Perfect Dark"
 

Barely confirmed, MONTHS away, but I don't care. I will gladly be the one to make this thread and give updates.


June 2, 2009 - Were you one of the many that played Perfect Dark Zero back in 2005 and wondered why there was so much hype and anticipation for the game? Now you can find out.

Major Nelson updated his twitter feed with the announcement that Perfect Dark, which debuted on the Nintendo 64 back in 2000, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade.

No details about any new features or who is handling development were given, but it appears for now the game will be a straight port of the N64 version. But one thing to note is the game will run at full 1080p. No word if any of the framerate problems from the original were fixed.





According to the preview for when you dl the premium theme (which is free btw) it's "rendered in greater definition and sporting a silkier framrate than ever before".

But if they change ONE note of the music, I will riot.

Yeah asshole, Perfect Dark". Because that is the name of the game. Way to prove to everyone you are an asshole who has never played the greatest shooter ever.

Perfect Dark gave birth to Jesus.

Only vid I could find of the FARSIGHT (:heart: :heart: heart: ) in action. Put it on mute though, I cuold only take 7 seconds of their nerdiness.

The one, sole issue with the game was framerate. 4plyrs vs 2 Darksims was a horror movie.

Fucking awesome. Glad it's the full game and not just multiplayer too.

I have a feeling the Farsight won't be as fun without a split-screen.

When you're playing on a split-screen you can tell when you're being targeted.

Online? Single screen? It will just get annoying.

OMGGGG what about co-op campaign? 4 player??

That would be wonderful.

oooooooo and that one game mode where one player is joanna and the other player is the enemies.

Oh man, and going through those gun trials will be a bitch too. Probably 50G achievement for golding all of them I bet.

I remember I only needed like 3 more guns to gold them all. And that was back when I was...12? So I think I might be able to do it now.

damn if that is multiplayer online I'll be kinda sad i dont have a 360.

I love this game so much

<3 the Blade Runner level

1200 easy.

3:28 :)

The Chicago level is a really heavy homage to Blade Runner. The design of the city is exact, as are the streets.
Add to that the fact that it's dark, rainy, and you are wearing a trenchcoat and using the same gun as Harrison Ford.

Also, theres a map in there with a lobby that's pretty much exact to the one from The Matrix.
I don't think it was a conincidence. There's a lot of easter eggs in the game.

I love that game and it's storylilne is pretty cool. Overall the "universe" it occupies is top notch, and I enjoyed how they mixed a Bond-like spy game with sci-fi and aliens

yeah I like that level

Prob the best multiplayer map

Nah I like warehouse the best

My friends refuse to allow the farsight when doing multiplayer cause I totally destroy them and I have to hear them bitch and moan about how its cheap/cheating that that's all I do. AKA BRING IT ON MOTHER FUCKERS!

If they include the "classic" guns and "classic" maps than theres no reason for them to release Goldeneye on XBLA.

If they included extra skins from Goldeneye then that would be badass too. Maybe not the Bonds or the bad guys because of liesencing issues but maybe some of the generic gaurds and shit.

For the board felicity go to the dead end in the lab section and get your farsight out.

Set a sentry gun out and set it up on the other end of the hallway... mine the hall way then go into the little room and blast people away with you farsight

I'll convince my friend to get it.

Now if they could re-release Goldeneye. :(

Perfect Dark is miles better than Goldeneye, imo.

Kilometers, actually.

Perfect Dark is what they wanted Goldeneye to be.

Perfect Dark was perfect for living in the college setting, haven't hooked it since I've moved back home though

Wow G even Stima plays this game.

You definitly grew up in amish country.

fuckin hick

I liked the single player campaign better in Goldeneye. The alien planet levels in Perfect Dark felt too weird and tacked on.

As for multiplayer, Perfect Dark does win considering that it reused the best maps from Goldeneye anyway.

I LOVE PERFECT DARK

Stayed up and played it till 5 last night

Fuck yeah. :heart:

Gonna need to start turning tricks, there are so many good games coming out this year.

Looking good. Also, someone claims to have emailed 4J studios and asked if the game would have online. 4J supposedly replied to his email saying they can't talk about details but the game will have online.
Visual proof of the email: http://s198.photobucket.com/albums/a...rrent=pd-1.jpg
It's far too big to put on the forums. Anyone believe the email is real?

All this talk of PD made me get out the N64 and have a go on it. It's strange at first going back to the contol style. I have to say they should probably rerecord the dialouge. Or at least the villains speech. Joanna, Dr. Carroll, Elvis, Carrington and enemies are fine but the main villains aren't very well done. Even when the game came out I thought that and today it's even clearer. I know Trent and Carrington are voiced by the same guy with a different accent, that may be the problem.

Does anyone think they may finally put in the "Put your face in the game" idea they had for the N64 version? They wanted to use the Gameboy camera to put the players face in multiplayer but Nintendo said no because they didn't want kids shooting their friends in the face. With the 360s camera, they could probably do it now, if they wanted to.

I remember that, the Vision Cam should be able to do that easily.

I really wanna see it in motion on a 360 console.

I thought online has already been confirmed.

I was on Xbox.com and, yeah, it was confirmed. You're right. No idea why the guy emailed 4J then.

that chick looks ugly in the 360 pic

I know. She looks almost sexy in the N64 version.

Same thing.

Online multiplayer....I think I woul;d never sleep

Not long until it's released. No actual date but Winter is not far away now.

New screens: (comparisons 360 is the top image, N64 is bottom image.)

I wonder when/if we'll see a trailer. It's been confirmed there will be online leaderboards aswell.

