General Discussion / Perfect Dark Cancellation - Re...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 05:38:30 PM
I had a lot of other things I was focused on in 2025.  I have either forgot or totally missed the news that Perfect Dark was cancelled and the studio that was creating it was shut down.

Article: https://gamerant.com/perfect-dark-reboot-canceled-the-initiative-closed-down-xbox-microsoft/

I have not 100% verified, but it sounded like Take-Two Interactive tried to save a version of the game but that also broke down.

Are you disappointed this game was not rebooted?  To me, it's crazy that certain titles like this that were once MASSIVE titles have been shuttered.  I know the 2005 Perfect Dark Zero was met with mediocre reviews.  I tried to like it back on the Xbox 360, but just couldn't.  There was also another 2008 project, Perfect Dark Core, but that was cancelled.

At this point, it looks like we will no longer get any Perfect Darks.  What are your thoughts on the cancellations?  Again, I know it was last year, but catching up to a few things.

Thoughts, comments, post it up!

That's why I was asking LOL...  Maybe you found some ultra thick cut of bacon that works well.   BTW... did you bring enough to share with everyone @retro junkie  ;D

@BLUEVOODU
bacon is very tricky to grill. you must prepare a pan to put it in. Then it is smoked on the grill until done. Very very very good. If you place bacon directly on the grill it will look like a burnt match.

@targetrasp  -  I need to check out those games as well.

it sounds like everyone had a pretty great 4th of July.  We ended up cooking Flat Iron Steaks.  I haven't done that in a long time.  EVEN that particular cut of beef has gone way up in price.   

@retro junkie bacon on the grill as well?

@mastermario  --> last time we played Cornhole... I think it was at Corner Pocket lol  :))

@BLUEVOODU

It is interesting to note that Visco released games for the Neo Geo. And apparently they still hold the rights. There are a bunch of games on these carts that are Neo Geo games.

I hear you, @retro junkie.  We have a few situations going on and am about to tighten the belt a bit more.  I don't have a cool scenario where I pre-ordered Two Visco Arcade releases though lol  :great:

So, hard, to, not, buy, it, now  ???
