But people and businesses now act like that is some magical untouchable thing of the past...."lightning in a bottle" happened all the time in movies, tv, games...it's nothing special, it's a natural outcome of giving genuine and passionate creatives the freedom to create what they want to create. EVERYTHING now is basically 100% controlled and dominated by corporate executives forcing "content creators" to churn out more and more "content" according to their specific demands which are based on internet data which tells them what will sell best...and internet data, being all based on analyzing old stuff, obviously never suggests anything creatively new and different. Industries have apparently entirely forgotten that EVERY franchise that they now sell like hot cakes was originally so massive and popular because it was new and different...and these things were so new and different and cool because they were created by rag tag teams of passionate, genuine artists and craftsmen being allowed at least a fair measure of creative freedom to do what they wanted.
One of the issues with The World Is Not Enough compared to GoldenEye is the gunplay - and enemy models that look like action figures. It's such a "tiny" detail that changes too much on how the game feels to play. Their animations are stiff and you can see all the model joints, and feels like you're shooting concrete walls. This is sadly something seen on all Bond games after GoldenEye due to the censorship applied by Columbia, as they requested to have the least graphic violence which is why we don't see blood in Bond since GoldenEye. I feel like the EA games are the ones that feel the most affected by this as they decided to not even have sparks or smoke by Nightfire which felt like you were shooting nothing at all, at least we got a satisfying headshot sound. GoldenEye Wii played on a Wii Zapper though feels amazing. Great video and really happy you could find use to my footage!
That's really well said Graslu. I didn't think of it that way, but now that you bring up those points, it makes perfect sense. I do agree, the interaction with the guards and the environment (as well as the guns themselves) were kind of lackluster. I think that may be part of what holds it back. Though it was still one of my favorites (except for that submarine level).
@kevin lawrence yea the bots were cool if you were by yourself or had only one other person. Also I really liked the rocket launcher that you could guide with thel laser.
Finally someone has mentioned the feeling of the zapper on Goldeneye Wii. It's so true! I loved Goldeneye on the Wii as much as I loved Goldeneye on the N64 just for the fact that I could aim for myself and it felt so fun!
90’s kid and Bond fan here. Goldeneye was truly special. The nostalgia is real. When I think back to my childhood, I always remember Goldeneye. The music, missions, environments, etc….. it all just clicked. It was magic. Lightning in a bottle.
This was the first game I played when I was a kid. This is where I got my love of video games, guns, and James Bond. I hope to see more videos like this soon.
Great presentation and video. Too often, content creators look like they just stepped out of bed. Appreciate the video, and I look forward to checking out some of the other games you mentioned.
5:15 I mean there were somewhat major departures in goldeneye mission (main 18 from Dam to Cradle) from the movie. 7:05 yeah a big part of why me and my brothers NEVER completed Bunker 2 or Archives SA or 00A was we got lost in the levels and couldn't find the important checkpoints. 24:29 its at this point I realized the video is 4 years old, and wow things have changed.
I'm really excited to be there when your channel blows up! This was great content, I'd love to see you cover the complete abandonment of the James Bond video games.
One thing that I feel made "GoldenEye 007" awesome was its playfulness; it never took itself too seriously, and it had funny quirks like scientists throwing grenades, random animations on computer screens, everything being explosive for no reason, and the ability to dual-wield _any_ weapon, no matter how big and heavy it was.
I beleive you hit the nail on the head in your closing words. The guys from rare coming into the game without any gamedevelopment experience was the original piece that allowed them to forever change the fps genre.
Hey GoldenGuns, try to imagine how i felt as a kid, when my mom bought The World Is Not Enough for Playstation (Since i didn't have an N64 at the time and had only played the game 'Goldeneye' at my friends house 4 player multiplayer). I was so happy when a Bond game was released for the Playstation, finally the game i've been waiting for or was it..............No multiplayer. What where they thinking?!?!?!
A multiplayer mode was originally planned, but the idea was ultimately abandoned because developers felt it would take away valuable production time and therefore reduce the quality of the main game.
@@Bond007er That's an unfair reason to blame Sony. Just about every game console at the time had only two controller ports, and the PS1 was released a full two years before the N64, so it's not like Sony was trying to compete with Nintendo in that department.
A few thoughts for why GoldenEye stands out more. 1. The film it was based on was a knock-out with a strong plot and cast, while TWINE wasn't as strong as a film 2. It was made by Rare who deliveried so many memorable n64 titles 3. The game had set a really high benchmark for games following it 4. The game was actually sharper visually in a lot of ways compared to TWINE. Character models weren't as blocky, textures weren't grainy, the weapons were distinctive and had more variety, shooting enemies limbs felt more precise and realistic 5. As you mentioned, levels didn't feel as linear and were really immersive. Levels like Dam, Facility, Silo, Frigate, Bunker, Streets, Control, Cradle are super memorable too while the TWINE levels blend into one (barring maybe Kings Ransom and Night Watch) 6. Grant Kirkhope's soundtrack was fantastic and really captured the Bond theme, whereas TWINEs was repetitive and not as relatable to bond 7. The single player missions were stronger. 20 compared to 14, included 2 bonus levels, let players explore, experiment and make mistakes whereas TWINE often ended the level for you if you failed 8. GoldenEye had freedom and customisation in multiplayer whereas you were restricted in TWINE (e.g. 'good' characters cannot fight each other) 9. Goldeneye had cheats like DK Mode which made experimenting further a blast
It's strange how many stake holders found the things people loved about Goldeneye and said "we're never allowing that again!". I still think Goldeneye has some of the best enemy animations, not for their fidelity but for how expressive they are in response to every input. In games today bullet sponges are still the norm who just ignore being shot multiple times until they suddenly crumple like a puppet thats had its strings cut. By making enemies react to every shot it made every action in the game impactful. The enemy even reacted to shots that missed.
That's the thing about gaming history, the 80's and 90's set the bar to unreachable heights. If you weren't born in those decades and experienced these gems with your friends playing on the same TV, then you missed out on the best era of gaming.
This is honestly incredible. I hadn't felt that excited after watching a video in a long, long time. I had no idea about Goldeneye 25, now I'm looking forward to it. Thank you a lot for the effort you put in making this video.
Wonderful video, I love that you included GoldenEye: Source and gave compliments to the dev team, they truly work so hard purely out of the passion they have for the game and the community. Also glad to see you talking a lot about GoldenEye 25 and talking with Yannick. I’ve been following the progress on GoldenEye 25 since the beginning and without a doubt, Ben and Yannick are the best people for the job! Also cool to see you used clips from Graslu00 :)
Thanks! I've always had huge respect for anyone who goes out and tries to be the change they want to see in the world. Too many people sit around and complain instead of taking the risk to do it themselves. That's why I have so much respect for the modders that created Goldeneye source and Goldfinger 64. Yannick and Ben have been awesome to me. They are such nice guys and I really can't emphasize that enough. I'm pumped to see what they come up with for GE25. Not to mention, it was just so much fun to sit down and talk with Yannick about Goldeneye for an hour or more! I'll have to release a longer cut of the interview later. There's some good stuff in there that just didn't fit in the doc. And Graslu, he was so nice to let me use his clips! It made it tremendously easier to get this film done. Thanks again Graslu!
Sad that GoldenEye 25 has been canned due to a C&D by the Bond property owners. Such a shame. But the developers are working on a spiritual successor to avoid legal issues by the Bond property owners.
Goldeneye was kinda like an FPS version of hitman. Non-linear levels with guards that that almost had their own life and wasnt waiting behind crates to shoot Bond when he appears. The impact when shooting someone is amazing, too. It's just a game that gets so many things not just right, but perfect (to me).
That’s an interesting comparison and I don’t disagree! This is why it’s so exciting that IOI (the Hitman developers) are working with the Bond license for their next game. I’m very excited to see what they end up making!
@@FlackNCoke Indeed! A Hitman-style game is perfect for Bond, even moreso than a first person shooter. Infiltration, stealth, assassinations and gathering information will give it a real espionage feel. They should add some gunfights, escape sequences and car chases, though.
the similarities are in the sandbox approach to level design that allows you to explore, details that may or may not be discovered. that seems to be the key to success
Thank you! I appreciate the complement. I don’t make videos on any kind of regular schedule. I just do the best I can and try to make a video when I have something to say. That said I do have something in the works so stay tuned.
That's because the TimeSplitters series is made by the same people, who made Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Free Radical Design is made up by ex-Rare employees, who left Rare, in order to pursue their own creative ideas.
i remember getting the worlds not enough for Christmas one year. That was probably one of my favorite Christmas gifts. Dad and i stayed up all night playing that game that day
What an amazing channel! I just love your choice of content. I also turned into a huge gun enthusiast due to all the great "gun games" I played as a kid (Goldeneye of course is no exception). Goldeneye not only helped inspire my gun hobby, but my career goals as well. I spent a lot of time working in the former Soviet Union and studied Russian. I even bought myself a Russian Makarov to celebrate completion of a successful teaching contract in Ukraine, haha. Anyway, love this video! Aside from Goldeneye, I never really played any of the other Bond games (other than a bit of World Is Not Enough and Nightfire with friends). This video answered questions about 007 games that I never even thought about. Aside from that, there aren't really that many other RUclips channels dedicated to guns in video games. Your channel is unique in that regard. Keep up the good work!
Hey thank you so much! It’s so great to know that someone else enjoys something I worked hard on. Makes it all worth it. I really want to know more about your job now. Did you say you’re a teacher in the Ukraine? We’re you born in Europe or did you move there? Very interested to know more.
