All joking aside, I really never thought I would see the day, it is great.

I'm half excited. Super awesome that my X1 is starting to become relevant, but at the same time I was REALLY hoping that they had smoothed the controls over a little.
I know that it plays exactly as it's 360 and N64 counterparts before it, but PD is one of those games that could use an optimizations pass.

Yeah but once you start messing with controls you are starting to change the game, better keeping things how they were IMO.

I thought it kinda DID get an optimization with that title update that locked the sight to the center of the screen and such. When I first got my hands on the XBLA version the controls irked me mostly because things felt so floaty but that was fixed to the point of, well, fixed once that first patch came out. Lock Sight was a big part of that.

Well what I mean is that you can still feel how the controls are "locked" to an up/down and left/right axis. Even though the modern version has been changed to work with two analog sticks, it still feels like only 1 stick and four C-buttons are in play.
I was hoping they would smooth that over so that the controls felt more like a modern shooter with proper diagonals and less...rigidity.
It would change the way the game is played, yes, but it would change it in a good way. It would be more fluid and less janky.

Sucks this is for preview program members only. I'd try to sign up so I could test some other games, but I don't want to beg somebody for an invite nor do I want to wait weeks for MS's approval. Who knows when the rest of us will be getting this. Nice to see PD up and running on the Xbone though.

I've done the begging. I've been invited, I just need to be accepted. Then I'll stream Perfect Dark on my Xbox One.
I imagine backwards compatibility could come as early as mid September, and as late as December.
It really sucks Microsoft arguably biggest announcement of E3 is available to a select few of the population for months. I wish they would just to a territory thing and if the Xbox Preview people don't encounter any real issues after a week, make it available to North America, if a week goes by after that, and no issues, go worldwide.
It feels like torture that people are using this feature on right now, I know beta testing is important but I feel like this particular beta was in large part, unsolicited, and only for the Xbox fanboys. I didn't even know about it until roughly a week ago.
