Everwild and Perfect Dark, the games MS cancelled today, were in development for like 7-8 years each with literally nothing to show for it, it's preposterous they weren't cancelled years ago. Either the developers were supremely incompetent, or Microsoft mismanaged them to an apathetic sluggish death. Both are probably true.
Perfect Dark's reveal trailer last year was also mostly just vapid FPS-ish garbage that was clearly hacked together from CGI and an idealised vertical slice. It didn't suggest anything that resembled the cool 90's techno spy vibe of the original, none of the same gameplay systems or open ended, intricate level design, gameplay objectives etc.
It looked like a generic mishmash of modern FPS trends with a cleaner colour palette and a manjawed girlboss hag of a Joanna Dark.
All the design philosophies that made those Rare/Free Radical FPS's fun are gone forever, only vaguely present in the scarce few 'immersive sims' that get released.
