Early reviews are good.
Definitely getting this one as soon as it's out and looking forward to cleaning up the challenge mode with a full TNL squad.
Who else is in?

Im getting it. Its going to be wild playing some of these maps again - and now with a higher player count. Machine gun brief case! I used to play slo mo vs tons of bots all the time - I wonder if thats in there. Facility is the best map ever. Still, Goldeneye is/was the better game. Sucks they werent allowed to release that as well - maybe one day.
Looking forward to grabbing this tomorrow. Laptop gun FTW!
Anything that was in the N64 PD will be in this.
That means I can still use the secondary mode on my Avenger to spot traps from you laptop gunning bastards.
I thought The PD 360 will have the Goldeneye Multi maps as a secret.Quote:

If you're reading this, you probably already went to change your pants once from just the headline. Ken Lobb from the Microsoft Games Studio made a few key statements with regards to the upcoming hi-definition port of Perfect Dark for the Live Arcade. Weapons and maps from GoldenEye 007, the game that many feel to be the greatest N64 game of all time, will make an appearance in the port.
GoldenEye 007-style weapons were also unlockable in Perfect Dark, but with slightly different names.Perfect Dark will appear in all of its hi-resolution glory on March 17 on the Xbox Live Arcade.
Lobb also confirmed to Kotaku that the upcoming Perfect Dark port will feature GoldenEye levels in the multiplayer.
Felicity, Temple and Complex, the GoldenEye levels that were in the original Perfect Dark have made the jump to the XBLA version as well.
Fixed controls and $10 means I'm there.
Shit, I may have to bite.
Yep, fixed controls and fixed framerate are the main sellers here.
The $10 price tag makes it an even better deal.
I'll pick this up. Looks silky smooth, and I'm confident there will be non-stop mulitplayer matches until the new Yuga.
I've been waiting for this shit forever. And I've had points set aside for about 4 months.
... I don't really know why.
You guys make me buy bad games :p
I still find the hopping/rolling bad guys hilarious.
Against all odds, this game does have a redeeming quality. You can shoot Peter Molynuex.
I am totally without a doubt getting this
Looks awful.
Just like your face.Quote:

Agreed. I might have fallen for the hype if that video didn't flood back the memories of PD's unfun labyrinthine bullshit levels.Quote:

What is Bomberman Live syndrome? I thought BL was pretty good.
Bunch of people here bought it expecting it to be the new TNL rage and it was so broken they gave up a few days in.Quote:

Game is great. Playing the challenges on live might just be the best part of the game. Controls feel fine and mp had no lag and ran perfect. For some reason though, there is a great deal of input lag when playing co-op. Luckily though co-op isn't the best part of the game, and the best part plays about 100x better than the 64 version.
Can you do local split screen co-op?
Yep.Quote:

Multiplayer challenges are smooth as a botoxed scrotum. We had 4 guys on our team going against the bots and it ran with no lag at all.
Story mode is even better than I remember it. 60 FPS really makes a difference.
I'm reading gamefaqs right now and it looks like online counter-ops is crippled with lag, too.
There must be something in the code that just makes those two modes laggy, because they were unplayable in the N64 version, too.
Tried the demo. I really don't get it. Didn't take to it on the N64, either.
What's so great about this game?
Gears disease imo.
The N64 game was a disappointment and remains one of gaming's most overrated titles. However, with a proper frame rate and presumably improved controls, I think I'll check out this remake.
That's how they gitcha.
Yeah, but I'll try the demo first to see if it's worth it.
They gun GITCHA.
GITCHA. ONE WAY
...you have been hanging around cubicle offices too much, Thief.
GITCHA ALL OVER
Just played the demo... yea I think my points will be better served on some ripoff DLC or something. How much are avatar shirts nowadays?

I could understand this game having a following in the context of it coming out in the late 90's, being an impressive game for the time and having the console FPS market relatively all to itself, but that's not at all the case. In came out in 2000; you could have been playing Quake III Arena for Dreamcast around the same time it released. If you opted for this, you may be a faggot.
yeah.
singleplayer seemed kinda neat when i tried it in like '04 or whenever i bought a shitty used N64, though.
WTF is is the Marquis of Rules cheat do? I activated it and didn't notice squat. Queensbury
Also, does it really bother people that some of us enjoy the game?
Primitive mid-90s FPS released three years too late is still primitive a decade later. That is all.
This is TNL.Quote:

This shit was super fun tonight. The classic Goldeneye maps/weapons FTW.
This game may have not been the greatest FPS EVAR or even during the time it was created. All that matters to me is that it played well enough to enjoy it with friends and have a good time.
So it looks like the old Mr. Potato Head system of mixing up heads and bodies is still in the game.
After selecting a head, you just have to hold down the RB while scrolling through the bodies.

