Still Perfect, Still Dark - Perfect Dark (Xbox 360)

[@MattMcMuscles]

Really had a blast playing this! I honestly wish more games got this level of remake (the Crash and Spyro games are almost TOO much of a remake) just take old N64 games, beef up the resolution, framerate and textures, and just let us have our explode-y blocky 3D fun! Also, fuck whoever is holding back Time Splitters remakes/collection.

[@Houldey]

I would kill for Timesplitters 2 and Future Perfect re-releases :( (On steam specifically for quality of life and modding possibilities :D)

[@punishedkoopy]

It always makes me sad to think about that Goldeneye 360 remake that got cancelled after it was basically finished.

[@Shinny1338]

Unfortunately this remake nerfs the options in multiplayer. On the N64 you had complete control over the team makeup. I was super excited to play some old scenarios my friends and I created as kids. We were unable to with the restrictions this remake has.

[@timmer919hep]

They need to do a remaster of Turok 3.

[@ChibiMotoki]

FOUR Joanna Darks... Perfect Dark Zero's "Raver Chick", the original N64 Jo, the Japanese N64 Jo, and the 360's Jo who looks like a mashup of both N64 versions. (but I like your description better... Rihanna Dark)

[@davidcole8500]

I actually played this game for the first time a couple weeks ago, and I was pleasantly surprised by how well it holds up. While the manual aiming was pretty finicky, the auto-targeting was reliable enough to make it playable. But what really made it stand out to me was the variety of gadgets the game gave you. I'll never forget uploading a virus to a computer with the data uplink and watching all the electrical systems in the area go crazy, with lights flickering on and off and doors frantically opening and closing. I also like how the game implemented increased difficulty without just spiking enemy damage and health, which I wish more shooters these days would take notes from. I can definitely see why people remember this game fondly.

[@Privatesargent]

The mission objectives were great, and in the second mission on harder difficulties you take the place of the negotiator instead of starting on the cliff which was a neat change.

[@KaptinScuzgob]

this was my first exposure to Good Reload Anims and boy howdy, what an eye-opener

[@philllllllll]

I miss mission, objective-based FPS. Seriously, give me more shooters with levels that have specific objectives and obstacles to complete rather than just "move through corridor killing things until you reach the end."

[@CarlVolt]

Always support Perfect Dark vids.

[@easterwood666]

Every intro on the 64 was god like...donkeykong rap, mariokart, even the cake letter from Mario, with the Camera swoop... underrated...

[@ladyvenompunk6178]

"tempurpedic glass" is my favorite thing

[@herofiction]

One of my favorite childhood games! My cousins, my brother and I used to play this 24/7 and we have tons of fond memories about this game.

[@grifferman]

Lot of good times with university housemates playing the multiplayer. One hit kills, us three on a team versus a team of every difficulty of sim, plus one Dark PeaceSim who would just go around disarming everyone and instantly became the priority target.

[@noisypuff]

I remember playing this for 12 hours with my brother ...I miss those days

[@Strolpol]

Pretty sure this game has more multiplayer customization options with the different bot types and weapon loadouts than any modern shooter.

[@A_J-]

Perfect Dark was probably my favourite non-Zelda 64 game! I got my 64 when Perfect Dark came out, so I kinda missed the Goldeneye train (but when I did eventually play it, I found PD better in every way).

[@RuliJuega]

I demand a full LP of this. DEMAND IT I SAY! :b

[@linknlog]

This may have been my favorite N64 game. The single player and multiplayer were both so fun.

[@jacobsoper4708]

There seems to a general hierarchy to the Carrington Institute. People on the top floors like you. People on the ground floor are chilly but okay. People below ground literally ask why you haven't died yet.

[@ProfessorHubertFarnsworth]

My brother and I were super territorial about games. Whoever bought it was the only one who could play it, aside from multiplayer (and only if the purchaser OK'd it). He bought this so I couldn't play the campaign, but I bought GoldenEye so he couldn't play the campaign in that. Fortunately since he ended being way more into GoldenEye, he caved and I got to play this campaign. Then it just came down to the fact we only had one N64 and we had to share that. Oh the days of being....sadly....too old to be so god damn petty. We were both teenagers already when this came out. Now we are both old and I don't care about material possessions at all, he's still petty and materialistic though.

[@Timestrider539]

Dr. Carroll looking like one of those goofy Alienware laptops.

[@jhkuno88]

There are actually 4 Joannas. The japanese N64 game also has a different face.

[@ireaperslegend7426]

15:08 tempurpedic glass? Might have meant tempered LOL that got me good

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

While the expansion pack was mostly just used for hi-res modes and stuff some games such as Perfect Dark really needed it just to make such an impressive game.

[@zidanelionheart]

This game is so good. I love all the little gadgets and the secondary fire for weapons, plus the single-player was epic! Don't get me started on multi, it was GoldenEye 2.0 for those of us who grew up on the 64. My favorite gun is the 3-shot burst alien pistol.

[@vchill79]

Probably the best game on the N64, also the music in this game is dope

[@eversogaza5491]

The original Mr. Blonde was way more sinister

[@jacobsoper4708]

Fun fact. The N64 face texture for Mr Blonde is a modified version of a photograph of Mr Stamper (Götz Otto) from Tomorrow Never Dies.

