This week on Critical Arcade, Nick and Dave adjust their sensitivity sliders (and immediately regret it) as they dive deep into the stylish, suspicious, and surprisingly prophetic world of Perfect Dark. Set in the far-flung future of 2023, the game casts them as elite Carrington Institute agent Joanna Dark, a super-spy with a cooler name than everyone else in the building and an arsenal that seems designed by a mad scientist with a grudge against balance.What starts as a routine corporate espionage job against tech giant dataDyne quickly spirals into a full-blown conspiracy involving rogue AIs, secret government agencies, mind-controlled soldiers, and an interstellar war between alien factions who are way too invested in Earth politics. From sneaking through poorly lit offices and secret labs to escaping flying alien temples and stealing hover bikes, Nick and Dave follow Joanna as she uncovers the truth behind dataDyne's shady experiments and the alien Skedar, who are absolutely not here to make friends.Along the way, they'll wrestle with famously aggressive enemy AI, guards who can hear footsteps through concrete walls, and guns that reload themselves because… the future. Can Dave keep track of the plot once Elvis the Grey Alien becomes a main character? Will Nick ever stop complaining about aiming with a controller while simultaneously insisting it's "part of the charm"? Join them as they unravel conspiracies, praise the soundtrack, curse the difficulty spikes, and ask the important question: was Perfect Dark ahead of its time… or just deeply committed to ruining your evening? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Star Trek has found its new Bones and Sulu, yet we have to wait a while before we actually see them. The video game industry lost a true legend, and we salute everything Vince Zampella brought us. Marvel goes back to what it knows for Doomsday, and Macauly decides what is and isn't a Christmas Movie. Plus we may have to wait a little longer for 007's video game return.
In today's Daily Fix:Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma has commented on the collaboration between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo on the Hyrule Warriors games. Aonuma said that while he hoped the next main series Zelda game would be the Switch 2's first, some elements from Age of Imprisonment did inspire parts of his upcoming game. In Xbox news, the actor who portrayed Joanna Dark in the cancelled Perfect Dark reboot said she did 'entire chapters' of mocap for the game. She confirmed there was a plan to salvage a 'slimmed' down version, but ultimate the project was cancelled. And finally, the upcoming Honda Afeela car will be able to remotely play PlayStation 5 consoles, provided you have a PS5 turned on at home, similar to how the PlayStation Portal's remote play works.. The upcoming EV, produced in collaboration with Sony, is up for pre-order now for the low price of $89,900.

As we roll into the end of 2025, Xbox feels like it's in the weirdest place it's ever been.In this episode of Game Pass or Pass, we sit down and talk through the massive shift Microsoft made at the start of October 2025: the full Xbox Game Pass revamp with new tiers (Essential, Premium, and Ultimate), the 50% price hike on Ultimate to $29.99/month, the jump in PC Game Pass pricing, and the confusing split between day-one releases on Ultimate versus “within a year” access on other tiers. We break down what each tier actually gets you now, how that compares to just a couple of years ago, and why the current structure feels so wild and hard to message to normal players. We also dig into the broader context that got Xbox here: another major round of layoffs, around 9,000 jobs across Microsoft with thousands tied to Xbox; the closure of The Initiative; and the cancellation of high-profile first-party projects like Perfect Dark and Everwild, plus heavy cuts at Turn 10 and other studios. We talk honestly about how all of that undercuts the “we care about creators” messaging, and how it collides with Microsoft's push toward a more PC-centric, multi-platform strategy where Xbox games show up on PlayStation, Switch, and Windows as services rather than true console exclusives. From there, we zoom out and look at where Game Pass sits going into 2026:Is Ultimate still worth the money after the price hikes and restructuring? PC Gamer+1Does the new tier setup actually give players “more choice,” or just more confusion? What does Game Pass look like in a world where Microsoft is clearly prioritizing Windows, cloud, and publishing on competing hardware over building a strong console identity?We close the episode by looking across the aisle at PlayStation's future hardware plans. Sony's CFO is now on record saying PS5 is only “in the middle of its journey,” while leaks and reporting continue to point toward a PlayStation 6 sometime in the later part of this decade and a Switch-style PS6 handheld that's designed around backward compatibility with PS4 and PS5 titles. We talk about what a PS6 and PS6 handheld could mean for Xbox's next console, and whether Microsoft's current moves put them in a better place for that fight—or a weaker one. By the end of it, we're asking a simple question with a messy answer: Is Game Pass still the best deal in gaming, or is Microsoft burning a lot of goodwill right as the next generation starts to come into view?

