This new PD isn't made by Rare though but by The Initiative which has a lot of talented veterans.

Could end up being really interesting.

Hopefully they release it as a full game and not take the Killer Instinct approach

One of the few franchises that I was sad to see going to MS.

I am really excited to see what this turns out to be. Hopefully MS can do it justice.

Honestly, the easiest( and the path they should take) path should be to mirror the first game vision and design.

The game is first person. 

We don’t talk about Perfect Dark 0 haha. 

N64 game should be where they are basing the game on: Slow paced, stealth, gadgets for infiltration. Mysterious story with twists that unfolds as game progresses. Mixed with small scale firefights with unique weaponry. The iconic Laptop gun comes to mind. They would be fools not to include that. 

They can still keep the spirit of the franchise alive, making the levels objective based, being really sci fi with aliens and stuff. Alot of spy stuff, etc.

No of course not, but it means i was very hyped for PD0, it was mediocre, therefore its hard for me to get hyped esp with a bullshit trailer like that haha. Also all this AAAA nonsense makes me think we going to get a destiny/watchdog situation.

We don't talk about the last PD game (Closes door)

Just kidding, it wasn't the best game, looked great but that's about it. Rare dropped the ball with it, it was a far cry from its N64 game. Its what makes it exciting knowing the IP is in the hands of industry veterans rather than Rare themselves. It needs good treatment and i believe it will. The developers clearly chose this IP for a reason. Fingers crossed they see the potential with its universe.

So was God of War Ascension, but look how God of War 4 turned out.

Bottom line is this, Perfect Dark coming back is pure nostalgia for anyone who played the first.  For younger gamers, this is essentially a new IP since this seems like it could be a reboot.  That said, all the people complaining about the new studio not getting a new IP put of the gate just seems like downplay to me.  This is literally a win for everyone involved, provided it is a good game.

At the end of the day, it will be the gameplay that sells it when it is shown off.  Many people were skeptical of God of War 4 when it was announced, because God of War had gotten stale and people felt it was done.  But we were wrong about that, and we got a fantastic revamped game that put life back into the IP.

Perfect Dark is a much older IP, but I expect the same thing to happen here.  There is a lot of potential and I don't see how anyone can try to downplay it without just hating for the sake of hating.  People are excited about the potential that we have here, and to see what this new studio can do.

So in short, what happened with the last PD game from a different studio is 100% irrelevant to what people are actually excited about.
