The 360 version is so much better it's not even funny.

God I played that game a lot back in the day, but never bothered to emulate it. Modern FPSes always disappoint me with their weapon selection because I see Perfect Dark as the benchmark.

Favorite map is the villa, favorite gun Laptop gun, but there are so many fun guns. Loved how the Cyclone's reloading sounded.

>villa

My fucking nigga

>>13977221

>but never bothered to emulate it

You're missing out. 60fps PD with m/kb is fucking great.

Temple, Farsight XR-20. The cause of many fights between my friends back in the day.

>Favorite mission?

From a thematic/literary perspective, the first half of the game is pretty great, up until you end up fighting aliens. It's not that I dislike aliens, it's just that the beginning of the game seemed like it'd take an entirely different route, with the Datadyne conspirators doing something to fuck people over that is more grounded in reality (i.e. a secret group of international conspirators who seek to control all facets of society, or something like that).

From a gameplay perspective, I liked the Air Force One mission because it gave you a brief opportunity to act like an actual secret agent who wears disguises and bypasses security

>Favorite weapon?

Laptop gun and Proximity Mines for King of the Hill, SuperDragon for crowd control, and N-bombs for when you want to be an ass

<worst gun

MagSec4

>Favorite co-op mission?

Never did much co-op, unfortunately

>>13977221

Perfect Dark was a very innovative FPS and my greatest anger at the console FPS scene is that Halo came out a year later and ruined everything by making everyone forget all of Perfect Dark's ideas.

>>13977327

Gameplay wise the alien missions were great though

Speaking of alien missions, the extra post-game missions were a treat. the final post-game mission is the hardest on perfect agent

RCP-120 or Dragon

>>13977177

>The 360 version is so much better it's not even funny.

Is it really? I could get that one

>>13977589

High resolution textures, japanese Joanna Dark model, anti-aliasing, XBLA multiplayer support, stable 60fps, 720p, twin analog ,stick support, better quality audio.

>>13977600

>playing an fps with a gamepad

Yikes.

>>13977601

It's a console shooter.

>>13977589

Yes except the lighting.

>>13977606

Like every FPS, it plays infinitely better with M/KB.

>>13977612

I don't care, I hate emulators.

>>13977612

oh shit i found the hidden PS/2 ports on the N64

>>13977626

Hmm okay, I like ice cream. And hate black people or niggers as I like to call them.

I really liked the mission where you have to infiltrate the airbase. At least the concept of it and wish they went further with social stealth and exploring.

Atmosphere-wise my favorite mission has to be Chicago.

>>13977648

>And hate black people or niggers as I like to call them

Even Wolf?

>Favorite mission

It might be Chicago. It's small but dense with cool detail and Blade Runner vibe. I was so impressed that I was playing it on an N64 back at release. Hard to pick though, each level did something memorable and completely cool. Of everything PD did well, it did level design the best imo.

>Favorite weapon

The dragon, because my friends would always forget it was a proximity mine in multiplayer and I was really good at throwing boobytraps.

>Favorite co-op mission

Combat simulator, and holing up against swarms of difficult bots. I did a playthrough with the adversarial mode, trying to stop my friend, but it was a better idea than execution.

<biggest criticism

Why doesn't the goddamn dizzy effect go away after you die??? Combat knives and slowmo was kickass but you'd have to set the match to something short because soon nobody would be able to see shit.

<complaints

The N-bomb is a travesty.

PD1 to 2 is the biggest drop in quality in any franchise, ever.

>>13977587

RCP-120 is meme gun. Dragon is more useful.

Can N64 be mouse and keyboard'd on linux?

>>13977648

Good taste, anon-kun!

>>13977705

(old) Blues/Jazz is the only acceptable nigger music.

>>13977738

>RCP-120 is meme gun

You take that back!

>>13977742

Maybe through WINE or something.

>>13977152

Tried emulating it once years ago, seemed like a fun game but couldn't get into it because I couldn't use mouse, the auto-aim felt like cheating and that's no way to play. If there's some way to use mouse then I'll give it a shot again.