@@goldenguns2659 Thanks! I appreciate your interest. I'm American, but yeah I worked in Ukraine for one year as an English teacher. I got my start teaching in the former Soviet Union as a Peace Corps volunteer, I worked in Moldova a few years earlier. At this point in time, post-Soviet or Russian settings have become really popular in gaming, so like I said, FPS games like Goldeneye and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. really inspired me to learn more about this region and learn Russian. :) As for your gun collection, hopefully you can get your hands on more firearms used in Goldeneye. The film had no where near as many guns as the game did, but they still used some interesting weapons that didn't appear in the game (such as Alec Trevelyan's Browning BDM pistol, Valentin Zukovsky's CZ-52 pistol, and of course the AKS-74U that James Bond uses throughout the movie). Maybe some of these might be worth mentioning? (I actually have seen semi-automatic conversations of AKS-74U's available, but they fall under the category of a short-barreled rifle, they require the NFA paperwork and transfer fee).
Thanks. I don’t know if I mentioned this but I’m a teacher myself. We have something in common there. I would like to do more guns from Goldeneye and I may eventually. One sticking point (for now at least) has been the very restrictive laws in my state (Maryland). That automatically rules out even semi auto versions of the Spyder (klobb), MP5 (DK5 Deutsch) and of course the AK47 and AKS-74u. It’s very frustrating dealing with these particular regulations. If I can find someone who has one that’s grandfathered in or if I travel to PA and shoot someone’s rifle there then it could be done. Still trying to work that out.
Now years after this video, the Goldeneye update that Rare was working on HAS leaked and can be played on an XBOX 360 emulator. The remaster itself is so old now that it could use a remaster of it's own. I still play the original from time to time with an emulator and a mouse and keyboard plugin that allows me to use PC first person shooter controls. For me being a PC gamer it is the ultimate way to play. Another thing you didn't talk about in this video is the massive popularity of Goldeneye speed running. There is a rather large community of speed runners around this game that still come out with new world record runs quite regularly. Timeless classic.
I can't believe you only have less than 500 subs, this was insanely good! Usually you see high quality videos like this made by people with an audience of 100,000+. Awesome editing and presentation. Goldeneye actually came out a few years before I was even born, so by the time I was playing it as a kid it was already dated but even to this day I still come back to it because, frankly, there is just something magical about it. Actually the same could be said for basically all of Rare's 90's titles. Play anything they've made in the last decade or two under the Microsoft banner and it's almost like it's not even the same company at all. I suspect the fact that Goldeneye being the one of the first Bond games made by a bunch of developers with little experience meant that it didn't suffer from corporate meddling and high sales expectations; it was just a bunch of guys having fun while making a game that we would have fun playing with. Sure the game does have flaws but i'd take a flawled passion project with heart over a technically perfect game with no soul. The by gamers for gamers philosophy just doesn't really exist in triple A game studios anymore and I think it's fitting that the two best candidates for true sequel status are made by modders and indie devs.
Hey thanks for commenting and sharing your own experience! Thanks also for the compliment on the video itself. It was a lot of work but it was a labor of love. If you want to help, I would love it if you would share a link on any social media you can. Because I take a lot of time to produce and upload these, the RUclips algorithm isn’t particularly friendly to me and I rely a lot on word of mouth. Thanks again!
One thing I will add that you and Yannick touched upon was the music. Music adds so much to the environment and gameplay "feel". For example, Surface II felt like something was wrong and was ominous, not only because of the red sky and guys chasing you but because of the music as well. In contrast, Silo has very hectic music that was fast-paced which fit perfectly in the way that level played. Overall, GoldenEye was such a special game and is in my opinion arguably the best FPS of all time.
@@wet-read This is just my opinion, we all have our own. For me Goldeneye is not just merely better...it's *_WAY_* better than any of those games. Personally I'm just not into sci-fi themes/aliens, etc. I just couldn't get into that kind of stuff. That's more of a personal preference thing more than anything. Something about Perfect Dark just didn't click with me. It just didn't feel the same. The style and format was the same, but it just didn't do much for me. For me it's like comparing a cheesy 80's "B" action flick to a more benchmark movie. Goldeneye looked great graphically back then (even now it's not as horrible as one would think) and everything just felt "right" about it. Now the AI enemies are definitely dated by today's standards. But other than stuff like that, the overall experience and feel of the game matters more to me. Games now are much more advanced, better graphics etc. but I've never really played anything since then that captured my attention like that game. It's pretty much the same thing like why lots of people like old music/albums from many decades back compared to music of today.
Thank you for your channel, your production value, and dedication to what was an important chapter in my childhood... and adult life. Sincerely... a fellow PPK/S owner. :)
You forgot QUAKE (1996). QUAKE was the first fully 3D FPS game ever made, and literally set all the standards for every other 3D FPS game that came out afterwards. There would be no Goldeneye, Halo, Half-Life, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, or any other 3D FPS games, without QUAKE. Wolfenstein, DOOM, and QUAKE set the standards for the FPS genre in their own respects, and everything that came out after those games, simply took the ideas and standards that Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and QUAKE set for the FPS genre. QUAKE 2 was the gold standard of FPS games in 1997, not Goldeneye. Unreal (1998) was literally created as a QUAKE killer, not a Goldeneye killer. A lot of people overrate Goldeneye, especially when games like QUAKE 2, TUROK, and HEXEN 2 came out the same year as Goldeneye in 1997, which blew Goldeneye out of the water, both technologically and gameplay-wise. Halo: CE is a 2001 repackaging of ideas and features from other FPS games that came out in the 1990s, and is also overrated, and given praise and credit for things that it did not do first. Goldeneye and Halo are good games, but they are not these extremely innovative marvels, that so many people falsely give them credit for. This problem is due to Goldeneye and Halo being popular. Therefore, they receive unwarranted credit and praise for innovations they did not invent, and were actually done by other FPS games that came out before them, or even during the same year.
I feel the same way too, all the later games was never able to top Goldeneye. I mean all theese games were kinda my guity pleasure, but nothing will ever compared with Goldeneye. (that's why I was really sad when I know there's a cancelled remastered, Instead they went with the Cod ripoff remake) loved your vid man, subbed!!!
I honestly think it’s the little things most Bond devs (and FPS developers in general) miss about what made Goldeneye work. 1. Non-linear level design. No current developer in their right mind would create dead-ends and useless rooms in their levels, but it’s these dead ends that make Goldeneye’s levels both memorable and alive feeling. 2. Objective-based gameplay and difficulty. So many modern FPSes adhere mostly to levels where the objective is either to get from point A to point B or to kill all the enemies. These aren’t bad in and of themselves, but they get old after a while when those are the only two things you’re doing every level. Goldeneye had variety. Maybe you need to blow up a bunch of computers, or install a hacking device, or (my favorite) scare Boris into giving you access to the bad guy’s security system. You never know what you might need to do from level to level, and then you up the difficulty and realize you have even MORE things to do. 3. It’s a video game first and foremost. If it’s fun to do, the devs probably included it. Cheats, silly enemy animations, things exploding that shouldn’t explode, being able to carry as many guns as you want, hell even the multiplayer mode in its entirety was added mostly because the devs thought it was fun. Games are often too self serious most of the time and that can kill the fun in an otherwise very well made game.
I do.. But i always start my session with some fucking GOLDENEYE. been playing the shit out of that leaked XBLA version.. Cant shoot thru windows on doors and cameras cant be 1 shot.. But its just so damn satisfying to use you can even use your GPU interface to add AnstFiltering and antialiasing it can,look quite good!!!
This guy is so charmingly self-important and serious about a 30 year old game. He deserves far more than YT gave him in terms of traffic on this video.
I like the high production values of this video and that you keep your equipment unhidden. But one gripe, I would've trimmed the ending milliseconds off of any clips where you're speaking to camera, since your eyes visibly drift back to the teleprompter. I like what you said about Goldeneye's environments; the video game levels felt like real places that one needs to wander around in, rather than an environment specifically designed for the mission itself. I liked the winding hallways and "useless" rooms of facility because it felt more real.
My guy, you put in such great effort and commentary with your videos. You really should keep going and doing this! I really appreciate the approachability and knowledge you bring to this!
Thank you! This whole video was just a personal story that I really wanted to tell. I spent a lot of time to do it right and I’m delighted to see others connecting with it.
No other FPS game outside of GE and PD has that same feeling of actually hitting your target. The sound effects on hit are not necessarily realistic but extremely satisfying. The way the guards stagger, allowing you to fairly handle a whole bunch of them at the same time as long as your aim is good enough..chef's kiss. The music is amazing, some of the most memorable soundtracks in all of gaming. The weapon and multiplayer variety of PD is still unmatched by any other game. Over 24 years ahead of its time as of today meaning we might never see anything like it ever again.
