Lighting effects on gun surfaces look ridiculously good for 2005. Art designers must have spent an unreasonable amount of time polishing the effects for them to look so good ‘till this day. God I wish these games were on PC.
Holy shit the p90 mag is transparent and actually depletes the ammo. That's fuckin insane for 2005, hell most games still don't do that. Edit: omg the m60 reload where she subtley moves the bullets in place on the feed tray. That's crazy man
Some weapons have 3rd functions, like at 4:42 If you hold down the right bumper and then hit the left trigger you can equip the FAC-16 with a suppressor.
Abso-fraking-lutely enjoyed watching this weapons showcase of Perfect Dark Zero The FAC-16 Colt with underbarrel Grenade Launcher is, By Far, my Most Absolute favorite
I can't believe we're 3 years ahead of the year this game is set in. And we're now living in the year the N64 game is set in... I want my flying taxis, laptop guns and wrist-mounted lasers. :(
I remember this game. I still vastly prefer the original Perfect Dark, but not for nostalgic reasons. I gotta say though, PDZ's weapon design was actually pretty cool. Some weapons (like the FAC-16) even had tertiary (a third) mode, where it would even add a suppressor. It's a very clever way to diversify a weapon sandbox, a lot like how Halo does. Although, a lot of them were gimmicky, I like to think that a modern adaptation of the game would see most of these modes reworked or remade into something a bit more practical.
@@LongNguyen-qg8yj It still holds up fairly well graphically for a 2005 game. Learn to appreciate the smaller details rather than just deciding on first glance
This game is underrated and overhated, don't get me wrong though, it's no master piece, but damn it was actually lots of fun to play, people just dismissed it because it has basically nothing to do with the OG Perfect Dark aside from the name and Halo 2 had not released that long ago back then. Perfect Dark Zero plays more like a mix between Halo and Classic Counter Strike than Perfect Dark, so it is widely different, but damn was it fun.
I wish guns in video games wouldn't continually click when empty. Most guns are striker fired and most rifles don't have double strike capabilities. What does this mean? It means when you pull the trigger on empty, the gun attempts to fire and drops the firing mechanism. It does not recock however. It doesn't continually click. You have to cock the gun again for it to click.
I think it's a throwback to Goldeneye, where the guns will "click" until you reload them. In reality, this has no bearing. The slide/receiver would simply lock back, where it awaits new ammunition. As you pointed out, you would have to cock it, to chamber another round, or, just make it click again, if there was no ammunition available. This could be a interesting detail to incorporate in a game.
Insane technical showcase for a launch title, plus the guns are all awesome and animated with so much care. I like the fact that you actually need to stop pulling the trigger so the character can reload the gun.
Yeah this game is a gem in comparison to all the garbage games released these days. If games are so much better than this where are they? I've been playing Valorant but the guns in Valorant are boring as hell in comparison. Valorant is a counter strike copy with very little creativity put into it. I just stopped by here to see what a game with actual effort put in looks like because If I make a game, I'll take inspiration from this and not the trash put out today.
@@TheUser3D to tell you the truth, many people felt that PDZ wasn't as good as the original. However, you can clearly see that some effort was put into it. I'd play PDZ over any other today's FPSs anytime.
@@LoStraniero91 I think the people that say PDZ was a bad game just simply don't know what they're talking about. Yeah they might be comparing it to the N64 version which is pretty unfair. I remember PDZ online during the launch period was an experience of its own. Playing the game modes like infection with 30-40 people, and 16 vs 16 Eradication. That was fun as hell and I haven't played anything like that since. It looks like trash now, but back then it was pretty damn good.
The revolver always pissed me off. They're double action for God's sake, and she's cocking the hammers back like a cowboy gun, and in the slowest and dumbest way possible.
It is quite literally the suppressor sound used for the Goldeneye 64 PP7 Silenced/Silenced D5K/Sniper Rifle. Also the sound for the Sniper Rifle in Perfect Dark 64 (the Falcon Silenced used a lower pitch version)
Playing this game in 4K with auto HDR on Xbox Series X really enhances the experience, wish it got FPS boost. Also they should totally release the Perfect Dark and Zero on PC.
it surprises me how loads of games dont even come close to this level of animation even today in 2022 and i can hear alot of sound effects from halo ce reused in this game like how sounds from ONI 2001 were recycled for halo ce I often wonder if the sound department for most gaming companies were on a low or simliar level budget to have such simliar sounds or if by chance they all happen to use the same sounds from real life objects
Dont care. Perfect Dark Zero is my favorite 360 game of all time. Its the game I wanted the most and its the game I still play and love. Yes, its not perfect ( lol ) nut it brought my years of fun and met some great people playing it. The game is so much fun even now! :3
For a 2005 game, this looks insanely good! It looks like a Jimmy Neutron FPS game! Is it better than the original PD, no but it's still fun and great to look at!
Are extra-shiny guns normal for the game or this is because of emulation? Regardless, those are some interesting guns. Wonder how TMP and laptop are supposed to work. Didn`t expect to see AK with stake launcher, I think only other time I saw underbarrel SL was in Blade (2?). What is M60 secondary fire? It looks like some sort of explosive, but I`m not sure. Also wth is jackal`s secondary fire, it`s so loud. What is the flicking motion PC does before cocking the hammer of a magnum supposed to be?
The AK's "stake launcher" is a bayonet that could be attached to the real life AK, but as a ballistic knife, attached under its barrel. The hammer "fanning" of the Magnum is meant to be a throwback to old-school Westerns, where they had single action revolvers, this is a Hollywood invention however, and is very difficult to duplicate (I'd assume it would jam) on a real life weapon.
The guns are actually pretty excellent for the time, considering how this was a few years before Far Cry 2 and COD 4. The sounds are obviously from some random library someone had lying around, but the animations are actually quite good for the most part
@@ckabtakamilitaryman3332 are we just going to ignore the fact these are supposed to be futuristic weapons? Like, the Mag Sec has bullets that ricochet a lot, you can throw the Falcon mag and it will periodically shoot bullets, you have a stake-launching AK-Thingy, a TMP with a Hologram creator, a Famas that shoots plasma, and I could go on and on, it's like judging Wolfenstein for historical inaccuracy because Nazis didn't win WW2. How about you go and judge a game that actually tried to market itself as realistic, like CoD Vanguard, Battlefield 2042 or other games, idk.

It's a classic arcade shooter done in the same spirit as Goldeneye 64 but for the 360 in 2005. Don't look into it like this, specially since it doesn't try to be realistic in the first place.
Last thing I remember about this game is it running like trash on XBOX ONE S 😂 I swear, I must have a faulty console. You have no idea how many games struggle on my Xbox One S. The older stalker games for example
It's such a shame that the new Perfect Dark game is probably going to suck. I mean, the story went from "it's 2020 and corporations own everything" (CORRECT), to "it's the future and the anthropogenic climate change is killing the planet." The story went from something realistic to something completely made up by the powers that be that work with the massive corporations that are actually polluting the planet. Judging from the physical appearance of the writer, it doesn't surprise me. I mean the protagonist went from having a very stylish punk haircut to having bright-pink feminazi hair. Oh, and I'm sure that the aliens will be introduced somehow because it seems to be the next big psyop. GG.

It’s crazy how you hear both Goldeneye and OG Call Of Duty sounds in the same gun for some of them.

Still have this Game. Its one of my favorites. The graphics are better than most games from new Systems and 2024 😂
