1:13 *Jane:* Having consulted our own network of spies
_~Jane pushes her way through the pulsing electronic beats of a nightclub towards the back, where she encounter a lone figure in black hoodie tapping away at a laptop, a few strands of purple hair hanging loose. Ellen looks up as Jane slides into the booth across from her, then exchanges a thumb drive for more pun forgiveness vouchers~_
Ellen: “Thanks a _pun_ ” *giggle giggle*
Jane: ~ _Immediately takes one back and walks away_ ~
"Our own network of spies" i.e., Andy in LA eating a Cheese Danish.
The release date.
I bet it's a 2026 game
the same day as GTA 6??
Never coming out & if it does it will be 💩🗑like everything Microsoft(the king of thieves)will ever make/made,these are facts.
Has to be 2025. You show Fable with a bit of gameplay twice and it is 2025, but you show Perfect Dark with only gameplay and is not 2025. What the hell?!
@@mangelangel2570 That doesn't necessarily show the state of development.
Fable could've gone full CGI to pay homage to Peter Mollineux and sell you a dream instead of what you'll actually get (which is still good, but not Peter Mollineux's pitch good).
And (im?)Perfect Dark may have shown a curated, bug-free slice of what they want to accomplish, but not necessarily what's in the game right now. Maybe, after years of multiple cooks in the kitchen, they have the entrée, but the main course is still a mess and the ingredients for the dessert are missing.
I'm just guessing, of course, and it could still come out in 2025, but the lack of a release date isn't encouraging...
A mix of Arkane games, Deus Ex, Cyberpunk and a smidge of Mirror's edge. I liked it 👍
Sounds like dataDyne is to Joanna Dark as the ICA is to Agent 47
I think it's too early to say that the _entire_ game will be set in Cairo; rather, I believe Cairo will be a central location within the storyline, but I'd imagine that they'll at least have a few missions elsewhere for variety.
Remember, the original Perfect Dark's missions included, among other locations:
• A corporate skyscraper with a secret underground lab
• A private oceanside villa powered by its own wind turbine
• Area 51
• An isolated Presidential Air Base carved into the frigid mountains of northern Alaska
• A sentient alien Death Star-like weapon that's been lying on the ocean floor since the dinosaurs walked the earth
• The arid home planet of a warlike alien species, heated by three different suns
I don't think the developers of this reboot have any intention of eschewing the diversity of its forebear. Even if the game *is* mainly in Cairo, they'll make sure to have a diverse range of settings within and around the city to keep things fresh.
OG Perfect Dark = cool guns, cool gadgets, fun levels with lots of space to explore/do objectives, fun sci-fi/espionage story, and really fun AI and gamemodes all wrapped up in a fancier Goldeneye. I want all that and obviously more, but we'll have to see!
I was all set to love this, it looked like it has everything but then they got to "Imperfect Dark" and that has me worried, like they have taken a character we all love and made her "better" because it's "more realistic" in a game where you can see through walls, slow down time and jump of the side of buildings. Hoping I'm wrong but it gives me a bad feeling.
@TheOmegaXicor I'm certainly not all in on it either. I'll be waiting for reviews and some let's plays for sure. I think it will be tough for me to like this one more than the OG just because I'm not a big fan of modern, free-movement shooters.
Don't forget the music
Perfect Dark was my jam when i was a teenager, i actually unlocked everything, including some of the most insane weapons ever created. 4 player splitscreen games at my place were pure chaos 😆
High 🖐️ Perfect Dark was the game all my friends would request to play when calling at my house too! Even my sister was a fan of the game! Hours of fun trying to evade the remote missile gun plus strategising by throwing the lap top auto gun turret into a preffered corner of the map! A truly amazing game !
The mirror's edge parkour was what hooked me. Catalyst was controversial but still so much fun, so if this gives me more of that with really tight gunplay or anything other interesting gimmicks, i'm sold
The thing that interests me about the parkour shown here is how grounded it feels. Parkour in games really suffers when it's laughably unrealistic. Catalyst had this problem a lot compared to the first Mirror's Edge. Faith can consistently wall-run for like 8 steps on wet glass in Catalyst, as well as springboard like 12 feet in the air. Dying Light 2 also struggled with its ludicrous parkour. I think keeping it more believable enhances the cool factor of it.
I really hope we get to see more of this game soon, it was definitely my favourite thing to see crop up during SGF

The Magsec canonically is made by dataDyne in the original game, isn’t it?
Yeah, so that's why she's using it instead of the Falcon made by Carrington neat little detail.
I think it'll be a double agent style undercover.
