Why I think Perfect Dark has the potential to be Microsoft's God Of War

I think your confusing some things here why perfect dark was a succes back than and why god of war is still a succes today
perfect dark was only popular for being one of the first fps multiplayer shooters with more features and with really good grapics for it's time. The characters story etc are nothing special and where actually packed in terms of this genre these days. Perfect dark is gonna be trash nowadays having to compete with all the other stuff. it has nothing unique going for it aside from the very title itselves.
God of war however is a genre that ain't jampacked and the characters are excellent. You got a notable mascot and you are high budget in a subgenre that isn't packed to the max. since the beginning god of war has been something unique with a solid cast. Perfect dark ain't that and games that came afterwards perfected the genre you got pretty much nothing left. Perfect dark was only popular for being one of the first of it's kind. so it has no unique gameplay and it has no good cast/mascot + lore to carry the ip
Stick with Halo with this one LMFAO. cause at least ye got a good mascot to try and fight within the fps realm. also I'd argue halo did a far better gig at the time for being impactfull/ addicting in terms of gameplay. aside from creating decent lore in which more people stick to the series. Just cause a game did something decent early doesn't mean it's gonna be good material to make something good out of it. need more factors than just being an early bird that did the genre bare bones and it probably wasn't even the best at the time with golden eye and doom being right there. it was mainly just good grapics at the time + extra features which both are no shortage off in the current era. Perfect dark really lacking in terms of license/cast. and while the music is good it's not as good as the other ones.
