Perfect Dark

[Loggo]

LOL δεν είχα μπει στο net από χθες και τώρα τα βλέπω αυτά.
Ρε έχουν ρίξει πολύ δουλειά τα παλικάρια, τι 1080p, τι 60fps, τι online, τι καινούργια μοντέλα,τα πάντα όλα έχουν φτιάξει. Αν αναβάθμιζαν και την A.I. θα ήταν το απόλυτο έπος.

Ειδικά στα 800 points, μιλάμε για εξαιρετική τιμή.

[Ramparter]

Η τιμη στα 800 msp ηταν εξαιρετικη κινηση και πιστευω οτι δε συμφερει μονο εμας αλλα και την Microsoft (Win-Win). Βλεπω πολλους να λενε οτι θα το αγοραζαν ανετα και στα 1200 και οτι 800 ειναι πολυ λιγα ομως προκειται κυριως για fans του παιχνιδιου. Δινοντας το σε αυτη τη τιμη ειναι σαφες οτι θελουν να προσεγγισουν και παικτες που δεν εχουν ασχοληθει ποτε. Πιστευω οτι θα παει πολυ καλα και θα υπαρχει αρκετος κοσμος online - κατι πολυ σημαντικο γιατι υπαρχουν games σαν το Outrun HD που με το ζορι θα βρεις 1-2 αντιπαλους.

Μακαρι να ριξουν τη τιμη και στα Banjo Kazooie & Tooie, το Tooie ειδικα δε πουλησε καθολου καλα, γιατι τους αξιζει να τα γνωρισει περισσοτερος κοσμος. Απο κει και περα θα θελα να δω οσο το δυνατον περισσοτερα ports παλιων παιχνιδιων, υπαρχουν παρα πολλα games της rare στα οποια δε θα λεγα οχι σε μια αναβαθμισενη εκδοση αντιστοιχη του Perfect Dark και μαλιστα σε αυτη τη τιμη. My wallet is waiting for you Rare.

“There’s a lot of stuff from Perfect Dark that I’m surprised people haven’t ripped off yet,” says Lobb. One such feature is the Counter-Ops multiplayer mode that put one player in the position of a random enemy. Once dispatched by Joanna, they’re redeployed as another enemy within the level. It’s a mode that’s been virtually ignored by multiplayer gaming since the original PD, but it’ll be back this March (and with an acceptable framerate for the first time).

Πραγματικα, πως γινεται να μην υπαρχει σε αλλο game αυτο;;;

The year is 2023. Technology continues to thrive and advance, bringing anti-gravity devices and holographic technology into reality. Many corporations have invested in furthering the world's hi-tech industry, with big businesses running the show. One such developer, the dataDyne Corporation, seeks new levels of technology ceaselessly in the race to be number one.

Recent developments have secured their lead manufacturing position, with companies all around the world sharing the fruits of their labor. Despite these advances, global prosperity is still unachieved, as the leader of dataDyne seeks power and dominance in everything she does.

Their latest invention certainly adds to dataDyne's ego, with the world's first sentient AI computer, capable of thinking and making decisions on its own. Named "Dr. Caroll" and developed in secret, the AI quickly demonstrates its robotic personality. It seemed the robot developed its very own morals and refused to continue with dataDyne's tasks, as it felt they betrayed ethical and moral standards.

Before dataDyne could counter the issue by removing Dr. Caroll's personality, the robot contacts the Carrington Institute - headed by world-renowned entrepreneur Daniel Carrington. Dr. Caroll hopes to find salvation and extraction from dataDyne with the hope of revealing their seedy and dark dealings.

Cue freshly-trained CI agent Joanna Dark, ready to face her first mission. Briefed on the extraction operation awaiting her, this mission seems ideal to launch Joanna's experience.

There's more than meets the eye though, as when Joanna recovers Dr. Caroll they'll discover the shrouded secrets of dataDyne and a hidden plot threatening the entire planet. The pressure's on, and the fate of many will rest with Joanna's success or failure.

| The Carrington Institute |

However, you can back out of this menu and walk around the Carrington Institute as Joanna. You can also fiddle around with objects that you find in the building. The Institute is a multi-story complex with a handful of rooms to peruse pre- and post-mission.

• The Firing Range. Here, weapons the player unlocks in the story mode and the challenges can be used in individually tailored target tests. There is a bronze, silver, and gold test for each weapon and winning enough golds will unlock classic weapons from GoldenEye 007 for use in the single player missions. The computer in the range's antechamber has detailed information about each weapon such as fire rate. The firing range also allows you to practice your shooting skill with each gun in the game (in story mode). When you complete all bronze medals, you get an achievement. This goes for the silver and gold medals too.

