Perfect Dark on XBLA

[RCBH928]

is there any point in plying the original now?
I got it and still didn't play it

[Niode]

Erm... Dunno. Personally I'd kill to be able to play it properly so I'm probably still going to keep my Perfect Dark copies just for when I fancy playing it properly. However the entire game is there and nothing is missing so far. Online play is buggy, but hopefully that will get fixed soon.

Thats just poor form.

s1mplehumar, Hifeno is on the site, just pm him. He does the mod for the PS3 and 360 controllers, its just not cheap.

Many thanks.

Not possible sadly. Microsoft own the rights to Rare's assets (the game code and any other non-ip content they put into the game). Nintendo own the rights to the game as a whole since they subsidised it out to Rare to create (the licence was bought and owned by Nintendo) and now Activision own the rights to the James Bond licence. It was rumoured to come out on digital distribution formats a while ago but none of the three parties involved could come to an amicable agreement.

tl;dr Not going to happen.

:::UPDATE:::

Perfect Dark Being Updated Next Month

It appears that Rare will mend and tweak Perfect Dark next month with the following updates:

- The bug with the "Tools of the Trade" achievement that keeps players from being awarded the gamer points will be fixed.
- Legacy and Southpaw controls are being added.
- Players will be able to swap triggers.
- Aim sensitivity sliders are being added.
- Solo and Team "Hardcore" playlists are being added that remove radar and auto-aim. This is great. I HATE radar!

YES!! Finally a company that listens to complaints and fixes their games. Godamn it's a miracle.

Shame my fucking 360 is deader than a dodo right now thanks to RRoD.

Crazy stuff indeed. I NEVER expected Rare to address the aiming and trigger complaints.

Sorry to hear 'bout the 360, Niode. Fix that thing!

Patch is live....as of the 6th this month Anyone up for some racketboy tourney action? I've messed with the new aiming tweaks a bit - it's definitely improved significantly.

Ill be downloading it sometime this week then. I was thinking about Perfect Dark yesterday (I was at my uncles house and we use to play Goldeneye and Perfect Dark there at parties back in the day), but thanks to Lost I didnt buy it yesterday.