Taser, non lethal? Syphon Filter would like to have a word with you 🔥
I miss that function
GABE !!
I REALLY hope they at least try to make the music similar to the N64 game. A huge part of Perfect Dark's atmosphere comes from its 90s synthwave music sounds.
DataDyne sounds like a corporate buzzword to get people to work through their lunchtime.
DataDyne Consulting is a web designer in Dublin, possibly also DataDyne Ltd in the UK, DataDyne LLC is a game developer in Dublin.
If you got time to whine you got time to DataDyne.
I hope this game has a perfected Arc.
But does it have Elvis?
I’m wicked excited for Perfect Dark now! I was skeptical, but it looks great!
8. Why my dad didn't love me. 😢
The original Perfect Dark was, and please correct me if I'm wrong, built on the Goldeneye engine by the same devs, as it was supposed to be similar yet different to the aforementioned 007 Game.
There have been calls for an espionage film franchise built around a female protagonist (Atomic Blonde anyone?) which is why PC pirates went after the Bond franchise about 7-8 years ago, despite not seeing any of the films and just seeing it as raging misogyny. But I digress.
Perfect Dark was cited as a prime candidate to fill this void. Making this iteration of Joanna Dark a bit more rough around the edges echoes Daniel Craig's Bond, the most source-text accurate of the Bond actors, but one cannot keep making the Bond parallels because that is unfair. If Tomb Raider is anything to go by, then this will be a banging game. Considering games are becoming films more and more often, I sincerely hope this version of Perfect Dark can be expanded and written as a film easily.
Yeah it was basically the game that fixed everything janky about GoldenEye. Unfortunately not as popular because it was an original IP instead
Feel like Jane would be the perfect voice for Joanna Dark.
Gonna laugh if Core mantis unds up being an anigram for manticores
The trailer seemed a bit choreographed rather than actual gameplay, getting some vibes like from the Cyberpunk 2077 preview. Hope it's for real though because I would enjoy a DX + ME mix
Ok big perfect dark nerd here, Datadyne wouldnt be as evil with Cassandra dead and anyway before her death all she wanted was revenge against the skedar which Jo ended up doing for her.
My big questions. Will the entire game be able to be completed with co-op like the previous entries? Will Jonathon show up? Will there be difficulty levels that changes objectives?
asking the real questions.
Is this gonna be the next Night City??
Chuds: NO! THEY MADE HER NOT SUPER SEXY! WHAAAAAH!!
me: is that a different Joanna? She doesn't look like either the original or the prequel
❤❤❤❤❤
As long as they include Elvis in the reboot.. :p
I loved the Original Perfect Dark, I think I ended up playing it more than Goldeneye and fully completing it and playing Perfect Dark mode levels for fun !
Will be gutted if there’s no Elvis or Skedar !
I was a huge fan of the N64 Perfect Dark. Based on the bit that has been shown, I’m excited to see what else comes next.
❤
That voice gadget looks neat, seems it'll introduce some interesting gameplay elements:)
Xbox hype is real ✅
Maybe play it. If doesn't take another year
1st "The new perfect Dark is not a perfect Dark, just uses the names and some likenesess"
Now all we need is a reboot of No One Lives Forever.
Will never happen, I'm afraid. Cate Archer and NOLF are stuck in an even worse afterlife than Development Hell: Intellectual Property Rights Limbo.
So, NOLF was developed by Monolith Productions and published by Fox Interactive, a subsidiary of 20th Century Fox. In 2003, Fox decides to quit the game industry and sells off Fox Interactive to Vivendi. In 2008, Vivendi merges with Activision. Meanwhile, in 2004, Monolith is acquired by Warner Bros.
In 2014, Nightdive Studios, well-known for remakes of classic games, decides they want to remaster NOLF and inquire about licensing. And that's how they discover: No one actually knows who owns the rights anymore. It could be Warner Bros (who acquired Monolith) or 20th Century Fox (who owned Fox Interactive) or Activision (who acquired Vivendi who acquired Fox Interactive). Also, Activision did not retain all the IPs from Vivendi. Also, also, it's possible that the rights were split up between different owners: Monolith might own the rights to the game, Fox might own the title, Warner Bros might own the engine, etc.
Nightdive offered to work with Warner Bros, Activision, and Fox to sift through all the records and sort everything out. Unfortunately, the relevant files predate computerized records. The companies don't even know where the records are - probably scattered in dusty file storage bins somewhere, if not destroyed during the many acquisitions and moves since. Warner, Activision, and Fox all declined, and Nightdive was forced to give up their plans.
