HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 сен 2020
- In August of 1997 Rare released Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64 and with it came a paradigm shift of what most thought a first-person shooter on a console could be. Based on the 1995 James Bond film of the same name, today Goldeneye is revered for it it’s enemy A.I., level design, gameplay, and of course, its legendary multiplayer. This is the story behind the making of Goldeneye, a Nintendo 64 masterpiece.

Big thanks to Graslu00 for providing the correction below. He's got a great GoldenEye centric channel you can check out at RUclips.Com/Graslu00/
The correction: The reason GoldenEye XBLA didn't release wasn't because of Nintendo, but due to Rare / Microsoft having no licensing to work on the Bond franchise. That, and because GoldenEye 64 doesn't follow the new guidelines imposed by MGM after its release and success back in 97.
You can read about the guidelines they added after GE's success, you can read here - web.archive.org/web/20190614083347/www.mundorare.com/features/the-men-who-knew-too-much/ And for GE XBLA: www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=6578
TL;DR: Even if it was an issue with Nintendo and they shorted it out, they wouldn't get too far as MGM would not agree to remaking the game the same way it was.

I was out in public when I heard the hospital bit, and not only did I burst out laughing and have to go back to hear that again, but the store clerk heard it too and started laughing since apparently they also played GoldenEye.
making of perfect dark pleaseeeeeeeee ;D
Thanks for the video! I really appreciate your work!
Thanks for watching!
My three friends and I had my friend’s house to ourselves while his parents were gone. It was storming, pouring down rain and we walked to the pizza place down the street, bought a pizza with the change we scraped together, ran back before the water soaked through the box and played goldeneye for hours. Best day ever.
Couch gaming with mates... thems were the days! :D
Good memory. Thanks for sharing.
We used to wait outside Microplay @ 6PM, on our bikes, waiting for somebody to return the game, so we could rent it & play it all night.
@@S2GUnit Yeah, back when life was decent 👍👍
Sooooo true.
I genuinely think that when people say “goldeneye” a majority of people will think of the game before the movie
For people in the baby boomer generation, probably not.
I actually didn't know there was a Goldeneye movie until a couple years ago. I thought it was a standalone game for 20 years.
Brandon Crosby bahahahaha that’s hilarious
Fax
40 and younger, yeah
I played this so much as a 90s kid, but didn't see the movie until I was an adult. The whole time during the film I was saying, "it's just like the game!"
I did the same thing
Exact same for me.
Us kids that grew up in 90s were the luckiest kids alive. This game is nostalgia at its finest. Still holds up to this day.
This game was also played beginning 2000.
@@maxalbert8903braveheart is still watched in 2024. Still a 90s movie.
As a bachelor in his 20s, the minute I learned about Goldeneye I went to the store and bought an N64, four controllers, four rumble packs and this game.
Goldeneye multiplayer became the new reason to gather and drink. 10 to 15 people hanging out on a Saturday night waiting for a turn on 1/4 of 32 inch crt tv. Good times.
I'll vet it didn't cost $1000+ like it would today.
@@danielpowers5891 I've still got my copy ... somewhere. *Sounds of someone rifling through drawers*
Not true
Not just because of this game, but I just recently bought a N64 and a bunch of old classics so that I could play some of the games from my childhood. If you haven't already, I would suggest that you get Smash, Mario Kart, and Mario Party if you're looking for other fun 4-player games to have friends over and drink.
Lucky you have 10/15 people to have tourneys.
My dad played this game a lot, even after 20+ years he would still play. He died last year tragically but Goldeneye still remains in the N64 as it was the last one he played.
Vanessa Purvis I’m so sorry for your loss Vanessa. Definitely a classic game, your Dad had great taste!
Damn. Condolences. Your dad was awesome for still after 20 years played this game. I grew up playing this also. God bless you and your family.
Damn, this hit hard having grown up playing Goldeneye 😫😢😭
Sorry for your loss, Vanessa.
My dad like you has passed away and this was the only video game he would play when we were young. He would get so mad when I would beat him. Haha . Good memories for sure
When i was in college in the late 90's, i was a stage manager for the 1200 seat student union theater, which happened to have a 40-foot wide screen with a digital projector in the booth. I was trusted with my own set of keys to the facility. So me and some friends went in after midnight and played Goldeneye till dawn, multi-player of course. By far the most memorable experience playing this game.