Fantastic video! Had me completely engaged. I myself didn't play GoldenEye. Only caught a few glimpses of it here and there. But it's very easy for me to understand why the game was, and still is, so important to many. I'd feel just the same if I had played it. PS2 was however my first console, and Nightfire the first game I popped into it. Both were a reward for not eating candy for half a year. Originally it was a whole year, but I know the reward was expedited, though I think the obligations ran the full year. Consoles and games weren't easy to get your hands on as a kid. And now that you give a rundown of all the games, I'm even more thankful it was Nightfire I ended up with. This title has brought me and friends so much joy over the years. Not even funny how it keeps on giving, with something new to get from it every time I revisit. Latest turn of events is playing it on Dolphin Emulator in 4K with remapped controls and save states. Still working on improving the setup, but it's already at a place where the best improvement would be my old friend who'd still want to play, coming to see me. We always manage to find new ways to play the game, with the right combinations of map, game mode, bot configurations and random weapon set. On the new setup, we'll have even more to mix it up with. 6 bots as opposed to the 4 on PS2 is a welcome change. My newest crazy idea is to have each controller control two players, so you'll have to keep switching perspectives to not be a sitting duck. Have to mention it's very fun coming back to Nightfire with all the skills I've acquired from other games over the years. Always seem to discover a new technique or quirk to exploit, and it's fun to know I would have blown 9-year-old me out of the water at the game. I did also get Everything or Nothing as a kid. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I'm sad there isn't much depth to how it's played. That is to say, there are far too few stealth sequences. Heck, there isn't even one full stealth mission! Every level where you start out stealthily, there will without failure be a point where the enemies just magically know you're there. Sad, because stealth is where the game truly shines. The regular gunfighting that was fun in Nightfire, is now a clunky mess that is best avoided by standing behind a corner until everyone has run mindlessly towards you or peaked from cover in the exact same manner one too many times. Everything or Nothing is extremely restricted in anything you do; not sandbox-like at all, which is what it needs to capture the Bond essence. I ask, is it even a shooter if you can't point and shoot your gun wherever you want? Has anyone ever managed to throw a coin grenade where they wanted? I did enjoy the game, but its unrealized potential is just disheartening. Fun fact: The game is more enjoyable to play if you use save states as a game mechanic, because you can pull off the things you otherwise would have if the gameplay was more refined. As for its multiplayer, you're not the only one who don't remember it. But I do. The deathmatch mode was just some brawler nonsense on three maps, which, by the way, you had to unlock every single one of by playing co-op. Now, the co-op is actually very decent if you can get into it with someone. This is where you'll find that the game does in fact have full stealth missions, which are ridiculously fun! I haven't found anyone on RUclips who tried to 100% the co-op, just people going through the motions with it. I did find this video through a comment you left on someone's gameplay, asking if you could use it, so there's that at least. But, yeah, the EoN co-op is a hidden gem. Sadly it's hard to have the circumstances to enjoy it. If they had gotten rid of the tacked-on co-op door opening, and let you play them solo if you wanted, these missions would have a place in people's hearts just as much as the main game, if not more. As for Rogue Agent, it's a comedic disgrace. Did gobble it up as a kid at a friend's house, but trying to play it now, the 30 fps combined with atrociously irresponsive controls get the better of me. The game does however provide some genuine entertainment for it's cheesiness and child-like story. It could have been a fun action game if it was more fluent, though. If anyone read through this, thanks for listening. Have lots of thoughts about these games, but as we know there aren't many places to discuss them thoroughly. I feel this video is one that says meaningful, genuine and original things. So I'll add to it to the best of my ability. As someone mentioned, it'd be interesting to hear your full take on why new Bond games aren't a thing anymore, and also what direction you'd like to see them take a new Bond game in. Once again, thanks for the vid! Easy sub.
The World Is Not Enough always impresses the he hell out of me for being on the N64. They game and perfect dark may be the most technically impressive games I’ve personally played on that console.
Thanks! I'm glad people are enjoying it. It took a long time to film and edit, but it's all worth it if people enjoy it. I wanted to do something different from just your normal GE retrospective and hopefully people like hearing my story.
This clip is one of those hidden gems I got the luck to find. You're too methodical yet entertaining enough to keep my attention for 30+ minutes. The downside is that I discovered this channel and it seems already abandoned 😭
My answer for why Goldeneye is my favourite purely based on how it feels is "Half Life 2". Let me explain, the way a shooter feels is very important, the physics of HL2 isn't just a toy for the player to mess with it's integral to placing the player in the world of the game, Goldeneye of course isn't as detailed as HL2 but for the time it's very impressive, as mentioned objects can be destroyed and explode, there are many interactive doors that can be used to block bullets, empty casings flip out of the guns realistically, the actions on pistols animate, guards hats can be shot off, the physics of thrown objects feels really satisfying, it all adds up to create a real and physical feeling that we didn't see again until Perfect Dark and many games after didn't match. The World is Not Enough is great i love that game and it has enough of its own polish to brag about but it compares similarly to other shooters in terms of feel, there's not a lot of physical connection to the world for the most part you just shoot people and they die and the levels are just a backdrop not part of the gameplay, that's not a negative it's how most games are, but i hope the comparison speaks to why Goldeneye is so special, it has more "parts" than you'd think at first glance, and the sum of its parts elevates it above its contemporaries.
Hey, first time seeing your channel (probably because of the relatively recent addition of GoldenEye 007 to the NSO). Really love your style and presentation, as well as your attention to detail; your genuine love for the game shines brightly for all to see. Funny enough, despite being a HUGE fan of Bond growing up, I'd only ever played GoldenEye (partly because for years I didn't have a PS2, and partly because the follow-ups didn't seem to have the same charm to them, from what little I remember of various classmates who did play them), but like everyone else who has played it I've inwardly always wanted more time to play the mythical man in his various adventures. A lot of your conclusions as to why GE stands out hold up, I believe - it was built by a team that didn't know what they couldn't do, but knew enough about Bond to want to bring that experience to the console.
@@BlackVeilSpectra Goldeneye Source is amazing, but I don't really know anyone to play with. I know I could always join a random lobby but where's the fun in that? Although maybe someone on here wants to exchange info and play with me sometime?
GoldenGuns Do you have Discord? There’s several GoldenEye: Source Discord servers you can join. Then you can connect with players and get matches started. Also every Saturday night at 7:30 PM central is developer night, so you can play with a few of the developers of the game and other community members. :)
Damnit, just saw this and had no idea fan remake was in the works. Makes sense considering no one talks about it, I assumed immediately there had been a cease and desist. Siiiiigghhhh BTW this is an absolutely amazing video, thanks for putting it together!!
Thanks Jack! I appreciate that. It’s something I spent a laughable amount of time on so it’s very nice to hear people are enjoying it. Makes it all worth it! My wife is probably happy to actually see me now that it’s done though.
Something to add that maybe wouldn't work nowadays is the lack of checkpoints like were in old videos games. Beating high difficulty levels in our favorite 007 game was something to admire, I remember this level named Caves (I believe) that was actually very hard and lacking of health power was the real deal. I was young and maybe I wasn't making the best approach but honestly I loved this game more than a lot. Your documentary is like a treasure box for me, it opened a vast area of nostalgic memories and fun memories too. When we grow up we know that we are meant to mature, but these things are like stories from our past. Also I watched your other videos and I was thinking that maybe you can cover guns from other games (I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy your videos, I actually find them enjoyable to watch) I'm just saying that there's a lot of potential for you out there, like for example, talking about guns in games like this one or maybe resident evil (this is a boom now with RE 3 remake) and stuff. Keep doing your amazing work man, I truly wish you the best for this channel, I know that maybe I'm asking too much, but you should definitely create more content.
Hey thank you so much! I spend a LOT of time on these videos (especially this one) and I do it because I want people to enjoy them so It’s really great to hear you got something out of watching it! I have actually thought about reviewing other guns that I have. I don’t get out to the range very much these days so that’s been hard, but I will certainly post more content. It takes a long time and this is a back burner kind of project for me so I don’t post often, but please be patient and I’m sure I’ll have something else out again.
My favorite N64 title by far. I just recently found all of the game levels remade in Far Cry 5's custom maps. They were very well done and scratched the itch I've had to play it again. Definitely the best Bond game there ever was or will be.
The World Is Not Enough was actually great. The multi-player was excellent. But Goldeye was for many of us the first 3D FPS experience we ever had and it's hard to top the feeling of a kid experiencing something brand new for the first time ever.
It’s a shame that Ken Lobb thought Rare developing another Bond game would have been too costly, and that MGM actually allowed that garbage by EA (surprise) to be released. GoldenEye is special to me because I was twelve at the time it released, and most everyone had it, so all of my friends and I would get together and play it solid after school and on weekends. Once we got into junior high, we went our separate ways and I wasn’t as interested in playing Bond games. Nothing could come close to the same experience. I do remember playing “The World is Not Enough” with some of that same group of friends, but it was a rental, and we only played it for maybe an hour at best. One thing I remember specifically is that I told one friend to shoot an ammo crate, which subsequently exploded and killed him, to which he replied “What!? You _knew_ that was going to happen!” However, I didn’t know. We used to shoot the ammo crates into a single room on Facility in GoldenEye and have one guy guard it while three attacked. It took a long time to set-up those matches. Some life happened and I was living with some extended family. That’s when Nightfire released, and I remember playing that just as much as I had played GoldenEye. The multiplayer was great. After that, however, I never touched another Bond game. I still have yet to try the newly-released version of GoldenEye because of the requirements to acquire it (I refuse to pay for Game Pass on Xbox, and haven’t been able to buy Nintendo’s premium online subscription). One day I will try it out. In closing, I guess what makes GoldenEye stand out from the rest is that it was the first Bond game where many memories were created, it was true-enough (faithful) to the movie (which I didn’t see until a year after the game released), the graphics were great for the time, as well as all the added details, unlocks, and even the glitches made it such a memorable and sought-after experience.
Thank you! I think most people would be surprised how much time it takes. I don’t post a lot but when I do I try to make it count. Thank you for the compliment. If you are so inclined, I’m always grateful when people share the video on social media...
I think you pretty much hit most all of the points about why Goldeneye 64 is the best. One other point though for me is that, other than a few exceptions, the levels all flow into one another. The end of the Dam leads to the start of the Facility, the Facility leads right to the start of the Runway, especially if you use the double doors, and so on for many of the other levels. This really enhanced the feel and interest into each level for me.