So that's where NOLF sits, unfortunately. Warner, Activision, and Fox don't know if they own the rights to NOLF, and they don't care to figure out who does. _But_ they also all refuse to give up their claims of ownership - so no one else can do anything with NOLF either. Corporate logic, right there.
In the years since then, Fox was acquired by Disney and Activision merged with Microsoft. So NOLF's future will depend on how relaxed Disney and Microsoft are towards intellectual property rights ...
There is one silver lining, however. A group of dedicated fans called "NOLF Revival" have re-released all the NOLF games, updated to work on modern PCs, completely standalone and free for download. And they're still actively updating as of 2024. Because, since nobody knows who owns the rights, there's nobody who can sue for copyright infringment either.
(Fyi, for some reason, their website doesn't show up on Google results for "NOLF Revival". However, their site is still up and is completely legitimate. It's NolfRevival (dot) tk.)
How I described Perfect Dark to my buddy: Cyberpunk, but the Techno-Necromancers from Alpha Centauri are real.
My best bet is that Aliens are terraforming (extraterraforming?) Earth with the help of human corporations just so they can live on Earth too.
Do we have info on VAs? Carrington kinda sounds like Keener from The Division but I can't find anything
I have much nostalgia for the original. Mostly for the hours of multiplayer with family and friends but the campaign eas cool too.
This modern take is probably not for me. Stealth and stuff is rarely my thing, but will be interesting to see how it goes.
also "modernized"... yeee.... no thanks.
Its an intriguing reimagining, and if its on XB1 (not just Series X) I’ll probably play it
If this game is the omage to Deus Ex that it seems to be,
the single big city setting becomes possibly a good thing:
supposing they focus with success on maps,
the immersive-sim mechanics can massively benefit from that.
Thanks for your videos!
"developed by the people who did Tomb Raider"
_Me, who has seen the Tomb Raider Expleened video:_ "Uh oh."
The first two games were excellent. Only the third game was a shite.
@@420sakura1 I beg to differ.
The third TR got it's South American setting down very well, something the second game really failed to do in Siberia. It also had some of the best tombs, and they all played differently. It's just that it's narrative was so butchered, sort of like focused on the setting and then ran out of time to iron out the story. I played the game through twice, and I still don't understand what the hell was going on.
I've really liked what I've seen so far. I think the solarpunk approach could go well, and it makes a change from directly following the original's cyberpunk theme so the reboot won't appear retrofuturistic and will be distinguishable from other recent FPS titles out there. That said, I learnt a couple things from the video that stuck out in a curious way.
For one, the entire game takes place in Cairo? Eh, I think one thing that made the original unique was it's over-the-top guns and action and Joanna's ability to handle anything and any location thrown her way then and there. This smaller localation may fit well for a slower-paced FPS rpg, but by nature it immediately limits the action and the diversity of assignments. Following up on that, the video mentions that Jo's character "makes mistakes." Well, again, that could mean anything, but it sounds like they're limiting Jo's capabilities and thereby the range of missions and locations and so on. That's hardly "Perfect" Dark.
Ah well, time will tell. At least what's been shown so far looks great.
didn't pick up on the fact you are working for the bad guys from the first game and working against the good guys from the original game, surely like this video say you will end up switching sides, still holding out hope for Elvis to show up somehow
I keep seeing the shot of Joanna Dark that’s used in the thumbnail and thinking it’s Ellen. The character doesn’t really look like her, so it must be the lighting making her look all bluey-purple.
Like the thumbnail from the table top game in the wild west theme. I had to pace myself /
It kinda sounds like you’re working for DataDyne and they’re working on framing Carrington… just saying
why did elvis look like that?? he definitly did not look like that in the original game.
Nooooooo, now I have to choose between another from soft playstation exclusive or a perfect dark game >:[
I hate one console exclusive games. I’ve missed so many cool games because I can’t afford a PlayStation as well as an Xbox. 🤬
@@riveramnell143 especially with series that previously weren't exclusive
I can't freaking wait!!!!!
You are assuming that it is Daniel Carrington but all it says is Carrington so it’s not necessarily the same guy, could be a relative, a son maybe???
A lot of Deus Ex: Invisible War vibes
Wait, c'mon "near future Cairo is something new" no, lol, that was a third of Deus Ex: Invisible War!
@@jimbob8840 But IW was the worst of the main games.
I'm hopeful for it.
I know its an old ass game, BUT JESUS, SPOILERS FOR THE OLD N64 GAME! :P
They could have just called the video "6 more ways this so called remake has nothing to do with the original games to disappoint the fans". The only thing I see Crystal Dynamics doing right so far is paying so many entertaining channels to promote the game. This way, at least a few decent people will make money off of this disaster.
