Xbox 360

Microsoft has officially announced a demo and a DLC pack for Perfect Dark Zero, coming to the Marketplace soon. More info & video inside.

The demo will let you play the solo map Outpost, alone, together with a friend split-screen or co-op over Xbox Live. You'll also be able to test a new multiplayer map over Xbox Live or offline, Plaza.
The Downloadable content will consist of eight new bot personalities and four new maps, where the bots will be free and the map probably not so free. It sounds like the maps will be released a while after the demo & the bots, but we aren't sure. A trailer was also released, presenting the four new maps.

Bots are in deathmatch modes but not DarkOps (team) which this adds

Heh, pretty sad isn't it? I'll give the demo a shot, maybe it includes one of the new maps.

I think the Maps will be out around the same time as the bots...both content packs are on the debug Live network now anyway.

Cool beans, these maps look good. Multiplayer was a good laugh, this should give me some incentive to play it again.

I am not overly impressed to be honest, but I do however welcome these new maps.

In reply to

Woah

I don't mean to sound like a cheapskate but the maps should be free, the game only came with five to begin with which is pretty lame, not like i care anyway though since i don't have the game anymore, just saying.

It cost alot of money for these devs to work on DL content after the games are finished so I don't mind paying for some of it.

Don't you pay for DLC with gamer points?

Yes... and what do you use to pay for gamer points...?

I thought you play games to get the gamer points. I'm sorry if I sound like a newb, just haven't got my 360 yet.

Edit-- Lol, well i guess you're indirectly paying for the gamer points, so using them on PD0 is paying for the DLC.

Was the bot name Kazooie in the retail game? If not, perhaps its a hint at what to come...

Havent played PDZ in a while, should give me a reason to play it again.

bot-kazooie was previously in the title. Along with bots named after a handful of other RARE characters.

PDZ wasn't great, Single player was bad game design and I know that Multiplayer was good. In a game like this though you expect both components to be great unlike lets say Counter Strike for the Xbox where you knew right off the bat that its a multiplayer game and dont look for a great singleplayer experience.
