Perfect Dark 2 canceled, may have evolved into something else

As the footage from a former Rare employee shows work on Perfect Dark 2 was done in 2007 before being scrapped as well as Kameo 2. Additionally, MundoRare has some exclusive information to share regarding Perfect Dark 2. According to our own sources, PD2 was indeed started in 2007, but by late 2007, it wasn't greenlighted; it was a prototype instead. Chris Seavor from Conker and Killer Instinct fame was in charge of the project. By early 2008, the PD2 team was cut down to a 3-man team, effectively putting the game on hold. At the same time, our sources revealed that back then, it was "overwhelmingly unlikely" that PD2 would no longer be set in the PD universe. During early 2008, the game (which evolved into something that wasn't PD2) was still in its early stages and with an uncertain future.

Conker Bad Fur Day would be awesome with Natal.

Gandalf5279d ago

Instead they're forced to work on some Natal crap.

Elvfam5115279d ago

looks really good smooth and all

Why would they ditch PD

For a peripheral that might not even

be good sad day for the fans of these
Games

TheBlackSmoke5279d ago

Kind of a coincidence how since Rare were bought by MS they have completely fallen from grace.

Rare on N64 = gods

Rare on 360 = games comparable to barbie horse adventures.

HolyOrangeCows5279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

Start making awesome games again.....please?

:'(

They managed to screw up Banjo-Kazooie, though, so I don't really have high hopes for RARE. And the guy above me is right.

TheBlackSmoke5279d ago

Honestly Microsoft acquiring Rare should of been the equivalent of Sony acquiring Naughty dog. Just goes to show what happens when business takes control of creativity.

Blaze9295278d ago

Yeah everyone just blame Microsoft for what Rare has become...nevermind the fact that key members of the GoldenEye team left after beginning work on Perfect Dark.

Nevermind the fact that another small number of employees left to form Eighth Wonder.

So no, it doesn't show what happens when business takes control of creativity; it shows what happens when a company filled with key creative people leave that company.

HolyOrangeCows5278d ago

One of their best, Banjo-Tooie, came out a year after this ''devastating'' split.

Why o why5279d ago (Edited 5279d ago )

before you say 'ehhh bu sony cancelled x y and z' remember that those cancellations didn't stop a constant flow or MORE constant flow of games. Never played kameo but i heard it has a large following so its a pity for those guys i suppose as im sure those guys would just prefer a straight sequel instead of a natal version/spinoff..who knows

Legionaire20055279d ago

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! oh God no!!! why!!! This would have been the best FPS ever and it would be a system seller. This is ridiculous man!!! it makes no sense.

Valay5279d ago

This is a shame. I enjoyed the first Perfect Dark quite a bit.

Unicron5279d ago

Indeed. GE007 and PD are probably THE greatest console FPS of all time. I haven't had nearly as much fun with a console FPS since. Good times!

Darkestbeforedawn5279d ago

I need to replay Perfect Dark over and over. I'm never getting rid of this bad boy now.

CaulkSlap5279d ago

I really hope you aren't referring to Perfect Dark Zero... that game was like bathing in feces horrible. N64 Perfect Dark was insanely awesome for its time though. Rare is just worthless post-N64 days imo.

Perfect Dark Zero - Unique Ideas, Flawed Execution

Perfect Dark Zero launched alongside the Xbox 360 back in 2005, to much criticism. 18 years later, is it worth another look?

Perfect Dark Zero was the first game that I purchased for my XBOX 360. I still have the game in my collection. I think I played it for about 45 minutes in total over the past 18 years. It's a really bad game, and I was so disappointed when I first fired it up almost 20 years ago.

zacly154d ago

I had fun with the mutiplayer. Didnt feel like Perfect Dark, but still had some fun with it

Just can't take this list serious when they mention DA:2 and what they said about it.

2BlackBelt1422d ago (Edited 1422d ago )

Parasite Eve
The Bouncer
Dino Crisis
Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
Final Fantasy VIII
Croc Legend of the Gobbos
Chrono Trigger
Sonic Adventure
Mario Sunshine

MazeRunner1422d ago

your list is spot on. i always said parasite eve, metal gear solid, dino crisis and silent hill deserve a remake and would make tons of money right now.

Riku071421d ago

Agreed with everything on this list. Glad you mentioned the bouncer. Didn't think anyone remembered that game lol. I Liked that game a lot despite the flaws with it. I can see them remaking it but it really needs to update the battle system and flesh out the story more in the remake.