I totally agree with your assessment of TWINE on 64; I’d just like to add that the game lacks the Bond theme and that hurts the atmosphere greatly for me. Goldeneye has many brilliant variations of the Bond theme, take the watch menu for example. Surprisingly, the PS1 edition of TWINE, while an inferior game, has the better soundtrack of the two.
You raise a VERY good point, my friend (One I didn’t get around to making). The music on the ps1 is superior often and that actually doesn’t surprise me given its optical storage capabilities. It is interesting that they managed to license the bond theme for one, but not the other though.
Best Bond game for me is everything or nothing then it's from Russia with love. I even have 007 racing in my list. One of the few games I would buy if I was to get back another OG PlayStation. Loved golden eye though. I would literally buy an n64 just for golden eye and perfect dark.
Pure nostalgie ! Niet te vergeten dat we toen van 2D naar echte 3D zijn gegaan, en dat dit voor velen de eerste echte ervaring was met dergelijke games. Ook voor mij was het ongelooflijk destijds! Veel mooie herinneringen aan dit spel !
Nightfire is my all time favourite and the one that I have the most nostalgia for as a 6th gen gaming kid. Still absolutely love Goldeneye as well though!
so happy we finally have goldeneye 007 playable on xbox one. hopefully it gets a sequel and dlc someday. i remember people saying there would someday be more levels like the multi-player pyramid/temple type one and that people loved that level so much it basically went viral though this was before people used the word viral that way so another terminology would have been used but same essential impression, that it was going to get a story added to it some how. someday. no idea if they really planned on adding things to the game but my friends said they did and produced articles and forum posts and such seeming to corroborate it at the time. no idea how they would have done it since n64 never got online functionality or the 8 controller ports it was eventually supposed to have and even the ability to connect the back of the gameshark pro cartridge to a pc for online functionality for the game and gameshark never did work at all, think someone told me that port was a dud/dummy port and didnt work or something. everyone calls goldeneye a shooter and one of hte first mainstream/successful first person shooters that helped form a new genre but to me its a visual story a video game a movie in a different format an interactive game a stealth game a spy game and mission oriented immersive story driven and as open world explorable adventure game as you could get that type of game ot be on the n64 hardware. its also a casual game and not too hard once you get the hang of it, it has 3 default difficulties and a custom difficulty and you can make it easier with certain movement skills and experience and strategies and ways of going through the level, etcetera. i love all the secret doors in archives and library and temple, never seen those in a game b4 or since. then you could make it even easier with cheat codes and gameshark cheats/codes. yet even some of the secret agent and 00 agent levels are still playable for casual gamers and i love how the game incentivizes and rewards slow casual stealthy gameplay at times and seemed designed for it. normally i'd play the missions through first and slowly unlock all the missions and then go back later and unlock the difficulties and/or do the timed runs to get the codes/cheats unlocked, and then play it again for fun very slow and methodical without worrying if the mission failed or not, etcetera. each level could be played 5-10 times per person without it being an issue at all and still stay fun, and then you could play everything again on multiplayer and if you couldn't unlock everything and didnt have a friend or family member to help, then there was gameshark, or apparently there were button combinations you could imput on the controller though i didnt know that back then. the game is very open ended and something for everyone but yet feels immersive and not lacking for something to do, but yet on dam if you want you can skip everything and not kill a single enemy, only have to shoot once to break the padlock on the gate and run and jump off the dam to end the level, its hilarious to just stun the enemies by pretending they arent even there sometimes. only bad thing about the xbox one version so far really is the fog is missing and even on agent/easy difficulty the ai/soldiers are way too aware/alert and far-sighted compared to the original game, its much harder to sneak up on them now, sometimes they act like they are still 00 agent instead of agent in terms of their ai level. but yeah hopefully we get a sequel eventually and/or dlc and for some reason neither the world is not enough or perfect dark felt right as a sucessor game to goldeneye, art style was too different for both, animation differences too much between perfect dark and goldeneye, weapons handle too differently in perfect dark, the ai were way too difficult in perfect dark at times, etcetera. barely played the sequel to perfect dark that became a prequel perfect dark zero, just feels strange and they changed joanna from dark hair to a red head and changed her whole personality it seemed at times. i keep reading that the new AAAA studio microsoft started is apparently working on a new perfect dark game either a reboot or sequel, so i'm hoping its good, it would be really cool to have a new franchise with a female spy like bond but her own character. and more stealthy like bond. tomb raider is great but i like stealthy games and tomb raider is more action/adventury then mystery/spy/stealth like bond is. i think its the story and level design that help make goldeneye so good also. similar to why i enjoyed some of the halo 2 multiplayer levels but havent really gotten into any other halo game. destiny and destiny 2 are the closest games i've found comparable to goldeneye in how they feel and immersivity when playing them. though there was one game on playstation 3 i played a couple times at a friends house in college called resistance: fall of man if i recall the title correctly that in some ways reminded me of goldeneye in art style theming and aesthetics to an extent and how the story telling was interesting at times and drew you in. also growing up i always wanted a sequel to goldeneye where you played as natalya or that option added to the game, everyone wanted to play 007 in multiplayer i always wanted to play natalya and since usually you just see a hand sometimes i imagined i was playing as natalya in the campaign.
Really love this video! Although I really wish I didn't know the sad outcome of how that Goldeneye 25 project turned out. Makes that interview and love for the game pointless. 😢
The best thing in Agent under fire is the Bond moments. They could take that much further , it is a feature I'd add in the hypothetical perfect 007 FPS game.

Late 90's Rare was lightning in a bottle. Everything they touched turned to gold.
But people and businesses now act like that is some magical untouchable thing of the past...."lightning in a bottle" happened all the time in movies, tv, games...it's nothing special, it's a natural outcome of giving genuine and passionate creatives the freedom to create what they want to create. EVERYTHING now is basically 100% controlled and dominated by corporate executives forcing "content creators" to churn out more and more "content" according to their specific demands which are based on internet data which tells them what will sell best...and internet data, being all based on analyzing old stuff, obviously never suggests anything creatively new and different. Industries have apparently entirely forgotten that EVERY franchise that they now sell like hot cakes was originally so massive and popular because it was new and different...and these things were so new and different and cool because they were created by rag tag teams of passionate, genuine artists and craftsmen being allowed at least a fair measure of creative freedom to do what they wanted.
Especially Killer Instinct
And now everything they touch… is hilariously bad. Thanks Microsoft!
@@vpghahat6328KI Gold & Banjo-Kazooie & Diddy Kong Racing were some of my faves
I absolutely loved dk64
One of the issues with The World Is Not Enough compared to GoldenEye is the gunplay - and enemy models that look like action figures. It's such a "tiny" detail that changes too much on how the game feels to play. Their animations are stiff and you can see all the model joints, and feels like you're shooting concrete walls.
This is sadly something seen on all Bond games after GoldenEye due to the censorship applied by Columbia, as they requested to have the least graphic violence which is why we don't see blood in Bond since GoldenEye. I feel like the EA games are the ones that feel the most affected by this as they decided to not even have sparks or smoke by Nightfire which felt like you were shooting nothing at all, at least we got a satisfying headshot sound. GoldenEye Wii played on a Wii Zapper though feels amazing.
Great video and really happy you could find use to my footage!
That's really well said Graslu. I didn't think of it that way, but now that you bring up those points, it makes perfect sense. I do agree, the interaction with the guards and the environment (as well as the guns themselves) were kind of lackluster. I think that may be part of what holds it back. Though it was still one of my favorites (except for that submarine level).
Ayy it's Graslu!
@kevin lawrence yea the bots were cool if you were by yourself or had only one other person. Also I really liked the rocket launcher that you could guide with thel laser.
You here :)
Finally someone has mentioned the feeling of the zapper on Goldeneye Wii. It's so true! I loved Goldeneye on the Wii as much as I loved Goldeneye on the N64 just for the fact that I could aim for myself and it felt so fun!
Great video Brian! Fantastic work once more. Thanks for having me. It was my pleasure.
Thank you Yannick! I had a great time doing the interview and it was fun to reminisce with a fellow Goldeneye fan.
90’s kid and Bond fan here. Goldeneye was truly special. The nostalgia is real. When I think back to my childhood, I always remember Goldeneye. The music, missions, environments, etc….. it all just clicked. It was magic. Lightning in a bottle.
GoldenEye
Someone remade every Goldeneye level in the Farcry 5 engine. It looks INCREDIBLE.
How do I play it?
@@schartattack farcry 5 Arcade mode from the main menu. Then search for the levels by name (Type GE or goldeneye)
I have been playing it and it really does bring back the nostalgia and looks so good. They really should use it to make an official remake.
Didn’t Ubisoft have them removed or am I think of something else
While I’m about to re-download far cry five right now!!
This is a high quality review and I think you deserve more views to be honest
Thanks. I do this very much on the side. I have another channel that’s much larger and takes up more of my time. Thanks for the comment.
Production value is excellent, this is a beautifuly and well made video. Keep it up!
Thank you! I really tried to make the film I wanted to see. I hope others enjoy it!
Incredible video, dude. Loved it. Appreciate your love for the game and your hard work to make content for this niche community.
Thank you! I only make a video when I feel like I have something worth saying. I'm really glad people are enjoying it.
Cracking documentary. Should have 10x views! Cheers for this, subbed
Such a beautiful video dude! Thank you so much!
