It might not be GoldenEye (http://www.techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3130586), but Rare is almost set to release Perfect Dark (http://www.techtalkboards.com/do/gameOverview?cId=3171327) on the Xbox Live Arcade. Earlier today, at Microsoft's X10 event, it was announced (http://www.techtalkboards.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177917) that Perfect Dark would be among the four Arcade games released in March as a part of the Xbox Live Arcade Block Party. Now, we have both a video of Microsoft Game Studios' Ken Lobb playing the game and a confirmation that the game will cost 800 Microsoft Points ($10).
In the video, Lobb mentions that the project started about a year ago. He also discusses a number of key features that Perfect Dark fans will be ecstatic to hear about -- not only does the game now support up to 8 players, but everything you'd expect to be online (co-op, counter-op, and competitive multiplayer) is on Live. The game runs at 1080p and 60 frames per second, and controls much like the original game; the yellow c-buttons have essentially just been mapped to the right analog stick.
Judging by how well the game seems to be playing in the video, combined with a very reasonable price point and online support, it looks like Perfect Dark is going to be a must buy for classic FPS fans when it's released next month.
