For several years now we have witnessed the trend, by many companies within the videogame industry, to combine new titles and series with the re-editions of classic games, with improved graphics or remade from scratch while maintaining all the features of the version. original. Titles like Crash N. Sane Trilogy o DOOM are examples of games that, after having achieved a resounding success several years ago, have recently returned to the crest of the wave thanks to the release of remakes that have revived the formula that has decreed their success in the past, combining it with technologies and gaming platforms currently on the market. According to what the journalist said Jeff Grubb, another exponent of these remakes could be Perfect Dark, title released in 2000 by the software house Rare su Nintendo 64 and published in 2010 on Xbox Live Arcade with optimized graphics and other improvements to make it compatible with the service Xbox Live.
According to what Grubb said in a conversation on Twitter, the software house The Initiative (owned by Microsoft) would be working on a third-person shooter title that could be based on the original game or otherwise based on the same narrative universe. This indiscretion would seem to draw strength from the fact that Phil Spencer, head of the Xbox division, previously said that the team at The Initiative is working on old things done in a new way. This news takes up what was already leaked last April.
For those unfamiliar with him, Perfect Dark is a first person shooter set right in 2020 that will see us mainly impersonate the role of Joanna dark, a secret agent who has the task of investigating and thwarting conspiracies and plots that threaten the life of the president of the United States of America and the political stability of the country with stars and stripes. In order to accomplish the mission, Joanna will need to interact with robot, Other humans e aliens present inside theArea 51, in a series of missions that will see players play other characters as well. There is also a multiplayer mode that, in the re-edition for Xbox 360, also allowed to play online.
In the absence of other news, we just have to wait for information about a hypothetical return of Perfect Dark by Microsoft.
"confirm" is a loaded term. I said it. As @ Rand_al_Thor_19 points out, it might not be exactly Perfect Dark, but it's playing in that universe.
