New screenshots of Perfect Dark's upcoming Xbox Live Arcade port by 4J Studios compare its spiffy new enhanced graphics to the original murky Nintendo 64 release.

In with the new, out with the old.

Slated to arrive this winter, the port of Rare's 2000 shooter will pack online multiplayer in addition to split-screen, and is claimed to run at a liquid 60fps in full 1080p resolution.

I got so much mileage out of the more detailed mission objectives on the higher difficulty settings and winning gold stars in the extras at HQ. The game was well worth the $80 for the cartridge and memory upgrade.

Will the 'President Scanner' actually have an in-game model? I seem to remember it was pretty much just invisible - "Picked up a president scanner" - really?

I am calling it now, they are going to censor the airforce 1 level, you will NOT be able to go rogue and kill the president, whom was a Morgan Freeman lookalike.

This is great news since PD on the N64 stuttered at best even with the gimmick memory upgrade! I remember buying the memory upgrade for this game and having it make no difference. I actually still have my N64 with PD! The game is excellent and now gets the console it deserves. Now all they have to do is do an equal update to Goldeneye!!!

I don't understand, this screenshot is definitely not from the N64 build, HUD did not look like that. Graphics might be, the hud is not.
