Perfect Dark Zero. Launch Title For The Xbox 360.

I disagree. Yes, it was infuriating to get the "blurry vision" but it wore off after a while. Several times I was hit with the "blurry/red vision", and still managed to come back and win multiplayer matches.

 

Well, in my own experience, it didn't degrade the gameplay that much for me. Yeah, I often died soon after, but that was usually because some DarkSim was the one punching me (and would continue to punch me until I was no more). Either way, if you could get away from your attacker and stand still for a long enough time, the blurriness would go away, or diminish enough for me to find a nice little hole to defend - usually successfully.

EDIT: Speaking of PD0, my buddy told me he read in the july issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly that they are planning to release PD0 simulataneously on XBox360, Gamecube, and (?) N64. I told him he was full of ****, but in all honesty, I haven't read the issue. Seems like something strange to lie about, but I can't say that I even remotely believe it (especially since Rare is owned by Micro$oft now). Anyone else heard this rumor?

 

especially since Rare is pwned by Micro$oft now

I hope that was intended

 

I just bought EGM today, I saw no mention of PD0 being made for the GC or N64. Though they did talk about the production of PD for the N64 briefly.

 

Supposedly we'll be able to DL all the games for previous N systems for Revolution, so one of the first I'll get is PD. I really wish this was coming out for some system other than XB... computer perhaps. Sigh.

EDIT: EDIT'd!!!

 

Are XBox 360 games going to work on the first XBox?

I'm new to the whole video game thing, and I just got my first gaming console... an XBox. It's great, and I got it the now regular price. So I'm just wondering if the new games will work on the first system... I loved Perfect Dark on N64, which my brother owns.

 

Is it me, or do these new PD pictures look a bit "cartoonish"? I wonder why they've chosen to go for that cartoonish look? Odd. I loved the original as much as anybody, but I'm not planning to buy the new xbox 360 or what ever the heck it's called. Unless ofcourse this PdZero proves to be as good as the original.

 

i own the one for N64

 

^Me and my brother used to love making custom one on one and team games, where you get to choose the place to fight, choose the weapons, choose the characters, choose and customize the bad guys. Loads of fun.

 

Damn, I wish I still had my N64. I loved spamming those weirdly bouncing nades everywhere. My brother allways got mad at for that

 

^Mine did, too.

What also bugged me was when he'd use that Slayer gun against me... it was at times impossible to escape. But I'd always get him back with the Farsight.

We used to play in the Area 51 arena, and he'd get in one of the three sniper towers and I'd get in one of the other ones, and we'd shoot at the bad guys who'd walk in through the passages. That was fun.

 

Heh I allso remember those grenades that blurred your vision. They never seemed to affect the AI controlled guys much tho. I used to throw them at my brother and then tell him it was an accident. He'd swear at me and yell that I really needed to aim better. It was fun watching him fight from a distance while he was beeing blinded by those nades

 

If I remember correctly, I believe it was the Trangquilizer that you could set with either a blinding effect or a lethal injection, and the blinding effect is what blurred vision.

The Laptop Gun rocked.

 

Really? I seem to remember these odd greandes/mines that set of this explosion that caused the whole room be engulfed in black smoke or something like that. It sort of blurred your vision and made this sickly grinding noise as well. Oh well... I may have remembered wrong. Maybe Im mixing Golden Eye and PD.
But I do hope they have all these features in the new PD as well. I was really hoping that the PD zero would have been released on gamecube. I was really looking forward to it. But it was not to be..*sigh*

 

Yeah, especially since the first was released on a Nintendo.

 

Someone commented earlier on Joannas new looks. I agree, she looks like Laras long lost twin sister. Why couldn't her looks reflect her profession? I think she should look a bit more athletic. I don't mind her being pretty, it's just that well...How many Lara Crofts does the gamingworld really need? Argh..I need some sleep lol

 

OK, so I think I'm a little confused...

is this Perfect Dark Zer0:

Personally I like the first one better. The second one looks like PS2 graphics, not next-gen material at all.

 

The screens and vids out now are on beta kits i think, so there not even finalized hardware. So they have time to clean it up. Not only that, but the graphics will get "better" as the next gen rolls around, ('05-'08ish), and PD0 is only using 30% of the 360's graphical power.

So just wait and see.

 

Looks like the game is finaly starting to shape up.

Finally have some movies to see the game in action.

Oh, so shiny.
