This is verified true. Outside of the hood this is not known as a classic. Asked a friend who was raised in the uptown area about the song, to which he replied “Oh of course I remember it, but I wouldn’t consider it to be a classic.” I then went to the hood and asked some hood people what they thought about the song, “Yes” they replied, “that’s definitely a hood classic.” Case closed.
Imagine bringing the top games the past 5 years back to when Golden Eye first came out. I would instantly die by getting my mind blown out by the next gen graphics. Imagine FFVII fans seeing FFVII remake in 2000 or RE 2 fans seeing RE 2 remake.
when I was a child I used to leave Goldeneye paused whilst I cleaned my room. Now I'll listen to this while I clean my house. Some things never change.
yep, the AAA game industry has wrecked gaming in a horrible way. I play mostly retro, indie, and "faithful" remakes these days. I almost never buy or touch AAA.
hmmmm. so you don't know that Golden eye was set to be a Rail shooter. Until like a month before it was set to be published, a dev decided in his own time for his own amusement to do a little controller reconfig and allow him self to free walk and shoot thru what was other was a Time Crisis like game. And he found it exhilarating and so did every other member of the dev team when they saw it. and the choice to change became instant. This is why there are so many places where it LAAAAGS if you don't kill enough gaurds. game wasn't optimized to have all that on screen. and they really said fuck it its fun!
That noise used to scare me so bad when I was little. Then again I lived out in the woods of Georgia and I vividly remember Blair Witch coming out around that time and hearing that and being scared shitless lol
I mostly played Perfect Dark and loved the sound track on it. I vaguely remember playing goldeneye but when I heard this, I remembered how badass Goldeneye’s sound track was
Lol Natalia was so damn annoying. Every time I hear her name I remember her walking into a wall saying "we need to get to the main control room." 🤣🤣🤣 If you know you know
This game really was something special.. still is in a way. The music for example, way ahead of it's time. The sounds they used, the style of how the music builds up, the gongs in the background. Simply amazing.
It's not a gong though. It was a cymbal or hi-hat played at incredibly slow speed. There's a video on TH-cam about it. I always thought it was a gong too until I saw how they did it.
I used to work in an electronic store and we had a Nintendo 64 demo machine with GoldenEye and it was played by people all the time and I think we had that thing for years because it was so popular. This version of the Bond theme brings back a lot of memories.
This played while the boys and me went to eat the pizza that my friends mom brought home for the slumber party. Then we watched South Park while falling asleep. And played paintball with our brass eagle tiger sharks the next day. 23 freaking years ago.
@@TickleMyResearch lol those brass eagles were all we had back in the day then I remember when one of us got a spyder, then a tippmann, then an automag, then it spiraled from there.
Operator: “Please hold.” *Goldeneye 64 Pause theme starts* Me: o.O Operator: “Sorry for the hold. How can I help y-“ Me: Put me back on hold goddamnit!
Fun fact: it took a really long time for the game producers to develop that pause menu, and they insisted to their budget and time advisors that it needed to be in the final game.
This game was the best. If you snuck up on a guy and shot him in the ass in the right spot he would jump up and make a funny sound while holding his butt. It was great.

@@thecoolest6022 You are insane! They just added a ported version to Xbox gamepass and the game holds up perfectly fine all the controls are updated and it runs smooth and everything looks amazing. Tripping!
It’s not that companies no longer care about gamers, it’s about gamers no longer caring about the quality of the games they choose to spend money on. In the goldeneye days there was no “day 1 patch” to fix bugs and issues. If you’re game released and wasn’t ready to go, it tanked, and lost the company millions. Nowadays gamers will tolerate the worst of conditions on day 1 releases and still defend their purchase instead of holding developers accountable.
Man video games are so boring with their 40+ hours of content and new graphics and physics, blockhead enemies and three prong controllers with one analog stick are way better, our lives are so difficult now because all the mean video game developers hate UBER gamers like us
My first introduction to PvP lol. Always some discussion about who get's the limp controller, "don't look at my part of the screen", don't use mines it's lame etc, but it was all good fun. Will most likely never forget this game. Part of my childhood.
the reason why guards stop shooting you when you pull the watch is because they actually also hear the song being played and they just all collectively vibe.
This just reminds me of the guard awkwardly standing in the stall while you’re in the vent on the first level 😂 buddy doesn’t budge even if you knock his hat off
So glad I was scrolling through TH-cam to discover this! Not only it's awesome to listen and reminisce, but it reminds me of what I must do: watch the old bond movies!!
I love that this soundfont became the inspiration for all of the music from Perfect Dark. I genuinely could expect to hear this in the Carrington Institute and full-send would believe that Joanna Dark is an unmentioned 00 agent.
Now this brings back memories. The video game that started my love for gaming. Playing at the rec center or at home with my little brother. Goldeneye 64 is a certified hood classic.

Had every business.
This whole game went hard. Must have 64 title.
Bro it was Rare and it was the 90s. There were two reasons to get their games: They were awesome to play and they had wicked tracks.
Kirkhope is a fuckin legend
Yes it did, it's literally the composer's job for it to be good
I've played this in my car pulling up to work. That bass hits
If your boss starts yelling, look at your watch and go on pause mode ⌚☕
