The graphics certainly do look better, but the character design makes me want to hurl.

Pic #1 looks like another ARTWORK RENDER.

Pic #3 looks like another THIS IS WHAT 360 COULD BE LIKE WHILE THE GAME IS STILL RUNNING ON AN APPLE G5.

Pics #2,4 look like the only credible gameplay shots, shown at universally standard operating resolution of 640x480 (likely to still cater to standard, non-HD TV setups (like, if you don't have a component cable yet)).

So considering what we've seen since Thursday, what am I supposed to believe?

PD0 will be a beautiful game, it will be a good game.

Why would we doubt that?

Anyone noticed that in screen 1 Joanna looks like a giant... compare her shadow to the tree and it's shadow... i think someone at Rare messed with the scale of the models. And everything has this Riddick kind of plastic look. Maybe it's true that artstyle will be way more important then ever before.

I believe those new PDZero shots are from an old build of the game. That would explain the incongruency between the two "versions" so to speak.

Artimus · « **Reply #133 on:** May 14, 2005, 04:18:59 PM »

The Kameo character is (and has been since day one) so devoid of any personality...

because all the talent in Rare left? the real talent is in companies like Free Radical and Zoonami?

"because all the talent in Rare left? the real talent is in companies like Free Radical and Zoonami?"

I heard just two people from the original PD team left, actually. Try again.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #136 on:** May 14, 2005, 05:44:17 PM »

Two people from the original PD team left to form Zoonami alone...I'm not sure about how many from Free Radical are from Rare outside "Dr. Doak"...

That's what I heard as well, the two figure was attached to the Zoonami aspect of it. I'm sure there are more in Free Radical and even more that have left on their own accord, not to mention that many more people were hired at Rare to dilute the talent that still is there now.

I'm not saying Perfect Dark Zero is going to be a mediocore game going from what little we know, but more evidence does seem to point to that than that this one will meet the level of the N64 offering.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #138 on:** May 14, 2005, 07:10:40 PM »

I have to say that those new shots seem more likely to be real game shots of PD0. I think the first one looks like a cinema shot, but I think it is using the realtime graphics. I am not blown away by the new shots, but I am definately pleased, and I have new faith in the project.

I don't care if the original team is gone. The original team left enough blue prints to make a great sequel, and with online play Perfect Dark can beat out Halo 2 as the best multiple player experience ever. Which, isn't that hard, because Halo 2 really isn't that great to me.

I hope they include all the original levels from Perfect Dark, so we can relive our favorite moments.

Paladin: If you look you will notice I agree. I hate Halo 2. However, there are several, several people that disagree. Halo is slow, and the total feel of the game isn't intense or exciting.

However, I also can not deny that it is one of the most loved and played online games right now. Perfect Dark should be infinately better....IF they get it right. I think they will.

Same team or not, that doesn't mean jack. Any team can be replaced by similarily skilled people, the grunts have no input on the game anyway. The critical part is the leadership and management. Management can screw up any game with stupid demands and the best grunts couldn't stop it. Leadership determines where the focus is, what decisions are made, etc. If the project leader decides "Hey, Halo is cool so let's have tons of identical rooms and little kamikaze enemies! Oh and get that unified ammo system everybody loves from DXIW!" there's nothing to stop them from turning the game into the next Daikatana. They have new leaders on the project. The game WILL be different unless those leaders have VERY high skill. Considering what we heard so far their new leadership also seems unexperienced (unless MS went in and fired the deadwood). Expect a game made with no understanding what made the first one great and little thought put into the game mechanics.

I've always thought that racing games involving real cars are the easiest games to make look real: they feature almost exclusively man-made machines that are supposed to look artificial. GT4 looks close to real, so simulation racers are no good at measuring the power of the next gen (or even the current gen). The buildings look nice--but not real.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #144 on:** May 15, 2005, 12:00:49 AM »

Apparently all of those old Enreal Engine 3 screens that were being passed around as concept art are really from Gears of War

Duke Nukem Forever on Xbox 360 - 03/05/2006

Also an article with Peter Moore
1up.com

Quote
That means launch titles like Rare's Perfect Dark Zero, a shooter that's already up and running with 64 players online. "Before Christmas, at Rare, 54 of us were in a game," Moore claims. "It would have been 64 but we couldn't find another 10 people."

Rare's fantasy action-adventure Kameo .........
now massive melees with more than 2,000 creatures on-screen, each driven by its own individual AI.

Project Gotham Racing 3, "150,000 people can enter an interactive World Cup a year out, and it'll be whittled down to two guys," Moore predicts. "And then they'll play eight o'clock Wednesday night in Barcelona, and we can all log in and watch."

2000 creatures on screen w/ individual AI routines = me impressed, now if they only didn't all look alike

In my opinion all PD needs a new story/weapons with a massive graphics update. The game play of PD is the direct decendant of Goldeneye, it doesn't need to change much.

Here's some geek trivia...
Why is Joanna Dark called "Perfect Dark"? There is a reason...

IceCold · « **Reply #148 on:** May 15, 2005, 05:37:17 PM »

It's her codename...She beat all the training score records and was labelled "perfect"

KDR_11k · « **Reply #149 on:** May 15, 2005, 11:32:56 PM »

I wonder if that "Dark" name was chosen because it sounds like "D'Arc"? I'm sure Brecht named his Joanna Dark character like that.

BTW, Jeff Minter finished something for the XBox 360. The system is going to fail horribly. Hell, he almost killed Nintendo this gen!

(since most here won't get it, Jeff Minter has produced games only for systems that failed. NGage-failed.)
