A Reflection Upon Perfect Dark

January 10, 2009 in Blog comments 1

Edge Online have produced a rather lengthy article all about the classic game Perfect Dark, with a lot of reference to another classic, Goldeneye.

For a classic multiplayer game, Perfect Dark suffers from a fairly major fault. It’s nigh-on unplayable. Those sleek offices and twisting tunnels have morphed into poorly textured geometric mazes. The explosions and effects, brilliant in memory, are muted. Most of all, the always-suspect framerate is now a convicted murderer. None of these reasons justify a return.

    Looking back, it makes me recall how much bang for the buck the game was. it may not be 'playable' by today's 60fps standards, but back then it was enough...you'd probably be surprised at how GE performs today, or the similar design oversights. Nevertheless. man was it revolutionary....and man did PD capitalize on those ideas.

    It's a shame developers today don't put as much energy into their titles.
    Mostly agree with that guy. I still think even today you'd be better buying PD than most shooters out there. So much packed into it its absurd. Screw the writer.

    Its a shame Rare today doesnt put this much energy into their titles.
