Eurogamer- New images have emerged from an early version of Perfect Dark Zero slated for the Xbox.
Before Perfect Dark Zero was an Xbox 360 launch title, it was in development for the GameCube. Then Microsoft acquired Rare in 2002 and it became an Xbox game with a decidedly different look for its lithe protagonist. It then went dark for awhile as it was substantially redesigned into an Xbox 360 launch title.
Perfect Dark Zero launched alongside the Xbox 360 back in 2005, to much criticism. 18 years later, is it worth another look?
Perfect Dark Zero was the first game that I purchased for my XBOX 360. I still have the game in my collection. I think I played it for about 45 minutes in total over the past 18 years. It's a really bad game, and I was so disappointed when I first fired it up almost 20 years ago.
I had fun with the mutiplayer. Didnt feel like Perfect Dark, but still had some fun with it
Full remakes of games are here to stay, and that's why we've thought up a list of 10 video game sequels and prequels that deserve a full remake.
Just can't take this list serious when they mention DA:2 and what they said about it.
Parasite Eve
The Bouncer
Dino Crisis
Metal Gear Solid
Silent Hill
Final Fantasy VIII
Croc Legend of the Gobbos
Chrono Trigger
Sonic Adventure
Mario Sunshine
your list is spot on. i always said parasite eve, metal gear solid, dino crisis and silent hill deserve a remake and would make tons of money right now.
Agreed with everything on this list. Glad you mentioned the bouncer. Didn't think anyone remembered that game lol. I Liked that game a lot despite the flaws with it. I can see them remaking it but it really needs to update the battle system and flesh out the story more in the remake.
BY THE GROWNGAMING TEAM: Video game sequels are given the best chance of success possible. They give players the opportunity to revisit a world they enjoyed exploring with a cast of characters they loved, usually with improved gameplay mechanics and graphics.
Some video game sequels eclipse the game that came before, but some sequels can, unfortunately, be huge disappointments.
These are the video game sequels that disappointed the GrownGaming team the most. Which one disappointed you the most?
Bought PF:Zero at the 360 launch and thought it was hot trash. That game deflated my desire to see that franchise make a return
Personally mine is a sequel to literally one of the best games of all time, and this sequel makes the first game mean absolutely nothing, this sequel is better off never being made, the story is just that bad. A huge shame because the developer actually has the best talent in the industry, but it only took a select few to ruin the game.
I thought watch dogs 2 more than perfect dark zero.
at least perfect dark remained the same as it's demo and E3 gameplay.
Halo 3( liked it but nothing compare to halo 1/2 so a tad disappointed, multiplayer was the shit )
Any assassin creed after black flag (again liked it but wasn’t as good)
Star ocean 4
The recent mass effect. ( mass effect 1 was only yhe reason I bought a 360 and what made me fall in love with the series)
Ratchet and clank All 4 one if you count that as a sequel
Kill zone shadow fall ( like halo good but wast like 2/3)
I can agree with those.
I kind of want to throw KH3. It was a good game, but for a final part in this first act Saga, I wish it went out with more.
Mafia 3
Perfect Dark Zero
Mafia 3 was a pretty big disappointment give us awesome characters setting and music only to make you repeat the same racket disruption actions over and over for hours until you get Sal's attention instead of fleshing out the story
It was like far cry camps on steroids and relies to much on fanfare of Mafia 2 by giving vitto such a large unessacery role a cameo is fine but I want to live in the world mafia 3 is building not be reminded how badass vitto was and make it look like he can't take on a gang of thugs at the docks now.
tell me why Dead Space 3 disppointed you? i'm very curious..
i loved it, it improved over DS2 in many ways. Only weakness is lack of monster variety.
The seemless experience with no load screen between chapters, weapons customisations were great additions.
It was a shit horror game
It went full on action
They added some generic space marine as your buddy, even though they had Ellie
They obviously didn’t learn from Capcom with what they did to RE5 after RE4
The story despite being silly got far too dumb this time round.
You could end up over powered far too quickly
It wasn’t survival horror...you know, what the game is supposed to be.
It’s the worst one in the franchise and hell...it pretty much killed it.
I never saw dead space as a survival horror.. It has always been an action game for me and DS3 was good in that sense.
I would have preferred if it was darker like ds2 though, but I had a blast until the platinum

I don’t hate any or these games, but my list would be:
Dead Space 3
Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm
Sly Cooper 3
Perfect Dark Zero (this is technically a prequel)
Gears of War: Judgement (again a prequel)
God of War: Ascension (again a prequel)
Mass Effect 3. It was the typical sequel where it looked and played better than the previous entry but it felt like it was missing the charm of the last one. Some of my favorite crew mates were reduced to cameos in 3 and the new ones just weren't as good. The eventual fix they offered did little to rectify it either.
*sigh* If the only Rare hadn't switched to Xbox at the time and stuck with the Gamecube... Perfect Dark Zero might have been a wonderful game. :\
People should stop complaining about Rare being owned by Microsoft. I know its depressing what has become of them, stop beating the dead horse.
Logic awards.
Here's hoping they kick off the Xbox 720 like they did the Xbox 360. The first couple of years the Xbox 360 had some amazing Rare offerings. Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark Zero and Kameo Elements Of Power.
From their hiring practices, it looks like they are working on a new first person shooter. Would love a reboot of Perfect Dark.
Always fascinating to see stuff from cancelled videogames. Dinosaur Planet.. Sonic Xtreme.. Earthbound 64.. Gunvalkyrie for Dreamcast.. what could have been!
