

One my old favorites. Hope they do more of this.

JOY

nice i ll b getting this when it comes out

Goldenarmz6196d ago

lets get Goldeneye and the old wrestling games and ill be a happy camper.

AAACE56196d ago

I don't know if you played this game before, but Perfect Dark pretty much was Goldeneye 2!

They used the same gamelpay and all but changed the characters and story. Added bots so you could have 16 player multiplayer battles. Cool sh*t like a sniper rifle that could shoot through walls and such.

Good lord! It this game gets the graphics smoothed out and they can get it running at 60 Fps consistantly... it will be a slice of heaven!

The only thing that would make it a better release is if it was free!

Keep your fingers crossed!

Unicron6196d ago

But why? This game was MADE for having 3 friends over and doing all night splitscreen parties.

Though I'm way, way anxious to see the visual updates.

The Perfect Dark campaign for N64 is being rebuilt as a VR game

The nostalgia for 64-bit gaming has taken a significant technological leap with the arrival of Perfect Dark VR on Meta Quest. This isn't just a simple workaround to make the emulator look bigger; it's a standalone port that brings Joanna Dark's missions directly into your VR headset.

I’m super excited for this. I hope it can be finished at some point.

EternalCynic103d ago

"I have a headache. And with a head this big, that's no joke." - me after playing this for 30 minutes

Agent75102d ago

It wasn't too good on the Nintendo 64 all those years back. Hyped as GoldenEye 2, it didn't even come close. On the Xbox 360, it wasn't too good either. No more Perfect Dark games please.

I remember getting this at launch on the Nintendo 64 and even though it looked like GoldenEye, it wasn't too good to play. Plain boring if you ask me. To this day, I still don't understand the hype.

Snookies12141d ago

Absolutely wild take. Perfect Dark was like GoldenEye evolved.

jjb1981141d ago

I agree. It improved the gameplay in a lot of ways. Who doesn't like a laptop gun?

Nebaku141d ago

It's literally built on the GoldenEye engine.

You're going to have to explain how you think GoldenEye feels good to play, but Perfect Dark doesn't.

Notellin141d ago

Man there is no way in the world that two real people agree with what you just said. This is one of the worst opinions I've ever seen on N4G.

Take-Two talks ‘to save Xbox’s Perfect Dark reboot’ reportedly collapsed

Take-Two was reportedly in discussions to save Xbox’s canceled Perfect Dark reboot, but negotiations recently collapsed over details of a potential deal.

So, unsolved questions about the long-term ownership of the IP were responsible for the deal to collapse.

Interesting.

CantThinkOfAUsername263d ago

- Microsoft tells the studios developing the game they can look for funding elsewhere
- The studios' heads spend two months talking to different parties till they land a deal with Take-Two to fund and publish the game
- Take-Two gets in talk with Microsoft about the franchise
- Microsoft says, "Nah, you either fund and publish OUR game for us, or we'd shelf it and let the IP rot forever"
.
.
.
- Profit?

franwex263d ago

I doubt Microsoft will do anything with this IP anymore. It’s basically a late stage n64 game made by rare when they were at their height. It was good for n64 standards. The 360 game was kinda meh. Now it will probably be shelfed forever.

jimtendo1983263d ago

Kinda meh???? It was absolute garbage

Knightofelemia263d ago

Hmm have someone else make a game on your franchise and make money. Or just have an unused IP sit in limbo collect dust and not make money. Or make a little bit of money releasing the game in a collection. Microsoft should be selling off some of the older IP's to people who will do something with them.

Sciurus_vulgaris263d ago

Companies don’t generally readily sell off IPs. MS would have likely only granted Take two a license. Even when Microsoft sold Tango Games, they kept most of the IPs, and did not fully sell off the Hi-Fi Rush IP to Krafton.

Tacoboto262d ago

The Hi-Fi Rush IP did get fully sold to Krafton, though

Sciurus_vulgaris262d ago

No, in Kraftons statements they refer to “rights to” the IP not “ownership of” of Hi-Fi Rush.