I actually played this game with my brothers so much, that I had actually memorized the screams the enemies would make when shot in sequence. I just had way way way too much fun with this game. One of the best ever.
I would force my brother to play with us if we didn’t have a fourth. Lol. He didn’t like playing video games all that much, plus the fact that he never won gave him greater dislike for the game. Lol. He had went to stay the night at some friends of his and they were trying to get him to play. He gave in saying one game and that’s it. He smoked his friends without them having a chance. They were pissed that he didn’t play after that one game leaving them in defeat like that. Lol. We were playing on a level that was unmatched by anyone we came across.
I remember knowing all the spawn points in order in all of the multiplayer levels - a great way to lose friends quickly when playing Licence to Kill.
They had funny sounding screams.
It went, Ah,ooh, ya, oong,ye,ha,Yi, ouye
They made some funny yelps and yells
Back when you and three friends would all sleep over and spend the entire night eating pizza and sodas while playing this.
Replace soda with beer and yeah spot on.
Strong Telephone damn your old
CIVICIOUS maybe he was just a badass 12yr old lol.
We did meth at 6 back in the day
Now they just sit at home and play online...... progress 👍
Great work man. I'm 34 now, this game was a huge part of my life.
Yeah same here, Still have a working copy. Played it a few months ago.
@@yoeriw7099 😳💯🙏
Amen!
I’m 10 years older than you and it was a huge part of mine!
@Rothr Warek #sightonautoaimoff
My brother, friends and I would split the screen in half with cardboard, and one of us would sit on the floor so we could not see the other screen. Absolute classic, thanks for sharing.
What we did was use a cable splitter hooking it up two separate TVs. We could cover the top and bottom of the team’s screen. I would make my character match theirs to confuse them and either shoot their teammate or delay from shooting at me. Lol.
There was a company that sold a box with mirrors in it. You'd set it in front of the TV and on the other side, it had 4 viewing ports for each player to look into
Even to this day kids are doing this. I hate cheaters.
@@robertc49 man up, yall can both do the same thing!
ah yes, Screen Peekers!! hated that!
It was about 24 years ago when my friends invited me over to play it. I only saw them when I visited my dad, so I was always conflicted morally about spending time playing goldeneye in their basement or being with my dad. We would put a blanket down the center of the screen and attach it to the ceiling tile, so we couldn’t see the other teams screen. The frantic anxiety of proximity mines in the complex often yielded loud cussing and slamming of the controllers. It was addicting, nerve wracking and fun all at the same time.
Proximity mines in complex was OP!!!
Ahhhh the good ol days
We did the blanket thing for halo 2.
I liked grenades in the complex, or grenade launchers were just as fun. Lol. Proximity mines in the water caverns was scary. Lol.
Your dad is happy for the time he got with you and happy that you could make good memories with friends while staying at his house too 😌 i worry about my own son having concerns like this, and it just makes me happy when hes happy, regardless of if hes actually with me or not. I think many dads feel this way, i think its part of being a dad
@@mfgary5094 yes. Dont forget Bond launching a proximity missile.
I put in so many hours on this game as a kid. I literally played this game for years. One of the best games of all time.
100% mate totally agree
So basically, Goldeneye was amazing because they were given the freedom to take risk and think outside the box and do the unorthodox, things many AAA games nowadays don't do anymore because it's all about money. Amazing that a team that never made a video game before have us one of the best of all time. Fantastic video.
Yea that's pretty much the gist of it. Freedom allows for huge failure, but it also allows for revolutionary games. In an opposite manner AAA titles typically stick to proven formulas, low risk, low chance of being revolutionary.
This and Silent Hill are perfect examples of what can happen when you let the artists do their work without too much interference
I should have also included when saying it's a 2-way street: There's likely a huge number of utterly failed titles where the dev team was given freedom to take risk, think outside the box, and do unorthodox things. That's the problem with flexibility. It broadens the spectrum, allows for master pieces, but allows for utter failures, as well. That latter bit companies don't want to risk, especially when a good game that fits the current mold of games may do 90% (eg. the latest COD game) as well as a master piece, high risk, low reward from their perspective.
