![]() Both of these races are engaged in an interstellar war with Earth and its two rivaling corporations caught in the middle. Reptilian like Aliens known as the Skedar. The game pits the Grey Aliens (Maians) vs. ![]() Debatably, as far as home console games went, GoldenEye 007 was the most realistic looking game that I had ever played (PlayStation included) up to that point (1997-1999), as I had never played a shooter on PC. Rare had a way to compress textures that was superior to Nintendo’s own compression methods, and its games used to somewhat bypass, for the most part, the typical ‘blurry’ looking texture work of most Nintendo 64 games. Then again, Rareware was known for pushing the boundaries of hardware…even further than Nintendo EAD did.īanjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 did not have the polish and excellence in game design of say, Ocarina of Time and Super Mario 64 however, Rare games, arguably, looked better. I couldn’t believe that my N64 was capable of such visuals, even with its 4MB RAM Pak expansion installed. I still remember the first time I saw Perfect Dark screenshots on magazines of the era. Perfect Dark Pushed the Nintendo 64 to its Limits Most will associate the legendary Golden Eye 007 with it as the premier FPS, but there were other greats, including its spiritual sequel, Perfect Dark. The N64 was home to the greatest first person shooters around (apart from PC) during its stint. The system, hampered by its chosen format for media (cartridges as opposed to CDs), featured some of, if not, the most revolutionary games of all time. A remaster, also titled Perfect Dark, featuring enhanced graphics and online multiplayer, was released in 2010.Nintendo’s 64-bit console was a great system, despite its failure to maintain Nintendo’s dominance of the home console market. It was supplemented by a Game Boy Color counterpart, which allows some gameplay options to alternatively be unlocked via a Transfer Pak. The game is occasionally cited as one of the greatest video games of all time. The game received the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Moving Images Award for 2000 and the Golden Satellite Award for Best Interactive Product in 2001. Critics widely praised its graphics, artificial intelligence, and number of multiplayer options, but some criticised its inconsistent frame rate. ![]() Upon release, Perfect Dark received critical acclaim and sold relatively well, eventually joining Nintendo's " Player's Choice" game selection. Shortly before the game's release, a feature that would have allowed players to place a photograph of their choice onto the face of their multiplayer character was cut due to sensitive issues surrounding the ability for players to attack images of real people. The game is one of the most technically-advanced titles for the Nintendo 64, and requires an Expansion Pak to access the campaign mode and most of the multiplayer features. GoldenEye 007 director Martin Hollis led the game's production for the first fourteen months of its near three-year development cycle before he left Rare to pursue other interests. As a spiritual successor to Rare's 1997 first-person shooter GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark shares many features with its predecessor and runs on an upgraded version of its game engine.
