It has been a great weekend for Perfect Dark Zero fans as new info and now five gameplay movies have been posted across several forums, including ours. A new article from British magazine EDGE has exposed new info about the campaign and multiplayer modes of the game.
First, Rare confirmed that co-op will be Live-enabled. Second, it has been revealed that the 50-player limit for the multiplayer mode of PDZ has been reduced to 32 players. Although the team has tested all maps with 50 players, due to the reduced time frame and in order to ship the game bug free and stable, Rare has decided to lock the maximum amount of players to 32.
After launch, the team might consider the possibility of releasing a patch that increases the maximum amount of simultaneous player back to 50.
Also, a feature called DataDyne Kill TV might not make it through to the final game. Think of DataDyne Kill TV as the equivalent of GothamTV but for Perfect Dark Zero. The good news is that if DataDyne Kill TV is not available in the final game, Rare is already considering the release of a post-launch update to incorporate the feature.
But not everything is bad news for Perfect Dark Zero. One cool feature that has been confirmed is something we really missed in Halo 2: Bots. Both System Link and Xbox Live games will allow you to fill out the maximum allocation of 32 participants with bots and in addition to that, gamers will be able to join a game in progress and take the place of a bot, so there is no more waiting in the lobby for you to play a game.
