Perfect Dark Movie/TV Show

Fireworks Entertainment and Goodman Rosen Productions, the
duo behind such hit syndicated shows as "Relic Hunter" and
"Andromeda," have acquired the TV and film rights to the
Nintendo 64 sci-fi shooter "Perfect Dark." Variety reports a
show chronicling the adventures of secret agent Joanna Dark
as she tries to prevent an alien invasion of the Earth,
circa 2023, could launch as early as fall 2002, and a
feature film is also in development.

WOW! For anyone who has enjoyed this great game this is
excellent news. And for the people who haven't played the
game well you have a great movie/TV series to look forward
to!

Computer games do not translate into films and vice versa.

GOLDENEYE WAS THE FUCKING GAME OF THE 90's.

And I think Half Life would make a wicked game. it all
depends of how its done and the game.

010101 you are so right! Do you remember what a shit film
Street Fighter was??? Goldeneye was an excellent game on
the N64, it was one of my favourites. In fact, I really
enjoy James Bond Agent Under Fire on PS2 - that too, is
amazing!!

Mario Kart 64 was mad - so crazy! Definately in my top ten
games of the 90s!

Perfect Dark is the best console game I have ever played. I
am a master of the far sight rifle :)

I loved playing Mario Kart on the SNES. ahhh, there's
nothing like sitting around with your mates playing
multiplayer on a console. PC's are harder cos you can't get
loads together unless you are lucky and over the net it
sometimes loses the fun.

I bought "Perfect Dark",and was bowled over with
it.However,making a television show,will,IMO,be a bad
move.It just wouldn't work. Obviously,there are a few
exceptions,but i think everyone should steer well clear.
Also.i believe fans of "Half Life" have been approached to
voice their opinions on a "movie".Bah.(go to
www.planethalflife.com).It's in there somewhere!

Has anyone here seen Tomb Raider the movie? I've played the
game, but wondered how that measured up against the games?

I thought someone would've said that. That's one of the
reasons I never went to see it! I was so disapointed as I
mentioned when I went to see Street Fighter - it was a
complete waste of my time, such a disapointment!

RC-P90 The king of Guns...

B3n: I'm reasonable with throwing knives, I lost by
favourite one in some undergrowth when I missed a tree I was
aiming at. I got a replacement that was the same make (some
Spanish brand beginning with "A" something like Astoria),
but one size down.
Never hit anyone in the eye mind :)

There was an upgraded version of the RCP90 in Perfect Dark -
the RCP120 (I think.....can't remember exactly!)

O.K. I had forgotten about Goldeneye. Are there any others?

I think the problem with the translation is that interactive
narative in computer games is very different than that of
film, in that you have to begin a learning curve in a game.
The plot and charictors become likeable as you get into the
game.

A good example of this is Tomb Raider, Lara Croft is a sexy
Indiana Jones and I don't think the games would have been as
good if they had attempted to explore her charictor. The
film lacked any real plot or substance because her charictor
was shallow.

I also think that some of the games that are brought out
just because of successful films are crap too! A good
example that springs to mind is Mission Impossible on the
N64 - very poor in my opinion!

Mario Kart on the SNES is still the most playable racing
game ever. K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple stupid)

I did like the level that was a 'better' version of the
Temple from Goldeneye (can't remember whether it was named
the same - it's been a while since I played it!!)

Was it Perfect Dark, that allowed you to 'see through' walls
with a certain weapon? It was, wasn't it? Some sort of space
age weapon!

You guys should check out Timesplitters 2 coming out soon.
It's designed by the same team that designed 007. go to
ps2.ign.com if you want to check it out.

Can't say that Timesplitters 2 is a game that says 'buy
me'!! Although the graphics were far superiour to that of
Goldeneye and PErfect Dark, I wasn't that impressed with the
handling of the game. And I thought multiplayer mode was
horrific! Whether or not the second version will be better I
don't know! I'd probably rent it from the local video store
first rather than just buy it!

I liked the tranquilizer gun, not a very effective weapon,
yet it used to get me out of a few tricky situations in
multiplayer, much to the disgust and anger of my mates who
played against me - it used to piss them off!! Ha Ha Ha!!

Nah, it's called the psychosis gun. You get it in one of
the later missions. If you shoot an enemy they get all
twitchy and then start charging at the other enemies and
firing wildly at them. It's funny shit.

The tranquillizer gun, made your multiplayer oponents
screens go blurry!! And the more you shot them, the worse
there vision got! Unless of course you used the secondary
function, which was the lethal injection - nice!!
