No release date, alas
I never played the originalPerfect Dark, but the trailer for the reboot shown during this evening’s Xbox Games Showcase instantly made it the most exciting game I’ve seen during not-E3. It’s first-person, it’s got stealth, it’s got parkour, it’s got hand-to-hand melee combat including slidekicks. It looks like a mashup ofMirror’s Edgeand something more immersive sim-y? What’s not to like.
Cor, when was the last time a big new first-person game looked to have this kind of systemic flexibility. I’m partly just relieved to see a game trailer that looks like a game, and not a cutscene that looks years away from being playable. Although, notably, there was no release date at the end of this gameplay trailer not even a year.
I will wait however long I need to in order to shimmy down a drainpipe and slidekick some men in the shins.
