For all of you FPS fans out there, it's time we give thanks for the one that bought us a step closer to realistic action gameplay. The inspiration for many childhood gaming memories, Goldeneye 007 is certainly one of the greats.
Check out the last episode on Mega Man!
• What's So Great About ...
#gaming #nintendo #goldeneye007
Biggest thing for me are it's immersive elements: Bond's movements have weight, inertia and momentum. The guns shoot where they point, regardless of where your center view is. The fast you run the more affected Bond's aim is (most noticeable w/the zoomed sniper). The missions aren't filled with goodies or objectives everywhere- you have rooms or buildings that simply exist as rooms or buildings w/nothing to necessarily serve the player. Dialogue can change depending on what you do or how much damage you took.
It's a proper James Bond simulator, something I hope IOI captures w/their upcoming game. EA and Activision released some great Bond games but w/more a cinematic focus. GE is almost a lite-immersive sim in ways.
Haven’t played this game in 20 years and picked it up recently. It really holds up. Great music. Awesome gunplay. Difficulty is right. Makes you feel like a secret agent. It’s the yardstick.
Have you tired the remake? Or were you talking about the original?
It doesn’t hold up at all
@@ZombieLincoln666I think it depends on your history with the game.
If you’re playing it for the first time, you are absolutely going to struggle to get to grips with the controls and the visuals.
If like me though you played it to death on the N64 and have dipped in and out ever since, then it will hold up for you.
I actually played The World is Not Enough on the N64 for the first time last week and was able to enjoy it as the control scheme is basically the same as Goldeneye. Without such a long history of playing Goldeneye, I think I’d have given up pretty quickly.
This game was truly amazing at the time!!!
Criminally underrated channel . Great content man
Criminally underrated channel! I can't believe so few views with such production quality!
Thank you and hope you will continue until the Algorithm gods bestow their blessings!
I’ve just found this channel today, 2 years after your comment and still it’s not at the level I’d expect for such quality content.
Surely the algorithm is going to favour them soon!
This is one of the best videos about Goldeneye on TH-cam. Also thanks for pointing out that it came out before Half Life.
DOOM 64 was good, Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was my favourite.
Like Doom but much more open with dinosaurs, stargate portals and the ability to look jump and swim.
Then Goldeneye 007 came out and I thought game graphics couldn't get any more realistic.
Lmao, right after I post a comment on the Star Fox 64 video about this game; it's the next video I see. I love these videos, but it always seems you leave out so many great aspects of these games that really make them stand out. Goldeneye is a one-of-a-kind shooter. I still haven't really seen any come close to it. One of the key aspects that's always brought up about this game is the audio. I'm very surprised you left that part out. Just about every level in this game had a bond theme to it that was just banging. And to just make sure it was cemented, they made the pause screen audio just as good if not even better. The rumble pack was severely overlooked by so many players as well. With the design of the controller and the way the rumble pack hung off the back of it, each gun felt unique. No other controller has ever felt like that since. I understand a lot of people had a hard time with the controller, but honestly, I think many of them were just holding it wrong. This game was very easy to situate into. Plus, you had the option to use two controllers to play, which I have yet to see any system other than the Wii do. One other thing of note was the cheats. Goldeneye had cheats that you could unlock by beating specific levels at specific difficulties at specific times. Those cheats stayed unlocked forever, unless you deleted your save file. I never understood why single player games didn't copy this format. Some did, but not many. Anyway, great video. Personally, I hate shooters, but golden eye was a favorite for at least two years straight. That's saying something. Also, it's saying something when a movie-based game actually works and becomes a hit. That in itself is extremely rare. Remember mission impossible on N64? Yeah... that was rough. Anyway, great vid. Keep banging them out. Don't forget the audio. That's a really big deal in many games, especially this one.
Agree, the soundtrack in Goldeneye is incredible.
Another great video, Goldeneye was so fun and I remember how dificult it was trying to complete it on the harder diffculty. Doesn't age well, I try to replay it this year.
