Among the sounds of machine guns and reloading pistols echoing at X10, you'll find one of the original men responsible for taking first person shooters on consoles to the next level.
Quietly sitting and admiring the latest HD build of Perfect Dark on Xbox LIVE Arcade, Ken Lobb -- the creative director for Microsoft Game Studios -- reveals how Rare made some critical errors when launching a "day one" game, and how it's avoiding the same mistakes with Perfect Dark on Xbox 360.
Ken goes down a grocery list of things that they left alone, changed, and perfected for the HD-evolution of this amazing first-person shooter classic. Toss in Robin Beanland, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark Zero development stories, and you're in for quite the video treat!

Brought back memories....
Haha, I thought the same thing! Really looking forward to revisiting PD though; that was a great game.
So I'm looking forward to playing a supposed calssic.
Holy shit, I never knew that. All this time I thought the the Klobb was a real gun... xD
And this is fucking awesome. I seriously can't wait for PDHD. Gimme that over all of the other major releases this year thus far.
I would guess a combination Activision(Treyarch did the last Bond game), since they currently own the license; Nintendo, because they published it the N64 game; and maybe even MGM, as they created the original source film. Licensing hell.
Good to know I wasn't the only person who remembered those. I'll probably give PDHD a download. I've spent more money on worse games in the past.
It's a licensing issue, basically Nintendo doesn't want the game to be on Xbox.
I miss Free Radical.
Can't wait.
Yes you are...
I am glad that at least they are not igorant of this. Then again, the fact that PDZ sucked was so obvious you could notice it with your head shoved up your arse.
Also, Super Mario Brother's Super Show Lou Albano spotted at 1:37
Also you're a pretty dope interviewer dawg. Strong questions, engaging style- lots of fun. Normally I fucking hate videogame journalists.
Beyond the shit story, the game was entertaining enough. I might go back and play it again just because I watched this.