[@v-trigger6137]

They should had been remastered this game for PC

[@Bitchblaster]

I f'ing loved pd back in the day,this series need a revival

[@awaranoid748]

it's coming

[@agt_pendergast8899]

I could never get into PD as much as I did Goldeneye. Some levels seemed great, but others really dragged it down for me, especially involving the aliens near the end. But I got to give it props for putting in a coop mode and the counter-op mode, and just stuffing it full of features.

[@sambeasley444]

I used to play the shit out of Goldeneye as a young babby, and I remember renting Perfect Dark once and fucking loving it because it's core gameplay was Goldeneye but in a cool unique setting. I never did finish it until I bought a copy in college and that shit was still poppin, until the last part of the game where it goes down hill.

[@antonsanders3926]

Tempur-pedic glass...🤣🤣🤣

[@HunterLyonIsAPerson]

Any chance Hybrid Heaven will be seen in the Flophouse?

[@jake51515]

I need to get this game again. I miss playing 2 player with my brother going against cass sim! My fav gun was always the dy357 magnum.

[@starkillerguy193]

Please play Tenchu Z next!

[@shimotuazuma9485]

Whoops, I read it as perfect dank

[@christopheye]

Marathon had secondary fire in 1994.

[@justanotheryoutubechannel]

I love Perfect Dark so much but I really wish they hadn’t changed the character models (and models in general tbh) because I love the originals so much, they’re so ridiculous and blocky and it’s totally beautiful. To be honest I wish they included an original graphics option since I prefer the original models. Also the new models look very uncanny valley when they animate talking. Personally I play the N64 game emulated in 1080p30 (I aim for 60 but the 60fps hack glitches sometimes) but I would like to play the whole game in 60fps with higher quality textures and voice samples. I’m happy with my N64 version though for now, I kinda like the blurry textures and the compression hiss on the voices is kinda cool tbh.

[@snowytundra1722]

This was so much fun! I love PD.

[@TheEmuWars]

Playing in 2023. Smashing the Combat Simulator❤️✌️

[@jordank6546]

is it me or does this game look way good then an hd port should look?

[@josesosa3337]

In the early 2000s I had a friend in Dominican Republic who had this game. I dont remeber if it was in a computer or a Nintendo 64 but I remember sucking.

[@oh2446]

Still one of my personal favorites.

[@xAuragothx]

I'm going to be thinking deeply about tempur pedic glass for a while.

[@retroinspect]

The first secondary fire was some PC game :D Probably Star Wars: Dark Forces. When it comes to innovations in video games LucasArts did a lot of "firsts" and everyone forgets about it.

[@Emil-lf3no]

I remember there being security cameras to shoot at the first mission...

[@purple6012]

The xbox 360 version looks so beautiful, its a shame there's not an official pc port.

[@doubledont4949]

This remaster looks timeless, gotta buy a xbox 360 so I can check it out

[@kogamei]

Rainbow six vegas 2 has putting your face on your character too

[@NinjaPieceLOL]

Joanna's redesigns throw me off. Before I played Perfect Dark Zero, I thought it was a new character. She looks too different!

[@iamLI3]

still perfect indeed - except for the framerate - , but i never looked at the remake before so wow thanks for showing that it is cool and looks like it hasn't been ruined censored in any way :O , shame about needing to change the faces though , joana is as significant a strong (as in well made) female protagonist in video games so her image is iconic.....

[@theparodychannel7842]

I rele thought the thumbnail said perfect dank

[@LT_LAZER]

Good luck with Armorines! Hahahaha

[@talesofthebandit3332]

Armorines would be sick

[@torgogorgo1888]

Have you tried Perfect Dark on Gameboy Color? I've heard it's not bad, but the tutorial is long and near impossible it seems

[@Daslatcher]

Unreal had secondary fire modes(, not sure if it was the first game to have it though.

[@silverroddo1468]

Nightshade for the ps2, i had that game, but didn’t get around to play it unfortunately. Maybe, play Nightshade, it’s looked cool, you get to play as a girl ninja, a kawaiinoichi or whatev’.

[@JasynSuin]

Goddammit Matt, why did you have to remind me of Armorines?

[@SubscribersWithoutVideos-ky4wf]

I'd love to see you playing Shadow of Oblivion if you have it on N64.

[@MattMcMuscles]

I do!

[@Raco-vb8gc]

I've been patiently waiting for this like a T-1000 making beef stew

I liked Goldeneye more, but weapon selection in Perfect Dark was awesome.

Lol it probably was a PC game.. I mean blood is the first one I personally can remember

[@TheGagginator]

Play some of Cauldron's (who made Jurassic The Hunted) other games. With hits like History Channel's Battle for the Pacific, Secret Service, Civil War: Secret Missions, and Soldier of Fortune Payback, you're bound to have some fun. They're a guilty pleasure of mine. I know they're shit games, but I genuinely enjoy that kind of jank.

I have Secret Service and Solider of Fortune, that's about it though.
