PD XBLA

[A Black Falcon]

Didn't they want to give this treatment to Goldeneye? I remember seeing incredible updated screenshots of the first level (I can't remember the name), but disagreements between Nintendo and Microsoft prevented it from becoming a reality. Why can they do this for PD and not GE?

Nintendo killed it. They have some rights on the game evidently, and while NOA was interested, NCL absolutely refused to allow the deal (that would have allowed Goldeneye remake on XBLA and Goldeneye N64 on VC).

That's the story I've heard, anyway. It seems to likely be accurate.

Oh well, at least they're releasing the better game now anyway. :)

(I played a little of Goldeneye a few months ago... PD is so much better in just about every way. I couldn't stand it for long before I went back to PD.)

As for PD's framerate, I know I said it was the one problem, but I don't think it's a huge one, really. I mean yeah, the framerate is bad sometimes. That's true in many of the N64 games that really push the system's hardware. I'm pretty used to it. Oh, sometimes it's annoying, but not always... it depends on how low the framerate is and how stable it is -- a lower but stable framerate is less distracting than a higher one that keeps jumping up and down. PD... how bad it is depends on the mode, really. But even in 3 or 4 player mode with several bots I have no problem.