@@MrSlowestD16 oh for sure! A lot of Kickstarter backed games fit that mold, as well as Duke Nukem Forever and Daikatana
@@FlyingFelicia Yeah. Fun fact: I'm one of the ~7 people in the world that actually enjoyed DNF :-P.
May not be the best experience ever, but was happy to see the Duke back in action after like 20 years with pretty good gfx.
Dude. It’s hard to understand to people nowadays days but this is ALL we had in regards to competitive shooters. It was revolutionary.
One of the greatest games ever made!! Thanks for this video, loved all the insights!!
Thanks!
GoldenEye seriously was a HUGE leap in FPS games, I remember wasting away my sleepless nights playing it.
This game is like the McLaren F1 or the F40 of video games. Iconic.
I remember staying up to 4 am with my friends playing "slappers only" or "proximity mines" and we'd have standoffs that would last 20 min or so. such good memories.
Mines were the best, but slappers only was funny because of all the sound effects of people screaming and getting bitch slapped
Proximity mines in the Complex, placing them in the spawning locations and racking up the kills. Most dishonourable award almost every time. Oh the nostalgia. They were great times.
Placing proximity mines on the ceiling was my favorite move. People would generally look for the proximity mines on the floor. It would always catch people off guard and the hilarity of your screaming victim was the greatest
@@RCruz Also, if you're quick you can pull off that move where you throw a remote mine at your opponent's face and set it off in mid air
Proximity mines in the complex. I learned really early on if you threw a mine on a crate of supplies, then took the crate, the mine was invisible when the crate respawned hahaha
I feel lucky to have been a teen in the 90s. I had the chance to discover Goldeneye64 and Half-Life. 🥰
As a 10/11 year old, I spent A LOT of time playing this game with friends.
We all did. if you’re pushing 40 this game was a staple of all our childhoods
Same! ‘87 gang
That suggestion of having all the enemies shaking hands at the hospital in the end would've made no sense lol
Well, in Mr. Miyamoto's defense, it was a movie.
One of the greatest games ever made,even to this day .
I agree
Agreed.
Agree, facts
Wow!!! I remember when GoldenEye initially was given to me for Christmas along with a brand new Nintendo 64. I loved everything about the game. My friends and I would always start in The Facility and we would respawn and we would always come down from the air vent into the bathroom just like in the beginning of the movie. Oh how simple life used to be. Some junk food, and multiple sessions of multiplayer all-day. Everyday.
I had the same experiences. Almost word for word. One of the greatest games. Cheers
Multiplayer not online land before land was land
Man, watching this. It’s just like, the story of how lightning was caught in a bottle. Everything about this game came off perfectly.
Everyone looks back on this game with the fondness of going on their first date or something. It was just great, it’s that simple.
Easily in the top 50 games of all time. You simply can’t tell the story of video games without it
the editing in this is golden, in my eye
lol Someone's got a license to pun. Or, uh, wordplay? I dunno, something! Thanks for watching!
Heyyoo
golden what in your eye?
Too good.
@@WrestlingWithGaming The Man with the Golden Pun
I spent A LOT of hours playing this game!
I think we all did. Such good memories of marathon 4 way split screen playing! "DUDE! Stop looking at my screen!"🤣
This is up there in hours for me with Halo Combat Evolved
Too many hours i was in high school when it was released and it was a party favorite
No slumber party is complete without it
The visual presentation of this video is absolutely fantastic. Great work on the CGI and motion graphics in particular
*made by a team of inexperienced people* - Creates one of the Best N64 games ever made!! 😍 That's a team you need to hold onto!
one of the best game ever made on ALL platforms
It’s a quality largely lacking in AAA companies nowadays. No wonder Rare was called the way it was. Truly ahead of its time.
And they couldn't. No wonder Rare is shit now.
Only a few things can make a 90's kid feel as nostalgic as GoldenEye on N64 !
Kids growing up with CoD got nothing on us.