>>13977777

> >>13977776

>>13977777

There is a way to play it with M+KB and it works perfectly. It was even mentionned itt.

>>13977777

>the auto-aim felt like cheating

Auto-aim is actually a handicap in Perfect Dark because of headshots.

>>13977152

Have you guys ever played the second Ultra Dark game? It went by a different name I think but it was by the original team and they all called it the spiritual succesor, the story went something like this:

So there was this horse who wasn't actaully a horse at all and just a bomb, but a bomb made out of dead babies who were killed in the past life by vengeful widdows, widowed because there husbands were Africans, who left not becasue of some racist stereotype, but because they were going to Israel to aid in the army force against this mysterious Alien called 'big jew'. Anyways, this horse bomb goes off inside of Steven Pinkers puckered butthole and the entire academic scene goes into a rage, they bust out stethescopes and try to listen for loose beta particles but got caught up in the fecal matter, all caught colera and died. However, their stained souls turned them in the future life into black people, these went on to widow the widows, and the cycle renews. I thought the plot was brilliant

Anyone else remember this game?

The gameplay was sort of a mix of GTA, 52 card pick up, and the bee movie.

>>13977244

>not playing with two controllers at once

It was the proto-Switch/wiimote+nunchuck.

>>13977233

It's janky as hell, though.

>>13977905

I recently played through GE and PD with it, and never ran into any problems. Use the latest version.

>favorite mission

dataDyne Defection, blew my fucking mind when I was young, grew up a console gamer so I had never seen anything like it, even after playing goldeneye it was amazing, infiltrating an office building, stealthing through the first part of the mission, still excellent.

>favorite weapon

K7 for stoppin powah

Cyclone for fun

>coop mission

dataDyne investigation

>>13977152

>Favorite mission?

Data Dyne Extraction, I love shooting up corporations up.

>Favorite weapon?

Knife because you can fling it at people, probably the pistol because you can shoot weapons from people's hands.

>Favorite co-op mission?

The Villa

>I think the counter co-op mode was very ahead of its times. Imagine that but with 4v4 instead of 1v1 or at least 2v2.

No kidding, I even bought Brink for this feature but it turns out that it plays like a regular deathmatch with bots. I was so disappointed. The closest game that had this feature was Kane and Lynch 2's multiplayer. You played as a cop if you died as a heister.

I wonder why a company hasn't made an equivalent game mode yet? Does Rare have a patent on it or something?

>>13978183

Meant to say that I loved datadyne defection.

>>13977152

The cool part was that the protagonist was named after a Catholic saint.

>>13977152

I really wish they'd port the 360 remaster to pc already.

PD M/KB is the best. I want another shooter like it.

>>13977905

Two controllers at once is clunky and awkward to deal with (not to mention that hunting down two good analogues for the 64 these days is challenging). Plus you don't really need analogue movement, just analogue aim, the d-pad does handles movement just as well as WASD. My question is; doesn't it get awkward to reach up for the A/B? I could be wrong but when I do it I loosen my grip a bit, and I feel confident loosening my grip to do so because my other hand is holding the controller.

That said if you're just talking about playing with 2 controllers for how awesome it is that you can even do it, I won't deny that.

>>13977267

>Playing Fucking Perfect Dark

>Not using the Farsight

Go back to Goldeneye, fag,

I used to play this game co-op with my mum because I had no friends.

>>13980655

you got me, right on the feels.

the one with snow, super dragon and mines, because fuck you

Bought a 360 slim just for the remake. They even replicated most of the glitches. I can still pincushion the fag at the target range.

You can't put a male head on female body or a Maian head on human body anymore though.

>>13977612

>Like every FPS, it plays infinitely better with M/KB.

You need a custom setup of the controls for that, which incidentally you provide so you're not actually playing it with it's original control scheme. Otherwise you would need an actual controller. All N64 games have this problem.

