![]() I just think we're going to need to be a little patient for the big guns to release, beyond the ones we already know a general release timeframe for, like Halo Infinite and MS Flight Simulator. I think they're going to struggle to space these games out enough to give them their own time to shine on the market but I guess thats a good problem to have. I'm excited but it doesn't seem like a game we'll see before 2022 which seems to be the case with most of the studios Microsoft has acquired. Gadgets were a focus in the original game and I don't expect that to change. You could see how you'd be able to traverse up the outside of the building to stealthy enter one of the higher floors. ![]() The traversal will come in the form of infiltrating locations like the Data Dyne building we see in the trailer. Given the talent they've acquired I'm expecting a big budget first person action adventure game with a focus on traversal and gadgets and a more serious story than the original. It was never something Microsoft or the Initiative said but the gaming media ran with it and started hying that aspect up. The AAAA talk initially came from a 3rd party recruitment pitch to entice talent to the New Initiative studio. So, my question for you guys is, is Perfect Dark really going to “fill this need”? Is it going to be an actual AAAA title like it was advertised, whatever that means? Can I get my hopes up to play an exclusive with the same - or more - weight as the top notch exclusive PS games? How do you think this is going to play out? I’m confident that with the series of acquisitions by Microsoft (specially Bethesda), we’re going to see this difference getting smaller, and MS will probably even surpass Sony on AAA exclusives this gen. Seeing The Game Awards last night (yes, i know, shouldn’t take much of that into account) and TLOU2, Ghost of Tsushima and Spiderman constantly popping up, made me feel that those like me who only have an Xbox console, even with the amazing Game Pass, xCloud, Backwards Compatibility (reasons that make me never want to leave Xbox), MS Rewards etc., missed out on great games this year. The game stars spy Joanna Dark and offers a mix of traditional first-person shooter gameplay with stealth, too. Which was slightly odd because Crystal Dynamics has been going through their own “phase” this year as well in terms of the IP that they held.I was eager to see what game The Initiative had under development, and even though I wanted a new IP, it seems, from the fans feedback (since I only happen to vaguely hear of it), that Perfect Dark is an awesome project and a great choice.Īs “an honest Xbox fan” (what a line), I’ve been solely playing on Microsoft consoles since 2011, and despite of having Gears, Forza and just recently Halo franchises as some of my favorite games, I recognize we lack the number of AAAs titles that Sony has, those who actually can make someone buy a console just to play them (hell, I almost bought the PS3 just for TLOU). Perfect Dark, originally from Rare, was an N64 title that got a follow-up on Xbox 360 as a launch title for Microsoft's second console. Then, to make matters even more confusing, it was revealed that Crystal Dynamics was going to be helping out with the game as well. But then, things got odd when it was revealed that despite The Initiative being comprised of industry veterans, 50% of their staff was cut earlier this year, which is NOT a good thing when you’re trying to convince people that you’re going to “be the one to bring back this series!” Which is not odd in and of itself, but then the title was labeled as a “AAAA” game, which is obviously one letter more than the typical “AAA” title which is put upon the highest-quality of games. Because the team behind this reboot/return was going to be a new group called The Initiative. You see, the game was announced back in 2020, but even during its announcement things were a bit curious. Or at least, that’s what many are hoping. Such as with the Perfect Dark series by Rare.

As such, it’s always a good thing when one of these titles get their due and get a reboot/return. Either way you look at it though, it was a crime that they ended the way they did. party studio The Initiative, and has been described as a AAAA game. Or sometimes they stopped at a certain number because “no new ideas were had”. Perfect Dark is a series of First-Person Shooter video games originally developed. Sometimes they folded because the developer went under. Sometimes they folded because there “wasn’t enough interest” in the games. The world of video games is full of titles that should have been longer in terms of their franchise amounts than we got.