Coming soon to the Xbox series Y
Bruh if this doesn't turn out good I have no hope left for Xbox
I never played the original Perfect Dark but this looks really fun. It reminds me of Deus Ex
They revived Perfect Dark Core and Vengeance with this new game which is great.
As someone who read the Greg Rucka books when I was younger I was hyped to see CoreMantis OmniGlobal pop up. Excited to see where this goes.
Its MA'AM!!!
I cannot wait for when Perfect Dying Light Raider of Dutyfield finally comes out.
Just reading the perfect dark title gave me childhood flashbacks lol
Did any one notice the JD symbol at 3:22 is Jane the final boss of this game
I am so excited for this game.
Imagine waiting a long time for a proper Perfect Dark sequel, only for DEI to sink its claws into it.
She is probably a clone or something
I'm not expecting a lot, but I hope it's good game.
7:22 "Edges" is right.
Immersive sims have two outcomes
0/10 disaster or 11/10 best game you've eve rplayed
I like OG darker hair Joanna. Why do 90% of protagonists have to be blonde hair and blue-eyed?
Something that has to probably due with white supremacy or something like that
Is it just me or does the thumbnail really look like Ellen?
I bet we will have too wait a looooonnng time
Need more Jane solo
Ancient Egypt and Aliens promised to compete with long running TV shows? Ummm... Stargate anyone? 😂
Guessing change sides part way through
That intro, though... global warming: the game.
Yeah that and the Crystal Dynamics thing are a bit concerning. :/
Its giving this new game is a prequel 👀
Ugh, I loved PD64, not sure if want...
Massive tech company makes game about how massive tech companies cannot be trusted...I'm a little confused.
Cairo being a "testing ground for new technology" sounds a bit too close to what's been happening only over the border in Palestine for the past 20 years, both figuratively and literally. Bit close to the bone given current events. When the twin towers were hit everyone was desperate to not do anything that might have comparisons for a good while.
This game better have Multiplayer and Coop.
Item #8 The trailer didn’t tell us a release date.
Hell yeah, Alix Wilton Regan!!
Do you guys have nightmares about the number 7?
Dunno about the new Joanna Dark face, definitely prefer the pointy polygonal version
Who else is ready for Combat Simulator vs 8 Peace Sims set to Dark difficulty?
So what I hear is Stargate but in the future
I don't want to take sides or get placed on a side in the Joanna redesign debate, but does anyone else think her redesign kind of whitewashes Joanna's original stylised late 90s/early 2000s femme fatale leaning super spy design? A redesign was necessary, we did jump a few console generations, but Joanna used to look like she was possibly of third-generation Latina descent or some kind of Asian ancestry, with this redesign she just looks... disappointingly homogeneous.
Apparently far more so than her face model or voice actress. The redesign is not a deal breaker; after all, the game is a first-person shooter. I just hope this thoughtlessness is not indicative of the final product in full, as it appears to be a decision made without regard for the broader implications or representation the original character appealed too.
I would love this to be good. Fingers crossed
I love these conspiracy theory game plots.
Aliens? Grain Silos? Giant magnets make a river run in the wrong direction? Female protagonists aren't popular and don't sell?
“Im-perfect dark
Jane your Ellen is showing lol😂😂😂
Using the uncharted tomb raider to highlight a developer is a miss. They completely ruined that franchise and took away everything from the franchise that made it what it was and took away the basic characteristics and personality of Lara
Am i the only one who thinks she looks too much like Jesse Faden from Control? I kind of wish they took more inspiration from the Perfect Dark Zero model
Exactly!
I thought for sure that WAS Jesse until about 30 seconds ago
She looks nothing like Jesse...
Jesse looks completely different
Nobody should ever take any kind of inspiration from PD Zero, especially not that uggo character model lol
My interest in this game is a big, fat zero and i don't even know why. I was never interested in the first one either.
Fun fact: if you double tap on this comment it likes it
Here's a manual dislike for you.
No dumpdown of the main character?
She's much too fit & attractive.
I'd be more apt to purchase the game if
she were more relatable to me, a 61 yr old
fat guy.
"We're making a new Perfect Dark game, but changing everything about Perfect Dark in it."
...so they're making a new generic shooter game and slapping Perfect Dark stickers on it. Gotcha.
Think I'm okay passing on this one. Too bad, I would've loved a new Perfect Dark game...
OG perfect dark was the generic, blurry, blocky trash shooter that barely sold 2 million in its lifetime in a trash console with barely any games.
Thank god the industry is giving y'all reporters something to report on again.