Goldeneye is the best fps game ever besides timesplitters and perfect dark theres just nothing close to it
I miss this type of game. The hitman games are the closest thing to this, for me.
Goldeneye was so good
You can disable autoaim, and also chose the accuracy of enemies up to 100%. This video is so dvmb.
I try to give 007 goldeneye a chance but everytime I do I am reminded that the aiming controls are horrendous.. 007 agent under fire and 007 nightfire are wayyy better in every aspect.
5:23 Goldeneye was NOT the first game to have reloads. Duke Nukem 3D required the pistol to reload every 12 shots.
What I like about Goldeneye compared to modern FPS is gun is lower and more subtle on the screen - therefore it feels like you can see/feel the bullets whizzing down screen, and the bullet impacts feel like they have more impact. Modern FPS the bullets kind of disappear and the gun takes up too much of the screen.
8:20 actually, goldeneye 64 had the option of using both sticks. The trick was that you plug in a second controller and then you could set that option in the settings
If you use an emulator you can assign this option and remap modern controllers like Dualshock 4 etc to play with proper dual analog controls
UHM ACKSHUALLY
Which everyone for sure did....
You did a great job of highlighting just how special this game was at the time; I could see how a lot of younger players might not be too impressed by it. I remember one thing I was amazed by as a kid was how the enemies reacted differently based on where you shot them. At the time the only other game that had that feature was MDK, and it was much more basic.
This channel is such a gem. Well edited and presented content deserves more.
Been obsessed with goldeneye since it got released on Xbox today, such a fun game.
lol 5:55 looked just like in the movie when Trev is just gunning down dumb soldiers running right at him
What’s so great about Goldeneye? The soldier scratching its ass lol
I miss the side stepping, now games make you move the camera around 🙄
This is a real interesting analysis of GoldenEye 007. Late to the party in saying this but this video definitely deserves more views, great work!
This game was too good. Ahead of its time. And holding my controller like a gun was crazy. 😅
Great video ... We spent countless hours playing and it never got old. Crazy how so many all-time classics came out late 90s early 2000s.
Would've been so much better if we played on a modem TV. I think ours was luck 17 inches are something absurdly small.
goldeneye has a "soul" its that what make games amazing
I personally have never really gotten into any other shooter game but I played this song in 64 and I loved it so I understand why people love those games today. But I never had as much fun as when I played goldeneye against my three other friends at one time.
Just bought a Nintendo 64 again the other week and picked up Goldeneye in addition to WWF No Mercy, San Francisco Rush, Donkey Kong 64, and South Park. Reliving my childhood has been a blast
I remember my boyfriend buying this game after we got our N64. I wasn't really into FPS, but I'd watch him play. Ultimately, I ended up finishing the game because he got stuck at a particular part and thought I should give it a go. 😁
i played this game religiously as a kid with my friends... revisiting it on the switch is a rough experience even though i have an n64 controller for switch. remember how turok 64 always felt weird compared to goldeneye? well thats how goldeneye feels now, its turok, even messing with the controls to make it two stick, doesnt feel great. but this led the way.
There was a lot of doubt surrounding this game because all rare had to show for was Donkey Kong Country 2 and 3, and blast corps.
About the objective is on lower difficulty you can still perform the other objectives this helps for when you play on 00 agent you know enough on what to do.
Amazing channel! Keep up the good work
This channel is very very underrated!
"You could play it" is the answer. That's what there was, all there was, when it came to OG multi that was the be all end all, nightfire had an amazing sequel I will be honest in multi player at least
Music was sweet too
This game had so much character and personality. Especially for a fps .
My experience was the opposite of yours. As a kid, I never did much with the campaign. It was all about getting the opportunity to gun down my brothers from a bathroom stall.
I dont get the appeal of the game
@@jmgonzales7701 I think a lot of it has to do with nostalgia. When I was a kid, this was THE first person shooter in my group of friends. No longer did I have to pretend to shoot at my brother's with toys. It was the first time I could do it in a game.
