I expect it to suck. Perfect Dark was great for the gameplay, not the characters or story. And knowing MS it will probably just be the PD characters/story shoehorned into some boring online multiplayer focused shooter.

Nostalgia goggles? PD's gameplay was never great. The options in 2000 were just very limited.

The push for online focused games isn't really a thing anymore. MS has even published/funded numerous games without online play. I imagine a PD reboot would have some online mode, but even in the original game had a multiplayer focus.

The gameplay was excellent back in the day, much like Goldeneye gameplay was back in the day, but is pretty much bad if you compare to today standard.There are some thing that dont age well, and well, Goldeneye and PD were the pioneers in the FPS genre, at least in the console space.
