Rare showing off Perfect Dark at X10, we preview it now photo

Rare is finally going to showcase a playable version of their revamped Perfect Dark that it will be releasing some time soon for the Xbox LIVE Arcade. Rare has announced that they will be letting people play the game next week at Microsoft's X10 media event That's right, we can finally bring you a preview of Perfect Dark, the game no one has ever playe... wait, I can go hands on with it right now. Hold on, let me get out the Nintendo 64.

OK, here's the preview: It's a good game. A very solid first-person shooter with some great action. I think I'm still a bigger fan of GoldenEye, but this is solid. I think the upgraded graphics are going to look prettier as the screenshot above shows, and the 60 FPS is all good and fun. The multiplayer is a blast too, and it should be fun over LIVE.

There you go. Exclusive, hands-on preview of Perfect Dark before any other site has it. We're on top of our sh*t here at Destructoid.

Perfect Dark Playable at X10 [CVG]

It's taking forever to release this thing, but I'm still mildly excited.

You're not supposed to play Perfect Dark over Live. You're supposed to play it with people who are on the same couch as you.

Oh fucking god i love this game. The only bad thing was the Lag that massives explosions with the N-bombs and too much Laptop Guns placed at the same time.
Damn i hate it is on Xbox Arcade ... gotta get an Xbox D:

This is like the 6th time they've said they are releasing it.

Please just release it so I can sleep at night.

This game is the ONLY thing that would make me consider getting a 360 again.

Why is taking them so long to bring this game to XBL?

My friends slow jerk it to this game, but I was a bigger Goldeneye fan myself. Power Weapons in the Complex ftw.

It read like a Hamza post but it had a Razak avatar. I'm confused.

I'm happy to see this. I had an N64, but couldn't afford this game back then. I'll look forward to this version, and I'm glad Rare made it happen.

Yes, Rare. Forgot Banjo bear, next get working on that Blastcorp sequel. Bloody long overdue and a no brainer.

Makes want to jack a truck just thinking about.

Before Shadow of the Colossus, hands down my single favourite game. It's the reason I still have an N64 set up next to the 360.

Goldeneye had the better single player (although PD's was still pretty cool). Perfect to this day still has one of the best multiplayer modes. I remember me and a mate playing for hours on end, me and him, against 8 sims (bots) on the area 51 level. It never got old.

Can't wait...

I hoped it would be released as WiiWare aswell. How did Rare become such a bitch for the 360 ?

"It's taking forever to release this thing, but I'm still mildly excited."
It did that the first time too.


I hope this doesn't get botched like PDZ. Man alive that game was awful! I know the original PD like the back of my hand, literally memorized every stage, probably played it more than 30 hours a week for months. I loved that game. This somehow feels like an atrocity. I don't like most remakes, after what they did to Conker I don't think I'm being unreasonable.

I am incredibly stoked to finally get back into PD! I played the N64 version more than any other game on the 64... I'm really looking forward to the updated graphics and whatnot. Hope they added the facemapper this time around.

Most games usually end up with people on the mics questioning if the server is going to shutdown because two people rage quit on the other team. It's a bit distracting and it really takes the fun out of the game by the halfway mark.
