Here are some brand new shots of the XBLA remake of N64 classic Perfect Dark running on 360 hardware.
As you can see, the blurry resolution and texture quality of the N64 original are now pin-sharp, the guns look to have been re-skinned with more detailed textures and Elvis has had a techie make-over too.
Perfect Dark on XBLA will also feature online play via Xbox Live, which should be ace.
MS said it'd do it's best to answer any questions we have about the remake. So we asked some:
Other than a re-skins is there any other added content in the game?
MS rep: Not talking about that at the minute
When is it out?
MS rep: Release is still planned for 'Winter'
Does it have updated dual-analogue controls?
MS rep: Let me check to see if we have spoken about this yet.
Its MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE, you're not allowed to download it.
Cant wait for it. Rare arent porting it, the people who ported the Banjo games are doing it apprantly which is good news because they did a fantastic job with the Banjo games.
I was so damn happy at work when I read online multiplayer has finally been confirmed
But as much as I'm loving the new hig-def graphics, I'm not liking the re-skinning. The Farsight looks more like it should be an underwater weapon, the Magsec is just about recognisable and what in the hell have they done to Elvis?
Just gotta hope they've at least kept Joanna's original look or I'm going to cry. (Also hope they've kept all the scientists faces like the original dev team's and Shigsy's! -But doubt that will happen...).
Still waiting for camera support confirmation (it better happen ) and a release date though!
