2005-10-04 14:18:45 Perfect Dark Zero

By J.Allard talks about this game , he thinks this game is as big as halo was back then in 2001, i dont think it will live up to halo, anyone else opinions?

2005-10-04 14:34:10

Depends on what you.. um.. mean by that.

It's doubtful that PDZ will have any sort of impact on the industry as a whole the way Halo did (and Goldeneye/Perfect Dark before it, incidentally) but I do believe PDZ will be very popular on the 360 provided it's any good. In that sense I think PDZ can capture possibly a just as big audience as Halo did, and I think it'll probably prove more surprising and enjoyable than another rehash of Halo 1 (which Halo 2 ultimately was, gameplay wise).

I doubt PDZ will ever live up to Halo....because well, Halo is still going strong on the current-gen, and Halo 3 is coming out on the 360 as well...and by judging from the video, PDZ looks rather dull and uninteresting, pretty much like Timesplitters but on a new platform. Not very impressive at all, more like just another average shooter. I think J. Allard exagerates just a little...

hey go to this site now!!!!! http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox-360/1205/Perfect...

NO way in hell it's going to Live up to or even come CLOSE to Halo. Not even Halo 2 came close... Man the good days are gone. Now we've got M$ and Bungie wanting our $ not our honor.

dude... its video games, and microsoft has never had honor... remember they pirated all there stuff in the begining

2005-10-05 12:39:41

From what was shown it's better than Halo in all respects.

2005-10-05 12:42:13

after seeing gameplay movie..well i think this game is better than halo, watch some halo or any other footage from fps games and compare them, pdz rapes them

Yummy sounding impressions.

2005-10-05 22:01:55

http://www.1up.com has a new video up including the intro to the level, makes it all flow better and shows off some nice effects. It's definitely a pretty game.

I wish they wouldn't fuck up their videos like that though, I dunno what they do to them in that place. All grainy and high contrast and pixelated. Anyway, worth checking out.

2005-10-06 15:15:41

Gamespot has put up possibly the best and most varied PDZ videos yet, complete with awesome cutscenes. Go there immediately if you're even remotely interested in this game. No membership required, although I think you may be entitled to bigger versions if you are a member.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/perfectdark... - Gameplay footage 1 through 3. Enjoy! (I did.)

Oh and perhaps keeping this thread as a half "official" thread for PDZ is a good idea so we don't go spreading stuff all over the forum? Just a thought.

2005-10-06 17:03:17

yeah, 1up really screws up their videos.
Their version of the trailer is all messy, while you can go to IGN and get a crystal clear version of it (or is it TeamXbox? Can't remember now)

2005-10-06 17:23:37

PDZ doens't survive at all when you compare the graphics of it to PGR3.
But from what I see in the vid's... PDZ has got loads and loads of gameplay.

2005-10-06 18:21:04

1UP has a giant gameplay video that shows alot more than other places do though, well worth checking out regardless of image quality.

2005-10-06 18:22:45

yeah, I watched it.
Really long clip. Whoever was playing kinda sucked though. hehe.

I guess you can't blame them on the first go 'round.

2005-10-06 19:17:49

Yeah, doesn't compete with Gamespot's suckyness though. Seriously, either he's holding the camera while he's playing (unlikely) or he sucks at even handling two analogue sticks at the same time. In the third video he keeps aiming at the roof, strafing around aimlessly several times.

2005-10-06 19:32:49

lmao.
They better not bash the game for being too hard then!

Easy difficulty does not mean it will control the game for you Gamespot!
Shouldn't have smoked all that pot before you entered the dome of gaming goodness!

God I wish I was there when it all went down.

2005-10-06 22:40:53

I'm feeling that this game isn't "looking" like an X360 game at all... I wish it had better GFX like Kameo

Go watch blimblim's new gameplay clip. That's all I can say.

Boy I'm tired of these graphics issues people are having.

Can't we just sit down together and look forward to PLAYING these games?

2005-10-06 22:52:58

Simun you better watch out.. I'll be on Live with this game!!

My coolness will put me to the top of the stats. ;-)

(I'll let you know my name here, after I buy the game)

2005-10-06 22:59:58

Cool stuff! My gamertag is Mirkan right now but I'll probably change that now that you can on the 360.

I'll drop my gamertag here, too, so we can hook up.

2005-10-06 23:23:20

good deal.

My name will probably be Plumb ( as it is in most of my multiplayer games on teh PC) but I'll let it be known for sure.

2005-10-07 04:03:24

I agree with Simun. To all those people whining about PD0, we get the point. Now stop whining and go save up for your PS3 or $1000+ PC, and leave us people who can actually offer constructive and appreciative criticisms in peace.

2005-10-07 10:51:27

Watch the new presentation video, the lighting and effects put this WAY out of the league of any FPS yet released. I know some people aren't too keen on the comicbook style of the characters, but that is an artistic choice not a technical one.

2005-10-07 12:59:16

Some people just need to stick to their WW2 shooters though. :D