>>13980945

google for "perfect dark 1964"

>>13977777

1964 emulator + mouse injector.

It's an awesome experience perfect dark / goldeneye with mouse+keyboard.

I remember finding the hidden cheeses in all the levels and wondering what the fuck they were for.

I hated Elvis, worst Rare character by far and Rare is nothing but shit characters.

Favourite mission is probably Chicago for the ambience, and I dig chicks in trenchcoats.

Favourite weapon is the silenced pistol. Simple and effective.

Favourite multiplayer map is probably the reskin of Control or Complex or whatever it was called.

>>13981117

I thought elvis was good for its time. As a kid, Don't mess with the maian was enjoyable, coming from all the seriousness in FPSes in that era.

>>13982554

Seriously. Acting like running around as a grey skin with the USA Flag strapped across your chest while gunning down all who stand in the way aint patriotic. Fucking commies.

>>13981057

PD is. GE is a much shittier game, No reload animations, AI is braindead, only real difficulty comes from the inane and unintuitive mission objectives

>>13980945

>you would need a custom setup of controls for that

1.2 control scheme, Analogue mapped to mouse, d-pad mapped to WASD, left trigger (aim) to right mouse, right trigger (fire) to left mouse, A (reload/action) to R, B (weapon switch) to E. That's it.

>>13982782

Nah, then you're just emulating an analog stick with the mouse, and that plays like shit. The real answer is >>13977626

I recently got this, so it'll be some time before I play through it.

>>13977244

I prefer 1.2 on the right.

>>13983166

>using the c-buttons as a d-pad

>when you can use the d-pad

to each their own I guess, still better than playing it with default controls.

>>13980911

It's such a weird change to do, especially in this era of 56 genders.

I am terrible sad they botched the online multiplayer in this game. It doesn't work well no matter how good your connection is. Splitscreen and System Link works great but online you are always bouncing all over the god damn place.

>>13985273

Given how Zero turned out, I'm not really bummed by that.

>itt shitter faggots hating on the best two weapons, the magsec and n-bomb

smfh

>>13983644

IIRC that's not an actual reflection, just a neat trick to give the illusion of reflection.

>>13985273

I was ready to buy a 360 at launch to play PD0, but before I did I actually got the chance to play it.

I did not buy a 360.

How Microsoft can continually fuck up so badly is beyond me. I guess that's what middle management is good for though.

>>13983644

>actually mirrored and/or extended below the floor, and the floor has some soft transparency to create this illusion.

Hah, I remember doing that with Valve Hammer Editor for some Half-Life maps. Fun shit.

i just wanna say thank you for this thread OP. i had no fucking CLUE they remastered this, i just picked it up for 10 FUCKING DOLLARS on xbox live after dusting off my 360 and beat the entire target range before doing half the single player missions. i dont have online service, is it worth it? is the "community" active?

>>13985965

>its a console shooter

>my 360 is from 2008

please stop trying to fit in reddit. this is a thread about video games

>>13985988

>Buying a 360, period

>Not playing the superior emulated version with M+KB

1964 too hard to setup for you?

>>13986003

>implying your mom didn't buy it for me after i dumped a fat load into her cervix

>implying i can play multiplayer or true split screen with emulation and maintain decent frame rate

stop screeching and trying so hard to fit in, its legitimately embarrassing. im gonna go back to playing while you monitor this thread for replies and virtue signal about emulation :)

>>13985273

Good, Rare is dead. Accept it and move on already.

>>13986302

Too late, i already suffered through hell on the N64 trying to speedrun those missions for the cheats, i unlocked them all

I loved spraying and praying with the Magsec, that gun was adorable how it sputtered everywhere. The Skedar gun was great at how alien it felt, with the clunky reload, how the empty shells jumped everywhere and the fact that it was held with two hands, and the spinning motion could be used to grind someone with it like a big blender.

I also loved the Falcon, every model. For a main handgun, it really felt like an Ol' Reliable, not like the embarrassing gun that you dump the minute you find another one.