The first shooter with battle royal...sorta...if you count 4 player split screen
Couldn't tell you how many nights me and my friend spent on that multiplayer
damn! insane
Um du dood Halo trilogy cod doesn't cum close to halo ce h2
@@The80sWolf_ isn’t nostalgia classified as a feeling?..🤨🙄
Classic James Bond movies are so incredibly awesome. This game is a miracle. No other game has come as close to capturing that Bond magic.
Even as a single player experience, Goldeneye is such a sick game even to this day.
Definitely one of the top three N64 games and probably one of the greatest, most influential video games ever made.
Dude the graphics and production quality in this one looks AMAZING! You killed it.
Thanks a lot! This one was a real pain to put together at times lol. I'm really happy with how it came out though.
Just don't pick Oddjob! 😁
Hi Mike
I was thinking the same thing!
Thanks!
Would love to see a remaster of this. I loved this game
There is a PC recreation (free) Goldeneye Source, I play multi often.
There is an xbox one. But it got canceled. You can find the leak
There have been modifications using N64 emulators to up the framerate and resolution (one called 1964 GEPD Bundle). There are videos of it in HD at 60 FPS. It looks great.
There’s a few classic 007 flix which I think could make great FPS games as good as Goldeneye was:
You Only Live Twice
TSWLM/Moonraker
TLD/LTK
Who else agrees?
There is an Xbox arcade HD remake that got canned due to licensing. It’s the best looking remake, better graphics, HD textures etc. you can find it online for free and it runs on PC. Best version of the game to play
@7:00 this defines exactly what made this game such a master piece. Not only was the team inexperienced, but did things that the industry would deem "too much work". Thinking outside the box, & doing things the hard way made this game what it is. Look at today's gaming standards, cookie cutter assets being shared by developers, short cuts being utilized & trying to outsmart everything leads to poorly managed, unoptimized & bland games that are being pushed out every few months. No one hardly takes the time anymore to do things "the right way" putting time, & dedicated hard work into today's games & it shows.
I'm making a colossal realistic map of the world for Age of Empires 2 HD, and I have seen my competition. They took less than 3 days for their pathetic maps. I am taking months on mine. You reap what you sow.
These guys are up there with Oscar award winning directors, they made a masterpiece that had an impact on many, many childhoods including my own.
I find it amazing that one of the most enjoyable fun multiplayer experiences most of us have had in a game, was thrown in last minute.
Crazy that multiplayer was a last second add on; it was the most fun I had with friends during my childhood.
I'll never forget this game, it started my love for gaming. As a 90's kid this was the thing to have on N64
I remember many a long night up playing this game with friends on the 4 way split screen. Too fun.
I know what you mean I laughed so much when I had no weapon and would still outlive my shooter
same here .We also did a few round of shooting before going out, taking shots of liquor for each kill. Great equaliser after a few rounds. Great laughs, arriving at the bar wasted....
Drinking Surge
same but on a 34" TV :-)
Some of my fondest teen memories was playing this in a cramped room with 6-7 other people in there. Kings court. Winner stayed playing. The other 3 had to give up the controller to those waiting. And on and on it went lol it was Goldeneye, Forsaken and ofcourse Smash bros.
I just got nostalgia listening to the golden eye themes
Man, I'm 34 and don't play video games at all anymore. Gaming was never a huge part of my life, but this game holds so much nostalgia for me. Great video dude. Also, I forgot how awesome the music was in this game!
Games in the 90s and early 00s were simply amazing. So much great memories playing split screen with the friends and a box of pizza! Now we’re all just playing through the internet alone in our rooms with a box of pizza.
I remember when this game first came out. We played it for days straight, stayed up all night playing multiplayer, racked up about 300-400 kills each before we finally threw the towel in. My one friend gave, what he called, "May Day" training to another friend to improve his skills. May Day was his favorite character to use and I came to loath her existence, having been killed by her over and over again thanks to him lol. I totally didn't realize it came out 2 years AFTER the movie, I swear they were released together when I was a teen.
This game was revolutionary (to us) and haven't been wow'd quite the same by any other game since. What a fun time in video game history that was.
I agree there hasn’t been a game like this ever since.
Play Red Dead Redemption 2. You'll be wowed for sure.
@@beckyquin8365 But in a completely different way. Goldeneye was a gaming revolution. Like a Michelangelo work of art.
the motion graphics on this video are amazing
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!