BY THE GROWNGAMING TEAM: Video game sequels are given the best chance of success possible. They give players the opportunity to revisit a world they enjoyed exploring with a cast of characters they loved, usually with improved gameplay mechanics and graphics.

Some video game sequels eclipse the game that came before, but some sequels can, unfortunately, be huge disappointments.

These are the video game sequels that disappointed the GrownGaming team the most. Which one disappointed you the most?

Perfect Dark Zero. What a horrible follow up to Perfect Dark

kltpzyxm1433d ago

I remember that I bought a 360 mainly for that game, and what a letdown that was.

FlavorLav011432d ago (Edited 1432d ago )

Bought PF:Zero at the 360 launch and thought it was hot trash. That game deflated my desire to see that franchise make a return

Sono4211432d ago

Personally mine is a sequel to literally one of the best games of all time, and this sequel makes the first game mean absolutely nothing, this sequel is better off never being made, the story is just that bad. A huge shame because the developer actually has the best talent in the industry, but it only took a select few to ruin the game.

bouzebbal1432d ago

DMC2
Resident Evil 4
Breath of The Wild

Tekken666341432d ago (Edited 1432d ago )

I thought watch dogs 2 more than perfect dark zero.
at least perfect dark remained the same as it's demo and E3 gameplay.

Ricegum1432d ago

So did Watch Dogs 2. I think you're confusing it with the first Watch Dogs.

pwnmaster30001432d ago

Halo 3( liked it but nothing compare to halo 1/2 so a tad disappointed, multiplayer was the shit )
Any assassin creed after black flag (again liked it but wasn’t as good)
Star ocean 4
The recent mass effect. ( mass effect 1 was only yhe reason I bought a 360 and what made me fall in love with the series)
Ratchet and clank All 4 one if you count that as a sequel
Kill zone shadow fall ( like halo good but wast like 2/3)

-Foxtrot1433d ago

Resident Evil 5

Dead Space 3

Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts

Nitrowolf21433d ago

I can agree with those.

I kind of want to throw KH3. It was a good game, but for a final part in this first act Saga, I wish it went out with more.

Mafia 3
Perfect Dark Zero

Profchaos1432d ago (Edited 1432d ago )

Mafia 3 was a pretty big disappointment give us awesome characters setting and music only to make you repeat the same racket disruption actions over and over for hours until you get Sal's attention instead of fleshing out the story

It was like far cry camps on steroids and relies to much on fanfare of Mafia 2 by giving vitto such a large unessacery role a cameo is fine but I want to live in the world mafia 3 is building not be reminded how badass vitto was and make it look like he can't take on a gang of thugs at the docks now.

bouzebbal1432d ago

tell me why Dead Space 3 disppointed you? i'm very curious..
i loved it, it improved over DS2 in many ways. Only weakness is lack of monster variety.
The seemless experience with no load screen between chapters, weapons customisations were great additions.

-Foxtrot1432d ago

It was a shit horror game

It went full on action

They added some generic space marine as your buddy, even though they had Ellie

They obviously didn’t learn from Capcom with what they did to RE5 after RE4

The story despite being silly got far too dumb this time round.

You could end up over powered far too quickly

It wasn’t survival horror...you know, what the game is supposed to be.

It’s the worst one in the franchise and hell...it pretty much killed it.

bouzebbal1432d ago

I never saw dead space as a survival horror.. It has always been an action game for me and DS3 was good in that sense.
I would have preferred if it was darker like ds2 though, but I had a blast until the platinum

Sciurus_vulgaris1433d ago

I don’t hate any or these games, but my list would be:

Dead Space 3
Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm
Sly Cooper 3
Perfect Dark Zero (this is technically a prequel)
Gears of War: Judgement (again a prequel)
God of War: Ascension (again a prequel)

ZeekQuattro1433d ago

Mass Effect 3. It was the typical sequel where it looked and played better than the previous entry but it felt like it was missing the charm of the last one. Some of my favorite crew mates were reduced to cameos in 3 and the new ones just weren't as good. The eventual fix they offered did little to rectify it either.

Profchaos1432d ago

Yes so much yes it's in the same level as Andromeda for me it's serviceable but missing what made 2 so special

Manubiggs1432d ago

It has to be Andromeda for me. I have tried many times but can't bring myself to finish it ...I get so bored.
