"Perfect Dark Zero!!!!!"

For the first Perfect Dark Rare asked players what they wanted through things such as N64 magazine! Then they inclueded alot of them things in the game. That got me thinking what I would like to see in the Perfect Dark Zero. (Who knows they might just see this forum)!

I would like to see an internet link-up feature! Maybe one where you can play against every other person who is playing PD online! Of course you couldnt have everyone playing all at once against each other! So instead you are given a skill level (a number, and every one staarts off at skill level one! Then they fight everyone else who is on that skill level (or maybe the one above), then when you beat that person your skill level increases, then you can fight evveryone with that skill level (or above). This way you get to play against people that are of your level of skill, and it also makes a score board of who is the best at PD!

What do you think? And what would you like to see inclueded in the game?

Were've got a 128k modem connection in our house, and my mate was playing an online games before we put it on the network, {thus only connected to his computer}. And the game he was playing still wasn't running at a brilliant rate.

The internet in the UK at the moment is skanked up, and I don't see it improving any time soon!

Also it's not the cheapest thing in the world. It's ok in my house cos we get it free 24/7 and it's only £15 a month between 4 people. But if you had to pay that on your own when at home, I can see as many people being bothered to do that.

I've got a Dreamcast and i've NEVER botherd to use it online. Why? Cos it's pointless! If I want to surf the net, i'll use my PC where I have a mouse n keyboard and also a decent resolution. As for the online games. Well there was only Phantasy Star Online really, and I ain't got that game. And I run up a big enough phone bill when at home, without the cost of playing that for hours on end!

So my point is. Yey for consoles to exploite network play more! Kinda like Wipeout on the Playstation. Only the problem with that was that you HAD to have 2 Playstations, 2 TV's, and 2 Copies of the game. I just want to be able to have 1 machine, 1 games, but 2 TV's!

Actually i've done that before! I used the signal from my N64 and made it go to 2 TV's. I then stuck a bit of cardboard over half the screen on each TV so that I could play Goldeneye with a mate, but without being able to see the other players screen. It was quite good, but everytime you came back to the options menu, you had to take the cardboard off so that you could see the whole screen!

:)

The link up would be good because although you can get more players on the internet, there's nothing like having 8 players round your house.

I'm looking forward to broadband gaming too though, for when my friends aren't round to play.

Cooky, broadband is much faster than normal internet. There won't be any lag.

All I wanna c is Joanna. But they say they've swopped her for someone else, Velvet Dark possibly....
I think Jo rules jus like Cate Archer in NOLF !!!

I don't really care much for internet functions. Yes it would be quite a nice addon but i'm not too much of a fan of online play:-

1. Nothing beats having your mate there when you beat him, so that you can laugh at him. Or just talk to him.

2. The internet costs far too much.

3. It's normally really slow n laggy.


What they should use for the next Perfect Dark game is some sort of network mode. So that you could have 2 Gamecubes and 2 TV's, link them up so that you could play against your mate, and have a whole screen to yourself. Well actually it'd be good if they could do that whereby you only needed 1 Gamecube. Whereby the signal goes to 2 tv's.

:)

Why have four gamecubes and TVs when you could play multi player over the net with the broadband modem! That way you could play against people you do and dont know, so you can really find who is the best aat it!

I'd really like it to employ a 4 Gamecube link up feature so you can have 16 players round.

4 player per Gamecube, each Gamecube representing a team.
4 teams of four HUMAN players competeting in the same room (although you would need 4 TV's) would definately be exciting.

If that's not possible though, I would happily settle for 8 player games (just 2 Gamecubes linked up.)

I would love to see a more discernable Rating system in Multiplayer (so you actualy know how to get up certain levels) and extra levels, an dplenty more of the ones where you have to sneak about (like G5 Building)

yeah, maybe you could got through the whole game again once you've won it but get to play as Elvis, who can fit thru small gaps allowing him to take totally new routes through missions. Each character could even have their own set of earnable cheats. But this would be in effect more than 1 game (as many as there are characters) so Rare could be developing it for AGES. (no change there then) :-)

I also think it wouldd be good if you could choose the character you want to play the single player game with, because Joanna isnt the only agent! Maybe each character would have to go about doing the level in a different way. In other games where different characters mean different ways through the levels it hasnt been that great but if anyone can get it to work its Rare!!!

there should be more levels with even more variety (eg. more sniping in various parts of levels, and DEFINATELY more bits like the vault section where u r backed into a corner and have to defend from streams of enemies a la Control room in Goldeneye). Also more multiplayer arenas taken straight from the 1 player game (that way you actually know the layout) and co-op and counter op without slowdown. That internet idea sounds pretty cool too. oh and a button that you can push to instantly use a combat boost so in each mission you just get a set number of boosts and you don't need to constantly switch from weapon to combat boost and back to weapon as soon as u use one. Combat boosts are one of those really cool features that Rare should exploit to the full for the sequel.

So long for now.
