Im not that excited about Perfect Dark Zero, what do you think of the original Perfect Dark cybersurfer?

I still have the original on N64 and if im being honest thought it was a letdown, cost about £40-50, then you had to pay another £30 for an N64 upgrade thing (or whatever it was) just for the privelege to play the single player part of the game. Plus compared to Goldeneye as Rare's follow up game it seemed average I can remember even some of the most byast magazines of the time saying the same thing.

Multiplayer deathmatch, co-op and some of the weapons which were simply amazing saved it though. Smile

Haha, yeah I just looked on Gamerankings and saw that it has an average review score of 94.3% from 77 reviews christ knows what magazines I had that gave it average reviews.

The game didn't even run all that smooth back on the N64 if I remember correctly cybersurfer, graphically it was very ambitious for its time - I tryed to emulate it on a high end pc a while back as well and couldn't even get it to run smooth, that said I''ve never been into N64 emulation as much as the arcades, Snes or Megadrive. The N64 emulators just seemed like alot of work compared to something like M.A.M.E. or ZSnes which are brilliant and simple programs.

I'd give the game its dues as a multiplayer title no doubt, I can still remember fragging my mate with one ultra over powered weapon that enabled you to see heat sources through multiple walls kind of like a predator style view, in fact you could see heat sources across the full length of the level with that weapon no matter how many walls stood in the way!!! it also had a lock onto target button making you almost invincible - my mate never did figure out how I kept killing him from half way across the level when he couldn't even see me. Laughing

The deployable turrets were brilliant as well........ah good times Very Happy

I just went out to EB games and what do ya know they had a original Perfect Dark cart, man did I get lucky Shocked

The elimenator Surreal64 didn't really work that good..the sound cracked a little choppy and you could see pieces of the wall flicker.

I haven't tried the cart yet so I hope all those problems will cleared up. I paid 14.99 for it, I guess not to bad, I think it should have been alot cheaper...ohhhh well

anyone else read about the secret character in Dead or Alive 4? Heres the article and pics - http://www.xbox365.com/news.cgi?id=GGuLurNdHN10131611
They said it wasn't gonna be master chief but it is (at least it might as well be). but its a girl. DOA3 is my favorite fighting game, but outta all the people they could have chosen for a secret character, they pick a fuckin spartan soldier from Halo...? So random and out of place. Geez...even if they put Princess Peach in the game it would be less retarted than playing with Spartan whoever.

oh btw if your looking for x360 videos go here

http://www.xboxyde.com/x05.html

I've been going there the past week and they have really quick downloads of all the latest videos from that x05 event thing. There mostly Cam's but super high quality recordings. If you like GTA style games, check out the Saints Row gameplay video. It's 270mb and it looks so awesome. It's like GTA with really nice graphics and a lot of the stuff that was missing from GTA is in this. (Modding any car, holding up stores, creating own character,ragdoll physics ect.)

yep, to play Perfect Dark properly when it first came out you had to splash out something in the region of £80 (English Pounds) which makes the cost of Xbox 360 games seems reasonable Laughing

I started to stream that Perfect Dark footage but got hit with a streaming ad for the movie Domino so just cancelled the streaming. Im gonna check it out though cause im interested to see what its like.

Best thing I think about all these videos showing in game footage/screenshots and the like is that your impressed but when you think about it and look back at the majority of the launch titles that have came out for previous consoles then compare the titles that came out around the consoles mid-life/final year you know that the launch games are only going to be a sampling of the Xbox360's power.

The pricing structure is incredible as well, costs substancially less than a high end graphics card, never mind a Nividia 7800GTX. Very Happy

I like the idea of that as long as they get the pricing just right, if the games cost too much people are just gonna save their money for new Xbox games. Would be great if they managed to incorporate some form of online functionality to the system like an online scoring table as you mentioned and even multiplayer over Xbox Live.

I guess all of the above is nothing new to those of us that mess about with the emulators online but its a legal alternative if nothing else.

Btw that was bold putting up that "next gen/pc" thread in the PC games section, you know that most (not all) of the people that were gonna post into it are fanboys and people with no appreciation for consoles or their merits whatsoever. Wink

I'm not to sure multiplayer will happen but scoreing will...I hope cause thats the only reason I would care as I've been into emulaters for years. Right down to my gba Smile

I have been a Hardcore PC gameer for a while and I love the consoles too {except when the xbox killed DX2 Shocked}, I try not to get sucked into this whole fanboys shit. I do see a shift happening so I thought I would stir up some shit...to tell ya the truth I thought I was going to get my ass handed to me Laughing

Im very much a hardcore gamer, I don't distinguish between the PC or console and have very little in the way of brand loyalty. I think once you start taking stuff like that into account the only person that suffers is yourself. I mean why should you miss out on Metal Gear Solid 4 or Zelda/Mario/Metroid or DOA/Ninja Gaiden.

The thing about that thread was you were making valid points and in some ways the replys were valid, stupidest thing that people reply with though is when they say that PC's are gonna catch up in 6 months. Everyone knows thats gonna be the case, it always has been. However 6 months after they do catch up is everyone gonna instantly splash out the money to upgrade to comparable system specs.............I think not.

To be honest I just stay away from those threads altogether, if people choose to dismiss consoles like the PS2 and the Xbox that have brought us so many good games then its their loss. Smile

I have just sat down and really watched that elder scrolls oblivion gameplay vid and I have to tell you...I am beyond impressed and giddy about it all.Seeing the COD2 vid,I was like whoa.Seeing the PD2 vid,I was even more wow'd!Then I see the elder scrolls and kameo vids and now I feel like a kid in a toys'r'us for the first time.I think hardcore gamers and casual gamers are both gonna get the bang for their buck here.That is just IMO.Don't even get me stated on the condemed vids out there.

This is interesting, its about why microsoft didn't include HD-DVD format for the xbox360...I would say it more of an expense for microsoft than anything. I know I don't need HD-DVD anyway.
It'll be interesting on what Sony will do with Blueray...I don't no how there going to be able to afford putting Blue ray in the PS3, I mean what kind of price is Sony going to charge for blueray...I'm thinking it will be an add on or that they will scrape the idea too.

2nd bill gates said both blue ray and hddvd will both go down the drain...

Wal-mart Eb games and Best Buy are all getting xbox 360 demo Kiosks with actual playable systems. This is America only and it should be out in pretty much all the stores of the above mentioned by the end of the week. I went to wal-mart yesterday and they had there's half setup. There was no moniter but the system was on and the controller was installed with the green light on.


Oh also Hard drives might replace hd-dvd and blu ray for backup's and coping but not actual hd-dvd and blu ray movies released by movie studio's because it's hard to sell a hard drive with a movie on it for 20 bucks.

I really hope that sony dont put that blu-ray on the ps3 cause that will drive the cost way high and make games more expensive. Seems MS doing everything right and sony is acting like a fool.
