Perfect Dark getting sequel?
To say that many fans were disappointed with the Xbox 360 launch game Perfect Dark Zero is an understatement. After being out of the game for five years, a lot of gamers felt Joanna (and Rare) had lost some their mojo and didnt look very well on their first next gen outing. To be fair: The game did sell well, though, which may give credence to rumors that are floating around the Internet that shed light on a possible Perfect Dark 2.
According to Indian site GameGuru, Rare is busy working up a sequel to the original Nintendo 64 game. While the article is posted in broken English and cites only “sources,” it does say that the sequel will be a darker take on Joanna Dark and will introduce a morality system where the choices players make branch the storyline. The plot will apparently be unveiled entirely through the player’s perspective without cut scenes.
GameGuru says an official announcement will be made late next year. IGN contacted Microsoft for comment but was greeted with the standard “Microsoft does not comment on rumors and speculation” line.

The only reason PDZ sold well was because it was a launch title. Meaning, people didn’t really have a lot of choices on what to buy.
I call it the Halo effect. Halo was big for the Xbox because while it was good, there’s not much in the way of competition during its time. Because of the original’s success, the sequels enjoyed the momentum.
