....it's almost enough to make me forget about the cancellation of Goldeneye. Almost. :)


The gfx have been beefed up considerably. :love::love:

Yeah it should be grand. Pity about goldeneye but those licensing issue will never be sorted out. It'll be good to play Perfect Dark with a smooth frame rate though :P

Can not wait for this to release. :D Perfect Dark is one of my favorite games for the N64, and one of my favorite console shooters ever.

Playing a beefed up version... awesome.

I never played this game before. Never owned a N64 (always hated the controller) so it will be interesting to try out the demo when its released.

I hope they make the alien less annoying. His taunts started getting recycling within the first 2 minutes.

I hear you. I hated the controller too. I did play it though since my friend had it.

Well, this is rather awesome! :)

Kinda bittersweet for Microsoft I would imagine however, the first AAA game Rare managed to release for their console is also one that came out nine years and two console generations ago.. for a competitor ;)

Well, they weren't a competitor back then. :p

Probably some licensing issues they had to iron out.

Hey! Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie are already out on Arcade!

The sentiment of your point remains true however :P I like new Rare games but they're nothing on N64 Rare.

Steady 60 fps? Online Multiplay? Updated textures?

Yes. Insta-buy as soon as they release this. One of the best games ever made for consoles.

Should be interesting to see if they carry over any of the unused textures/sounds from the Goldeneye remake. From what I remember half the unlockables in Perfect Dark were Goldeneye related, and the multiplayer maps were just reskinned versions of Facility, Temple etc…
