    The funniest thing with the Cerebral Bore in Turok II was the mechanic that made it ignore brainless enemies. The weapon basically told you "Sorry, but this creature is too stupid for me to bother with." I don't think I've ever seen that in a game before or since.

      I played turok 2 as a foal.
      it was not till years later That I found out the cerebral bore was the most famous thing about the game more or less.
      did not really see why, yeah the idea of the weapon is brutal. but the execution is not particully more graphic and viceral that the other weapons in game. and giving it's a homing only weapon with no traditional aiming. it doesn't feel very involved when you use it. When I first saw the online opinion of it I was like "that crappy weapon is well known?"
      it's not even a good weapon. useless at any kind of range, half the enemies are immune to it. And has high chance of just missing the target with. making easier one of the least useful weapons in the game.

      @@diamondhamster4320 If the enemy was a brainless creature the Cerebral Bore wouldn't register brain activity. It actually made sense according to the weapon description. It had to lock on (pretty slowly) to a functioning brain, latch onto the skull and suck out the brain matter. Over the top gory and goofy as all hell.

    Perfect Dark's OST is criminally underrated. It's completely loaded but somehow always gets left out of the classic OST discussion. For my money the track Pelagic 2 is right up there with the best of HL2 and Halo for sci-fi action. The reload animations/scound design goes hard too. Probably 20+ years since I've played and I can still hear the Office printer/fax machine sound the Cyclone makes as it smoothly "scans" the clip.

      @@troybilko For many years I was playing 240p games on the CRT, however now it's also possible to get an accurate N64 look on modern TVs thanks to the retrotink 4K upscaler and PVM HDR filters. On the PC you can use HDR PVM filters in the Retroarch emulator. SDR PVM filters are also available, but they cant simulate scanlines and phosphor mask so perfectly. N64 games can look absolutely amazing thanks to this filters, and it's my preferred way to play N64 games, because simply increasing the resolution does not benefit N64 games that much, as N64 textures and polycounts look extremely dated at higher resolutions (because it's much easier to see imperfections at higher resolutions).

    Appreciate your comment about the intuitive nature of the N64 controller. Seems like a lot of people think it was derided at release but it was pretty groundbreaking at the time and is actually pretty comfortable and has sort of a proto dual analog scheme with many FPS allowing you to use either the D-pad or C buttons for character movement and the stick for aiming.

    Man, Perfect Dark was so overstuffed with features, it was unreal! I remember the multiplayer mode had tons of options for bots, difficulty, and weapons!
    and one mode that was unfortunately not even mentioned and I, for the life of me, don’t know why other games haven’t done it is Counter-Op mode where one player plays the game normally as Joanna trying to complete her objectives while another player plays as one of the random enemies trying to stop her. If they’re killed they take control of another enemy until Joanna either completes her mission or is killed. I don’t remember if you could sabotage mission-critical objectives and just lock them out that way but it is certainly a mode that deserves revisiting! I mean you could play a game where ALL the enemies are controlled by other players but there is the major difference i health and firepower (and possibly regenerating health?) against a numbers advantage

    To be fair to the N64 controller, it was out in 1996 and good to go for many types of games from day one, whereas Sony only thought of introducing analogue at all after the release of the N64, it was the same deal with rumble as well. Dual shock is certainly better than the N64 controller but it also used the N64 controller as a massive influence. PS1 launched with digital control only, dual shock is pretty much a direct influence from Nintendo in terms of including analogue and rumble. The same happened a decade later with Sony releasing Move controllers as a direct response to Wiimotes.

    When it comes to playing GoldenEye and Perfect Dark on an N64 controller, I personally recommend using control scheme 1.2 and using the D-pad for movement. That way your right hand is on the stick which is used for aiming, and it feels very modern. Also, GoldenEye and Perfect Dark both had anamorphic widescreen support from day one. What that means is the game will render in 16:9, but you have to manually stretch the image to the right shape otherwise you would still get a 4:3 image and it would just be skinnier. In GoldenEye it's at the bottom of the settings menu in the watch, and in perfect dark it's under the video menu in the options.

    So a lot of people were thinking that Doom was getting kinda old and outdated at that point.

    That trident controller actually worked really well. If I recall correctly you could pretty much remap the controls in most of the shooters I played. I think Turok had by default a sort of dual stick layout by way of using the c buttons for your movement and looking with the stick. I would set up something like goldeneye and perfect dark to control like Turok did and just absolutely run circles(literal) around my stick only friends.

    God, The World Is Not Enough is just a nostalgia bomb for me. I remember spending hours with my brothers just doing stupid shit in multiplayer, like trying to stage a boxing match on that grey porch roof on the Istanbul map, holding contests who could break the most windows on Merchant, or simply playing hide-and-seek on Frostbite (our solution to looking at the other's screen was either looking at the ground or straight at the sky/ceiling). The map Flashpoint (even though to this day I have no idea what that map is supposed to be) was both great and terrible for the latter, because everything looked the same, but you could very easily get lost there.
    We only owned like three games that allowed for multiplayer that WEREN't racing games, so we had to get a bit creative with what we had.
    Also, some maps back then just simply came off as oddly unnerving to me, because I wasn't really familiar with the James Bond movies, so I had no idea what they were supposed to represent or what they were referencing, if anything at all. Some are obvious, Merchant is the bank from the first mission, MI-6 is the MI-6 headquarters in the second mission, labyrinth is a literal hedge maze, and Istanbul is a city. But some weren't as obvious.
    Field of Fire for instance, which was just some ominous cave system with random flames along the walls, Hidden Volcano was obviously some sort of military base, but the purpose didn't really come to my young mind (in hindsight it was probably a nuclear weapons facility given the warhead that is moved through one section of it), and Silo Surprise was even worse, since it lacked any sort of distinguishing characteristics, and only had dirty, beige walls, metal catwalks, and a bunch of wooden boxes, and one room with a bunch of fans in the floor, making it feel less like an actual place and more like some nightmare location akin to the Backrooms. Never got to play any of the unlockable maps though.
    In any case, thank you for bringing these childhood memories back to me.

    Gman, Awesome video and trip down memory lane! The N64 was Vital for me and allowing me to experience my first shooters i'd ever played. Growing up, we didn't have a PC, so the games on N64 allowed me to have access to them, and my God did i fall in love with them!
    The fist FPS I ever had/played was Turok 1, and what an amazing game to have as my first shooter. This one then lead me down the path of Goldeneye, Doom 64, Turok 2, Duke Nukem 64, and eventually Perfect Dark. All of those shooters are among my GOATs FPS'!
    I played Duke 64 so much. My friend and I used to rent it from a small town video store every weekend. We had a blast playing through the campaign together, and then doing multiplayer with the Dukebots. Eventually, that small video store had Duke 64 for sale and i was able to get it for my Birthday that year. I still have it CIB.

      Real answer is not that simple, actually it was pretty smart to use cartridges one last time because most games in mid 90s used CD space for audio, voice acting, pre rendered backgrounds and FMV/CGI cutscenes, beyond that actual game size was much smaller so N64 was a better choice for FPS/action/3D platformers while PS1 was better for RPGs/adventure/FMV/prerendered background games. N64 was more powerful yet cheaper console than PS1 only games were pricier

It took me some time to adapt to modern shooter controls on consoles like in Halo or so, but your criticism about the controls in Rage Wars is based off what you were used to.
    In fact a lot of N64 games had inverted controls as default, like Super Mario 64 or Donkey Kong 64.