The sniper rifle target range gold test was the only gun test i could never pass. I think its something like 12 shots in 12 seconds and all have to be bullseyes and you only get 12 rounds.

I wonder if they will keep the cheese as a joke Easter egg or make them unlock stuff like Rare originally had planned.

I believe reason for the no GBC camera support for N64 version was the impact the Columbine Massacre had on the public and violent games. Rare dropped the camera support after they and Nintendo agreed they didn't want any potential lawsuits. The source code for the camera was never really taken out but just hidden so it never executes.

I think I aced that, I dunno. The trick was to shoot it even when it wasn't facing you if I remember correctly.

The ones I didn't have were the tranqualizer, grenade laicnher and something else.

But like I said, now that I'm older and with the 360 controller AND all the FPs experience thats been hammered into my head for the past 3 years, I think I should be able to gold them all. And that's got to be AT LEAST a 25g achievement.

Also, I wonder how they're going to map out the controller. Might take getting used to.

They should do it a little like Perfect Dark Zero. Felt like a natural transition from the original PD/Goldeneye set up.

Left trigger: aim
Right trigger: shoot
Left stick: move
Right stick: strafe
A: reload/ hold for weapon select
B: primary/secondary function

Something like that.

Been thinking about it and it kinda pisses me off that this is getting released AFTER Modern Warfare 2. And even Left 4 Dead 2.

More screenshots.

Elvis looks a little old but the game looks like it's coming along well. All we need now is a trailer and a release date.

Wonder how multiplayer will hold up after what I've gotten used to. I'd probably play capture the briefcase very differently.

I've just thought, about online multiplayer. Will the maps be big enough for the max number of players we can have?
What about auto aim? I wonder if that'll be disabled online.

I was going to post those pics earlier but ign wouldn't let me. :(

Type of fish you have at home?

I've never heard of a fish that can shoot through a billion walls at 5 miles away.

I don't think it looks like a fish, but if it did, it would be closer to this.

I'm sure they must be working on it in a lab somewhere. They've done tests in the past to see how many Skittles it takes to choke a Flamingo* or something so creating an armed superfish is at least less pointless.

*I say Flamingo but I'm not sure. I know it was a bird, anyway.

Pretty sure this is getting pushed back

Does anyone remember that rumor flying around when the first Perfect Dark came out regarding being able to use the Nintendo Camera to upload photos and paste them on your character's face for multiplayer? did any of that turn out to be true?

It's due out in Winter 2009. Winter is December, January and February. So there is still time for it to get a trailer and be released. Plus its an XBLA game. They don't get much hype. Banjo-Kazooie got one trailer a few months before release. That was it. Unless you read something somewhere.

They were gong to but they removed it because people thought if we shot our friends in the face in PD, we'd do it in reality to.
With the Xbox camera and with Natal coming up, maybe they'll add it this time. If they did, it would probably only be for local multiplayer. Otherwise we'll end up have deathmatches agains people with assfaces.

January and February is winter 2010.


IGN now has it as "TBA 2010" so it might be in spring. :(

The longer it takes, the better it will be. When this comes out, it will blow all of our collective minds.

Actually it will probably suck, given all the more advanced shooters that have come out since.

The mulitplayer if they keep all the customization and Counter-Op mode will end up making it a good port/remake game based on XBLA standards.

60fps online multiplayer would be nifty.

I'm excited

Nice though she looks much younger. I still want to know if they are reusing old voice recordings, new recordings of the original actors or entirely new ones with new actors.

If its going to be anything like the Conkers remake, they probably will reuse most of the old voice recordings and then add new lines for any changes they made to the game. For example, instead of the text briefings in the old game, its replaced with a new voice briefing replacing the text.

Its mostly just updating the game to fit the Xbox 360 which means adding Xbox Live for multiplayer, changing from the N64 to a Xbox 360 control scheme, and adding or redrawing the textures in the game.

Its not expected to be what Rare did to the N64 version of Conkers Bad Fur Day on the original Xbox where they added some new voices, redid parts of levels, and completely changed the mulitplayer.

"Leaked" images:
Set as spoilers because they stretch the page.


Rumoured achievements list:


And Roxer was right, we're not getting the game until early 2010.

Joanna looks good (better than Zero's pseudo anime style).

Yeah, someone said she looked like Tila Tequila, whoever that is.

I guess she does...kinda.

Some Asian attention whore, but they don't look alike unless you're looking for the similarities. Tila didn't come to mind when I saw the pics.

Loving that they added polys rather than just sharpen everything.

Love the achievements. Especially Golden Days. Paci-Fist will probly be a bitch. And at least we only need bronzes for the firing range.

Paci-fist should be pretty easy if we do it on the first mission.

Anyway, a lot of images leaked again but most have been taken down. The only ones worth showing are the control schemes. The only surviving screens I saw besides the control schemes were just close ups of a floor.

Control schemes:

I think, I'll go with the classic set-up, myself.

Also, the first video, in mp4 format because Youtube likes to take stuff down:
http://img705.imageshack.us/img705/4...toninstitu.mp4

It's the Carrington Institute with no sound. I've no idea when it was captured but it looks like it was early on in development.

The guy that leaked the images and video also mentioned some of the multiplayer features:

She looks like a white rihanna

Found those leaked images that got taken down. There is roughly 60 of them.:

Facility and Complex, baby! Memories flooding in.

I predict a large amount of online multiplayer in Facility will take place in and around the bathroom.
I also think someone is going to get into the vents above the bathrooms with a Farsight and snipe everyone the whole match.

Btw, all the classic weapons are said to be in the game.
