Xbox 360

Snoopers also got some PDZ videos while at the Xbox 360 Showroom. This one isn't really new but show the beginning of the rooftop level and put the emphasis on the graphics mostly. Also worth noting, the obvious bugs in this beta of the game.

You may have noticed the direct downloads are a bit difficult these days. I've lost my main download server last week so for the moment this site is only running on smaller servers with about 170 simultaneous downloads possible. Not enough by far. I hope to get a new server this week, but if you work for a ISP and are willing to exchange bandwidth for some advertising (stats available, just ask), contact me !

Oh I really hope Perfect Dark Zero will turn out to be great... Loved the first game, but got dishearted when I heard all the negative talk during E3... I think it looks great though. Thanks fer the movies, by the way. Nice work!!

It actually hurts me to see this guy play this game so badly.
Has he never picked up a controler on a FPS?

I think this is looking good, I just wana get in and try it out!
Thx Blim!

The guy playing was not a PR, just a clueless "game journalist" who seemed totally lost.

Everyone that i have seen playing the game is horrible. I mean its a FPS, how hard is it to point and squeeze. they make the game look bad (but i'm sure this isn't the case).

usually all games re played horribly at first when trailers come out and such... but recently with these newer games it seems like they pick hobos from the streets to play... seriously...

The more I see of this game I'm somehow getting more interested in Quake 4 instead.

That video was really short, but wasn't terrible. And that guy playing wasn't so bad. He was aiming right on the head, the guy just moved his head everytime he shot. Hey BlimBlim, do you have any more footage?

Exactly Ferretwave. Except for the two times he missed, he wasn't really playing it to show off his "133tness" or anything. To me, it just looked like he was taking his time and looking at the surroundings and special effects and the like.

I hope the plane popping in is removed. Stuff like that screams unpolished...which sucks 'cause this game looks suh-weet!

Wow, Kameo is gonna be tough to beat. I jsut watched that vid you put up, and though the guys playing clearly have brain problems, it looks so fun and downright gorgeous. I can imagine myself playing that demo about 50 times. I'll probably buy the game at christmas. PDZ also looks awesome though. It looks just as good as Kameo in some spots, worse in others, and even better in others. The game looks great. I just wish Rare would make some videos of both games that showed good people playing. Its very frustrating.

i'm sorry u 2, but u must be blind to think that guy is not a noob, he's moving really slowly, aiming like my grandma, i mean this guy maybe taking his time, but i hate it when morrons start playing in a trailer or footage.

Now to the actual gameplay/footage, i really love how it looked and the gameplay "looked" tight. I'm that kind of person that really appreciate detail in a game and especially those animation for reloading, selecting a weapon and firing was really cool.

That's what i also love in for example in ghost recon 2, how the characters moves and how they reload and shit. I LOVE IT!!!!

This looks so great! I love both Joanna and Jack's design and the cutscene at the start really shows off both graphical and artistic excellence. Sun shining through the lighter bits of Joannas hair. :D

Most of all I get the feeling I wanna take control and run off at any time in these videos. I want to play it so bad! I don't know why, but this is the game I feel that most strongly about in the 360's launch lineup.

We're not saying he's not a noob...just that it looks like he's not playing the game to beat it.
