Perfect Dark to XBLA

[Bond]

From MajorNelson's twitter:

In the booth. Just saw Perfect Dark on XBLA running 1080p. It is coming to XBLA this winter. Free theme coming tomorrow!

This could be fun, but I tried playing Goldeneye like a year ago and it made me feel sick.

Yeah they would need to fix a lot of things in Perfect Dark.
I assume it will have a much more steady framerate, but it will feel rather dated. Hell Perfect Dark Zero feels dated.

I just want a more steady framerate and at least look well enough which I don't see why either won't happen. All the different kinds of bots were quite enjoyable in multiplayer in the old days. Just hoping I can still enjoy it somewhat.

Meh. Perfect Dark sucked, especially compared to Goldeneye.

[Angrist]

Great game, maybe better than GoldenEye 007.

Good for XBox. Too bad the Wii won't see it.

I liked Perfect Dark for the N64. I liked how you could have bots in it, meaning you can play alone, or with more than just 4 people.

I don't know how it would go on XBL though - meaning framerate, how many people would actually play it etc.

Game looks good, and I guess would be too much work, but find it weird that they are keeping the original limit of 4 players online.

The game looks gorgeous. And online mutliplayer?? Awesome!

Too bad the Wii's Virtual Console never improves the games... You're always stuck with bad framerates, low resolutions, etc.

Nice. 1080p and 60 FPS. This could be bearable.

[Fox 6]

Wonder what Elvis will look like hahaha.

[Jonbo298]

Definitely a bearable upgrade so far on the graphics. A little odd they kept it at 4 player but considering they weren't huge maps in the first place (relative to now), it would be chaos with more players but who knows..1080p and silky frame rate is enough to warrant repurchasing the game as it is.

Also, just downloaded the free premium perfect dark theme and I LOVE it. Elvis on the building in the background, in the friends it has his spaceship as one, among other locales in the original. Only awkward thing is the pseudo-light hologram of Joanna in the far right background.

This wins. Too bad I don't have a working 360 anymore.