Miss that game, one of the top best ever!!
I always tell people that "Perfect Dark" was like Golden eye but better for multiplayer, but sadly not as many people got to experience it. Both are fantastic. Perfect dark just holds a brighter candle in my inner child nostalegic heart.
This game made me smile every time I put it on. I’m smiling now as I watch the different levels on here. It was the first time that you WERE James Bond in a game.
Just watched - this was amazing dude. 10/10
Thanks man! :-) I think I need to switch to Windows movie Maker or something so that I can start getting these out quicker.
When u get such high praise from MVG u know u are killing it :)
They shut down the Goldeneye 25 Fan Remake Project! 😢
Oh shit MVG approves. Love your channel as well
Oh I was just making a joke about how complicated my editing is. For this video I used Premiere, After Effects, Cinema 4D, and Blender. The latter 2 were for the CG graphics and animation. I've looked into Davinci and while it's really good, I'd still need After Effects and Cinema 4D so for me it just makes more sense to stick with Adobe's Creative Cloud suite for now.
us 35-40 year olds really have lived through the most incredible things of modern times from their origins and through their peaks. Probably why we are so much cooler than everyone else
I'm 38 and I concur. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing that will compare to the timeframe of the 90's where PS1 and N64 reigned supreme.
True. I wish I was born in the 80s.
Hey, I was born in 1991 but I also grew up playing SNES and N64. Finished all the levels in Golden Eye as a 6 year old kid.
39 here, you are 100% correct!
Hey some of us that were born 20 years earlier even (1960s), had lived through the 'real' beginnings of home computer games with the likes of the early 8-bit micros; the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, Atari 400/800, Tandy TRS-80, etc... but when the SNES and Megadrive/Genesis came along it was pretty amazing with the leap in quality, and then when Playstation, and N64 came along , they were doing stuff that we couldn't have conceived back in the early 80s! And Goldeneye was a culmination of all that to me; I'd loved the Bond films from the 60s to the present, and Goldeneye was no different, but when the game came out it was something REALLY special!! For it's time, an incredible single player game, and the multi-player was just so much fun with a group of you all together.... and it really was a first for consoles
So some of us older dudes have seen even more incredible advances...from the first ever, to the latest!! ;-)
Arguably the most legendary gaming soundtrack of all time. especially the pause music. its a banger
when this game was released i could not believe what i was seeing. such a classic
My brother and i got the n64 when we were kids and since my parents always sent us to our grandparent's home (about 3 hours from the city) for the whole summer we'd take the console with us cuz there were only 3 channels on TV.
there were a bunch of other kids as well that went there to just see the games, i still remember we were playing goldeneye when one of these kids peed his pants cuz he didn't wanna lose his seat xD
I can totally imagine xD Seeing goldeneye for the first time as a kid it was impossible to look away
No games today worth pissing your pants over sadly..
@@slickrickwillyjames I guess back then games were a bit more special. Not every household had a computer for example. A phone was still a thing you just talked trough.
Remember when games had to be perfect on release because there wasn't such thing as updates and patches for console. Nowadays games are released broken because "ahh we'll fix it later"
And with virtually no loading time, no installation required, no DLC, no season pass, no online multiplayer with subscription and no required internet connection.
Exactly. For me, insurmountable stumbling blocks. I very rarely engage with modern games as in doing so your just compounding the already severe issues by effectively complying through buying.
Thats only half of it. The "patches" are often 20-30gb in size, and games are huge, because they simple do no cleanup or data optimization. They just compile the whole thing again, and makes you download it. That makes calling it a patch not really true anymore, since you're just downloading the updated chunk of the game all over again, not really patching it, like you used to xD
Updates are a good thing as there can still be bugs that weren't seen and they can add more content. Surface would always bug out for me if I go to certain spots on the level and textures for the faces and particles will be a blocky grey mess. Sadly it's abused by most AAA developers where games receive day 1 multi GB patches, thus rendering physical copies near useless now plus any new added content. If you buy an Xbox One with Halo MCC 20 years from now, you'll get a broken mess with 2 missing games because the servers for the Xbox One will be shut down but at least that's where PC shines as you can still get Doom and the 4th episode expansion
Or they break a game with an update to “balance” it for everyone so the noobs can win. Balls.
