Leaker Compares New Perfect Dark Game to John Wick

The action in Joanna Dark's latest Perfect Dark mission will allegedly take a cue from Keanu Reeves' popular action movie series.

The report comes from Twitter user and XboxEra Podcast host @Shpeshal_Nick whose latest post teased the gameplay in the Perfect Dark reboot. His post was in response to a quote from The Initative saying the studio was trying to differentiate the gameplay by focusing on "spy fighting" as opposed to just relying on traditional FPS design. Nick added to this, saying the action would be "almost 'John Wick-esque'" at release.

So new WET?

So new WET?

*WHEEEET*

[Clover904]

Wow, this sounds very interesting

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Yeah, it will suck.

I'm not liking this either.

John Wick is CoD. Perfect Dark should be slower paced and more cerebral.

That being said, this Nick leaker said Sony pulled some game from their Sept show because he leaked it. He seems to be a clown.

 

[Calverz]

Sounds pretty fucking cool.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Elvis the alien and Mr. Blonde shouting "youbitch!" as you shoot him in the nuts protecting President Nobama does not a John Wick film make.

 

[ShirAhava]

No quicker way to get me to lose all interest in something than to say its like John Wick

 

[Concern]

This nick guy just wont stfu now huh? Lol


Just going to keep throwing shit at the wall till something sticks. Never even heard of him till just a couple weeks ago.

Not seen jon wick but its an odd way to describe gameplay.

Its a medium where driving a car is absolutely nothing like driving a car. Can games be like pepsi or warm water?

Unless ofcourse they are trying to say its a shaky cam piece of shit (headache inducing and leaves you seeing nothing) in which case I can close my eyes and bang my head on the wall for free...

 

[Kimahri]

If they can pull that off then hell yeah.

 

[sircaw]

Jesus christ i hope not, went to the cinema and saw john wick 3, it was, is like the world's most boring film.

Was hoping for a no-one lives forever/ James bond type of game.

 

[Revolutionary]

So it's really stupid?

 

[BootsLoader]

Perfect dark without a nice story is nothing, so I hope they nailed the story part first.
I remember playing Perfect Dark 64 which was jaw dropping for its era. Do you think they can manage making a good PD game?

 

[Hobbygaming]

Seeing this John Wick quote and then reading the letters FPS

 

[reksveks]

Expecting alot of martial arts and parkour then.

Mirrors edge plus gun play?

 

[jaysius]

So it's really stupid?

John Wick 1 is one of my favorite movies, top 10, maybe top 5, full of class and style, amazing action sequences, the right length, great story, just enough quirk.

The other John Wicks went balls deep into the dumbest anime style mentality bullshit.

What happened was the first movie was made by 2 people, the sequels the one guy, I guess the genius left.

The 2nd and 3rd movie is so long and fucking boring and just keeps reusing dumb shit, lacks almost all the style of the first one. They both have world building that's just pure trash without any real fun.

John Wick in a nutshell:

 

[Punished Miku]

More grappling and melee then. Sounds neat. Hope 3rd person is optional.

I think for something like this to work it needs to be 3rd person.

Think Max Payne on steroids.

 

[Papacheeks]

Until I see a gameplay trailer this nick dude is trying so hard because 1 playstation event is all everyone is talking about.

And also listened to his last podcast that had mvg on it, he seems super salty on some things.

I would not also quote Klobrille. Guy has been wrong on a lot.

To me I would only talk/leak something substantial and of worth.

 

[Porcile]

It would be so refreshing to have a modern game that expanded on the semi open style of Goldeneye, Perfectly Dark and Timesplitters 2. Why was this form of FPS completely buried?

 

[Magnific0giganticus]

 

[Ogbert]

Just give Perfect Dark to Arkane.

 

[Darlingcognito]

Its just geusswork wtf

 

[Little Chicken]

Nice, I'm glad they don't feel chained to the past by fans like Halo is.

 

[Hendrick's]

So bullet time confirmed?

 

[Cert.in.Death]

I take this to mean that there was one good one and we really wish we could take back what we’ve done since.

 

[Umbasaborne]

Cool, i genuinley hope this comes togeather well and is good. But microsoft has a nasty habbit of revealing projects way too early only to have them fall apart at the finish line (ie halo infinite, crackdown 3…)

 

[onnextflix5]

Fps with hand combat, lol dont think there is ever been a good game with that combination, lets hope they think again.

 

[Jigsaah]

Betchu it's nothing like John Wick.

 

[levyjl1988]

Hopefully, they make Joanna Dark attractive in this game and not hit by the Woke bat like Lara Craft was.

 

[DForce]

*guy pretending to have inside information.

 

[RoadHazard]

So Joanna is just gonna violently and senselessly murder everyone she meets? Sure, that sounds true to character.

(I love those movies.)

 

[DavidGzz]

The fewer FPS games, the better.

 

[Fart Knight]

So new WET?

Perfect WAP

 

[Spukc]

wet

 

[Leyasu]

Yeah. This guy is as much an insider as I am

 

[BlackTron]

It's not senseless.

THERE WAS A DOG OK

 

[fallingdove]

Really hope this isn’t true. Then again, given Microsoft’s overabundance of FPS games, John Wick style action movie style twitch shooter was among the only boxes they hadn’t checked:

Roguelite FPS: Check
Vampire FPS: Check
Futuristic Demon-hunting FPS: Check
Space Non-RPG FPS: Check
Space RPG FPS: Double Check
Medieval Fantasy RPG FPS: Double Check
Action Movie FPS: [ ]
Geriatric Mountain Climbing FPS: [ ]
Feeding Dogs Icecream FPS: [ ]

 

[Plantoid]

Can't judge based on this, but it's the star team behind it... But also their first release.. I don't know what to think, need some gameplay

 

[Sosokrates]

Cool, plain fps gameplay is boring with some twist.

 

[Markio128]

 

[Dream-Knife]

Hope not, but if so I'll continue to believe the franchise is a single N64 game.

 

[Kokoloko85]

You know what would be unique…
A 1st person shooter with level design like Golden Eye, Perfect Dark and Time Splitters. Its been awhile since we got once of those

 

[Rippa]

Seeing this John Wick quote and then reading the letters FPS

Exactly!

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

I'm extremely excited to see what this game looks/plays like.

As long as the spy aspect with cool gadgetry is left intact, I think the John Wick esque stuff can be really cool

 

[carlosrox]

Cool I guess but I hope it's not as overrated as John Wick is.

People act like it's the first fuckin' action movie ever made or something.
