Microsoft sure tried to improve Perfect Dark Zero, but it wasn't enough

Going through the covers, it shows they switched from the original cover to a retro-fied one instead which is more akin PD64 and way better looking.

But did they actually improve/remaster PDZ? Technically, yes.



While it definitely looks better, the framerate is worse by 3-4fps so that's the sacrifice they made here. I have an Xbox 360 and now wish I'd have bought an Xbox One X (at the very least) to play Xbox and Xbox 360 games enhanced.

Players who come across PDZ with the retro cover will be in for a disappointment because the game just doesn't look like that nor does she.

One last piece about PDZ, the Steelbook case looks really nice in person so photos on the web just don't do it any justice whatsoever, here's one anyway:

P.S. No, I'm not a PD fan, I'm simply getting into it to appreciate the franchise as a whole.

    @Xdqwerty there is health behaviour you can add to your character, then to use a health bar is lil more complicated, google n watch a few tutorial video on it, be too hard to explain here.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the character has the health behavior
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I know you have to create a health and health max variable. Then there is a calculation you use in code to subtract width size of the health bar. Google few vids.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, the "greenflatbar" is one of the preset health bars btw
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea you can use any bar/sprite. It will just change the width. Ok good luck and have fun. I'm off to go shoot some pool at the bar. Talk to you later.

    I was at the bar for 1 hour and lost $40 playing pool, and said well that's enough for my unlucky day, better quit. Some sharks up there today.
