I can't really imagine Microsoft not releasing their main titles on PC anymore. We'll see.
In fairness, few games can, but I have hope it'll be the sequel it deserves.
PC is Xbox now. Whole reason they invested in retooling their Dev environment, to support PC and Cloud.
Didn't you know, it's cool to shit on MS, all the cool kids do it.
It actually kind of sounds like it will be like Splinter Cell but in first person according to the developers.
Which actually sounds cool.
CG trailer with zero gameplay. Ok thanks? It's hard to get excited. It's like you guys forgot PDZ also looked cool in trailers...

To be fair, that basically sums up every game shown so far.
They're all shit. Sucks that people still fall for these...
lol
Tell me about it.
It's like users on here suffer from dissociative identity disorder.
As someone who hasn't played PD, is there a reason people are excited for this IP specifically? From my understanding it had a good release on the N64 which is close to unplayable now, and an extremely mediocre release on the 360 and that's it? Not much of a history to generate hype?
Sounds like the studio has a lot of big names which is cool, but it's just another CG trailer. Yet another game from XGS that is years away :(. Gonna have to wait to see actually content.

I love Perfect Dark, it was one of my favourite games on N64 and I still think it does things no other games do. A true Masterpiece
I'm not seeing the essence of that in this promo reveal trailer, but it's early days. The interview comments didn't inspire much confidence either so I'll keep expectations low and we'll see in 2 years

If I never played Perfect Dark, is it still worth getting the version from the Rare collection of Perfect Dark Zero on my Series X? Is it something that holds up well, or did you 'have to be there'?
It really was a trailblazer for console shooters alongside Goldeneye and Halo. People love the world, characters and style closer to that of an immersive sim than a traditional FPS.
It holds up damn well IMO. Just play with the modern Call of Duty or Halo control options and try to aim more from the hip.
no fun allowed!
the cynicism on game forums can be exhausting sometimes. If people are excited, let them be.
On the one hand, "seasonal" could have been some kind of code word for the environmental aspect. Kind of a pun that ended up getting taken literally.
On the other hand, consider this: Maybe they're looking to make a huge, 50-60 hour game. And maybe the plan is release the game in four chapters (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter), and each chapter will take place in a new location and provide a campaign of about 12-15 hours plus some location-specific multiplayer for each season.
This is exactly the kind of thing that fits in really well with Gamepass, and is consistent with what they've been saying about Halo Infinite and how it's going to be an ongoing game. I could defnitely see them approaching something like Perfect Dark and thinking of it as a seven-year project, where they spend four years working up the engine, characters, story, art design, gameplay, etc. to put out the first installment, and then spend the next three years releasing the successive installments.
I'm sitting here looking at my game shelf and I have 5 (FIVE) Third Person Sony exclusives next to each other on it from THIS past generation. (Most of which I enjoyed very much)
I see a total of 1 (ONE) Microsoft First Person shooters on the shelf from this past generation. What year are some of you from? 🤣
I'm also like 10 hours into Control now.
Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games of all time, all you delusional people let us Perfect Dark fans be excited for this and the fact that it's first person, LOL.

The "not quite" was about it being 3rd person. People assumed it was in reference to it not exactly being a PD game

I made a thread for the 20-years anniversary:
Perfect Dark (Rare) was released 20 years ago on the Nintendo 64
This month is the 20th anniversary of Perfect Dark which was released on 22 May 2000 by Rare on the Nintendo 64 (and remastered on Xbox 360 and in Rare Replay). Despite a troubled development (by the end of 1998, half of the team left to form Free Radical Design), the game is one the ten...

PDZ was not as good as the first game (the single-player campaign was bad) but it still got good reviews and was a great multiplayer game in 2005-2006 and had a killer soundtrack in my opinion.
Damn, can this week get any better! First Cyberpunk 2077 finally releases, now Perfect Dark announcement! Come on MS, give me a triple AAA open world Shadowrun game!!!
