Microsoft pulling stops for Perfect Dark 2?

Yess. The original perfect dark game was the 2nd bestest game ever :)

SCREW PERFECT DARK! I WANNA SEE KILLER INSTINCT 3

If we would only be so lucky. I would just die for a proper KI3. But you'd need rareware to make it proper. Id still drop $60.00 in a heartbeat tho no mater who made it. To dish out some more rolling thunder. C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

aim sensitivity like Halo, FEAR , or CoD PLEASE.

there was a glitch in perfect dark that i did were this body just kept bouncing it was funny

god!!! i am counting down the days for this game to come out...pd0 was absolute skill and harmony. reminded me of the counterstrike days...CANT WAIT FOR A SEQUEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RARE FREAKIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me just say this....PERFECT DARK ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! but "Morality System"?! WTF?

Dude kinglink2 are you on crack or something? Rare a 1 hit wonder? Ever heard of Conker, Banjo-Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64 and country, or Jetpack? Cause Rare is no 1 hit wonder

What Rare should do is breakoff from Microsoft and make PD2 on the Wii. Rare's biggest mistake was selling their souls to Microsoft, and lets be honest, who would want to have Viva Pinata be their most successful game in the post-Nintendo era.

lol

to bad all the good people at rare left before microsoft bought it.

If they want a safe bet, they should make a sequal to Conker's Bad Fur Day.

What about releasing the original on Xbox LIVE Arcade? And maybe even Goldeneye 007 with online modes :):)

I just hope Rare can get back on track and develop as good a game as the first one. It will be nice to see where they take the story after the events of the first game, though. Personally, I'm a little apprehensive with what happened to PDZ and Kameo. I like those games, but they are not as good as they should have been.

"Perfect Dark 2's "morality system," in which "choices are going to have a huge impact on the gameplay, giving players a variety [of] branches in the storyline itself." The blog also says that Rare's engine will feature a fully interactive environment, and that "there are probably going to be no cutscenes in the entire game." Wait a second, didn't Peter Molyneux say EXACTLY the same thing about fable 2?

I though PDZ was deadly. I hope 2 will be just as good. I never played the orignal so im not going to fully get the story, but I'll still get it.

Rare needs to make a Killer Instinct HD

The world will be happy when Rare is back again with Nintendo, Rare's good one were with Nintendo, and anyone can tell nothing about it. Microsoft hope that having Rare with then, could be the essence they need to be well in the market, because the good games that Rare "supposedly" will make... I only wish that the misunderstandings between Nintendo and Rare were set, because if they were like before, We certainly have now very good games no doubt, and of course having back the old good ones.

Perfect Dark zero gameplay action just wasn'tt fun. They need to go back to it's roots.

2 complaints: 1)all fps!?!!? id prefer 3rd person w/ blades!??! i say uc3 would be nicer 2)morality is always fun if you're good/bad. never anything for being neutral.

well maybe they can get it right this time I mean the original on the N64 rocked so I say give them another chance

I did not like the frist one.

Just let that game go, every game put out from rare since then been down hill

I'm w/ Proman84 on this one. It would only be natural, I guess, for MS to do another PD. From what I've read from articles here, MS is basically done w/ Halo, eventhough they're going to continue milking the franchise for all it's worth, which really isn't a bad thing, provided the games rock. With this in mind, I think some fans on the gameguru website have come to speculate that MS will now try to replace Halo w/ Perfect Dark in it's place, based on the knowledge that PDZ became a Platinum Hit for the 360. But, MS may indeed, do such a move.

"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING COMBO!" Haha, that was always the best one. I used to stop at ten or eleven hits (whatever it was) just so I could hear that voice.

Cool! PDZ was great, and I'll expect the same in PD2!

PD 64 was supposed to be the sequel to goldeneye, so I dunno if you'll ever see Perfect Dark attain that same level of brilliance. I personally didn't like PDZ that much, I guess if they spent a good portion of time rethinking the style of the series for PD2, it could be okay.

No perfect dark 2 is perfectly fine with me.