I always remembered taping a long piece of cardboard in the center of the TV to prevent screen peeking in 2 player mode.
This game was so much fun when I was young, single and especially multiplayer. Can't even tell you how many hours I played it over the years. It's been probably a decade since I last played but now that my son is old enough, I may introduce him to it. We've already played through Mario and OoT together in the recent months.
Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are still my favorite FPS games to this day. The graphics on them are dated of course but the gameplay holds up very well.
Concurred. For some reason old school 3D games are plagued by not aging as well as 16Bit masterpieces. That doesn’t make them bad at all though.
Perfect dark is the best fps and even better than golden eye
@@erablaktv Im with you there. I spent years playing goldeneye and when i found perfect dark it was groundbreaking. I eventually got the cheat by completing some mission under a certain time where you get unlimited ammo no reloads. The most fun cheat i have ever had on any game
@@MrWackozacko oh man lol yes indeed..best fps game ever to me.endless fun.
Wow, imagine if Goldeneye had shipped without multiplayer. While the single player is excellent, the game never would have resonated with as wide an audience without multiplayer. Anyway, great video as always, man!
It's like the first modern warfare
It spawned the fps multi-player we all know for sure. Game was great, and addicting
Many happy hours on the single player campaign back then, but when it came to multiplayer, at the time, it was The best!! Someone had to step-out for a minute, quickly rush to surround their character with proximity mines, then nip back....when they returned BOOOOMM...!!!! It took a while for them to realise what had been done, but SO much laughter inbetween.... Goldeneye just Really caught lightning in a bottle... It was a fantastic single player game - unique for it's type on console; even over and above the excellent Turock - and a hilariously fun multi-player game (amazing to think that was just a last minute bodge-job!!).
What a game!!
@@joshlewis575 The only thing wrong with your statement is the word "was" being a part of it.
Agreed, but I think the real meat of the game is in the single player campaign due to the level design, variety, and attention to detail (Snow, Train, Jungle, Aztec, Junkyard ect). They needed to take a little more time to improve the framerate for multiplayer as it becomes a slideshow when you played with four players and explosions occur on screen. After awhile, my friends and I would end up doing 2-player deathmatch sessions as it would be almost impossible to aim consistently with how jittery it was with 4-players. Also, if you played any PC FPS around this time, Quake and Duke Nukem 3D were already out and allowed lanning or online play and had a lot more options and features (everyone could have a full screen experience, framerate could be super smooth if you had a good rig, you could have more than 4 player deathmatch ect). It was just that the setup and cost was out of reach for most people, but it was easily a better experience overall. So if you already were familiar with with multiplayer from these games (lan and/or online), Goldeneye's multiplayer wouldn't have been that impressive.
Ah how it was to be young... I remember my parents buying us this when it came out on our N64. It was SUPER addictive. I recall my Brother and I playing all day, night and into the early morning before our parents making us go to bed, lol... The multiplayer REALLY was addictive. My favorite level was the dam, being able to free fall over the damn edge was the BEST!
Brilliant video! Congrats! Have so much nostalgia and fondness for this game and you collected a terrific number of annecdotes and details about the development. Excellent stuff!
If you never played this on a 14" CRT with your mates after school, you never lived! So many great memories of this! Superb video dude!
I wondered why my eyes were hurting for playing too long, 4 players split screen on such a small tv was horrendous hahaha
Kids these days don’t know what they’ve missed!
we played on a projector at school in IT class
My guess would be it was a 15" CRT. Have I not lived? :|
One of the best games ever made. Played this game for a year straight. I was so good at multi player my friends eventually refused to play with me anymore. 🤣
Haha. Should've told them they could use Oddjob.
I used to do 1 vs. 3 with License to Kill mode on. Had a mile long list of people who wanted a shot at the title. They failed. Would've loved to have squared off with you.
I was actually forth in the world at one point. I dropped some spots from time drift.
I think this game would make a great retro eSports tournament.
Learning the spawn locations to just instakill everyone. It was brilliant!!
“Stop looking at my screen”!
The runway track playing in the background goes so hard
Jesus what a fantastic game. I've lived in 7 different states and countless towns and everybody has the same story about Goldeneye. It literally brought people together and of course I have the same experience.
