Another set of Pefect Dark screenshots have emerged from original developer Rare, once again pitting the Nintendo 64 original against the downloadable Xbox 360 version.

Xbox 360 vs. Nintendo 64

Ported to the Xbox 360 by Banjo Kazooie XBLA veterans 4J Studios and packing enhanced visuals, a smoother framerate and online multiplayer, the Xbox Live Arcade update of the nearly decade-old shooter is due as a download this winter.

PORT THIS TO PC!!! Would be awesome, the Perfect Dark Source mod was cool but I would like to play the Single Player with cleaner textures and this re-release pretty much does that.

I hope they fix some of the bugs. The one that bugged me the most was that, when respawning in multiplayer, the game didn't clear any "blur" effects. So, if you got beat to death by a couple fist sims, you will be out of commission for 5 minutes while you wait for your screen to reset itself. And heaven forbid they find you again while you huddle in a corner waiting until you can see.

The x360 shot looks roughly equivalent to Half-Life's graphics (ie good for 1998). That it came out BEFORE Perfect Dark tells you how underpowered the N64 was graphically by that time.

Even if the 360 version has higher res textures & more polys, it doesn't really look much better.

No game these days should have textures without a unified color style / tone. That's one of the few things modern games get right.

n64 was poorly designed to have too little video mem for textures.. hence the low res textures

Apparently they deemed that chick's haircut needy of a revamp too. Admittedly, the flat top is way 90s, but isn't that going a bit far with the artistic license for the purposes of an HD remake?

I like the darker lighting and warmer colors of the N64 screenshot more. It makes for a more interesting scene than the XBox 360 screenshot where half of the screen is covered in a uniform marble texture and everything looks so washed out.

But that's just when zoomed out. At full screen, the N64's age is definately shown. Even if the new one looks like a 10 year old PC game, the N64 one looks even older.