This was the first game I played when I was a kid. This is where I got my love of video games, guns, and James Bond. I hope to see more videos like this soon.
No offense but I doubt you were even born in 1996.
Great presentation and video. Too often, content creators look like they just stepped out of bed. Appreciate the video, and I look forward to checking out some of the other games you mentioned.
5:15 I mean there were somewhat major departures in goldeneye mission (main 18 from Dam to Cradle) from the movie.
7:05 yeah a big part of why me and my brothers NEVER completed Bunker 2 or Archives SA or 00A was we got lost in the levels and couldn't find the important checkpoints.
24:29 its at this point I realized the video is 4 years old, and wow things have changed.
I'm really excited to be there when your channel blows up! This was great content, I'd love to see you cover the complete abandonment of the James Bond video games.
Thank you! Maybe in the future I could do that. I appreciate suggestions for future videos. I’m always looking for good ideas.
One thing that I feel made "GoldenEye 007" awesome was its playfulness;
it never took itself too seriously, and it had funny quirks like scientists throwing grenades, random animations on computer screens, everything being explosive for no reason, and the ability to dual-wield _any_ weapon, no matter how big and heavy it was.
I beleive you hit the nail on the head in your closing words. The guys from rare coming into the game without any gamedevelopment experience was the original piece that allowed them to forever change the fps genre.
This is a really great video! I can't wait to see more :)
Hey GoldenGuns, try to imagine how i felt as a kid, when my mom bought The World Is Not Enough for Playstation (Since i didn't have an N64 at the time and had only played the game 'Goldeneye' at my friends house 4 player multiplayer). I was so happy when a Bond game was released for the Playstation, finally the game i've been waiting for or was it..............No multiplayer. What where they thinking?!?!?!
I had both versions of the game I felt ripped off when I got the ps1 version but I blame Sony for. Not making thier console 4 player ready
A multiplayer mode was originally planned, but the idea was ultimately abandoned because developers felt it would take away valuable production time and therefore reduce the quality of the main game.
@@Bond007er That's an unfair reason to blame Sony. Just about every game console at the time had only two controller ports, and the PS1 was released a full two years before the N64, so it's not like Sony was trying to compete with Nintendo in that department.
A few thoughts for why GoldenEye stands out more.
1. The film it was based on was a knock-out with a strong plot and cast, while TWINE wasn't as strong as a film
2. It was made by Rare who deliveried so many memorable n64 titles
3. The game had set a really high benchmark for games following it
4. The game was actually sharper visually in a lot of ways compared to TWINE. Character models weren't as blocky, textures weren't grainy, the weapons were distinctive and had more variety, shooting enemies limbs felt more precise and realistic
5. As you mentioned, levels didn't feel as linear and were really immersive. Levels like Dam, Facility, Silo, Frigate, Bunker, Streets, Control, Cradle are super memorable too while the TWINE levels blend into one (barring maybe Kings Ransom and Night Watch)
6. Grant Kirkhope's soundtrack was fantastic and really captured the Bond theme, whereas TWINEs was repetitive and not as relatable to bond
7. The single player missions were stronger. 20 compared to 14, included 2 bonus levels, let players explore, experiment and make mistakes whereas TWINE often ended the level for you if you failed
8. GoldenEye had freedom and customisation in multiplayer whereas you were restricted in TWINE (e.g. 'good' characters cannot fight each other)
9. Goldeneye had cheats like DK Mode which made experimenting further a blast
It's strange how many stake holders found the things people loved about Goldeneye and said "we're never allowing that again!".
I still think Goldeneye has some of the best enemy animations, not for their fidelity but for how expressive they are in response to every input. In games today bullet sponges are still the norm who just ignore being shot multiple times until they suddenly crumple like a puppet thats had its strings cut.
By making enemies react to every shot it made every action in the game impactful. The enemy even reacted to shots that missed.
That's the thing about gaming history, the 80's and 90's set the bar to unreachable heights. If you weren't born in those decades and experienced these gems with your friends playing on the same TV, then you missed out on the best era of gaming.
This is honestly incredible. I hadn't felt that excited after watching a video in a long, long time. I had no idea about Goldeneye 25, now I'm looking forward to it.
Thank you a lot for the effort you put in making this video.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it! That's the reason I do it.
It’s been cancelled by the ip owner of goldeneye
@@Garfieldlover38 true, but now the creators are making spies never die
Wonderful video, I love that you included GoldenEye: Source and gave compliments to the dev team, they truly work so hard purely out of the passion they have for the game and the community. Also glad to see you talking a lot about GoldenEye 25 and talking with Yannick. I’ve been following the progress on GoldenEye 25 since the beginning and without a doubt, Ben and Yannick are the best people for the job! Also cool to see you used clips from Graslu00 :)
Thanks! I've always had huge respect for anyone who goes out and tries to be the change they want to see in the world. Too many people sit around and complain instead of taking the risk to do it themselves. That's why I have so much respect for the modders that created Goldeneye source and Goldfinger 64. Yannick and Ben have been awesome to me. They are such nice guys and I really can't emphasize that enough. I'm pumped to see what they come up with for GE25. Not to mention, it was just so much fun to sit down and talk with Yannick about Goldeneye for an hour or more! I'll have to release a longer cut of the interview later. There's some good stuff in there that just didn't fit in the doc. And Graslu, he was so nice to let me use his clips! It made it tremendously easier to get this film done. Thanks again Graslu!
Sad that GoldenEye 25 has been canned due to a C&D by the Bond property owners. Such a shame. But the developers are working on a spiritual successor to avoid legal issues by the Bond property owners.
They should talk to whoever owns Perfect Dark, just to get a laugh from fans.
they ditched that game too
Goldeneye was kinda like an FPS version of hitman. Non-linear levels with guards that that almost had their own life and wasnt waiting behind crates to shoot Bond when he appears. The impact when shooting someone is amazing, too. It's just a game that gets so many things not just right, but perfect (to me).
That’s an interesting comparison and I don’t disagree! This is why it’s so exciting that IOI (the Hitman developers) are working with the Bond license for their next game. I’m very excited to see what they end up making!
@@FlackNCoke Indeed! A Hitman-style game is perfect for Bond, even moreso than a first person shooter. Infiltration, stealth, assassinations and gathering information will give it a real espionage feel. They should add some gunfights, escape sequences and car chases, though.
@@FlackNCoke this is just pure cope
the similarities are in the sandbox approach to level design that allows you to explore, details that may or may not be discovered. that seems to be the key to success
Hey here, from the future, Goldeneye N64 it's now on Switch and Xbox
Idk how you came up on my recommended but Im so glad you did! Im excited to see what other videos you put out!
Thank you! I appreciate the complement. I don’t make videos on any kind of regular schedule. I just do the best I can and try to make a video when I have something to say. That said I do have something in the works so stay tuned.
After Perfect Dark Time Spliters 2 is the closest game to Goldeneye that I've ever played... especially the Dam level.
The first level in timesplitters 2 is a very sweet love letter to the days of goldeneye. Even the music just hits all the right notes.
Time Splitters future perfect for me is the ultimate time splitters
The GE team made Time splitters
Yes. The music too was similar. I'm from the future. Time splitters series is available for purchase on PS5
That's because the TimeSplitters series is made by the same people, who made Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Free Radical Design is made up by ex-Rare employees, who left Rare, in order to pursue their own creative ideas.
Damn you put a lot of effort in to these videos and it shows. Bravo!
i remember getting the worlds not enough for Christmas one year. That was probably one of my favorite Christmas gifts. Dad and i stayed up all night playing that game that day
What an amazing channel! I just love your choice of content. I also turned into a huge gun enthusiast due to all the great "gun games" I played as a kid (Goldeneye of course is no exception). Goldeneye not only helped inspire my gun hobby, but my career goals as well. I spent a lot of time working in the former Soviet Union and studied Russian. I even bought myself a Russian Makarov to celebrate completion of a successful teaching contract in Ukraine, haha.
Anyway, love this video! Aside from Goldeneye, I never really played any of the other Bond games (other than a bit of World Is Not Enough and Nightfire with friends). This video answered questions about 007 games that I never even thought about. Aside from that, there aren't really that many other RUclips channels dedicated to guns in video games. Your channel is unique in that regard. Keep up the good work!
Hey thank you so much! It’s so great to know that someone else enjoys something I worked hard on. Makes it all worth it. I really want to know more about your job now. Did you say you’re a teacher in the Ukraine? We’re you born in Europe or did you move there? Very interested to know more.
@@goldenguns2659 Thanks! I appreciate your interest. I'm American, but yeah I worked in Ukraine for one year as an English teacher. I got my start teaching in the former Soviet Union as a Peace Corps volunteer, I worked in Moldova a few years earlier. At this point in time, post-Soviet or Russian settings have become really popular in gaming, so like I said, FPS games like Goldeneye and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. really inspired me to learn more about this region and learn Russian. :)
As for your gun collection, hopefully you can get your hands on more firearms used in Goldeneye. The film had no where near as many guns as the game did, but they still used some interesting weapons that didn't appear in the game (such as Alec Trevelyan's Browning BDM pistol, Valentin Zukovsky's CZ-52 pistol, and of course the AKS-74U that James Bond uses throughout the movie). Maybe some of these might be worth mentioning? (I actually have seen semi-automatic conversations of AKS-74U's available, but they fall under the category of a short-barreled rifle, they require the NFA paperwork and transfer fee).