This was the Holy Grail of all games. I spent 6 months of my life playing it
Anyone else remembers when the enemies rolled over and you shoot em and once they get up they fall down dead🤣
Yeah I always thought that was hilarious
I like it when they are holding their ear and slowly dying, and you just keep shooting them until they lay down on the ground.
@Matthew Hodge ahahaha "paintball mode". Wasn't there a big head mode too? Lol
Especially on slown motion I use to put paint ball mode on an lit their asses up.
Great video, you did an outstanding job! Love GoldenEye, it was one of my favorite games for N64, the multiplayer was phenomenal, I had a blast with my friends playing it!
That guitar is so good. One of the best OSt i ever heard in video games history 0:20
Perfect dark is my main influence when it comes to music production.
I'd be interested to hear music with Perfect Dark influences.
Is an amazing soundtrack

I honestly can't think of another instance of the game that's based on a movie being better remembered and more revered than the film its self.
You're totally right. The game is a classic and still revered to this day, while the movie itself was always just considered "ok" in the grand scheme of the series. I liked Goldeneye the movie, but it's somewhere in the middle for me, and I think a lot of Bond fans. Nowhere near the best, but not quite the worst either. But the game, I still bust it out at least once a year.
Although GoldenEye is one of my favorite Bond movie, the quality of the game clearly was what persisted from the Brosnan era.
Tron
For me anyway.
Litle nemo: the dream master(but that one is not hard, everyone forgot that movie)
This is the first video of yours I have ever found, and I got to say I love this channel. Your script writing, editing, and research are really great!
That practice you've been putting in on CGI has really paid off! Fantastic work dude!
I kinda wanna play that Miyamoto version of goldeneye, with the handshakes
Thanks! After everything 2020 has put us through some wholesome handshakes at the end would be very welcome.
@@WrestlingWithGaming except this isnt just a game.
Ahhhhhh the memories! So many good times playing this with friends. This is something I miss in games. Back before online multiplayer your friends actually came over to the house, you'd grab snacks and play until sundown. It was awesome times.
This is one of my most nostalgic games. The sleepovers I had and all the fun my friends and I had playing this together has given me so many incredible memories.
This was so incredibly well done! Definitely subscribing!
Thanks!
hands down one of the very best ive played in 37 years . thanks for this big trip down memory lane
This didn't leave me shaken but it stirred my interest in my N64.
"Goldeneye was released two years after the movie of the same name left theatres. The hype had already died down."
This game is a perfect example of why you don't rush a game out to meet a deadline, INCLUDING if it's a movie game. They didn't rush it and it was a masterpiece as a result, instead of a stain on history like most other movie games.
I guess that’s true if the game being developed is looking good. They must have seen it during development and though yeah, this is a winner. I’m sure that’s the reason the delays were permitted. If the game you’re making is crappy and its just a cash grab project, and every additional dev day costs you $$ then I can understand enforcing a deadline. That is the business of game development I guess.
But this game was such an anomaly on so many levels, it’s strange it happened at all. Great vid man
Yeeeessssss
And most movies based on games as well. I hate the way that happens, just use the hype of the license and run with it.
But most games based on movie licenses aren’t good so doesn’t matter how long you wait the reason they don’t is to cash in on the hype
Cyber punk 2077?
Awesome research & presentation on this video. I especially like how you tracked yourself into so much of the content. "Living inside" the game throughout your narrative was a really nice touch. You gained another subscriber here! Thanks!
Thanks so much Coluch. This one was a lot of fun to make though at times I was like, "why did I come up with all these difficult to make shots?" Lol. Thank you for watching and subscribing.
Super appreciate you making this. Brought me back to the 90s.
I remember playing 4 player split screen on a TV with a 10" screen. Good times
Quit screen peeking
Another great video! You've outdone yourself with the graphics work on this one!
Thanks. I'm just trying to get to your level one day.
Hi Blob
@@WrestlingWithGaming You flatter me, kind sir!
@@WrestlingWithGaming Seriously, how much work was it to mock up the N64 and all those shots? Really impressive!
