I can't imagine what it must have been like to have played PD on N64, and heard there was a new one coming on a brand new HD console as a launch title, and playing this.
Rare fell hard and fast, because as much as the gap seems bigger, there's only 5 years between this and the actual PD.
Perfect Dark Zero has less details than its n64 counter part, enemies dont limp when you shoot their kneecaps, blood effects are worse, there's no weight behind the guns.
And comparing it to the original shouldnt even be the standards used. Microsoft made its name by having the FPS king on the market, Halo, which had 2 very solid games by that point, and they dare release this.
Fuck this game.
