Rumour: The unannounced project at The Initiative runs on Unreal Engine 4 and features "various weapons, gadgets, and a camera surveillance system"

It's been rumored for a while now that The Initiative is working on a Perfect Dark revival, yes.

I knew about PD, but I thought the Initiative were making a new ip.
Certainly sounds like something very similar to Perfect Dark, at least.
I guess the CamSpy could be making a return?

CamSpy
The CamSpy is a small surveillance device created by the Carrington Institute, which appeared in Perfect Dark. It only appeared in DataDyne Research: Investigation and G5 Building missions. Its main purpose is to spy and record audio and video evidence, though it can also take pictures. It can...
More MGS/Splinter Cell like in Cyberpunk vibe.

Rare only makes new IP's from now on. And revisits old IP's with external studios.
Full list of Initiative's new talents. Minus Naughty Dog's Sylvia Chambers
This is just a small list of the type of talent TI has. They have a lot of talent from some of the most acclaimed third person action games.
Rare doesn't really touch their old IP anymore. The new battletoads is being made by another studio with Rare doing a little supervision. Same with Killer Instinct as well.
I would assume it would be the same with this if not any supervision at all tbh since I doubt a lot of the old Perfect Dark team is still at Rare.
I would be a little sad if it's Perfect Dark tho, wanted a new IP tbh.
My point still stands, why would Microsoft use the new studio and get the top talents from the gaming industry just to make a reboot or sequel to Perfect Dark? All that talent for a game that's at least 20 years old or so? Clearly the common sense has flown by on this thread.
Who cares, we need new IP, there's no reason to use a new studio for an old game. Clearly that's not Microsoft's vision.

Or its common sense the studio decided themself they wanted to make it. As Xbox studios are free to dip in the IP's.
I'm gonna get all wet if Perfect Dark returns and it does it on a big way.
I have to agree. The Initiative and The Coalition sound so weird. Like an executive presidential order or something.
I mean I agree with you, just feels like there so much smoke around a Perfect Dark reboot that I think that might be the case.
This logic makes no sense. Just because a new studio is working on a reboot of perfect dark doesn't mean it's limited by the series past or the name. It could literally be one of the most ambitious games ever for all we know, it's not being limited by anything.
There is plenty of reasons why, the biggest one being less risk.
or maybe the studio decided by themselves that they wanted to make a new perfect dark
I imagine an Uncharted type game in terms of scale but as a spy game. Maybe I'm too ambitious but they have so much talent.
New IP isn't inherently better than old IP. If the studio is passionate about the IP, then I don't see the problem here.
Besides, it's such an old IP that they have a lot of room to switch things up.
Or the other common sense would be that if a new studio makes a game it would be something totally different not something that's old. It's common sense and if you know how to read between the lines. You'll figure out that the studio is being used for a new game hence the reason why Microsoft hired all these top developers especially from Sony.
You must have thrown a fit when Konami announced Metal Gear Solid.

I mean, people get hype from old stuff coming back, just look at the Silent Hill rumors.
Ah yes, let's pretend as if Perfect Dark didn't have these things so many years ago.