Omg more challenges tonight?
See, once you have Nintendo taint, you can never shake the "but it's fun" "logic."Quote:

Yoshi likes Nintendo's taint.
Your previous post just sounded too much like SpoDaddy's reasoning for posting his uber-padded list of "good" Wii games.Quote:

Final Fight has always been good; Perfect Dark has always sucked. Remaking a turd doesn't change that it's a turd.
This just sums it up so perfectly. And we won't even get into its PC contemporaries.Quote:

Multiplayer is loaded with gadgets too like throwing down a fake gun pickup ups thats actually a proximity mine. Its just cool shit and its fun to finally play with 8 players online - especially with the friends and family I used to play PD/007 with in person years ago. Its almost surreal playing this again now that its online.
Im convinced people who dont like Perfect Dark just didnt have any friends to play it with in the N64 days. Same with Goldeneye. Boohoo.
OR, we were smart enough not to own N64's and were riding the Saturn PSX wave?
There was this little single player FPS called Deus Ex the same year. Perhaps you've heard of it?Quote:

As we all know, Yoshi only play the very best games after the fact. :D
That describes 2000's No One Lives Forever better than Perfect Dark. ;)Quote:

Theres just no way back in the late 90s or 2000 that you sat in a room with 4 people playing 007 or PD and said this game sucks. Not buying it. People keep saying its dated on here, but then yall praise and play Duke Nukem and Doom on XBLA. Doesnt make much sense.
I am surprised that so many people enjoy playing 4p death matches on Goldeneye/PD. My buddies and I couldn't get into it, because of the tiny screen, bad framerates (which leads to shitty controls). I mean, if that's all you have and can't afford anything else as a kid, I can understand since kids can tolerate an insurmountable of shit.
We always ended up playing Samurai Shodown or Street Fighters, and Super Bomberman instead. Never got into Mario Kart either.
Of course, once I played Quake 2 (even over 56k modem), it changed my world on MP FPS.
EDIT: Single player PD was okay. I got stuck on a certain level on Secret Agent difficulty and gave up. Same thing on Goldeneye (which I like the single player much better).
Man, I miss Monolith. What a tragedy.Quote:

This argument doesn't really hold. Perfect Dark doesn't really hold up to Deus Ex, that's true, but what game does? DX could come out tomorrow and still be better than everything else.Quote:

Goldeneye was only fun because of the use of proximity and remote mines. That's all.
GoldenEye and PD had multiplayer options that you could find on no other console FPS at the time. You could (and people did) play it weeks at a time and never get bored. All of the unlockables and the brilliant level difficulty design made those 2 games an insane value. Sure they looked like shit and haven't aged well but that goes for just about every game from that generation. This PD upgrade had a lot of love put into it, it's cool to see.

We're just intelligent adults that can separate a game from our good memories around it, that's all.
usual disclaimer: I'm only talking about multiplayer.
I think that has some validity, though not necessarily true for everyone. I was 10 when Goldeneye came out (holy shit was I really that fucking young?) and 13 when PD came out. I had played some Quake 3 by the time PD came out, I think, but had nobody I knew to play with, so when I went over to a friends house, we would spend hours in PD paying the challenges and trying to do speed runs to unlock the cheats. Even after getting into UT99 and Wolf:ET, when hanging out with friends, PD was the mp game of choice.Quote:

I played all your Half-Lifes and Counter-Strikes and Unreals and Quakes on PC back then.
Perfect Dark still owned.
It's a good shooter, console or otherwise.
And Quake III/UT were both terrible on the Dreamcast. People laugh at the N64 controller, but it was a ton better for shooters than the Dreamcast pad.
:tu:
You guys almost convinced me until I tried the demo. Then reality prevails.
FTH
DC supported keyboard & mouse, only r-tards used the pad.Quote:
