Rare had plans for a spinoff to Perfect Dark called Velvet Dark, the studio's creative director, Gregg Mayles, has revealed.
Years of setbacks have stalled development on the new Perfect Dark, and while it’s well underway now, we may have to wait a while yet.
The Initiative in 5 years have nothing.
How come Microsoft hasn't disbanded them?
That’s because Microsoft likes there hands off approach.
Look at Minecraft... We’re 3 years into current gen and still playing the Xbox One and PS4 version. Still no 4k, no 120fps, no Ray-Tracing, and no graphics updates whatsoever. Coming from a studio with over 600 employees.
The Last Guardian took 10 years to make. In fact a whole generation passed before it was released. Playstation gamers were still OK with it. As long as Perfect Dark comes out good im sure xbox gamers will be OK with it.
MS is busy rebranding Multiplatform games as xbox exclusive. They can't be bothered with making games.
@reaper you forget playstation closed japan studio's not long after? Japan studios were awesome but you can't have development cycles last that long.
Microsoft doesnt know how to make good games. The initiative will fail. They've probably restarted the project at least once already.
The rumor was they're working on the next Tombraider at Square so PD is somewhat on the back burner now. Apparently TR will release before PD.
@Fire Im a heat magnet of downvote. Which is a good thing because it means ppl are paying attention to my words and findings.
My mistake here gives them an actual reason to downvote.
Nobody agrees, but everyone knows I'm right about these things. The more heat and downvotes the better for me actually.
All they're doing is validating the facts and logics. That's all I need so it's working.
Downvote away validate my comments lol
Embracer?
Wonder if that was the billion dollar deal that's apparently tanked them.
well it makes sense for CD to focus on there own ip's first and foremost.
there a talented studio so im sure they will make a great PD game when it actually does release
Maybe it could finally be made on XBO? That and someday a Perfect Dark remake would be cool.
Why not "Flawless Dark" instead or "So-so Dark". Maybe her sister is "Good...but no perfect" :)
Seriously, if there was ever an IP that MS needs to make it's another Perfect Dark. It has just as much lore and back story as Halo.
It was a great FPS on N64 and even PD Zero was good for a launch title.
C'mon MS...make this the next one on your list to make.
Perfect Dark is a missed opportunity for Microsoft could easily be the face of Xbox.