It was a lot of work lol. But I'm still fairly new to 3D modeling and animation so I'm sure that's part of the reason why it took me so long and why it felt so difficult. @blobvandam is way better than me and has some really cool stuff on his channel.
Such a well done video, and kudos for taking the time to making the graphics, it perfectly fits the style of the game!
Loved this video. Amazing creative approach with your presentation. Felt very nostalgic to the point that I felt a little emotional; takes me back to an innocent time in 1999 when me and my three siblings would play multiplayer.
OMG THE NOSTALGIA I'M GETTING FROM WATCHING THIS IS INSANE. I used to play this game all of the time with my brother. I loved watching this because as a five year old, I didn't realize the extend of the impact that Goldeneye had. I'm very glad to have come across this.
This game was unreal when it came out. I couldn't stop playing.
It’s the Mario of first person shooting basically the best first person shooting
@@theoneaboveall6768 how did it become that?
@@jmgonzales7701 this game is just it’s own game 🤣 it made any other first person shooting multiplayer look stupid. i don’t know it was just well made. The story from the movie we all knew. the character see familiar I mean everything was perfect
@@theoneaboveall6768 really it doesn't really look that great?
Editing is on another level. Fantastic.
really great vid. Enjoyed watching throughout.
I remember playing the hell out of this game in late december 97', was staying at a friend's house, he had it, I was HOOKED, loved everything about it, watched very little tv, celebrated new years, but mostly played this game with a small group of friends while playing the TRU cd on the boom box, true to the game it's called if I remember correctly... great times man, had an absolute blast, the entire atmosphere was awesome, wouldn't trade that for nothing... beat the whole game in the short time I was there, and I loved playing the multiplayer with the guys, lots of fun
Yes! HOOKED or addicted are such the appropriate words to use when describing this game. I would tell my friends, “I need to play!” They didn’t like it when I said that. Lol. In those moments it was peak performance with my gameplay. Lol.
Got my N64 in December of '97 and played the hell out of this game!
From age 12 to 15 or so, I played the hell out of this with my friends... often on a tiny 13" TV. lol
The turning the gun on yourself was hilarious.
Broke so many nights playing this game with buds.
nah shaking hands after beeing shot is crazy ☠☠☠☠
Amazing watch and a ton learned here. Had no idea Blockbuster stores got 20 copies sent over to them!
Thanks man. It was a pretty smart move. I got the impression that some people think Ken is a bit of a shall we say, exaggerator, but other people from the team said the same thing about him wanting to send Blockbuster copies. Freaking brilliant move.
It’s pretty ironic that Blockbuster was part of the key to sales success for Goldeneye considering how Nintendo felt about game rentals haha.
Totes agree. Load blown, I’ve been looking for the history of this game on RUclips since 2006 and finally here it is. My tit milk is totes expressed.
Blockbuster was key to a lot of games success. We would go there and rent the game before you would buy it.
That’s where I rented it, then me and everyone who played it went and bought it after.
Best fps ever remember many late nights with friends playing splitscreen multiplayer.. Great upload👍👍
Thanks!
The Golden gun was OP lol 1 hit kill
Three reason why this was the goat of all time
1.gameplay
2.Wristwatch pause music beat drops
3. Nostalgia
Yall did a really good on this video and editing it, as well as hitting some points I never knew I needed to know, thanks for the nostalgia
Thanks! There's no team or anything though, just me writing, editing, 3D modeling, etc. Glad you liked it!
Best game due to exactly being a good game but I truly think it's the memories it brings which makes this game a masterpiece.
I'm sure nostalgia helps, but I played it for the first time years later as an adult, and it's still a damn-near perfect game.
This popped up and I immediately tapped. Great content man!
Great job on this video man. Excellent job.
I still listen to this soundtrack today. Now over 40 and a software engineer myself. I love listening to this soundtrack while coding.
Man that background music is so nostalgic. Staying up all night in grade 8, throwing proximity mines all over the place and blowing each other up in 2 player multi-player. Complex and Aztec were the best for multi-player. Perfect Dark came out after and was pretty good. But not 007.
Perfect Dark's storyline would fit better today than when it came out. love that game too though
Perfect dark was the shit. Played a lot of goldeneye until perfect dark came out and changed the game again
