Which version do you guys like more? This may sound crazy, but I actually prefer the original. I liked the more gritty/realistic art direction compared to the more cartoony style of the XBLA port. It seemed like the 64 version was also more challenging (probably due to framerate issues), and I'm not exactly sure that the 60 fps enhancement really makes the game any better. IMO the higher framerate makes it feel too different in some ways. Sorry if I sound a bit like TurboChickenGuy from the old forums.

That is a hard question for me. I kinda liked the slightly more realistic style of graphics in the N64 vs the brighter color pallet in the XBLA version. I would have liked to play XBLA multiplayer more to see if I could fall in love the same way I did the N64 version. It's a tie for me. Ill trade favorable graphic style for 60fps and 1080p any day.

It's definitely a bit of a give and take for both versions. 1080p and 60 fps are great features, but I feel like they altered the feel the of the game significantly. I wish they would have given us that classic textures/models option they were going to include in GE XBLA so we could have had the best of both worlds. Heck, I wouldn't have minded a 30 fps lock option. All I really ever wanted was a stable framerate. 60 fps just looks...awkward; especially with a game that was never intended to run at that kind of speed. I think the option for online MP in the XBLA version was also a big plus, but it also opened a completely new set of problems. The netcode was bad and it was never patched (coop is unplayable due to lag imo), there was never a custom games browser, and the matchmaking playlists were awful to say the least. Overall I think they botched the online component and it's why matchmaking died out within months. It's also too bad the game never received the post launch support it deserved. It got what...two patches? Things like non-functional smart slo-mo, controller option bugs, the terribad netbad game e, and the awful playlists are still in the game today, and it's really a shame considering the potential this game had. Plus we never got the DLC that Klobb promised us pre-release. So many broken promises looking back on it now, but that's just water under the bridge for GE/PD community at this point. The biggest travesty of all though. This abomination: All kidding aside, the new K7 skin was awful. Imagine how awesome it could have looked had they taken advantage of the higher poly count. Anyway, sorry for the long rant. Just had to let my inner TurboChickenGuy out.

Second sentence of the third paragraph and third sentence of the third paragraph got screwed up big time. I meant to say bad netcode if you're confused. Not sure what happened there.

It just happened again and I made sure I typed it correctly. Any reason why it would do that?

Caw a Doody is a "Bad game" and will be labled as such. Sorry fella. We don't take to kindly to that kind around these parts.
Seriously though. Any time you spell anything with c.o.d. in it, it will do that. I don't think we can fix it... oh hell Ill go fix it dude.

Ah, I see what you did there. The C.o.D hate is a bit out of control on the internet imo. That franchise does what it does fairly well. Greedy corporate publishers are at the root of all the problems that plague the industry, and C.o.D is just a byproduct of this. Anyway, thoughts on my second rant post?

Lol I was going to say about TurboChickenGuy, I remember a really long post about this on Xbox forums and he nitpicked the shit out of PD XBLA right down to not liking the menus.lol
I thought they improved most of the skins on the guns, the farsight looks awesome mabye they just ran out of time to do anything with the K7. I would say it still look better just because its in HD

I would say it still look better just because its in HD I would agree that most of the models look just as good if not better than the original N64 ones. The K7 however is the big exception to that imo. It's just....not shiny In all seriousness, it's a tiny nitpick. I'd rather have a proper patch that fixed all of the serious issues any day. Like I said earlier though all of this is just water under the bridge. As for TCG I recall being one of the only people that actually liked him. The community essentially ran him out of the forums for being too critical of the port, and while he may have gone a little far at times he had many valid concerns/criticisms. People forgot that he was the one who organized/hosted most of the PD community events. Actually, I wish we could get him on here since most of his haters left the community. Anyone still in contact with him?

TCG was annoying as hell. Yes, he had valid concerns at times but most of the time I swear all he wanted to do it point out the smallest of flaws on a (at the time) half finished port. He was a borderline troll. If he hadn't once and awhile pointed out legit concerns I would swear he was there for the soul purpose of trolling the forum.
I'm just happy I can play a solid port of Perfect Dark on a current gen console. I hope they carry XBLA over to future console generations so we never have to lose it again.

I remember TCG really bugging me prior to release, but then the game came out and I realized he was right on a lot of things. The real troll that plagued our community was Littlebabypig. Anyone remember that moron and his stupid Scarface gamer pic?
Anyway, I too am happy that we have an updated version of arguably the best console FPS. It's just a shame it never got the attention or support that it deserved.

Lets not talk about that littlebabypig guy. That guy almost made me leave the Perfect Dark forum for good just because I wrote a potentially controversial thread about Cliffy B and the jocks of alpha gaming and he would not just let me have my opinion. It's a long story.That guy loved to argue more than life itself.
If I saw him and TCG at a bar. I would buy TCG a beer and not piss on littlebabypig if he was on fire. Harsh? Yeah, he likes it that way.

LBP sucked so much because, aside from being an obvious troll, he inadvertently created the 1337 MLG Pro Tryhard portion of the community. People like him, michel, Sputnik, and others turned PD into a dick-waving contest to see who had the bigger E-peen. Maybe I'm the only one that was bothered by this. I dunno...
