Man on release these animations blew my mind! 20 years later they are still fun to watch! I wish I could play this again as if i did for the very first time....
This game is burned into my mind. Everyone is always hyping up Goldeneye, which is still good, but this game should be on some “best of” lists. It’s such a classic
Just don't ever reload a real-life revolver like that though, it looks good in games and the movies but you should never "slap" a revolver cylinder in place, it needs a nice gentle hand-close to make sure it's seated correctly and to prevent cylinder pin wear.
The animations are certainly good, like the way the alien pistol and rifles have that gooey liquid quality to them. But the sound design really sells it for some of them. 3:45 was always my favorite. The cocking sound is so much lower/deeper (or however you'd describe it), it really sells the heavy weapon feel of the grenade launcher. But other things like clicks as a pistol is cocked, the sound of the magazine sliding against the metal of the gun's handle when being replaced, etc. elevate the reloads from just an interesting novelty that Goldeneye didn't have, to things that gave each weapon more personality while using them.
I love the detail with the Falcon 2 where she racks the slide differently when the scope is in the way, and with the Phoenix when the alien material tries to stick to her fingers like bread dough after feeding in a magazine. Such great little touches.
Oh wow, I didn't notice until just now that the SuperDragon has two different reload animations depending on whether you're reloading the regular ammunition (the magazine closer to you) or grenade rounds (the one that's farther away).
Reminds me of one weapon from Half-Life: Opposing Force. It's a creature that you squeeze to spit out chunks of... food(??) that you feed it. The idle animation is your character giving it well deserved pets and rubs :3
For anyone who doesn’t know, the blue alien weapons are actually biological, meaning the weapon itself is actually a living “being”. Can’t remember where I read or heard it, but the weapon itself is alive.
Ah yes, The Farsight XR-20 was one of the guns I love and hate. Love because killing people through walls with it was satisfying, Hate because my brother and uncles camped in different parts of the map and killed me with because I didn't know where they went
If it's a remake of the original, yes. If it's a completely original game, no. We saw perfect dark zero (which is for the Xbox 360) and that is a perfect example of how after Microsoft bought Rareware that nothing was quite so good anymore.
My favorites gun in this game is the laptop gun. That is futuristic as hell. 😂 Its a laptop that turns into a whole gun! I never seen anything like that in no other video game.
The cyclone reload animation is possibly my favorite in any game.
Mine too, but I honestly prefer the "Sprites" of the N64 version, they look very ugly here, especially the cyclone loader
@@EdgarIX n64 cyclone looks like a water gun… im not saying i dont prefer it
@@-darktrack-8095 Well, a lot that seems like that, which implies that it is a toy weapon with a super advanced technology ...
I'm gonna have to go with the Laptop Gun...so mechanical and cyber-punky!
Callisto NTG ftw

This is one of the best games ever made
we can safely add that to the list then
It's my childhood
On God no cap srry lord 😁
my god the nostalgia levels are rising
Perfect Dark has the best reload animations
And sounds too!

0:54 First time I saw that reload animation was the first time I thought:
"Now that is SEXY"
...And it still is.
I think about this animation randomly. No game has gotten a revolver reload animation which such finesse like this.
from the creator of Goldeneye N64
these developers got zero experience in making first-person shooters and they could make one of the best games ever

