I get it, the original PD was a straight up hardcore FPS game. Goldeneye 2. None of this Mirror's Edge stuff and the like.

But I think the franchise has the room to change and adapt. And maybe it should, because trying to be a straight up hardcore FPS in this market is a different beast than in the N64 days, which is the last time PD happened.

I'm not counting PD0 of course.



I really don't think we've seen enough of the game to draw these conclusions. You didn't even know aliens were in PD until some time into the game, nevermind the first trailer.

We don't speak of perfect dark zero

You are correct we don't know enough yet, but I still feel it's giving off a different game altogether. They need to show more I guess.

As I say it still looks like a good game. I just wish it wasn't perfect dark

 

[Labadal]

Looked like it could be interesting, but Perfect Dark, it aint.

 

[BlackTron]

Unperfect Dark

 

[[Sigma]]

Definitely got that Mirror's Edge gameplay vibes.

 

[ShirAhava]

"Perfect Dark Generic" looks like a 2008 GOTY gameplay wise

and if you can't switch to third person PDZ is superior

 

[StueyDuck]

Unperfect Dark

Please sir... its 2024

Perfect lit

 

[Vasto]

This was my Game Of The Show. I think it looked really good.

 

[Sub_Level]

Looks pretty generic in terms of art direction.

 

[Arsic]

Legit worth the wait. They have a clear vision here and I’m there for it.

 

[CartesianMan]

Looks good, also parkour fit in spy phantasy so I'm in.

 

[Kurimao]

 

[Moses85]

My Girl is finally back

 

[MrRibeye]

Looks like Deus Ex and Mirror's Edge combined.

For real, best description of this trailer.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I like what I saw.

 

[pnutboy]

Totally down for this direction, especially in the absence of Deus Ex or Prey games now

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Looks so good.

 

[mortal]

That looked pretty great. Seems like the dev team managed to get through the hardship if those troubled development rumors were true.

 

[BoxFresh123]

They brought the smoke

 

[The Cockatrice]

I like it. Hopefully level design allows full stealth/multiple paths like Deus Ex.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

I found her face model:

 

[SimTourist]

The fakest gameplay trailer since Anthem.

 

[Sephimoth]

Looks fine (apart from DEI jaw), I just hope its not straying too far from what made the OG good

Hard to get a read on how it will play

 

[DragoonKain]

I thought it looked pretty good, but I love parkour style games and this looks to have strong elements of that. I'll be checking this out.

 

[Calverz]

This looks great. Relieved its first person.

 

[Robb]

It’s cool to finally see it. Not really what I expected it to be though. Was hoping for something more playful with fun spy gadgets and gameplay mechanics.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks amazing.

Best game of the show from what was shown.

Never played original PD, but this gave me Deus Ex vibes and I am here for it.

 

[Action Jackson]

That gave me Haze vibes...

 

[Mr Moose]

Silent Hill chin. Good thing its FPS.

 

[tomato shrub]

Is that the Captain Marvel actress?

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

They did a great job with it.

I just don't get a dark future vibe from what I saw. Looked very near-future. Which could be OK, but very reminiscent of Deus Ex: MD. For better or worse.

Favorite reveal of the show. Hyped.

 

[scarlet0pimp]

I think it looks like a very decent perfect dark game. Got gadgets and futuristic looking city, sneaking about James bond like as well. Much better than I imagined

 

[adamsapple]

Not the game of the show but definitely the biggest surprise of the show.

Wasn't expecting them to show a mostly-gameplay trailer for this, scripted or not.

 

[Antwix]

Game looks really good. Thought the gunplay in particular looked great. And some mirror's edge parkouring? In.

 

[JerryinSoCal]

I thought it looked quite bad to be honest, visually it's nothing special and it didn't seem to be running smoothly either.

 

[Shifty1897]

The gameplay was omega fake, what the fuck was that

I definitely saw some moments that were gameplay and thought... that's never been done before, how is that going to work?

But I wouldn't call it fake gameplay.

 

[splattered]

Fuck, now I need to buy Series S again.

Ahem... you mean all digital Series X ?

 

[Syphon Filter]

It looks terrible and nothing like a perfect dark game like I expected. also its going to be woke with "joanna" having a man jaw.

 

[nkarafo]

In what way this looks good?

- The protagonist does not look like Joanna Dark.
- The auto exposure lighting is atrocious.
- Graphics look last gen? Dunno, if you told me this is XBOX one footage i would believe it.
- Art direction looks meh.

 

[pepodmc_]

Game looks amazing but what have they done to Joanna...

Western devs are utterly incapable of making aestetically pleasing women anymore...

they dont want to.

 

[Drell]

 

[SaintALia]

Doesn't look much like 'Perfect Dark', looked more like 'Darkened Mirror's Edge'.

You'd think for a Perfect Dark trailer, they'd try and highlight the weaponry and gadgets, but nope, they chose to focus on melee combat and traversal, things very much not synonymous with the franchise. But this is a reboot of sorts, so 'Bold move Cotton' etc etc.

 

[pepodmc_]

Game looks good enough.

But an absolute bastardisation of the IP. Absolutely nothing In this is perfect dark at all other than the name in the title.

Looks like they've just attached a random game to an ip because they were worried it wouldn't sell.

As been mentioned, calling this a deus ex sequel is more apt

There is also alot of cyberpunk style fake gameplay but most games do that with their vertical slice so I'm not gonna knock it for that

Edit: I see where the narrative is going with the game and Joanna. I just want it to be clear my gripes are with the game itself resembling nothing to what I consider perfect dark to be. It has nothing to do with the looks of the character

It looks a lot like a sequel of crisis 2 in aesthetics

 

[Yoshichan]

i could almost fit my dick between those double cheeks

but game looks good, good for the Perfect Dark IP

 

[Dr. Claus]

What a joke. This looks nothing like Perfect Dark and is just trying to use the name to boost its success. Otherwise it would look like an incredibly generic shooter.

 

[Sacred]

Love the direction they are taking this, mirror's edge, splinter cell, and some Deus Ex peppered in, brilliant. There is an awful lot of cope in here for sure.

 

[Brigandier]

Looks decent , glad to see it's actually coming along now but Joanna looking very MS pronouns sweet baby Jesus.

 

[Antwix]

They should focus on the single player experience but I hope this has some nice casual multiplayer like the original (and 007) had.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks pretty interesting even though the lead is a bit too tranny looking. I haven't played the original so it doesn't have to live up to any expectations.

 

[clarky]

In what way this looks good?

- The protagonist does not look like Joanna Dark.

Youre right, nothing like her. Bastards

 

[March Climber]

Game looks amazing but what have they done to Joanna...

Western devs are utterly incapable of making aestetically pleasing women anymore...

You used the worst render of Joanna Dark. Yours was the cheap Blender-looking knockoff they used for the remaster. Here's the classic N64 one:
