Guys, it is new IP. I've heard it from sources I can't disclose, but the game will be called Joanna Dark: A Perfect Carrington Institute Adventure.
I'm kind of saddened and excited at the same time if it is indeed Perfect Dark. This and a Fable reboot could be great games but I also think Microsoft has had nothing but bad luck or poor management when it comes to new IP's. They should still keep going in that direction though. Everwild is nice and all but I want more AAA new IP's.
Yes Rod left and guess where he went? To go work with Blizzard and help the Diablo franchise.
You're mad because you couldn't get your shit straight, that's cool.
Phil said the studio head of TI was given a blank canvas and that he was considering something new vs revisiting something from the past.
Given Darrell Gallagher's work on the Tomb Raider reboot, it's not that hard to imagine he could have wanted to reimagine another IP.
The Initiative is a newly formed studio. I think it is a great idea to kickstart a new studio by providing them with an established IP while growing and hiring talent.
Of course, one could argue to what extent Perfect Dark is an established IP.
Though, working on an old IP is perfectly fine as a first project. You just have to let the studios work on something else in the future and not be tied to the IP, which is something The Coalition is struggling with right now imo.
Speaking of The Coalition, wasn't there a rumor that they were working on Perfect Dark?

I see a lot of talk about Perfect Dark. Has it been heavily rumored that The Initiative's project is Perfect Dark?

Long time ago. But whats being going on since then it seems that Coalition is in some way "involved' with the project. In what capacity we need to wait.
Maybe they've retooled some of the stuff from the new IP The Coalition was working on before being turned into Gears Studio?

Let me guess your favorite games this gen are new IP such as Uncharted 4, God of War and Spider Man right ?
Its been rumored that it is a TPS reboot/(sequel?) of Perfect Dark
Rumor was they were helping out on the multiplayer.
User Banned (1 Week) - Continued trolling & Thread derailment
So you have a company known for basically making shit up to drum up fanbase support and you guys are all like TRUST PHIL.
Stockholm is real.
Third person would be great if it ends up being Perfect Dark. But is it from a reliable source?
You're right, those aren't real games for real pro gamers.
I'm pretty sure he only said that it wasn't called Shangheist.
He's mistaken. Shangheist was once thrown around on forums as the codename for Black Tusk's project. Phil only deconfirmed that it was called Shangheist at one point.
I'd say as reliable as everything else, its just rumors that have been kicking around for the past year or two (?).
Microsofts event should be coming in less than a month now (maybe even next week), so we should find out soon.
If you knew anything about me. Which you should I am awesome my list of favorite games this generation are as follows:
1) Bloodborne
2) Astrobot
3) FH3
4) God of War
5) R6:SIEGE
6) Until Dawn
7) Bloodstained
8) Celeste
9) BOTW
10) HZD
It seems like The Initiative has the potential to create and deliver the most "PlayStation" experience for Xbox yet.
Can't wait to see what they have got cooking up.
You're coming across as quite upset that an old franchise is being revived. It's quite strange.
What's Shangheist? I'm talking about the trailer they showed at E3 2013.
4 New IP`s in five months
- Everwild
- Tell Me Why
- Grounded
- Project Mara
But...
You think Phil would lie about a project for the internet? How would he even manage that internally with the "supposed" team ? Your going into conspiracy theory territory, yikes.
I'm confused by the people annoyed with Perfect Dark since it isn't new IP. It has been dormant for so long that it's perfect - it hits the nostalgia for long-time fans while being completely revamped for modern gaming. For most people, it might as well be new IP. For the rest, it will be a callback to Xbox's history while offering a completely fresh take on a dormant franchise.
Basically. I don't see the problem. It's so old many will see it as a new IP. You're bringing an old IP into modern times. Don't think you're getting what you got back then to shit on it
Ooh I didn't know that it was sort of an open secret PD was being worked on, this all sounds great!
Tbf there has been a long-running beef between Perfect Dark and Soulsborne fans ever since Perfect Dark Zero won that award for being the most hardcore title of last generation, I imagine a lot of this stems from that.
(And rightly so tbh, Perfect Dark Zero dark agent was way harder than Dark Souls).

Ok cool. I hope it's going to have strong stealth mechanics. There's definitely more room for TPS/stealth games in the industry (damn Splinter Cell never coming out!).
Yeah, can't wait for the reveal event and luckily it's going to be soon. I think Microsoft has the potential to surprise a lot of people with their XGS games.
Only Stockholm that matters
Hahaha oh I love you Etta she is indeed
Haha this is likely it.
Bro you can't use that against me and make me feel warm and fuzzy don't sap me from my strength to fight a stupid argument what else am I going to do today!
