You really only need to know a few things about Perfect Dark to be hyped for the idea of a reboot. I've never played the originals and I'm hyped for the reboot:
-Both OG and prequel Joanna Dark are hot af, so I'm sure reboot Joanna will be as well
-The originals were set in the 2020's, a bit too close to modern day, so they'll likely skip the setting forward a few decades for the reboot, which brings it straight into Cyberpunk territory. If you you like Cyberpunk franchises like Cyberpunk 2020/2077, Deus Ex, Bladerunner, and Alita, you'd best get hyped for this Perfect Dark reboot.
-The Perfect Dark reboot is most likely not a shooter like the originals. Microsoft's Ken Lobb was quoted quite several years back saying that it doesn't make much sense for MS to release a new Perfect Dark as a shooter when they already have 2 popular shooters franchises, Halo and Gears. He said it would make more sense to reboot the series as something more story driven, perhaps action-adventure or stealth.
-The Initiative has been hiring top notch devs from story driven 3rd person action-adventure studios like Rockstar, Crystal Dynamics, Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerilla Games, and Sony Santa Monica. The studio head was responsible for rebooting Tomb Raider, another 5th gen series with a female protagonist, as story driven action-adventure stealth.
