Fans have been thrilled to learn that Perfect Dark XBLA will be released by the end of the year. It will support 1080p, will run at 60 frames per second and will offer all the original content plus some extra Xbox LIVE features.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Weeks ago)

I've been waiting for this to be released for aaaaages, so I'm ecstatic that it's finally happened. I'm going to be playing the heck out of this come release.
DAY -1
I never played the original.
However today it's obviously out of time... FPS standards have changed so if you're an actual FPS addict you won't like it so much...
It's much more retro style relevant, all fans will be glad to re-play with their favourite game :)
That said, wtf is wrong with indulging yourself in some retro nostalgia? I regularly play retro games and if you can appreciate them for what they are, then it is very good entertainment. Day 1 purchase for sure. Especially if the (counter) coop is xbl enabled as well.
And at 60FPS? That's ten times it's original framerate! It will practically be a whole new game ;)

And this image is obviously emulated, what with teh high resolution and everything...
It had absolutely TONS to do in it. Single player replayability, co-op replayability, game modes that you hadn't seen before and haven't seen since. Totally content packed to the point where the cart should've exploded.
Sometimes, even though it's easy to forget, there just has to be an acknowledgement of what something got irrefutably right and thus ended up a landmark in history. Unless you wanna sound like this:

For all the technology available today, the majority of current games lack something fundamental which games like Perfect Dark had: the 'fun factor'.
Either way, can't wait for some 16 player deathmatches in the Facility on Live :)
I still remember that weapon which had a missile that you directed yourself. Hilarious usually ensued.
Anyway, on to PD. Sure it's almost 10 years old now, and sure enough it has aged. However, compare it to the likes of PD Zero and I know which one I'd rather be spending full price on. The only thing that will detract from this game today is it's graphics. That's it. Of course the lack of physics will bring it down somewhat also, but the gameplay is as raw and refined as it gets in any FPS console shooter there is to date. Yes, that's today and not then. If any game was worth the points on XBLA, it's this. To say I'm extatic about the release is an understatement. Now, if only Nintendo would stop being greedy bastards and let them port Goldeneye. Perfecto.
