OMG

 

[Foxtrot]

Wow, those look terrible.

 

[DigiQ8]

i think its Multiplayer shots
but the graphics still not good for a next-gen graphics

 

[Javert]

It looks like X-Box with gloss. It may look nice, but the character modelling is...yea... But I'll have to get higher res pictures to pass a better judgment.

 

[f|uke]

pics are grainy,. but ya, dont look terribly impressive even with that in mind. This aint no Unreal Engine 3. But maybe they'll trick it out better before it ships.

 

[weskerQ8]

the graphics is a holly crap

 

[Shamrock]

Those are terrible. The ones on the MTV special were very good.

 

[DigiQ8]

the MTV show

[BabyHeadCrab]

people seem to believe that the pre-rendered bullshit is the standard or something. The graphics wont be photorealistic ffs..

 

[DigiQ8]

we'll see what Unreal 3 engine will do on the xbox 36003154156154

 

[Axyon]

Go and look at other Xbox 360 games like Gears of War or Condemned - they look far better than these PDZ screenshots. I hope there's some kind of inconsistency somewhere, because the footage at the MTV show looked a bit better. Even so, I hope they make huge improvements for the release... the whole cartoony style of Joanna in the screenshot isn't appealing at all.

*carresses Perfect Dark cartridge*
What have they done to you?

I was hoping for a picture of the Skedar... they would look impressive even with those mediocre graphics.
And that third shot better not be the Farsight. That would just piss me off.

I'm dissapointed.

I don't believe any kind of extra-terrestrials will be making an appearance in Zero, since it's set before the time of the original Perfect Dark.

I need to play it again, but didn't Carrington Institue always deal with Aliens? I haven't played the one player mode in too long

Well, if it doesn't have any, it's not going to be Perfect Dark as we know it anyway. I just pray for a PC port so I won't have to shell out for XBox 360 :/

They did, but Joanna hadn't met any aliens prior to the storyline of PD... and since it's pretty much certain that we'll be playing as her again in PDZ, there probably won't be any alien encounters.

 

[guchi]

I will miss you Callisto NTG...


They better have the laptop gun though!

 

[Absinthe]

Umm... not that great. I could imagine those running on a PS2 with little trouble.

I'll give it the benefit of the doubt, though. You often need to see something running in order to do it justice.

 

[WhiteZero]

I wouldent be suprised if these were just leaked screens from an upcomming PD mod.

 

[Sui]

I've never played the original Perfect Dark... wouldn't mind giving it a go, but I doubt I'll be able to find a second hand copy anywhere... or, for that matter, an N64. Although I saw one for £15 in my local second hand shop a while ago. It's rediculous when the second hand games are more expensive than the coinsole...

Knowing nothing apout Perfect Dark, I can't really comment on this. Personally I think the graphics are fine, I don't understand why everyone is thiking UE3 has set the basic standard of graphics now; these graphics look just as good as Doom3 (but then again it's hard to tell).

 

[Absinthe]

Well, I think one needs to consider that this was originally meant for the X-Box, so these screens might just be leftovers from then. Also, launch titles rarely manage to make use of the full raw power of their consoles, so it usually takes some time before you see the real beauty pour out.

Still, these screenshots don't inspire a lot of confidence.

This is the launch title - Microsoft have literally poured money into it, so the majority were expecing something a little better than this. I have total confidence that we'll see something far nicer at E3, though.

Ah right. I'm sure E3 will provide something better, as you said. I mean what we've seen so far could be anything; the screenshots don't even look like they're from the same game.

What about the original Perfect Dark; I've heard it's amazing? I had the gameboy colour version, and althpugh I can't remember much, it had superb gameplay and a strange sci-fi plot (something about aliens?). Looking back it kinda seems like Deus Ex- which is definately a good thing.

Perfect Dark was awesome. You know when games just have that 'feel' that makes them so uniquely excellent? Yeah, it had that feel and then some. Seriously though, how could you not have at least played it? I doubt you'll be impressed now though, it has aged badly and the framerate is shocking.

 

[Sui]

how could you not have at least played it?

The only time I've ever played on an N64 was round my childminder's house when I was about 6 or 7, back when they were new. He had Super Mario 64 and I loved it. Other than that I've hardly played an N64... and I've never actually seen a copy of Perfect Dark with my own eyes hehe

 

[Fishlore]

Those screens are bad. The game in action couldn't possibly be this bad. I'm sure it will improve over time.

I loved the original Perfect Dark. In my opinion though, without the N64 controller that game would have been just another FPS. I didn't think the game itself was anything special, but the gameplay was phenomenal.

Just like all Bond games after GoldenEye, I have a feeling this new Perfect Dark won't live up to expectations. Not because of graphics, but because of gameplay.

 

[Reginald]

It's most certainly worth trackind down before PD: Zero and PD: Source.

