    Honestly, its probably a good thing they canceled it. They were going to butcher that perfect game.

    But also FYI, Perfect Dark is available on Nintendo Switch Online as a Nintendo 64 +17 Mature title, along with Turok and Turok 2

      The best way to play it is with mouse & KB using the 1964 emulator GEPD version, imo.

      Is it a good port? I really enjoy turok 2 on PS4, would love to play perfect dark on something better than an N64.

        Sorry. Im not sure what would make it a good or bad port. Im not familiar with what the differences would be.

        It was originally released on N64 and the Switch Online N64 mode seems fine. It feels like the original game.

          Yeah, can see that question is vague. Lots of remakes / remasters in recent years, some amazing, and some garbage. Didnt want to invest in this and be pissed off about it.

          Watched a few youtube reviews and sounds like something I’d enjoy.

        You should play the Project64 GEPD project.

        A customised emulator setup specifically to run Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark in 60fps, widescreen support, keyboard and mouse controls, support for HD texture packs.

        IMHO it’s the definitive way to experience these games on modern hardware. I’ve tried running both on my steam deck and the controls just don’t translate well to a comfortable experience so prefer this.