• The Device Room. As in most spy games, Dark has a host of gadgets she uses during her adventure. The Device Room lets you try them out instead of leaving you banging your head against the wall when you misuse them in the real missions, forcing you to start over.

• The Simulation Room. This room has several maneuvering exercises you can complete, most improving your skills in evasion and disarming opponents. It gives you the experience needed to deal with hostage situations in story mode. You'll need to be quick, witty and skilled with a gun and your bare hands for this room.

• The Data Room. The computer on the left side of this room has personnel information on important characters in the story. This information fills in through playing the story missions. Once you fill in this computer to its max on the characters in the game, you will unlock those characters in multiplayer mode.

| Story Mode |



Originally Posted by Giant Bomb:
The primary component of the game, Joanna must complete story missions, which are levels strung together by an overarching plot. There are no save-points in the middle of a level, and the player must restart the level after failing. Each has a set of objectives that varies with the difficulty setting, becoming more involved as the difficulty increases. There are three difficulty settings, but a fourth setting, Perfect Dark, lets the player decide the skill of the opponents. Perfect Dark difficulty is only available after completing every level on Perfect Agent, the game's highest difficulty.


| Co-Operative Mode |

| Counter-Op Mode |



Originally Posted by Giant Bomb:
Counter-Op puts a spin on co-operative play, with one player playing as enemies while the other controls Joanna Dark. The player controlling the enemies have the same low health, but takes control of another enemy after dying.


| Combat Simulator |

Combat Simulator gametypes:

• Combat: One kill equals one point. Players spawn in random locations on the map, possibly even in rooms with enemies present. Teams can be arranged.

• Hold the Briefcase: Grab the case and don't let anyone take it. The briefcase randomly spawns into the level at the beginning of the match, then trades hands every time its holder is killed; the case drops to the floor right where the previous bearer died. Holding the case for 30 seconds earns you a point.

• Capture the Case: Each team gets a spawn zone and briefcase they must defend while they attempt to perpetrate the same against their opponents. Three points are awarded for complete capture; that is, grabbing the enemy's case and bringing it back to their home case. The case can only be captured if your own case has not been nabbed.

• King of the Hill: Randomly determined areas of each map must be held for twenty continuous seconds to earn points. If an enemy steps onto the hill while you are capturing it, the timer pauses until they leave. Each teammate on the hill when the timer hits zero is awarded a point.

• Hacker Central: An obscure hybrid of king of the hill and capture the case, Hacker Central puts a computer and a data uplink on the map. In order to score points, a player must grab the Data Uplink, bring it to the computer, and hack it. Many obstacles stand in the way of success in this mode. For one, the Data Uplink must be held in lieu of a weapon while hacking, leaving the hacker totally defenseless. The Data Uplink also doesn't just drop when its holder dies; it re-spawns in a distant location.

• Pop a Cap: One kill equals two points if you shoot the right person. Pop a Cap assigns a player special target status until they die, making them a more valuable kill. The target gets a point for every thirty seconds they go without dying.

| Challenges |



Originally Posted by Giant Bomb:
There are also 30 challenges in the Combat Simulator. They are played against bots, or "Simulants" as they are referred to in the game. These can be played by up to four players with escalating bot numbers and difficulty for more players. At first only four challenges are available, but each one you beat unlocks the next one. Beating Challenges rewards the player with extra weapons to use in multiplayer combat.


| Simulants |



Originally Posted by Perfect Dark Recon:
There are six normal simulants a player can battle against, as well as many special simulants which have a twist on their personalities. The simulants range from very unintelligent to almost unbeatable. You will have to face the range of simulants in each challenge, and as the challenges increase, you will battle against more intelligent opponents.

Standard Simulants:

• MeatSim
MeatSims are the easiest and therefore least intelligent of all the sims. This sim is the perfect choice for a beginner, as it's movement is slow and it has extremely poor accuracy. Take your time with these sims and use them for practice.

• EasySim
This simulant has basic skills, movement and accuracy, and it also is the first sim which uses the Disarm attack. Not very skilled, be careful though as they should not be underestimated. Use this sim for a casual and fun battle.

• NormalSim
NormalSims have the skill of the average player. These guys have much more skill than easy and meat sims, use these sims if you want to have a moderate challenge and a battle where you won't be guaranteed a win - just for something different.

