No, not Kameo. Kameo was another game originally going to be for ethe N64, but it was delayed. With 12 years behind it, logic should tell us it would trump anything on the market. Yet, this doesn't seem like the case...

Graphicaly it is pretty amazing, but not my type. I like realism and great gameplay. PDZ offers everything I can hope for in the next gen games, and I am one of PD biggest fans.

Kameo and PDZ were both planned for the Gamecube, Kameo still has some Gamecube graphics and PDZ has some ai code from when it was in development for Gamecube.(interview)

If you see some bad textures it is probably because they are old.

Perfect Dark 2 will have all new textures and will really show off the Xbox 360, but it will be a while before that comes out.

yeah, but I doubt it will take as long as 6 years to release it this time.

you never know... and PDZ was not in dev. for 6 years

Exactly my point, they didnt work their arse's off for 6 years and not get a near perfect rating, they were merely waiting for the next gen kit, so they could start it. It will probaly take less than half the time. At least 2 bloody years I promise you.

dudes, its like this, a lot of people are blaming on the 360 graphics because although the graphics are great, people are expecting more, even i admit that although the the graphics are supurb, there not mindblowing, problem is that they wont start seeing true off the top visuals until id say around next year, when developers are more associated with the system and utilizes all its power, hell most 360 games out now only use 1 of its 3 processors. on another note, the ps3 has therotically 7 processors , which means development costs will go off the roof, especially cause unlike microsoft, sony insists that all its games have to represent visuals of the next gen era, but the real deal will come when a concurrent game for both systems comes out, then we will see whihc system is more powerful, i think UT 2007 is one.

read this all you fags flaming this game.

It's a really absolutely horrible game and the graphics are far under-par for the next gen standard.

I love the graphics, I thought Doom 3 was good, but these just made me cream in my pants.

I must admit it does look good but everythings just TOO shiney.

i agree, it looks like a coat of gloss has been poured over it and it makes it hard to look at.

Other games have done that and have pulled it off. Bungie dumped the "shine" on Halo 2 as a way to fill in the jaggies. Halo 2 actually has far worse graphics than Halo 1. Guild Wars did it, but not to cover jaggies. Guild Wars had a low budget, and spent money on gameplay, and used cheap graphics to get peoples attention. It's hard to pull off good graphics in game that's as cartoony as PDZ. The modeling and rendering on the environments and on the guns,however, is breathtaking.

I think this is being a little ignorant. While I agree with you it's not totally next-gen standard (what launch game is?), for the art direction the game shoots for it looks really great. The plastic models would look out of place in, say, F.E.A.R., but F.E.A.R. obviously isn't going for the comic-book style like PDZ did.

Not every next-gen game needs to be set in dark corridors and have amazing volumetric lighting and soft shadows, etc.

It's not that good, dude.