Perfect Dark 2 will be a great Xbox 360 game that shows what the hardware is truly capable of doing at its best!!! We need to remember, even though Perfect Dark Zero ended up being a highly rated award winning game that was a best-seller, the developers at Rare still had some difficult obstacles to overcome. Pefect Dark Zero was originally supposed to be released for the Gamecube when Rare was owned by Nintendo. Perfect Dark Zero was then supposed to be released for the original Xbox when Microsoft purchased Rare. Microsoft then told Rare that they wanted Perfect Dark Zero released as a launch game for the Xbox 360. Microsoft then gave Rare unfinished "Pre-Alpha" Development Kits to develop Perfect Dark Zero on the Xbox 360. The Pre-Alpha Development Kits gave developers access to only One-Sixth of the General Purpose CPU power, because only one of the six CPU Threads could be accessed by the development kits and the developers. Games like Halo 3, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Forza Motorsport 2, John Madden NFL Football 2008 (on the Xbox 360) and so many others have incredible graphics that are far superior to Perfect Dark Zero and other first-generation Xbox 360 games. The main reason for this is because of the superior Development Kits that were used, which gave developers 100% access to Xbox 360 CPU Power. Rare is now 100% free to start making a new Perfect Dark game from the ground up exclusively for the Xbox 360. This means the Xbox 360 hardware will be fully optimized in whatever ways developers at Rare want. Viva Piniata is a game developed by Rare, and targeted towards younger games. Viva Piniata is a highly rated game that has won many AWARDS for "Original Gameplay." Perfect Dark 2 is going to be a TRUE sequel that takes advantage of the Xbox 360 hardware, while simultaneously showing the skill of Rare developers who create Award-Winning gameplay! Perfect Dark 2 is a game I'm looking forward to a lot, because it will give Rare the freedom to do create a game from start to finish for the Xbox 360 in ways that use the hardware "perfectly." :) Perfect Dark 2 really has me excited...and so does the thought of a new Killer Instinct game. Heck, I would be happy to see a Killer Instinct game on Xbox Live. Preferably a game that combines the characters and backgrounds of the first two Killer Instict games.

cool

Well at least they got one thing right. Perfect Dark 64 deserves a sequel not Perfect Dark Zero which was a complete let down. However I'm sad to see that they are moving away from the Goldeneye formula even more since there haven't really been any game like it since....well....Perfect Dark. Still love Rare and I hope they get it right with PD2 and B&T even though I would like to see them perhaps develop a new conker game or even a Battle Toad game for the XBL.

I completely agree with LivingDeadNinja. So many old IPs are being revived these days. Its about time we see a new KI.

Thats good... PDZ was horrible

I bet calling everything the biggest thing since "Halo 3" is going to become the next biggest marketing thing now.

PD2 would need the magic of PD64, not be more like PDZ. Even though PDZ is a good game, it's nowhere near as good as PD64. I'd rather see Killer Instinct 3 right now.

Killer Instinct 3 would be a better title to bring back for this genereation. your right!! it was good on SNES imagine what they can do with todays high powered systems!!

Hopefully it'll be more N64 PD than 360 PDZ... improve the single-player, but most of all, include all the multiplayer shenanigans from the N64 version! Ranked bots, star ratings, different tasks, etc...

love the Perfect Dark series...can't wait to get my hands on this, but I do agree we need some Killer Instinct this generation.

That sounds cool !

FalconerX is you would pull your head out of your a**, you would see he only mentioned THE GAME, nothing else, also the show didn't spawn off a cartoon or anything like that... I really wish you'd stop that and just read instead of reading what you want to read, then bashing people for it

perfect dark was more like somewhat ok, but not really good, and even sometimes fun dark, but if they made a second (third?) one maybe they could learn from their mistakes and release game once its finished this time...

In respect to each of the game's time, the original Perfect Dark on the N64 surpassed everything Halo had to offer. In fairness I have played a huge library of FPS on consoles for the pass 10 years and nothing gave me a greater sense of satisfaction than Perfect Dark. It had to be said, it was the greatest FPS on a console of all time. That being said, when the Xbox 360 launched, Pefect Dark Zero was a must get. To many people and including myself, it is was a disappointment, a major disappointment. There was no possibility that you could compare PD: Zero with the Original PD as the difference in quality was so far apart. I honestly doubt PD 2 will be as good as the original PD. I dont think it will even get close to it. That being said, fingers crossed.

I'd quite enjoy a PD2

"Microsoft's next big push will be for Rare's Perfect Dark 2"? There was some advertising behind PDZ. Unfortunately though, whoever came up with the campaign opted to go the viral marketing route, that for better or otherwise was all the rage at the time. Being merely passable in implementation and reach, its little surprise its not been remembered (messages on phones - yours and hers!) There were also soft drink promotions, and even region-specific RL ads... If there is going to be a new Perfect Dark, Rare simply MUST concentrate on their lead character more. Sure, in PDZ there was the killing of Jack, her father, to motivate her, at one point in the story. But that was it for the story, basically, and further development didn't happen. We should be able to interact with the environment, rather than just walking through locations shooting everything. Some online tie-in to create a world of PD would be good. We can't all be Joanna Dark, but perhaps we could work with her, against the Datadyne threat? PD2 must stand out. It can't just be another shooter, or it'll fall flat on its face. Make us feel like we're playing as Joanna, and we'll be better immersed into the game.

damn son PFD2 is gonna b crazy son . i member when it came out everybody who owned a 360 had it and on live it was ridiculous with this game . the graphics was a if thing a little too shiny but game play was great . will Banjo Kazooie be exclusive to 360 ??

I don't know why but I just don't like this game.

For a launch title, Perfect Dark was alright. There were a bunch of things that bother me. Mostly that every single texture in the game is either too dark, too shiny, or glowing. Personally I don't understand why people thought it was so great. Besides that, I'm still waiting on JetForce Gemini 2!

I will never buy another rare game until KI3. EVER!!!!!
