Jeux-france have high res scans. Epic's UT 2006 will wipe the floor with this.

Epic's engine is mostly optimized for pcs and the next gen consoles should really be surpassing it.

How do yo uknow this before you've played it.

(I really want it to be an amazing game, but PD on the N64 was such a good game, I just don't think this can live up to it's name)

PD on n64 was a letdown. Especially the alien levels, modes and unfun multiplayer. Alot of people prefer to skip PD and remember Goldeneye.

Choze how dare you say that about Perfect Dark especially the bit about unfun multiplayer.

Goldeneye was better ask anyone. Perfect Dark is more like Timesplitters. Lots of options but little that are actually fun. I like the idea of many players. 64 players is so damn good in BF2 it should be great here. It wont top BF2 ofcourse since that game is ground up multiplayer.

Retro_Link

26-09-2005, 12:25 AM

Goldeneye was better IMO, but i also loved Perfect Dark; especially the 2 player co-op!!

As for Perfect Dark Zero; from what i've seen (obviously i've never played the game so can't be sure) i would say appears to be missing alot of the feeling of the N64 original; it seems very similar in style to Halo.

You're an idiot. "unfun multiplayer"? PD's multiplayer is one of the best ever made.

noobChris, I wouldn't be surprised if it has been delayed. But Christmas isn't that far away from the 360 launch, it could only be delayed a couple of weeks at the most...

Yeah looks alot better. At least itd not ugly now. Also its called parallax mapping not bump mapping. Standard stuff on pcs now. Rare clearly arent pushing the graphics boundaries anymore. Polygonal detail is lacking in the videos, one of the pipes in the city video was cuboid shapped lol. Kameo is much more impressive looking.

Shame no one cared for PD then ;) Most just kept playing Goldeneye or moved onto PC fps like Unreal Tournament at the time which were far superior. PD just had too many issues. I was pretty let down by it.

Perhaps its the fact that some people are always want to bring the topic around to cock-sucking - "OMG! Choze has teh Sonys cock in his mouth!!1". All the while convieniently ignoring the fact that their own mouths may not be unsullied.

While I dont condone Chozes behaviour, I find this highly ironic.

Just watched that Animation video above, and I have to say the death animations look naff.

You've got your physics there of course, but there's no weight in the limbs or the death animation as a whole.

There was some very nice texturing in the first video though, especially when the player focused on the brick wall as there was some very good depth to the texture..............very realistic.

Other than that though, it all seems a bit underwhelming, but Rare have got about another month and a half tops to iron out any flaws in which they see need tweaking.

Why does everyone have to have cocks in their mouths!? And how do Sony and NIntendo have cocks? If you're being metaphorical then please be more imaginative! :)

Game looks great in stills, average in motion. Perfect Dark was amazing though maybe a little too powerful for its own good, my N64 was busting at its seems everytime I played the thing!!

Now Kameo......That games looks incredible - ive been excited about this game ever since its first inception!! This game, more than Perfect Dark, but along with Pro Evo could make me get a 360!!!

When do people think the first reviews will start popping up? Any first impressions on Kameo from anywhere!?

TysOnToast

Back on topic, the Kameo screens look awesome. Hopefully when my friend buys his Xbox 360 and Kameo I'll be able to play it.

the main complaints from IGN were that the framerate was slow and controls felt sluggish, doesnt seem so bad to me as they assured IGN the framerate would be locked down to 30fps on release and it sounds to me like the problem was the sensitivity needed to be increased. I doubt rare bothered putting control options like that into the X05 demos.

That looked really great!!

I don't think her voice was the best, it didn't really seem to suit her IMO (but maybe that's because she's quite abit younger).

I notice however that they featured alot on the city levels and less on the jungle etc... levels.
IMO the city levels manage to retain the feel of the original Perfect Dark, whereas a number of the new areas seem to lack that same feel;
i think this is the only problem i have with the game really!

PDZ is looking like a good game, but Rare have yet to produce anything decent on MS systems. Conker Live and Reloaded was basically a remade version of Conkers Bad Fur Day on the N64 so that game don't count.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y200/aussie-nintendo/PDZ.gif : FHM.com Interview

What (virtual) dreams are made of... FHM chats to lithe, leather-clad agent JOANNA DARK

When we peruse the honey CVs for prospective FHM shoots, we usually know pretty much what to expect. A year or so illuminating a grimy soap opera, maybe. Perhaps a couple of number one singles surrounded by a bevy of similarly fit mates. Usually gravity-defying, pendulous norks that prove beyond a doubt that God exists. So we were nothing if not impressed by the resumé of this month’s special cover star, Joanna Dark. No RADA-trained thespian antics for our lass, or weekly whittling down by smug no-marks on some prime time TV pop compo. No, Joanna’s spent the last few years schlepping around the world, first as a freelance bounty hunter and now as a Perfect Agent with the Carrington Institute, going toe-to-toe with the kind of scum the local police prefer to let slip under their radar. And (bear with us here) seeing as it’s the year 2020, she fills her spare time playing the odd, high-risk game of deathmatch – she’s a big fan of the Seattle Slayers – rock-climbing, parkour and grav boarding: a cross between surfing and skateboarding, only hovering slightly above the ground. And a bit more dangerous. But bless her, a life of bullet-dodging and taking down desperados doesn’t seem to have done much lasting damage, in fact quite the opposite, it’s left her pert, cute, and very, very bendy. As good credentials as any to qualify for an FHM shoot. Plus of course, as you can see, a couple of big guns that any man would like to get their hands on.