Thanks. I don’t know if I mentioned this but I’m a teacher myself. We have something in common there. I would like to do more guns from Goldeneye and I may eventually. One sticking point (for now at least) has been the very restrictive laws in my state (Maryland). That automatically rules out even semi auto versions of the Spyder (klobb), MP5 (DK5 Deutsch) and of course the AK47 and AKS-74u. It’s very frustrating dealing with these particular regulations. If I can find someone who has one that’s grandfathered in or if I travel to PA and shoot someone’s rifle there then it could be done. Still trying to work that out.
Goldeneye and Perfect Dark have still the most varied and realistic death animations.... and this is just one of the many qualities theses games had.
Still my favorite FPS of all time. The music is what elevates it into legendary status.
Perfect Dark (especially the XBLA remaster) was the peak of GoldenEye-likes.
The music, goldeneye’s music is unmatched
Now years after this video, the Goldeneye update that Rare was working on HAS leaked and can be played on an XBOX 360 emulator. The remaster itself is so old now that it could use a remaster of it's own. I still play the original from time to time with an emulator and a mouse and keyboard plugin that allows me to use PC first person shooter controls. For me being a PC gamer it is the ultimate way to play. Another thing you didn't talk about in this video is the massive popularity of Goldeneye speed running. There is a rather large community of speed runners around this game that still come out with new world record runs quite regularly. Timeless classic.
Have you tried the Mario Characters mod? It's great fun.
I can't believe you only have less than 500 subs, this was insanely good! Usually you see high quality videos like this made by people with an audience of 100,000+. Awesome editing and presentation. Goldeneye actually came out a few years before I was even born, so by the time I was playing it as a kid it was already dated but even to this day I still come back to it because, frankly, there is just something magical about it. Actually the same could be said for basically all of Rare's 90's titles. Play anything they've made in the last decade or two under the Microsoft banner and it's almost like it's not even the same company at all. I suspect the fact that Goldeneye being the one of the first Bond games made by a bunch of developers with little experience meant that it didn't suffer from corporate meddling and high sales expectations; it was just a bunch of guys having fun while making a game that we would have fun playing with. Sure the game does have flaws but i'd take a flawled passion project with heart over a technically perfect game with no soul. The by gamers for gamers philosophy just doesn't really exist in triple A game studios anymore and I think it's fitting that the two best candidates for true sequel status are made by modders and indie devs.
Hey thanks for commenting and sharing your own experience! Thanks also for the compliment on the video itself. It was a lot of work but it was a labor of love. If you want to help, I would love it if you would share a link on any social media you can. Because I take a lot of time to produce and upload these, the RUclips algorithm isn’t particularly friendly to me and I rely a lot on word of mouth. Thanks again!
Hey! Just hit 500 subs! Thanks again for being here.
One thing I will add that you and Yannick touched upon was the music. Music adds so much to the environment and gameplay "feel". For example, Surface II felt like something was wrong and was ominous, not only because of the red sky and guys chasing you but because of the music as well. In contrast, Silo has very hectic music that was fast-paced which fit perfectly in the way that level played.
Overall, GoldenEye was such a special game and is in my opinion arguably the best FPS of all time.
GoldenEye 64 was and always will be the greatest Bond and or first person shooter that was EVER made.
Better than Perfect Dark? Halo? Whichever DOOM games?
@@wet-read This is just my opinion, we all have our own. For me Goldeneye is not just merely better...it's *_WAY_* better than any of those games. Personally I'm just not into sci-fi themes/aliens, etc. I just couldn't get into that kind of stuff. That's more of a personal preference thing more than anything. Something about Perfect Dark just didn't click with me. It just didn't feel the same. The style and format was the same, but it just didn't do much for me. For me it's like comparing a cheesy 80's "B" action flick to a more benchmark movie.
Goldeneye looked great graphically back then (even now it's not as horrible as one would think) and everything just felt "right" about it. Now the AI enemies are definitely dated by today's standards. But other than stuff like that, the overall experience and feel of the game matters more to me. Games now are much more advanced, better graphics etc. but I've never really played anything since then that captured my attention like that game. It's pretty much the same thing like why lots of people like old music/albums from many decades back compared to music of today.
Thank you for your channel, your production value, and dedication to what was an important chapter in my childhood... and adult life. Sincerely... a fellow PPK/S owner. :)
Thanks for your comment. What you said, that’s the whole reason I make these videos.
16:29 Thanks for the shout out!
Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Goldeneye, Halo CE are the Mount Rushmore of FPS.
You forgot QUAKE (1996).
QUAKE was the first fully 3D FPS game ever made, and literally set all the standards for every other 3D FPS game that came out afterwards.
There would be no Goldeneye, Halo, Half-Life, Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty, or any other 3D FPS games, without QUAKE.
Wolfenstein, DOOM, and QUAKE set the standards for the FPS genre in their own respects, and everything that came out after those games, simply took the ideas and standards that Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and QUAKE set for the FPS genre.
QUAKE 2 was the gold standard of FPS games in 1997, not Goldeneye.
Unreal (1998) was literally created as a QUAKE killer, not a Goldeneye killer.
A lot of people overrate Goldeneye, especially when games like QUAKE 2, TUROK, and HEXEN 2 came out the same year as Goldeneye in 1997, which blew Goldeneye out of the water, both technologically and gameplay-wise.
Halo: CE is a 2001 repackaging of ideas and features from other FPS games that came out in the 1990s, and is also overrated, and given praise and credit for things that it did not do first.
Goldeneye and Halo are good games, but they are not these extremely innovative marvels, that so many people falsely give them credit for.
This problem is due to Goldeneye and Halo being popular.
Therefore, they receive unwarranted credit and praise for innovations they did not invent, and were actually done by other FPS games that came out before them, or even during the same year.
I also grew up with goldeneye and feel the same way as you do bro. Amazing content you deserve more subscribers!
I feel the same way too, all the later games was never able to top Goldeneye. I mean all theese games were kinda my guity pleasure, but nothing will ever compared with Goldeneye. (that's why I was really sad when I know there's a cancelled remastered, Instead they went with the Cod ripoff remake) loved your vid man, subbed!!!
I honestly think it’s the little things most Bond devs (and FPS developers in general) miss about what made Goldeneye work.
1. Non-linear level design. No current developer in their right mind would create dead-ends and useless rooms in their levels, but it’s these dead ends that make Goldeneye’s levels both memorable and alive feeling.
2. Objective-based gameplay and difficulty. So many modern FPSes adhere mostly to levels where the objective is either to get from point A to point B or to kill all the enemies. These aren’t bad in and of themselves, but they get old after a while when those are the only two things you’re doing every level. Goldeneye had variety. Maybe you need to blow up a bunch of computers, or install a hacking device, or (my favorite) scare Boris into giving you access to the bad guy’s security system. You never know what you might need to do from level to level, and then you up the difficulty and realize you have even MORE things to do.
3. It’s a video game first and foremost. If it’s fun to do, the devs probably included it. Cheats, silly enemy animations, things exploding that shouldn’t explode, being able to carry as many guns as you want, hell even the multiplayer mode in its entirety was added mostly because the devs thought it was fun. Games are often too self serious most of the time and that can kill the fun in an otherwise very well made game.
Hear this. I still play goldeneye EVERYDAY, well now goldeneye and the wonderfully crafted Goldfinger64. Every. Single. Day. Its that timeless.
You are my hero.
U should play another game.
I do.. But i always start my session with some fucking GOLDENEYE. been playing the shit out of that leaked XBLA version.. Cant shoot thru windows on doors and cameras cant be 1 shot.. But its just so damn satisfying to use you can even use your GPU interface to add AnstFiltering and antialiasing it can,look quite good!!!
Even while away from home?
This guy is so charmingly self-important and serious about a 30 year old game. He deserves far more than YT gave him in terms of traffic on this video.
I like the high production values of this video and that you keep your equipment unhidden. But one gripe, I would've trimmed the ending milliseconds off of any clips where you're speaking to camera, since your eyes visibly drift back to the teleprompter.
I like what you said about Goldeneye's environments; the video game levels felt like real places that one needs to wander around in, rather than an environment specifically designed for the mission itself. I liked the winding hallways and "useless" rooms of facility because it felt more real.
Man... We went an entire console generation without a James Bond game. Hopefuly the Ps5 and Series X will see a new Bond game.
I missing not finding a bond game in stores I hope one day we get another game again
Yeah, it’s a real shame what’s happened to the franchise.
@@goldenguns2659 Well, Io Interactive's Bondgame has some serious potential! The last two Hitman games are very good!
My guy, you put in such great effort and commentary with your videos. You really should keep going and doing this! I really appreciate the approachability and knowledge you bring to this!
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for making it! Subbed!
Thank you! This whole video was just a personal story that I really wanted to tell. I spent a lot of time to do it right and I’m delighted to see others connecting with it.
No other FPS game outside of GE and PD has that same feeling of actually hitting your target. The sound effects on hit are not necessarily realistic but extremely satisfying. The way the guards stagger, allowing you to fairly handle a whole bunch of them at the same time as long as your aim is good enough..chef's kiss. The music is amazing, some of the most memorable soundtracks in all of gaming.
The weapon and multiplayer variety of PD is still unmatched by any other game. Over 24 years ahead of its time as of today meaning we might never see anything like it ever again.
Fantastic video! Had me completely engaged.
I myself didn't play GoldenEye. Only caught a few glimpses of it here and there. But it's very easy for me to understand why the game was, and still is, so important to many. I'd feel just the same if I had played it.
PS2 was however my first console, and Nightfire the first game I popped into it. Both were a reward for not eating candy for half a year. Originally it was a whole year, but I know the reward was expedited, though I think the obligations ran the full year. Consoles and games weren't easy to get your hands on as a kid. And now that you give a rundown of all the games, I'm even more thankful it was Nightfire I ended up with.
