Rare has sent over a handful of screenshots showing how Perfect Dark's Xbox Live Arcade remake is looking. The short of it is that it's looking pretty damn good. Everything's been given a fresh coat if paint to make Perfect Dark XBLA look sleeker, smoother and sexier than the N64 original.
If you're cynical about the improvements, feel free to head on over to Rare's Web site and click the comparison shots. The rest of you, let us know if you're planning to pick this up. I know it's no GoldenEye, but it's good to see that the rest of Rare's old games are getting the downloadable treatment.

@VWGTI: everyone from rare's good ol' days works somewhere else now.
@ VWGTI
I know Perfect Dark Zero was technically a prequel and not a sequel, but judging by their effort with that game I'm not so sure they have what it takes anymore to make a good FPS.
After that, it is all downhill.
There's a part of me that's kinda glad they didn't return to Killer Instinct, Jet Force Gemini, Battletoads, Blast Corps or Conker. Keep churning out remakes that I'll probably be kept interested and glad the series have died with dignity. =/
Hell fkn yes! I'll be buying a 360 for this game..
"My God. Buff that framerate up to a solid 60 at all times and I will be there the first second it's released."
"As long as it doesn't lag in multiplayer like the original, count me in."
"if the game doesn't lag it's an easy purchase."
1080p @ 60 frames per second has already been confirmed a while ago. It's going to be awesome!
Now if they released Jet Force Gemini with Live multiplayer I'd buy that in a second. Of course I'd buy DK64 too but we all know Nintendo won't let that happen.
