Perfect Dark Zero is a first-person shooter video game and a sequel to the Nintendo 64 game Perfect Dark. The game is being developed by Rare Ltd. A moderate amount of info has been released and the summary is that it will be prequel to Perfect Dark and will reveal how Joanna Dark became a secret agent.
The game made a small appearance at Spaceworld 2000, an event exclusive to Nintendo. (At the time, Nintendo had a 49% stake in Rare, making Rare a Nintendo second-party developer.) Since then, Rare has been wholly acquired by Microsoft. At the official unveiling of Microsoft's next Xbox video game console, Xbox 360, on May 12 2005, it was revealed that Perfect Dark will be a launch title for the new system in the fall of 2005 [1] (http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/611/611342p1.html). The game's development has therefore spanned three platforms: the Nintendo GameCube, the Microsoft Xbox and the Xbox 360.
Some of the early material released (particularly images such as this (http://media.xbox.ign.com/media/015/015335/img_1903585.html)) incited speculation that the title would use a less realistic, more "cartoony" graphical style than the original game; possibly the controversial cel-shading technique. More recent information has revealed that this is not the case.