• HardSim
HardSims are just that - hard. They move around fairly quickly and have higher accuracy. They can easily pick you off from a distance, and they also tend to run backwards while somehow managing to fire at you. Use these guys only for a real challenge, using one is fun, but if there's a group of them, look out.

• PerfectSim
PerfectSims are the ultimate opponents, they move around at a high speed and can accurately hit you even while running backwards away from you. Use these guys only if you're an expert at controlling your character, it also helps to know your way around each arena and where all the weapon placement areas are. These sims can really help you refine your combat skills, if you use them for a while, (be prepared to get beaten often) you should find fighting against the lower sims will be much easier.

• DarkSim
DarkSims are practically unbeatable - only use them if you expect to get beaten, big time. These guys are not human but robots, allowing them to race around a map at high speeds, they can also climb ladders a heck of a lot faster than any other sim. They have almost perfect accuracy, and can see you a mile away. This sim is only here for the most daring players, they do appear in three of the challenges, but apart from that, most players probably won't want to bother using them, as they are very frustrating. It is fun though to have one on your team, if you have one with you, don't bother fighting anyone else, just order the DarkSim to protect you and you'll probably never have to press fire.


Special Simulants:

• PeaceSim
PeaceSims protest the use of weapons and will only try to disarm you if you come too close. They will often run away from you, and will go around the arena grabbing as many weapons and ammo before you can get to them. The advantage is that if you blast them they will usually drop a whole heap of weapons for you. They won't put up much of a fight at all.

• ShieldSim
ShieldSims will always want to have full shield protection. If they lose even the smallest bit of energy from their shield, they will run off to find a new one, but if you chase them they'll run backwards and fire at you. If there are no shields in the arena, they'll start out with one, but they can't find a new one once it takes damage.

• RocketSim
This sim prefers to use any type of explosive weapon, it's obsessed with blowing things up - even if it means blowing itself away in the process. It will also use other weapons, but its priority is explosives. Try to use explosive weapons on it as if you can fire at a sim just as it releases a grenade or rocket, the weapon will explode in their face. The RocketSim will also tend to walk straight through explosions, I guess it thinks it can somehow survive them, but it usually doesn't.

• KazeSim
A KazeSim will ruthlessly hunt down a chosen target and will stop at nothing until the target is defeated. It will aggressively attack you and will tend to fire explosives even if it is near you. Be careful, this sim is not afraid to blow itself away.

• FistSim
FistSims will try to punch you and disarm you repeatedly. They won't use any other weapons, but if they get near you, they'll rip into you and circle around you to deliver some nasty blows. Your vision will get really blurry if you let one get close, try to blast it while running backwards to dodge it's fists.

• PreySim
PreySims will only attack players who have low health, have just re-spawned or are using an inferior weapon. They will hunt weaker players and ignore stronger players such as ones who have shields. This weakness opens the sim for attack from the stronger players.

• CowardSim
CowardSims will tend to just run away from you. They'll fire at you while running backwards if you chase them, so be careful. Try to stay alert though, as they will often try to attack you from behind or if you have an inferior weapon.

• JudgeSim
The JudgeSim will do the opposite to what the PreySim does, it will attck the winning player. This sim will stop at nothing to take the lead for itself, but if it is in the lead, it'll attack anyone to stay that way. Be careful if you're on top.

• FeudSim
The FeudSim will pick a target at the start of the game and will ruthlessly attack them for the rest of the game, even if they're taken down a few times. They will also fire on other players, they will just mainly concentrate on one. If you're the target, get ready to run, otherwise try to concentrate on other players or sims.

• SpeedSim
SpeedSims will move around much faster than human players and can easily outrun you if you don't know your way around. They will often rely on shields to protect them, their speed is only a way to get away from you quickly. If you stop moving while chasing one, it'll tend to stop as well, giving you an easy shot while they're motionless.

• TurtleSim
TurtleSims have a prototype shield generator which is twice the power of a normal shield, making these guys difficult to take down. Their disadvantage is that the shield slows their speed, making them easier to hit. They can often survive a direct hit from an explosive weapon, so constant fire is usually the best way to beat them. Be careful though, as they aren't stupid and will fire back at you with relative accuracy.

• VengeSim
A VengeSim will always attack the last player who took him down. It will only attack one player at a time, but if another player beats it before it can take down the other player, it will go after the new player, so be careful.
