Along with a few images, the Xbox website has revealed a few details about the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade port of Perfect Dark.  Take a look at the pics, then we’ll talk about the details.

As you can see, the game hasn’t received a massive graphical overhaul.  In fact, it looks pretty much like it did back in the N464 era.  If it did receive a new coat of current-gen paint, it wasn’t a very thick one.  Apparently, the game will be presented in 1080p, though, and Microsoft promises the whole thing will run at 60 fps.

Aside from the visuals, we also got a few details about the game’s modes.  In addition to head-to-head 4-player matches on a single console, there will also be 4-player online multiplayer, allowing players to fight it out over Xbox Live.  2-player co-op will also be available, meaning that pretty much every feature from the original has been retained.

While I enjoy a good retro game as much as the next 33-year-old-who’s-trying-desperateley-to-recapture-his-youth, for some reason, I don’t enjoy outdated FPSs.  This port of Perfect Dark, an unquestionably excellent and advanced title for its time, needed a little something extra to pique my interest enough for me to spend money on it, and I’m not sure that online play is enough.  Regardless, I know a lot of people are extremely excited about the return of one of the most beloved shooters ever, and online play will just be icing on the cake they were going to buy anyway.
