Remember that rumor from yesterday involving Forza 3? Well, at that same get-together in Brazil, someone apparently snapped an image of a game listing for Perfect Dark on XBLA and sent it to Destructoid. The image itself looks legit, and features the same thumbnail Rare had leaked back in early April.
That's where the story ends. This one lone image is all we have to go on right now, but based on Rare bringing its other N64 titles -- Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie -- to XBLA, we're confident that this won't be the last time we hear about the game.

Bean is the codename for the XBLA version of Goldeneye 007.

That would be cool. I never had a chance to play PD on the N64.

I have an N64 and an expansion pack sitting in my closet. And still, I wait for better anti-aliasing, achievments, and a comfortable controller.
I'm okay with that.

There were 4 of us ages ago that played the hell out of Perfect Dark on N64 like nobody's business. I tried moving them over to Time Splitters 2 on the GC with no success. Don't think they could handle the difference in speed :P God I hope they make a Time Splitters 3 someday.

I pray that you can ban the Farsight this time round. That crap was cheap. X-Ray Scope, shoots through walls, 1-shot kills, turns you into an AIMBOT... seriously, that was cheap.

I never got to experience the greatness that was PD.
Although I did love Goldeneye. It's too bad Rare hasn't made a game of their former quality lately...

PDZ sucked, terrible plot, lousy unimaginative gameplay, no resemblance whatsoever to the previous Perfect Dark game other than using some of the same names on characters who look nothing like their original counterparts. Rare took one of the best FPS games ever made and churned out a generic, boring, and just not very fun sequel that was at best an abuse of the original license.
Sorry, had to. I was just *really* disappointed by PDZ.
Anyways, list of things I want in PD XBLA:
- Slightly improved textures and models
- Native 1080p and 720p rendering
- 8x AA and 16x AF
- Online multiplayer, including a matchmaking system (maybe rankings)
- True dual analog controls with adjusted autoaim
- Solid 60FPS framerate at all times
- Small bugfixes from the original N64 game

Cool. Never really did play PD that much, however I was master at GoldenEye (if they bring this over to XBLA w/online multiplayer I may have to buy a 360).

I'd imagine it would be easier to play with an N64 controller, but maybe because that's what I'm used to for this game.
Controls should work well with 360 controller, as long as they're customizable.
The real question is... How on a 360 do you unlock the cheats that required the N64 Transfer Pak with Perfect Dark GBC inserted?

I would like to see more Dreamcast remakes. Toy Commander, Re-Volt, Chu-Chu Rocket, Jet Grind Radio, Shenmue are a few I can think of right now. Most are probably small enough to meet space requirements too. A boy can dream...
I never played much N64. That crazy controller really intimidated me.

I'm pretty sure the Bean Project was Goldeneye for XBLA. They used the PDZ image just to make it more secretive. http://mundorare.com/news/2008/02/goldeneye-007-is-not-getting-reincarnated-on-a-different-game/

I actually enjoyed playing Perfect Dark over Goldeneye.

So, I absolutely do not care about any 360 retail exclusives, but XBLA is looking really good:
Castle Crashers
Virtual On
Perfect Dark
some others that I can't remember right now...
Even stuff like Vigilante 8 which I had some fun with on N64 are there.
Too bad 360's are so ridiculously expensive, though... :(

Arcade: $200 + $100 hard drive + $100 Wi-Fi adapter = $400
Pro: $300 + $100 Wi-Fi adapter = $400
Elite $400 + $100 Wi-Fi adapter = $500
The minimum price of a 360 is $400. Don't bullshit me saying I could go without a hard drive or Wi-Fi.

Or people that don't want to run a long ass cable all around the house, or multiple long ass cables when you use your console at multiple TVs, like me.
By the way, I don't see why people are voting me down. I'm not buying another $400/$500 system, guys. It's got to get cheaper, first.
