Perfect Dark for the XBLA was finally confirmed last week during the madness that was E3. It's probably one of the best news to come out of E3 for me. Yes, I know that Perfect Dark doesn't really stand the test of time when it comes to FPS games, but it was one of my all time favorite games on the Nintendo 64 and I will gladly pick this game up again.
4J Studios is behind the revival of this classic shooter, which is going to be in full HD, 1080p and will be running at 60 frames per second. Everything that was in the original game will be here (no Expansion Pak required!) and there's going to be new Xbox LIVE features such as online multiplayer.
Below are some screenshots for Perfect Dark XBLA and it's hard to say if going HD, 1080p on a Nintendo 64 game is a good thing. It's like comparing a picture of dog sh*t taken with a cell phone camera to a picture of dog sh*t taken with a Canon 10MP camera. One looks better, but they're still both pictures of dog sh*t.
By the way, don't forget the free Perfect Dark dashboard theme before it's gone for good!

Well done, them. But who hasn't been playing it on N64 or emulator all this time anyway?
That's just me though.
its that shitty game
Fucking YES.
Also to anyone who owned the original, the screens are sex.
They've upped the anti aliasing or something cause it looks better there than it does on my emulator.
We played this game for days and days just like Goldeneye in battle mode. The graphics were always incredibly bad in multi-player split-screen mode but we didn't care because it was tons of fun. Now with 1080p? I am going to buy this the day it comes out.
Magnalon: They need to give us Goldeneye too!
Of course, once your friends start punching you in multiplayer, you'll get a blurry screen anyway...
why not turn up the antialiasing on your emulator?
i have to wonder if i'll be able to finally put my face on the dogshit as the devs originally intended.
I totally forgot about that! they got all scared because of columbine so they took that out! god I was so looking forward to scanning in my face and killing myself! blahhh!
i still have my gb camera lets DO THIS!
Although when PD64 came out, it was basically GoldenEye64-2, fixing/updating the previous game, but I have never, ever, EVER played a videogame that had levels that were EXACTLY like the scenes/stages from the movie they were based on. And thus, the only ever good movie-to-game transition ever.
Yes, yes, I recognize Bourne Conspiracy. And Lost: Via Domus. SHH! /rant
