Perfect Dark (N64) was and is one of my favorite games. Microsoft came along and downgraded it (in my opinion ruined) with perfect dark zero.
I still was hopeful to see the reboot for the new era of consoles. Until I saw the gameplay demo. It’s like they hired people who specifically didn’t play any Perfect Dark game. When it got axed I wasn’t surprised and was actually happy, ironically.
I personally never believed it existed. And maybe I’m jaded by the consistency but games that are great but dont already have a franchise dont come back. Someone just buys the name and puts it on their barely similar game it feels.
The marketing comes first the game comes later. I don’t play marketing.