I love the sound of some of the magazines being slammed back in, but Joanna should definitely take better care of her weapons lol
I literally decided about 20 mins ago that I needed to see these again after 20 years 😂
That 357 reload sound is my favorite. The things I remembered best from the game were the sound effects and the soundtrack
I love the detail with the Falcon 2 where she racks the slide differently when the scope is in the way, and with the Phoenix when the alien material tries to stick to her fingers like bread dough after feeding in a magazine. Such great little touches.
That Phoenix animation is super cool. Wasn't expecting that for 2000.
Makes the stock reload from Goldeneye look like ancient history.
Oh wow, I didn't notice until just now that the SuperDragon has two different reload animations depending on whether you're reloading the regular ammunition (the magazine closer to you) or grenade rounds (the one that's farther away).
Still the best animations in any FPS
5 years later, do you still believe this?
@@RolandCollides For some weapons, yes. Like the Martian ones for instance.
@@RolandCollides they're creative ngl
Haha nobody ever used the primary fire of the phoenix. The explosive secondary was just so much better.
one of the earliest examples of reload animation
God bless you bro, this brought back nostalgic memories of playing PDark with my best friend.
My fast reloads in my shooting competitions were completely inspired by Joanna's Falcon2 reloads, they're honestly as textbook as it gets.
0:39.
So, to reload it...you feed it...then it meows...
OKAY.
Reminds me of one weapon from Half-Life: Opposing Force. It's a creature that you squeeze to spit out chunks of... food(??) that you feed it. The idle animation is your character giving it well deserved pets and rubs :3
this game was waaaay ahead of its time. Very tun and cool videogame. Great memories.
The Magnum reload still one of the best revolver reloads in ANY GAME
It's satisfying but it's just wrong
The flick at the end reminds me a lot of Half-Life's .357.
no speed-loader in hand to hold the bullets. No way
Ahead it's time, so much character
Reaper is one of those guns that sounded great on paper but was actually terrible
the firemode is called "reapage"
I think that says enough about how bad this gun is lmao
For anyone who doesn’t know, the blue alien weapons are actually biological, meaning the weapon itself is actually a living “being”. Can’t remember where I read or heard it, but the weapon itself is alive.
Like some of the weapons from Half-Life and its expansions :O
One of the best games ever!!
Ah yes, The Farsight XR-20 was one of the guns I love and hate.
Love because killing people through walls with it was satisfying,
Hate because my brother and uncles camped in different parts of the map and killed me with because I didn't know where they went
The "N-Grenade"...
A whole different meaning today.
No it had the same meaning then... "The N-word" is a pretty old term.
@@Dark_Jaguar You must be fun at partys.
@@Derethevil I mean, you're the one that said it. "Woke culture" is a lot older than you think, youngun.
very well AAA game for this old time, wow... thx rareware ! maybe a new perfect dark for 2018 or later ?
If it's a remake of the original, yes. If it's a completely original game, no. We saw perfect dark zero (which is for the Xbox 360) and that is a perfect example of how after Microsoft bought Rareware that nothing was quite so good anymore.
I've come from the future, a new Perfect Dark has been announced.
I Come from a Further Future.....
2020 might've been the WRONG Time to Announce the New Perfect Dark.....
@@brokenshah5106 I got the gut feeling this game is never going to be made.
1:08 this is the only reload I have burned in my brain :D
the best game ever created
I'm pretty sure that the more you reloaded one type of weapon the faster the reload got.
The laptop gun reload 😩 the devastater reload 😩
Why no mauler reload?!?!?
falto la arma oculta: el rasho laser amigo!!!
el brazalete de rayo laser!! hasta yo me acuerdo y hace mas de 10 años que no lo juego hermano!!
My favorites gun in this game is the laptop gun. That is futuristic as hell. 😂
Its a laptop that turns into a whole gun! I never seen anything like that in no other video game.
1:32 anybody care for some blue shrimp? Lol
the pinball mode was always a bad and fun idea lol
幼少期を思い出させてくれる
Always thought the Dragon and Super Dragon Sounded very good.
This game is too advanced!! Better than new shit😂😂😂😂💯
@ 0:29 you didn't reload the Mauler! lol
Las Armas Me Encantan
87 baby here .....hands down can't fuck with me Double Maulers on yo azz..🙃🤩 Og Classic 8f u know u know
No Slayer?
The "All guns in solo" cheat doesn't give the Slayer, unfortunately. It would have been awesome to explore the levels
Only in 2 levelz thats it. In 2 levels with all guns it has the slayer
You didn't use the scope of the Sniper Rifle...
what version of the game is this?
XBLA
And N64
the magsec look different, or is just me?
ExactablePage is this the xbox live version?
This is the Xbox Live Arcade version, which is basically the same thing as the N64 version but with new textures.
Ace xxx
Hey, Is This The Xbox Version?
The n-bomb didn't trigger a flip book so, yes I'd say either that or it's running emulated.
Yup. The xbla version.