One of my fondest memories is the level where you infiltrate the airport to board AirForceOne. And then when you got on AirForceOne it had the most fantastic in-game foortage of a UFO docking with the plane. And then it crashlands in the snow I seem to remember and you see

Spoiler

Mr Blonde transform into the Skedar King and kill that CIA guy with the red coat

 

[Icarusintel]

i got hyped by the new render of her that showed her face, but that character model they have for her in the shot better be an old one, it looks like shit and nothing like the render, where is the sexy Joanna Dark? If Microsoft is serious about this game they have a lot of work to do, unless these are old shots, which is hopefully true

 

[Reginald]

For all of you who haven't played it, here is the best site for info on it:
http://perfectdark.detstar.com/

Here are all the weapons and whether we should get them

• Falcon 2 (silence) (scope) - Dead cert I would think. It's like Bond and his PPK, this is the trademark pistol
• MagSec4 - Unlikely, but certainly plausible. This was always my least favourite weapon due to the sheer boredom of it.
• Phoenix - No chance for SP although perhaps a MP cameo as it was a fan favourite
• Mauler - Meh. Never saw much room for it. It certainly won't be back.
• DY357 Magnum - Quite likely. Every game needs a Magnum.
• DY357-LX Magnum - Golden Gun... it has to be in MP.
• CMP150 - This was DataDyne technology. I can't see it being back, but it will have a similar gun to fulfill the small SMG role.
• Sniper Rifle - Well...it goes without saying there will be one.
• Crossbow - I jolly well hope so. It will bring back good stealthy memories. And it certainly wasn't alien tech.
• Tranquilizer - Without aliens, who needs it? *looks annoyed*
• Laser - I imagine it will be ingame. The game needs to stick to its Bond roots.
• Cyclone - A weapon that was neither here nor there. I think it was alien technology too...don't count on it.
• Callisto NTG - Sadly, no It was Maian tech. Maybe a cameo in MP? *hopes*
• RCP-120 - There is apparently an Invisibility gun, so not much need for this. Seeing as this was alien tech I don't hold out much hope.
• Laptop Gun - We better do or we'll have loads of dissapointed fans.
• Dragon - Not much point. It was always a pointless gun. Same with Super Dragon.
• K7 Avenger - DataDyne tech. I imagine it will be replaced by a similar gun though.
• Ar34 - Maybe we'll get the AR35 this time?
• Shotgun- No doubt.
• Reaper - I'm praying for a MP cameo. Sadly it won't be in SP because it's Skedar tech.
• Farsight - Looks like we already have similar gun judging by the screenshots.
• Devastator - I jolly well hope so. It was a great grenade launcher.
• Rocket Launcher - Of course we'll get one.
• Slayer - Better be a cameo in MP. This was the funnest gun to ever grace a console.
• Grenade - In some form or another
• N - Bomb - I hope for a cameo in MP.
• Mines - No doubt. You can't have an FPS without them nowadays
• Maybe we'll get the classic weapons from Goldeneye.

Sorry, that turned into ramble.

 

[StardogChampion]

I never liked Prefect Dark much. It felt just like Goldeneye with new skins/models. Kind of like what Ceasar III is to Emperor: ROTM, same game, different assets.

 

[Razor]

The sort of graphics that the next generation consoles should be getting are the Unreal3 technology shots and nothing short of. You have to remember that the games are being designed to take full advantage of all the technology the consoles will be getting, so they should look like pc games should a year or so after released i.e. Unreal Tournement 2007, etc, not last years pc games.

 

[Dalamari]

Wow, those screenshots were hardly worth a typo, nowhere close to needing an "!" and the OMG is just overkill

Basically, the game looks like shat, that might be why I'm done with console after the Xbox.

I agree, unless the Revolution is truely revolutionary. Then I'll happily partake in one more console.

 

[Axyon]

Honestly, it's becoming so convincing that the 1up screenshots are nothing but incredibly old prototypes. The main factor is the ourcolony reward that was probably given to prepare everyone for the unveiling at MTV/E3. Consequently, at MTV we are shown a brief shot of Joanna in the footage (and I'm convinced it's ingame - see below); she looks almost exactly like the promo shot from ourcolony. Why would they change from this human look to the cartoon style we've seen in the 1up screenshots? It makes no sense at all.

It's funny how this year people are so interested in Nintendo even though most people think they make childish games.

I still love Nintendo to bits. :/

I'm 28 and I've owned each and every one of their consoles and no others. Gameplay rules supreme with me.

Why are you convinced it's in-game? As far as I can see there's no evidence to support that.

I'm not talking about the arty shot with Joanna in front of the blue backround, I mean the capture with her pointing dual pistols (which actually look like MagSecs!) at the camera.

 

[BabyHeadCrab]

I think i'm one of the few people that still has great confidence in Rare and PD0

 

[Frank]

Horrible horrible... whatever did they do to Joanna!? She looks like...puke

 

[satch919]

Im not blown away like I thought I would be. In fact, I'm downright disappointed. ;( Hopefully they'll tweak it heavily before its released. The XBOX 360 has all this great hardware behind it and yet its only pulling off graphics that look to be about where we are now on PCs. Maybe they haven't fully tapped the true power of the XBOX 360.

I hope Nintendo and Sony have more in store for us in terms of orginality and graphics. Am I a graphics whore? You betcha!