Released towards the end of the Nintendo 64's lifespan in 2000, Perfect Dark was the culmination of several years of FPS development on consoles. After Rare released Goldeneye in 1997, they wanted to take another spin at the formula, but this time with an original IP. Enter Perfect Dark, featuring many of the cornerstones of FPS design that defined Goldeneye, but far more refined.The game featured more varied level design, a ridiculous selection of weapons, improved enemy AI (with a wider range of reactions to damage) and more advanced scripting. No longer tied down to realism, Rare was free to throw in sci-fi weapons and surreal alien environments. And this extended to the story as well, which went to some absolutely wild places.But for all its improvements upon Goldeneye, is there a fatal flaw at the heart of N64 FPS design? Or is it just an awkward middle child, playing in the shadows of both the PC behemoths and the specter of Halo?On this episode, we discuss:Level DesignPerfect Dark retains the mission structure of Goldeneye, with multiple objectives set in short and sharp missions. Do the improved and better explained mission objectives bring a clarity to the mission design that Goldeneye lacked, or is it still confusing and incoherent?GunsPerfect Dark has an absolute plethora of weapons, from guided rocket launchers to wallhack alien sniper rifles. Does its wide variety of weapons provide a deep and replayable moment to moment gameplay experience, or is it undone by its identity as a hitscan FPS?EnemiesMost of the enemies you face in Perfect Dark are regular humans, who die in a single headshot. What does the game do to add challenge and variety to the FPS hitscanning experience of clicking on heads, and is it way too easy with a mouse and keyboard?We answer these questions and many more on the 134th episode of the Retro Spectives Podcast!—Intro Music: KieLoBot - Tanzen KOutro Music: Rockit Maxx - One point to anotherPerfect Dark OST: Grant Kirkhope—What was your favourite level in Perfect Dark? Are there any indie FPS games coming out (or already out) that are evocative of its design? Did you find there was anything at all remotely redeeming about the story?

Forza bros, rejoice! After plenty of speculation, rumors, and eventual leaks, Forza Horizon 6 has finally been announced at Tokyo Game Show 2025. Joining me is honorary Duke, Sir Bradley Ellis, to discuss all things Forza and more in the world of gaming! It has been long anticipated that Playground would take the franchise to Japan and now that it's finally happening, we have a lot to go over. Landing in 2026, this will be hitting Xbox and PC first, which already lands a little out of the realm of our expectations. When is the inevitable PlayStation port? We dive into just that. Moreover, Playground may end up being the 2026 darling for Xbox if Fable and Forza hit in the same year. Matty and Brad dig into their expectations for 2026 where no doubt there will be a double feature including these two. Beyond that, we dive into the recent State Of Play, the new OD gameplay, more leaked details on Perfect Dark's episodic format, and much more!

Week of: 9-1-2025 Xbox Gaming News, Releases, and A Fun Fact
Today in news that we wish we never knew about: Xbox's reboot of Perfect Dark was nearly saved! Their dance partner? Take Two Interactive who serves as publisher of Rockstar. Yes, indeed, a recent report states that these two were working out a deal similar to Xbox selling off Tango Gameworks alongside the Hi Fi Rush IP to Krafton in order to help the company. Unfortunately, a falling out between both sides occurred over an IP ownership dispute. Now, Perfect Dark is doomed to sit in "IP Jail" with many of Xbox's other abandoned properties. At least Banjo has some company now.

Sony is going to have a State of Play this week focused on 007 First Light with a deep dive of over 30 minutes of gameplay footage.