This title has brought me and friends so much joy over the years. Not even funny how it keeps on giving, with something new to get from it every time I revisit. Latest turn of events is playing it on Dolphin Emulator in 4K with remapped controls and save states. Still working on improving the setup, but it's already at a place where the best improvement would be my old friend who'd still want to play, coming to see me.
We always manage to find new ways to play the game, with the right combinations of map, game mode, bot configurations and random weapon set. On the new setup, we'll have even more to mix it up with. 6 bots as opposed to the 4 on PS2 is a welcome change. My newest crazy idea is to have each controller control two players, so you'll have to keep switching perspectives to not be a sitting duck. Have to mention it's very fun coming back to Nightfire with all the skills I've acquired from other games over the years. Always seem to discover a new technique or quirk to exploit, and it's fun to know I would have blown 9-year-old me out of the water at the game.
I did also get Everything or Nothing as a kid. Enjoyed it quite a bit. Though I'm sad there isn't much depth to how it's played. That is to say, there are far too few stealth sequences. Heck, there isn't even one full stealth mission! Every level where you start out stealthily, there will without failure be a point where the enemies just magically know you're there. Sad, because stealth is where the game truly shines.
The regular gunfighting that was fun in Nightfire, is now a clunky mess that is best avoided by standing behind a corner until everyone has run mindlessly towards you or peaked from cover in the exact same manner one too many times. Everything or Nothing is extremely restricted in anything you do; not sandbox-like at all, which is what it needs to capture the Bond essence. I ask, is it even a shooter if you can't point and shoot your gun wherever you want? Has anyone ever managed to throw a coin grenade where they wanted? I did enjoy the game, but its unrealized potential is just disheartening. Fun fact: The game is more enjoyable to play if you use save states as a game mechanic, because you can pull off the things you otherwise would have if the gameplay was more refined.
As for its multiplayer, you're not the only one who don't remember it. But I do. The deathmatch mode was just some brawler nonsense on three maps, which, by the way, you had to unlock every single one of by playing co-op. Now, the co-op is actually very decent if you can get into it with someone. This is where you'll find that the game does in fact have full stealth missions, which are ridiculously fun! I haven't found anyone on RUclips who tried to 100% the co-op, just people going through the motions with it. I did find this video through a comment you left on someone's gameplay, asking if you could use it, so there's that at least.
But, yeah, the EoN co-op is a hidden gem. Sadly it's hard to have the circumstances to enjoy it. If they had gotten rid of the tacked-on co-op door opening, and let you play them solo if you wanted, these missions would have a place in people's hearts just as much as the main game, if not more.
As for Rogue Agent, it's a comedic disgrace. Did gobble it up as a kid at a friend's house, but trying to play it now, the 30 fps combined with atrociously irresponsive controls get the better of me. The game does however provide some genuine entertainment for it's cheesiness and child-like story. It could have been a fun action game if it was more fluent, though.
If anyone read through this, thanks for listening. Have lots of thoughts about these games, but as we know there aren't many places to discuss them thoroughly. I feel this video is one that says meaningful, genuine and original things. So I'll add to it to the best of my ability.
As someone mentioned, it'd be interesting to hear your full take on why new Bond games aren't a thing anymore, and also what direction you'd like to see them take a new Bond game in.
Once again, thanks for the vid! Easy sub.
This review/commentary was SO EPIC. Awesome, awesome, awesome. BTW, is there any way to listen to that full piano theme? It sounds so beautiful!
DEFINITELY the best James Bond game ever made and also one of the best games EVER MADE.
Did you eve play other James Bond games? Or is this a case of your 1st being your favorite because that's all you played?
Just heard the pause music!
😯 🤯 🙌🙌🙌 ruclips.net/video/fK0AqKJsGcA/видео.html
@@Rottypops always a good question, what’s your fav bond game? I know there are some great ones out there!
@Rottytops I played a few over the years but nothing got close to goldeneye
The World Is Not Enough always impresses the he hell out of me for being on the N64. They game and perfect dark may be the most technically impressive games I’ve personally played on that console.
The Xbox Live Arcade version of the Goldeneye HD Remaster is available online. It's actually pretty good.
Great video!
Very well made video. It was a pleasure to watch!
Tornelius Hello there
@@BlackVeilSpectra general Kenobi
Thanks! I'm glad people are enjoying it. It took a long time to film and edit, but it's all worth it if people enjoy it. I wanted to do something different from just your normal GE retrospective and hopefully people like hearing my story.
Damn this video is amazing. Where are you man. You need to upload more, you are too good at this.
This clip is one of those hidden gems I got the luck to find. You're too methodical yet entertaining enough to keep my attention for 30+ minutes.
The downside is that I discovered this channel and it seems already abandoned 😭
What I learned today:
I need to play the other 007 N64 games
Goldeneye's development was literally, "that sign can't stop me, because I can't read"
My answer for why Goldeneye is my favourite purely based on how it feels is "Half Life 2".
Let me explain, the way a shooter feels is very important, the physics of HL2 isn't just a toy for the player to mess with it's integral to placing the player in the world of the game, Goldeneye of course isn't as detailed as HL2 but for the time it's very impressive, as mentioned objects can be destroyed and explode, there are many interactive doors that can be used to block bullets, empty casings flip out of the guns realistically, the actions on pistols animate, guards hats can be shot off, the physics of thrown objects feels really satisfying, it all adds up to create a real and physical feeling that we didn't see again until Perfect Dark and many games after didn't match.
The World is Not Enough is great i love that game and it has enough of its own polish to brag about but it compares similarly to other shooters in terms of feel, there's not a lot of physical connection to the world for the most part you just shoot people and they die and the levels are just a backdrop not part of the gameplay, that's not a negative it's how most games are, but i hope the comparison speaks to why Goldeneye is so special, it has more "parts" than you'd think at first glance, and the sum of its parts elevates it above its contemporaries.
Hey, first time seeing your channel (probably because of the relatively recent addition of GoldenEye 007 to the NSO). Really love your style and presentation, as well as your attention to detail; your genuine love for the game shines brightly for all to see.
Funny enough, despite being a HUGE fan of Bond growing up, I'd only ever played GoldenEye (partly because for years I didn't have a PS2, and partly because the follow-ups didn't seem to have the same charm to them, from what little I remember of various classmates who did play them), but like everyone else who has played it I've inwardly always wanted more time to play the mythical man in his various adventures. A lot of your conclusions as to why GE stands out hold up, I believe - it was built by a team that didn't know what they couldn't do, but knew enough about Bond to want to bring that experience to the console.
I'd love the Bond games to be put on current gen, I no longer have my PS2 and loved these games
Hey, keep your eye on Goldeneye 25! I’m excited to see what happens with that. And if you haven’t, go check out Goldfinger64.
If you have a PC you can always play GoldenEye: Source, and then GoldenEye 25 when it comes out :)
@@BlackVeilSpectra Goldeneye Source is amazing, but I don't really know anyone to play with. I know I could always join a random lobby but where's the fun in that? Although maybe someone on here wants to exchange info and play with me sometime?
GoldenGuns Do you have Discord? There’s several GoldenEye: Source Discord servers you can join. Then you can connect with players and get matches started. Also every Saturday night at 7:30 PM central is developer night, so you can play with a few of the developers of the game and other community members. :)
@@BlackVeilSpectra Wow! thanks for sharing. I didn't know that. I'll have to hop on one Saturday.
Damnit, just saw this and had no idea fan remake was in the works. Makes sense considering no one talks about it, I assumed immediately there had been a cease and desist. Siiiiigghhhh
BTW this is an absolutely amazing video, thanks for putting it together!!
This is a really well done documentary I watched it twice
Thanks Jack! I appreciate that. It’s something I spent a laughable amount of time on so it’s very nice to hear people are enjoying it. Makes it all worth it! My wife is probably happy to actually see me now that it’s done though.
Loved the video. Are you making another documentary or episode about the guns soon?
Something to add that maybe wouldn't work nowadays is the lack of checkpoints like were in old videos games. Beating high difficulty levels in our favorite 007 game was something to admire, I remember this level named Caves (I believe) that was actually very hard and lacking of health power was the real deal. I was young and maybe I wasn't making the best approach but honestly I loved this game more than a lot.
Your documentary is like a treasure box for me, it opened a vast area of nostalgic memories and fun memories too. When we grow up we know that we are meant to mature, but these things are like stories from our past.
Also I watched your other videos and I was thinking that maybe you can cover guns from other games (I'm not saying that I didn't enjoy your videos, I actually find them enjoyable to watch) I'm just saying that there's a lot of potential for you out there, like for example, talking about guns in games like this one or maybe resident evil (this is a boom now with RE 3 remake) and stuff.
Keep doing your amazing work man, I truly wish you the best for this channel, I know that maybe I'm asking too much, but you should definitely create more content.
Hey thank you so much! I spend a LOT of time on these videos (especially this one) and I do it because I want people to enjoy them so It’s really great to hear you got something out of watching it! I have actually thought about reviewing other guns that I have. I don’t get out to the range very much these days so that’s been hard, but I will certainly post more content. It takes a long time and this is a back burner kind of project for me so I don’t post often, but please be patient and I’m sure I’ll have something else out again.
My favorite N64 title by far. I just recently found all of the game levels remade in Far Cry 5's custom maps. They were very well done and scratched the itch I've had to play it again. Definitely the best Bond game there ever was or will be.
