TopGunKnacker Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=214218 could just be a tease, but that pic has been released by rare for one reason only, to make us believe that PD is coming to xbla whether its true or not. god i hope it is, thats a 100% must have. the co op was awesome! and i cant wait to play the multi, goldeneye's complex ftw!

Hendo Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I was never that hot on Perfect Dark, Goldeneye had the complete package for me. I would like to see some more Rare games get reborn though, especially Blast Corps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I preferred pretty much everything about PD, must be said. co op and playing multi with bots was cool too, but i mean i preferred the levels, the weapons (though you could unlock goldeneye weapons in the firing range), the graphics, everything really. i just thought it was the goldeneye formula improved and made more interesting. plus they included my favourite goldeneye map, complex :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illdog Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I would like to see some more Rare games get reborn though, especially Blast Corps. Hells yea, Blast Corps was amazing. I finidhed that when it first came out, then i bought it a couple of years ago and wen through it again, amazing stuff. And Goldeneye wins in a versus PD match but id welcome Perfect Dark to XBLA like i would Carla Gugino to my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I though PD was better than Goldeneye, it just seemed to take the formula and run with it, plus better weapons. I'm not sure if I'd want to play it now though. Yes, it rarely left my N64 back in the day but this genre has come a long way since and I can't see it being played over the modern FPS'. Could be fun for a nostalgic stroll I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGunKnacker Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 i think the co op youre guaranteed with PD is a big boon. id be a lot more excited about a potential goldeneye xbla port if it was to have co op too. both games suffered from performance issues, i remember smoke effects in goldeneye absolutely wolfbagging the framerate on the n64, so itll be nice if they optimise the game which i am certain they will. what id really like to see developers doing is properly reskinning these games and using higher poly models. i mean i think thats how they make these things, higher quality then reduce it down to what the console can handle so idve thought theyd have lots of higher quality assets in archives from when they made these games in the first place, so it wouldnt be a huge undertaking. im either wrong or theyre tight fisted, both are plausible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 If they're doing them the same as the two Banjo's, yeah. They look much cleaner and some textures are clearer but it's largely the same, not like they remade them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGunKnacker Posted June 6, 2009 Author Share Posted June 6, 2009 fantastic news!!!!! and may i say i think the graphics are looking rather nice, dont know if theyve touched them up but theyre certainly bearable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimboxy Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 didn't PD come with the Goldeneye multi levels as well, or at least some of them. I predict the golden eye multi stuff will all be on there, like an "old skool" mode or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopGunKnacker Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 some of the best goldeneye mp levels were mixed in with the PD multiplayer levels, such as the almighty COMPLEX. i imagine theyll be on the xbla version as rare have the rights to them. plus the goldeneye guns that were unlockable in the original PD will probably still be there because they werent officialy named or anything, though they were based on real life guns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGunKnacker Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 i just looked at those pics again and came a little. to put it in perspective, after KoF 12 and Modern Warfare 2, this is probably my third most anticipated release of the year!!! go Pd!!!!
