bro wtf are you talking about, the original Perfect Dark on N64 is widely regarded as revolutionary
And the one on 360? lol
havenât played it myself, but was just refuting the statement that the series is âfps trashâ when itâs obviously not. Go watch the Digital Foundry video about PD and Goldeneye to learn why they were big, important games back in the day
Tbh I have no idea. Just want Xbox to make a big bet and spend a lot of money on something brand new. There is a reason why the only discussion about unannounced games is reviving old IPs because there isnât much to talk about with new stuff. That team is set up in a location and have expertise with the action adventure genre, so wouldnât be surprised if itâd something like that. But tbh, Iâll play anything they want to make. Just make it an ambitious project.
Crimson Skies
Rocket Power. They skate, play hockey, and solve crimes. No joke, if I have the money, Iâd make a Rocket Power game
Thereâs a formula for award winning âAAAAâ games, and I expect The Initiative to check all of the boxes required.
-
Realistic visuals
-
incredible mocap and facial animations
-
3rd person perspective
-
compelling personal story
-
dramatic and moody
-
ultra linear or open world, there is no in-between
-
largely, if not entirely, focused on a single player experience
Perfect Dark works well because itâs a Blade Runner-esque visual motif mixed with espionage. It could be a compelling universe.
I think weâre getting some take on PD as rumors have indicated. Itâll likely be bombastic, similar to Uncharted/Tomb Raider, semi-open world, with âstealthâ sections.
IP doesnât matter to me - new or existing - but what Iâd like to see is something a little more measured and interactive, in the vein of Prey or Dishonored. Or maybe something along the lines of a Mass Effect 2/3, obviously not using the same aesthetic.
If it was existing IP, maybe reboot Shadowrun or do a proper ReCore sequel with budget.
A new open world to live in, consisting of three very different realms, based on the individual concepts of the artists The Initiative have recruited so far. Or an episodic game series evolved from Joss Whedonâs post-TV continuation of Buffy in comic form.
Really, just something that intrigues the mind, is pleasing to the senses and regularly makes me think, âOh, thatâs newâŚâ whilst playing it. Not much to ask.
Dassit.
Perfect Dark on N64 is a very high rated classic.
I would love if they were making something close to a Zelda or Darksiders. (Heck a higher budget Darksiders 3 would be right on my alley)
Not an rpg but a more open game, in a fantasy setting with focus on combat, exploration and puzzles and some big bosses.
OMG if Ms buys Warner would they get the Buffy rights?
In this case I would love to see that, plus the old Buffy game for Xbox available for BC.
The only things I need:
- High Quality gameplay/Impressive visuals
- Proper Single Player mode
For everything else Iâm open, surprise me!
I agree with that. For my part, it can also be a very linear game without an open world. But with an exciting story, good characters and great graphics. Perhaps a game similar to The Order 1886.
Yea defnitely, weâve got enough open worlds. All I need is super tight and fun gameplay.
being honest? would love a immersive sim in the PD universe.
but all things points to a 3rd person game in the PD universe, so iâm happy anyways.
I think their game might be somethingâŚelse. I had hoped this would be the âSony-studioâ of the bunch, but Iâm not so sure anymore. @Klobrille hints at weird stuff.
Pretty much exactly what I would want from Initiative. Speaking frankly XGS needs a title, even just 1 that is a âcritical darlingâ in this area. They seem to have a knock on effect on the rest of the titles said publisher creates and would do wonders for Game Pass, effectively killing the entire âfodderâ argument. They need an experience that will turn heads, and I think a 3rd person game that is heavily narrative driven in any setting would work.
Whatever they do, Iâm positive it will be a very good game. Place is just brimming with talent.
What did Klobrille say?