Love Goldeneye, How did I only just find your channel
You got yourself a subscriber! Great vid, hits the nail on the head :)
Thanks! I appreciate it!
The World Is Not Enough was actually great. The multi-player was excellent. But Goldeye was for many of us the first 3D FPS experience we ever had and it's hard to top the feeling of a kid experiencing something brand new for the first time ever.
It’s a shame that Ken Lobb thought Rare developing another Bond game would have been too costly, and that MGM actually allowed that garbage by EA (surprise) to be released.
GoldenEye is special to me because I was twelve at the time it released, and most everyone had it, so all of my friends and I would get together and play it solid after school and on weekends. Once we got into junior high, we went our separate ways and I wasn’t as interested in playing Bond games. Nothing could come close to the same experience.
I do remember playing “The World is Not Enough” with some of that same group of friends, but it was a rental, and we only played it for maybe an hour at best. One thing I remember specifically is that I told one friend to shoot an ammo crate, which subsequently exploded and killed him, to which he replied “What!? You _knew_ that was going to happen!” However, I didn’t know. We used to shoot the ammo crates into a single room on Facility in GoldenEye and have one guy guard it while three attacked. It took a long time to set-up those matches.
Some life happened and I was living with some extended family. That’s when Nightfire released, and I remember playing that just as much as I had played GoldenEye. The multiplayer was great. After that, however, I never touched another Bond game.
I still have yet to try the newly-released version of GoldenEye because of the requirements to acquire it (I refuse to pay for Game Pass on Xbox, and haven’t been able to buy Nintendo’s premium online subscription).
One day I will try it out.
In closing, I guess what makes GoldenEye stand out from the rest is that it was the first Bond game where many memories were created, it was true-enough (faithful) to the movie (which I didn’t see until a year after the game released), the graphics were great for the time, as well as all the added details, unlocks, and even the glitches made it such a memorable and sought-after experience.
I saw your comment on another channel about creating your own documentary and I had to check it out.
Shameless plugs do work.
Lol yes that was shameless of me. Glad it worked.
@@goldenguns2659 Good analysis of each game & yes Goldeneye will be the best forever.
Great video
Thank you a lot for the effort you put in making this video.
Thank you! I think most people would be surprised how much time it takes. I don’t post a lot but when I do I try to make it count. Thank you for the compliment. If you are so inclined, I’m always grateful when people share the video on social media...
Nice documentary mate keep it up it’s amazing
Thanks man! I appreciate that.
GoldenGuns no prob mate
GoldenGuns I love goldeneye n63
GoldenGuns n64
Good presentation and we'll edited video. Hope to see more
It takes time but I have an itch to scratch when it comes to talking about this game. Like James Bond, GoldenGuns will return.
I think you pretty much hit most all of the points about why Goldeneye 64 is the best. One other point though for me is that, other than a few exceptions, the levels all flow into one another. The end of the Dam leads to the start of the Facility, the Facility leads right to the start of the Runway, especially if you use the double doors, and so on for many of the other levels. This really enhanced the feel and interest into each level for me.
I claim a World is not Enough HD Remaster. The best bond game for me.
You my good sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, my friend! Hahahaha hats off.. now I’m gonna go try to figure out whatever happened to Goldeneye 25!
I totally agree with your assessment of TWINE on 64; I’d just like to add that the game lacks the Bond theme and that hurts the atmosphere greatly for me. Goldeneye has many brilliant variations of the Bond theme, take the watch menu for example. Surprisingly, the PS1 edition of TWINE, while an inferior game, has the better soundtrack of the two.
You raise a VERY good point, my friend (One I didn’t get around to making). The music on the ps1 is superior often and that actually doesn’t surprise me given its optical storage capabilities. It is interesting that they managed to license the bond theme for one, but not the other though.
The music is what makes it great
Best Bond game for me is everything or nothing then it's from Russia with love. I even have 007 racing in my list. One of the few games I would buy if I was to get back another OG PlayStation. Loved golden eye though. I would literally buy an n64 just for golden eye and perfect dark.
You know that build of goldeneye for xbla from rare was leaked, check it out it's on the webs some where
Goldfinger 64....OMG.....literally thank you haha hope its good!
Production is top notch dude
Pure nostalgie ! Niet te vergeten dat we toen van 2D naar echte 3D zijn gegaan, en dat dit voor velen de eerste echte ervaring was met dergelijke games. Ook voor mij was het ongelooflijk destijds! Veel mooie herinneringen aan dit spel !
Yooo! I remember that Q commercial when I popped the TND VHS in as a kid as well. I was so pumped for that awful game. That was a treat thank you
Great video, you've earned yourself a sub 😊
I just checked and it's sad that Goldeneye 25 got copyright striked down.
Fantastic video. I was too young for goldeneye 😢 but i loved everything or nothing and nightfire
Nightfire is basically a reboot of moonraker as far as plot. Clear up to a fight with lasers on a space station
Nightfire is my all time favourite and the one that I have the most nostalgia for as a 6th gen gaming kid. Still absolutely love Goldeneye as well though!
Entertaining video, i like that you are dressed up and all. Bond style, yeah. Goldeneye 007 will always stay in my gamer heart ❤️
so happy we finally have goldeneye 007 playable on xbox one. hopefully it gets a sequel and dlc someday.
i remember people saying there would someday be more levels like the multi-player pyramid/temple type one and that people loved that level so much it basically went viral though this was before people used the word viral that way so another terminology would have been used but same essential impression, that it was going to get a story added to it some how. someday. no idea if they really planned on adding things to the game but my friends said they did and produced articles and forum posts and such seeming to corroborate it at the time. no idea how they would have done it since n64 never got online functionality or the 8 controller ports it was eventually supposed to have and even the ability to connect the back of the gameshark pro cartridge to a pc for online functionality for the game and gameshark never did work at all, think someone told me that port was a dud/dummy port and didnt work or something.
everyone calls goldeneye a shooter and one of hte first mainstream/successful first person shooters that helped form a new genre
but to me its a visual story a video game a movie in a different format an interactive game a stealth game a spy game and mission oriented immersive story driven and as open world explorable adventure game as you could get that type of game ot be on the n64 hardware. its also a casual game and not too hard once you get the hang of it, it has 3 default difficulties and a custom difficulty and you can make it easier with certain movement skills and experience and strategies and ways of going through the level, etcetera. i love all the secret doors in archives and library and temple, never seen those in a game b4 or since. then you could make it even easier with cheat codes and gameshark cheats/codes.
yet even some of the secret agent and 00 agent levels are still playable for casual gamers
and i love how the game incentivizes and rewards slow casual stealthy gameplay at times and seemed designed for it. normally i'd play the missions through first and slowly unlock all the missions and then go back later and unlock the difficulties and/or do the timed runs to get the codes/cheats unlocked, and then play it again for fun very slow and methodical without worrying if the mission failed or not, etcetera. each level could be played 5-10 times per person without it being an issue at all and still stay fun, and then you could play everything again on multiplayer and if you couldn't unlock everything and didnt have a friend or family member to help, then there was gameshark, or apparently there were button combinations you could imput on the controller though i didnt know that back then.
the game is very open ended and something for everyone but yet feels immersive and not lacking for something to do, but yet on dam if you want you can skip everything and not kill a single enemy, only have to shoot once to break the padlock on the gate and run and jump off the dam to end the level, its hilarious to just stun the enemies by pretending they arent even there sometimes.
only bad thing about the xbox one version so far really is the fog is missing and even on agent/easy difficulty the ai/soldiers are way too aware/alert and far-sighted compared to the original game, its much harder to sneak up on them now, sometimes they act like they are still 00 agent instead of agent in terms of their ai level.
but yeah hopefully we get a sequel eventually and/or dlc
and for some reason neither the world is not enough or perfect dark felt right as a sucessor game to goldeneye, art style was too different for both, animation differences too much between perfect dark and goldeneye, weapons handle too differently in perfect dark, the ai were way too difficult in perfect dark at times, etcetera.
barely played the sequel to perfect dark that became a prequel perfect dark zero, just feels strange and they changed joanna from dark hair to a red head and changed her whole personality it seemed at times.
i keep reading that the new AAAA studio microsoft started is apparently working on a new perfect dark game either a reboot or sequel, so i'm hoping its good, it would be really cool to have a new franchise with a female spy like bond but her own character. and more stealthy like bond. tomb raider is great but i like stealthy games and tomb raider is more action/adventury then mystery/spy/stealth like bond is.
i think its the story and level design that help make goldeneye so good also. similar to why i enjoyed some of the halo 2 multiplayer levels but havent really gotten into any other halo game. destiny and destiny 2 are the closest games i've found comparable to goldeneye in how they feel and immersivity when playing them.
though there was one game on playstation 3 i played a couple times at a friends house in college called resistance: fall of man if i recall the title correctly that in some ways reminded me of goldeneye in art style theming and aesthetics to an extent and how the story telling was interesting at times and drew you in.
also growing up i always wanted a sequel to goldeneye where you played as natalya or that option added to the game, everyone wanted to play 007 in multiplayer i always wanted to play natalya and since usually you just see a hand sometimes i imagined i was playing as natalya in the campaign.
Really love this video! Although I really wish I didn't know the sad outcome of how that Goldeneye 25 project turned out. Makes that interview and love for the game pointless. 😢
Happy to say Goldeneye's HD remaster is now leaked!
The best thing in Agent under fire is the Bond moments.
They could take that much further , it is a feature I'd add in the hypothetical perfect 007 FPS game.
I still play it now
It's possible to play new levels of Goldeneye online now
remake GoldenEye probably coming again this summer
