Comments on: Perfect Dark Zero – The Possibility of HD Cel Shaded Beauty http://danielprimed.com/2008/05/perfect-dark-zero-%e2%80%93-the-possibility-of-hd-cel-shaded-beauty/ Fri, 19 Mar 2010 02:31:10 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Sauce http://danielprimed.com/2008/05/perfect-dark-zero-%e2%80%93-the-possibility-of-hd-cel-shaded-beauty/comment-page-1/#comment-10716 Sauce Sat, 22 Nov 2008 16:22:34 +0000 http://danielprimed.com/?p=629#comment-10716 The reason this version never saw the light of day is because fans complained that this cel shaded Joanna looked too anime-like and a cel shaded version of the game would have been a farce in relation to its serious plot and tone. I guess it would not have been such a good game after all if the developers actually switched boats midstream due to negative feedback. :/ Cel shading was just fluke, a flashy trend, and I'm glad it never became popular among the gaming industry. It totally ruined one LoZ game, God knows what it would have done to Perfect Dark.

I can't find the magazines now or I'd scan them.

I really love these, but I like realistic for FPS far more. Although TF2 is wonderful. I was working on a Joanna Dark layout for the next version of GDG, which is very funny considering this topic.

I agree though the face is extremely off putting. True, I think that even in the worst case scenario this would have caught people’s attention. I agree though the face is extremely off putting.

I think that since Perfect Dark Zero would have been better off going the cell shaded route. It is a first generation Xbox 360 game and if you look at it now compared to current generation 360 games it doesn't hold up as well. Cell shading would have also made it more distinct compared to the massive ammount of gritty, realistic shooters on the Xbox 360.

They used to be one of my favourite developers in the early days of Rare and of course when they were "Ultimate". Perfect Dark Zero was OK, but a let down compared to the original, best played on co-op with a mate. It’s a shame Rare are only a glimmer of there former selves.
