"Perfect Dark Zero looks good and is certainly much improved over the sporadic leaks we've seen and those early, rather bleak, screenshots. But even the build we played didn't convince us that Perfect Dark is entirely ready. It looks like Rare will work until the last possible day to put all the finishing touches on it, and in the meantime, we can say it was fun while it lasted. I'm not ready to say it's the killer-app we were hoping it would be. Hopefully, we'll be able to play a near-final or final build in the next month, at which time I hope to have better, cheerier news."

Not good.

LoL,one of the guns is called the "Super Dragon"? :lol

Never played the original, huh?

 

[IJoel]

No Alpha kits to hide now, RARE.

Color me disappointed.

 

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

Speaking of artillery, Joanna will wield three kinds of gadgets, the Locktopus (a lock-pick)

:lol

 

[SHOCKIE]

I wonder if PDZ will get delayed.

 

[Ramirez]

Yea,quite a bit actually...I don't remember that name though,heh.I guess it didn't sound so retarded at 13 or whatever I was back then...

[GeoramA]

interest in X05 dwindling

 

[Suikoguy]

I wonder if PDZ will get delayed.

Some of the issues sound too big to troubleshoot before going into production in less then one month (based on the Nov 15th in store date currently rumored).

At this point it will most likely not make launch, or rather it would be better if it did not for the sake of the game.

 

[Uncle]

Didn't Blimblim say that launch games should be almost finished by now? And the game is running @ 25fps? Damn. Delay, plz.

 

[Orin GA]

 

[Speevy]

:lol

Gaming history would be incomplete without a locktopus. So many keys, so many doors, only one locktopus.

Of course, Kameo should feature an ACTUAL Locktopus, the mythical creature that clears your path.

[Optimistic]

Fuck it. I've heard enough. Rare's clearly lost it. If Microsoft a. don't want to look completely stupid and b. want a gigantic hit on their hands, they should delay the game. Another delay would be quickly forgotten if the game, when finally released, was something special. If they release it around launch though, and it's anything short of AAA, well, I'd hope it'd sell like shit...anyway, as long as Rare release SOMETHING at launch (Kameo), I don't see it as a big deal.

 

[Razoric]

oh man what a mess :lol

 

[radrelic]

what happened to all the "eat crow" extremists? :lol

wait for delta kits?

wait for x06?

shame, i had high hopes for this game

 

[Shompola]

I am speechless. Not only are the graphics underwhelming, they cant even get a solid framerate for the moment. A lot of things are just wrong. I feel bad for them, moving projects back and forth between several platforms must be a nightmare.

 

[MrDaravon]

Wasn't it already confirmed that PDZ wasn't going to make launch, but be available by Christmas?

 

[fresquito]

Yea,quite a bit actually...I don't remember that name though,heh.I guess it didn't sound so retarded at 13 or whatever I was back then...

There was the dragon, being the second functionality turn it into a proximity mine. Then there was the super dragon, with a grenade launcher incorporated. The dragon was a killer-app in deathmatch play.

 

[quetz67]

They had better delayed Halo 2 for x360 launch

 

[op_ivy]

jesus christ, can we wit for a bit more hands on and videos before we all slit our wrists?

TIME FOR ANOTHER "TURN IN YOUR JACKETS" THREAD!

 

[trmas]

Oh my, this will not end well. What is scary is that is a 360 site bagging on the game. With DQVIII coming out on launch day, I'm starting to think more and more about waiting until after X-Mas. With Oblivion possibly delayed as well...

 

[Bob White]

This isn't and never was a next gen game. MS should have never forced them to port it to the 360.

 

[Jeff-DSA]

This is making me pretty sad. I want PDZ SOOOOOOOOOO bad but this news coupled with the newest screens is making my more than weary. I'm finally starting to believe that Rare may have lost too much when Nintendo parted ways with them.

Don't screw this up Rare! If you do, I won't be buying ANYTHING you release ever again.

 

[Dante]

Not too surprised by this. Wouldn't be surprised to see this get several delays. I mean come on t's Rare.

 

[op_ivy]

TIME FOR ANOTHER "TURN IN YOUR JACKETS" THREAD!

definitely. i'm on it

 

[Elios83]

Sorry if it's a bit OT but when X05 is supposed to begin?

 

[krypt0nian]

jesus christ, can we wit for a bit more hands on and videos before we all slit our wrists?

Why when FUD is sooo much more fun. AMIRITE?

 

[SuperPac]

25 fps and 49 days from launch? Delay am inevitable.

 

[op_ivy]

Sorry if it's a bit OT but when X05 is supposed to begin?

does it matter? its obviously over before it truly began, ign didnt bust a nut with their first pd0 hands-on

 

[VictimOfGrief]

HERE COMES THE SHIT STORM :lol

 

[Shiggy]

You should have used the new logo.

 

[Unison]

Don't hate guys, Obviously RARE is trying to make Perfect Dark Zero more cinematic by having it only run at 24 frames per second.

 

[Lakitu]

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

This forum is a trip. They said it was fun while it lasted and it looks better. The female tendencies of GAF rises again. If it needs a delay, then it should be done. If they get it together, kudos to them.

 

[Ghost]

Im not trying to debunk these impressions but after the shit IGN has peddeled as amazing in previews previously am i the only one who is suspicious whenever they write a negative preview?

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Honest feedback is definitely welcomed.

I'm a litte worried when launch games are reviewed they'll be to busy splooging over graphics to discuss gameplay.

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

:lol

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Latest EGM I got said it wasn't a launch day game anymore for sure. It is supposed to be a "launch window" game.

Nintendo am laughing :lol

 

[McValdemar]

This is a preX05 hands on, right?

With images grabbed from some kind of movie since their quality is very very low.

I still expect differecies with the final build.

We all knew it won't be so "Perfect" since the team have been able to work on final kits just few months, but I expect it to be a very very strong FPS, with superb multiplayer and great (even if not perfect) viuals.

Time will tell.

 

[BlueLegs]

The mission is set up for cover-your-buddy and single-player sections. Jack will yell at you, "Hey, help me out down here," prompting you to unstrap that sniper rifle and pick off throngs of enemies attacking Jack down below.

This is the worst gameplay gimmick people keep on putting in games, when will Rare learn that it wasn't fun when they did it in Goldeneye and it's not going to be fun now.

>_<

 

[Prine]

not worried in the sightest. Keep trying to break me GAF, aint gonna work

until we get some videos and more gameplay impressions, i still believe

See, thats where you are wrong IMO. Don't believe shit until you see it for yourself. As of now, I'm just laughing because I love the drama.

 

[Daigoro]

this thread is awesome.

 

[trmas]

I love video game shows. 24 fps would be a complete travesty though.

 

[----]

They didn't really criticize anything other than the framerate. So if they have the framerate sorted out by December the game could still turn out very good. The gameplay that IGN described certainly sounded very good. Hopefully they'll be smart and aim the release of the game to coincide with the European launch.