So first up, what’s been your hairiest assignment to date?

This photo shoot for sure! I had trouble hiding my flashbangs. And surrounded by men under all those lights, damn, I got so hot!

At what age did you lose your virginity?

You know the last man who asked me that question had to drink his food through a straw for six months. Let’s stick to business, okay…

Er, sure. So talking of chaps, what do you look for in a man?

Usually his weakest point – eyes, throat, groin.

Cripes! How would you describe your fighting style?

Keen. I’m always ready to go one-on-one. I like to improvise but I can play rough-and-ready too.

Working these days as a spy, have you ever dabbled in any Mata Hari-style antics?

Well, things are a little different in 2020, but poledancing lessons are standard training for all recruits these days. There was this one time where I had to infiltrate a Caribbean hideaway where they were holding an all-female beach volleyball tournament. One of the girls was there to take out the host, but we didn’t know which one. I had to get to know them personally, go undercover and… oops! I think I’ve said too much. That mission was probably classified.

When you’re off killin’ do you select your undies for comfort, or for effect? You never know, you could get knocked down by a bus...

…Or attacked by dropship or chased by jetpacks, yeah I know. With all the kit I have to carry, I find underwear gets in the way. I go commando.

Brilliant! Describe your personal style for us…

Dress to kill.

So what sort of thing makes you grumpy?

I don’t know… running out of ammo? Taking two shots to drop someone when one would do?

Do you believe Elvis is still alive?

Sure! He’s alive and singing with the aliens isn’t he?

Wasn’t Roswell a failed attempt to abduct The King?

The guy who first photographed Elvis took the photos of the alien autopsies, that’s no coincidence.

What car do you drive?

I used to drive a dataDyne G-Class, y’know the VTOL version with the dropfoils, but I lost it when I had to ram-raid my way into a target’s penthouse suite. No one ever called me subtle. I’m big into classic cars. Right now I’m driving a Porsche Carrera GT. Of course I’ve made a few modifications, but that’s classified. If you see me in the rear view mirror, get out of the way sharpish…

What’s your favourite gadget?

My locktopus – I take it everywhere with me. It’s great for picking locks and generally getting me in all sorts of trouble.

Nice. What heat are you currently packing?

My Magsec for comfort, but out of everything in my armoury, you can’t beat the Shockwave. It’s one hell of a rifle. It’s got an X-ray scope, from a click away you can see every last bone you’re about to break.

Who’s the sexiest woman in the world?

You’re looking at her! Okay, I’m kidding. But I’ve made the cover of FHM so I must be in with a chance!

Finally, what’s your dog of choice?

Why, you wanna be my bitch?

Kinda. FHM

Shite...

As a - still avid - fan of the original, I have to say I'm absolutely gutted just by watching the trailers & gameplay mpeg's.

They've americanized the franchise... Gone is the British accent, gone is the suspense... Say hello to Halo clone no. 196875436... "only this time... it's personal"... really hurts my heart to laugh...

Even though it'll probably (or at least hopefully) have some of the gameplay grandeur of the original, let's face it: Rare isn't as "rare" a developer as it was back in the days.

I may have to change my mind on this game!

After watching this very cinematic-trailer-like movie i thought the game looked really good ( http://www.gametrailers.com/player.php?id=7973&type=mov )!

However after watching some more gameplay movies, i'm not liking it at all;

- 'showdown at the carpark' -
I didn't think it was possible for Rare to make the game so far removed from the original, but this was absolutely shocking!! Joanna looks terrible, the clothes, the setting, the games over brightness (the original was dark and moody), this whole scene with the punks on motornikes! This isn't Shenmue!!

Also i watched the advert for the game and that's terible too!

What is with Joannas cartoon like look?? it makes her not really fit in with the rest of the game! and the settings and overall wierd colours and brightness of the game aren't good!

Over at IGN in the 360 section the 2 Xbox 360 editors say it's a "love it or hate it" game!

One that shouldn't be compared to Halo!

Sounds like it is a little "far-removed" from the original!

That FHM thing is fucking sad.

A decent game and character has turned into some sort of geeky Lara Croft style sex idol and it's just fucking pethetic.

Microsoft will have paid megabucks for Ms Dark to be on the cover, Lara Croft kinda did it on her own if you get my drift.

Have you watched any of the gameplay movies that have been posted in this thread?
In some of them the game looks simply terribly and NOTHING (NOTHING) like the original!
Just watch 'showdown at the carpark'!

The only good thing about that is you can see the bulge in her chest when it goes into third-person (that is this game?).

Well IGN have posted more gameplay impressions

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/657/657501p1.html

Overall the graphics were solid though there were the occasional framerate hiccups. The controls remained tight, the reload animations very flashy, and the sounds immersive. This launch title is definitely looking to be a first rate game, we'll have more as it comes.

Gametrailers also have a couple new vids up, one of a multiplayer battle and another single player. Both looking very nice may i add!

Any doubts about this game have been put to bed now, Rare may well be back! MUST-HAVE!