@@Stylz7 so thats just it? nostalgia?
@@jmgonzales7701 for me, probably. It's not a game I desire to pick up again. It was just a very memorable game with many creative design choices.
This game had it all. Amazing levels and objectives that scaled with the difficulty. Decent enemy a.i.. Quality story. Splitscreen multiplayer up to 4 players. This was mindblowing at the time. It was a new generation with the PlayStation and the Nintendo 64, and 3d was at its infancy, but this game showed us the future. It nailed 3d graphics out the gate, with a game that was bottom line FUN. All this came together at the right moment in history, for this game to be remembered how it is. It is a well crafted game and that's against any time period bar none!
Have you considered doing the original Deus Ex? It would be perfect for this channel.
In real life, there is little 'silent' about a silencer.
Forgot to mention it actually uses double stick controllers if you have a second controller available.
Also i think the reason goldeneye feels better gameplay wise than perfect dark is the more open worlds, they have a sandbox feeling because the way they were designed, they made the level first, then add objectives, in perfect dark the levels have a more linear feeling.
Disagree, I think PD is far more open world. The objectives are more open ended, there's more tools available and levels can change depending on interactions in previous stages
Sorry, did he say smoothly
Ya called it
I was a bit surprised to see this game pop up in the fave games showcase collab I did with YTubers and others, purely because of its age. But the realism is something I've never really thought about, especially in regards to the aforementioned mission briefings and adapting from the Bond franchise [if that's realistic lol].
❤
You hit it on the head for the multiplayer. I would add that most people I knew had an n64 so there was always extra controllers around. For console gamers this was the best multiplayer until halo. I did have friends who would link up pc's and play Counterstrike and it looked really fun but for most of my friends we would fire up golden eye or later on Perfect Dark and just have a blast. I specifically remember using the one shot golden gun in golden eye. Good times.
I had a friend who had this game first - and until I got my own copy I didn’t even know it had a single player…I’m not even sure if they ever tried it 😂 would have been unthinkable at the time for a game to release with only multiplayer modes, but that’s pretty much the direction shooters ended up going…
Quake 3 was multiplayer only in 1999, two years after this game.
Turok rage wars also on n64 in 1999 all multi only
Wonder if Goldeneye’s multiplayer success was an influence on either of those games forgoing single player? 🤔
Timesplitters 1 had hardly any story either and that was a ps2 game it was mostly multiplayer goldeneye just was perfect
one of my favorite games of all-time. For me it's at the top with Half-life 2, Super Mario Bros 3, Galaga, Doom...
TH-cam slacking not recommending this channel further!! Great stuff
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for after playing this on gamepass.
I never played Goldeneye 007, but I tend to hear one of two things about it: it's either a classic game that's still fun to go back to this day, or it's a pioneer of the genre that's rough revisiting after everything that's come since. I will say this, I am aware of how FPS games are made to say it's impressive that Rare managed to my a highly popular FPS game with multiplayer on a system that wasn't exactly known for it, or even had a controller that was well-adapted to the accurate aim FPS games often need. Also one of the few licensed games that doesn't suck, so that's cool!
Goldeneye is THE game that made first person shooters viable on console. The control method, with strafing and looking up/down allocated to the c buttons, though not as accurate or fast as keyboard/mouse, worked wonders with some added auto aim assist. It is ingrained into my muscle memory and I can pick up and play it like it was yesterday. This was light years ahead of other consoles using clumsy d-pad input. And so was every other aspect of the game, with real missions, objectives, 3D enemy models that could be shot in individual limbs, great weapon variety and of course the awesome split screen multiplayer. This game stood very tall indeed and people were kind of blown away by it.
Turok: am I a relic to you? I was revolutionary too😒
this game even had cheat codes that changed brosnan for other bonds.
Perfection, no games could come close to this ever.
Yeah man, not sure how you havent grown yet. Your channel is great
Subbed man!
it was pure perfection thats why it was successful
What made it perfecf?
