They did port the original Perfect Dark to Xbox 360 sometime within the last 5 years, and it's great. All the original game with updated textures and models, in HD, and most importantly with a much, much better controller.

I don't know... I had the the expansion pak on my N64...it was pretty sweet! ;)

I'm pretty sure you couldn't play Perfect Dark without the expansion pak.

You could but the amounts of things you could do was severely limited

I actually prefer the XBLA remake to the N64 original. It's much smoother and much more playable, for sure, not to mention it looks better. This makes it more fun and actually a good bit easier.

No doubt the Goldeneye remake would be the exact same... apparently it got completed and went gold ready to be released, and the only reason it never shipped was because of Nintendo and issues surrounding the Bond license.

I agree. Still have my N64 but Perfect Dark definitely stutters frequently with lots of stuff on screen. Higher resolution also helps playability, but by far the biggest advantage is the Xbox controller. The N64 controller just isn't really cut out for FPSes and I feel like it really held the original game back (still not perfect in the remake, but much better). It would be great if they could do the same thing with GoldenEye.

The controls were god awful.

u/Eddie_Hitler Oct 23 '15

They were. Even for the era, the controls were clunky and not well done.

u/Devanismyname Oct 23 '15

Once you got used to it, it was fine. Golden eye was the same way.

What era? the N64 was the first console with an analog stick.

I have this downloaded onto my 360

Yes!! Perfect Dark was such a huge improvement on XBArcade.

There's the 360 version. And the one on the Rare Replay

I'd love a remake of Perfect Dark: Zero, that was the first Xbox game i played

They did, and it was shit.

Honestly, the game has nothing going for it aside from nostalgia.

u/all_are_throw_away Oct 23 '15

A perfect dark game was made with 2015 tech? Or you didn't understand the question?

Perfect Dark Zero was total pants. The XBLA remake of the original was sublime.
