The hits just keep on coming. Will not be surprised if this gets canned. It already got rebooted and they had to bring on an outside studio to try and help developement. Some of the original creatives have left the project.

But I will say, just wait until the MS showcase. If you don't see it there, then alarm bells should start ringing.

God, please don't screw this one up Microsoft! I am keeping my expectations super low, but Perfect Dark (the original) holds such a special place in my childhood. I want this to turn out well SO bad.

Are you expecting the game to be shown at the upcoming Xbox Showcase?

Just cancel it because we know you won’t be happy with its sales performance while giving it away on GP day one. GP is the biggest issue for developers and that affects the sales. No one can deny that now. GP equals to good deal for gamers and bad deals for AAA development. Take two CEO said it and he was 100% right. There are certain games that make sense on GP but not every game. 20 million gamers playing a game on GP doesn’t mean much to MS it seems because they still want sales. Just please start releasing all games on other platforms otherwise Phil is next now. You can’t spend 80 billion and be this bad

The studio was founded in 2018. It's still not adding up in my head how it can take 6 years to develop a game, with a whole dev studio working on it.

This is the only upcoming MS game I'm looking forward to. I hope it doesn't get canceled.

Perfect Dark would be cool but I’m hoping for Fable. I’m really interested where they’ve taken the game.

Tacoboto8d ago

Looking ahead now, I'd say Avowed is what I'm looking forward to most in the fall. Obsidian's been nothing but quality and consistency so I can't wait to see what they've been cooking

The description kind of reminds me of "All Points Bulleting". I never got the chance to play it but a similar game with a higher budget? And it's on GamePass? Sign me up.

Thought this the game was vaporware they were having issues behind the scenes. If it releases it might be late this year maybe early next year.

Hardline had one of the best MP modes, the one where the hard points are vehicles and you get points for how long you are in the vehicles......chaotically driving around the map and then also chasing the enemy down to destroy the vehicles was a great, fun mode
