As you can see, there's a video here. I haven't watched it yet (54% ATM), but it's apparently amazing. It's yet another leak from the MTV Party (Some advice MS, don't let people with cameras in next time), so I'm not sure of the actual video's quality, or if it even has footage of PDZ in it. I'm on a slow BB connection, so somebody with 'the good stuff' could try and download it and tell us all about it.

Enjoy.

Haven't finished downloading yet, but isn't it an mp3?

Er... it's an mp3...

Edit: And a half hour one at that, which I can't be bothered to listen through right now.

Deleted user 8 May 2005 21:57:50

Heh, amazing footage.

Christ, I'm not listening to that crap.

Wasn't PD:Z meant to be a lauch title for the original Xbox?

Meant to come out on N64, then GC, then Xbox, now Xbox 360. It's like Duke Nukem Forever without the industry ridicule.

Ooh, worse than I thought!

It'll probably be poo anyway, without Freeradical.

And my anticipation for the 360 goes down another notch...

I really could see this being a mediocre title from a team that's been going downhill. Now there's a killer app.

so whats this mp3 then?

last i heard from the rare camp PDZ is a mix between counter-strike and the deathmatch mode from the original. they also ditched the anime style artwork for a more realistic approach. which sounded pretty good to me.

Deleted user 8 May 2005 22:21:04

Aw. I could imagine the manga styling working really well.

The MP3 lasts half an hour and it starts with bad rap music, and I got bored.

It's, as you say Piro, sort of like CS.

Rare have been in-fighting and generally getting slated by ex employees for a while now. It wouldn't suprise me if they folded before the game was completed.

You really think so? Granted, they've had very little income from games since they went over to the dark side, as far as I can see, but do you really think MS would let them go pop? The name's still got a fair bit of cachet (for the moment).

I think it's an interview with a person that played it. They sound like a bit of an idiot though ("It's a prettier TimeSplitters. It doesn't look as good as Halo 2"), so I wouldn't trust 'em.

I have yet to listen to this mp3 (83% downloaded) but if the chaps saying it looks worse than Halo2 you can all rest assured he's talking a complete load of shite.

while it can be described as close to CS:Condition Zero, its a whole new genre in itself. team based objective gameplay with a strong story, great looking levels (blade runner style city scapes, taxi cabs zipping around, rain pouring down the screen) and being able to do all that with a team of your friends (faces and all).

I can't say if it plays any good, but from what i've seen and heard it has everything going for it.

that audio interview is terrible, its clearly a couple of 12 year olds on MSN voice chat trying to make out they've been to the xbox360 event. they wouldn't have even of been allowed in the door.

wait for MTV special, or failing that E3. I doubt PDZ is the only rare game you'll see at E3.

Pirotic: not trying to make you disclose any classified information, buw how come you know about this? Work related? I've noticed that you are quite often 'in the know' when it comes to these kind of things.

i'm a sad code monkey who happens to know other sad code monkeys who happen to be coding next generation games.

either that or im the third long lost stamper brother who lives in the attic watching the development teams eat chocolate pudding and scratch their arses all day

so long as i don't say anything which turns out to be bullshit it doesn't really matter

PD0 is definitely sounding good so far. This link's down though now, so I can't listen to this.

Thank fuck for that.

Rare CANNOT do anime style artwork ot save their lives. Remember Jet Force Gemini? Those character designs looked awfulo at every stage of developement. I remember seeing the anime-ised Joanna a while ago and remember thinking "they can't draw for shit, I hope it doesn't stay that way".
