In this day and age? Wouldn’t trust any Western AAA dev with it at all. There are some real bigots in the industry these days that seem to despise beautiful, heroic women. They’d probably make Joanna look androgynous and strip away all her femininity.
I enjoyed the original Perfect Dark, and I think it’s sort of a shame PDZ kinda flopped: The mechanics were clumsy, characters seemed like they were made out of rubber and it definitely could’ve used better writing. But it still had some redeeming qualities, such as the unique co-op objectives requiring players to really work together. I also prefer the younger version of Jo more: Her character design was a lot cuter, and the extended media around that time (novels and graphic novels) did a better job of fleshing out her character than the game did.
Maybe it’s good thing Perfect Dark is basically a dead franchise now, as if they think they can make money off of it, certain parasites would undoubtedly ruin it.
