Perfect Dark XBLA in Feb?

[Yungstar 2006]

An official release date is yet to be nailed, but sources point to the game arriving in February.

Rare's studio head Mark Betteridge told CVG this week:

"Perfect Dark will be arriving on Xbox Live Arcade in the next few months, polished up by 4J Studios with improved textures and framerate, Leaderboards and Achievements, and of course online multiplayer.

"We know there are a lot of people looking forward to that. There's nothing to announce yet after Perfect Dark, but we've got over 25 years of IP to dip into so there's no shortage of possibilities."

I think that's what they call 'wetting the whistle'.

I'd love if they "dipped into" Jet Force Gemini and released that!

This will be the second XBOX live game I'll buy.

 

[Skully]

I will get this, if only to shoot Elvis in the head and get 'eh heh he'.

Hoping the price is right sub 1200 points would do

- 1080p, 60 FPS remake of the original N64 classic. Character models that were originally 300 polygons now boast 3500, while guns have leapt from 150 polygons to nearer 2000.

- Like the original Perfect Dark, Goldeneye's three best maps – Temple, Facility and Complex are included, but this time out there's a special bonus; Goldeneye's weapon set is also being included, meaning that for all intents and purposes the game has finally made it to Microsoft's console.

- 4 players splitscreen vs 4 players splitscreen over live, 4 player splitscreen offline, Counter OP,and Co-Op both online and offline, 8 players online deathmatch.

- "Multiplayer's also been boosted, with all the game's original modes now playable with eight players online. All the split-screen options are also present and correct, available both online and off. It's more than a recipe for some nostalgic shooting – Perfect Dark's multiplayer is still so compelling that we wouldn't be surprised if it managed to oust some of the bigger guns at the top of Xbox LIVE's most played list."

- "Spartan and Duty Calls" Controller options , "It may not be subtle, but Halo and COD fans will know exactly what to do once the game starts."

- Game is out in March for 800 POINTS

bargain.

Perfect Dark 60fps in 1080p is going to be so awesome.

Not sure if people have seen these before, comparison to the N64 version:

800 points is a good price, I was expecting a disappointing 1200, but 800 sounds about right.

This is like a dream come true! I used to spend ages playing this with my mates. I can't wait for this to be released.

 

[peetee]

unreal with the splitscreen live support.
+1 for jet force gemini with me too
