Amazing how much effort they put into a licensed game. You can tell they really wanted to do the Bond franchise proud.
>>
>>12474070
What's a shame is that some of the best lessons from Goldeneye did not make their way into other FPSes. Enemies reacting to where you shoot them was so good. Now everything will just shrug off bullets until they're dead. Another one is missions having additional objectives based on the difficulty level. That adds so damn much replayability to the game and changes the game so much, but I can't think of any other FPS that does that.

I just finished the campaign on 00 Agent for the first time this morning and had a great time. I don't think I ever made it past the first few levels as a kid. It's an incredibly satisfying game to play and the presentation is flawless. Using a watch gadget for something cool is a straight dopamine hit. I think zapping open the floor hatch on the train and barely escaping with Natalya was my favorite part.

Fuck Bunker 2 though. I didn't think to leave Natalya in her cell until my fifth or sixth retry. Abusing the throwing knives really saved me there too. But any time I triggered that alarm, the whole thing was shot.

Cool, thanks to Rareware, but the whole presentation is shallow, boring, generic. Also the terrible framerate

MoH set the standard for every successful fps moving foward

I love the gameplay of goldeneye but goddamn the level design is absolute fucking garbage tier. So many retarded fail states. So many retarded "stealth" missions where firing anything over 1 shot at a time alerts 3 enemies that infinitely spawn clones of himself. So many reused assets and filler missions. So many objectives that don't make common sense unless you look up a guide.

T. Got burnt out 5 missions before the end of trying to beat it on 00 mode.

Tendies derive pleasure from external acceptance. They can't enjoy games without a seal of prestige latched on to them, so they never discuss the actual games, only their imaginary effect on the industry. When you spot this trend, you can't unsee it anymore.

It's a shame Halo came out and homogeneized the FPS genre, it would have been cool to see how Goldeneye/Perfect Dark design philosophy could have improved with better tech and other studios doing their spins of those games. Instead of poor fake retro recreations we get today

Same here, finished Agent 00 on the XBLA remake for the first time a few weeks ago. I expected it to be harder to be honest. Game becomes really easy once you figure out the enemy's AI.
The only thing that gave me trouble was bunker II as well. Didnt realize you were supposed to kill everyone with throwing knives until you get your silenced pistol since the guards start cloning themselves and horde you once they hear loud weapons. Ended up slapping everyone since never got used to the weird trajectory throwing knives have.

>Ohh boy, tiny levels and up to 4 whole people playing versus at once where fortunately you can see your opponent's exact location at all times

How revolutionary!
>>
>>12475278
Thats so fucking disingenuous. I like the strategic elements of goldeneye. But the level design is terrible, and the mission design within those levels is equally terrible.

There are a couple of good ones, like the opening Dam is really good. The mission on the ship was fun. I really liked the creepy red sky mission outdoors.

But holy fucking damn they did not think 00 mode out. There's so much obtuse shit because it's designed by people who obviously did not like or play FPS games at the time.

Im willing to concede that modern controllers probably made the game easier than it should have. Beating it with a n64 controller sounds really awful. It feels like you are constantly fighting the controller and not the game.
>>
>>12475329
Maybe if you're a casual.
>>
>>12475329
Actually its not that, its playing at 60 fps. Dead serious. Especially with M+KB. Also I swear they made the remake easier than the original. I recently played the official xbox port of the n64 game and it felt much harder than the remake. But having that shitty lag while you aim because of the low FPS makes the game a pure pain in the ass.
>>
>>12475342
It's a part of the game, it's part of the challenge of it. If you don't like that that's fine, but he can't say it's easy when he's playing it on a vastly easier mode.

Also saying "they did not think 00 mode out" is pure ignorance and retardation. It's notorious that while games like Quake started with Easy or Medium mode Goldeneye started with 00 Agent and the game was designed around that and it shows. That's why Nightmare on Quake and similar games feel like they're just throwing more enemies at you and it's artificial. So just goes to show how lame people are trying to find fault with it when they're claiming things that are well-known to be and objectively the exact opposite in reality.
>>
>>12475342
So was making a first person shooter where a key aspect of it's difficulty is topping out at 15fps one of the things that made it revolutionize the genre?

You shot in a first-person perspective. What are you talking about?

>There's so much obtuse shit
Did you ever watch the movie "Goldeneye" (1995)?
Ever notice how your video game missions were ALSO 007's movie missions???
>>
>>12475394
nta but no it wasn't. First of all it goes to 20fps most of the time. The film standard is 24fps so it's almost that. Secondly, why would it be? That doesn't sound like it would be one of the things that revolutionizes the genre, if anything it would be the opposite as in more fps = more revolutionary - so what makes you ask that question?

Still easily shits on modern shooters. There should be more games where every weapon has an alternate mode.

that's true but not even the half of it. remember, the half-life people had basically made a game in the quake engine, had one play of goldeneye and saw the bullet holes, glass breaking and other things, and said OUR GAME IS SHIT.
They knew they couldn't put something quakelike out after that and they had to start their whole game from scratch resulting in half-life the most lauded FPS ever

Useless post. You're just angry and wanted to show some friction towards GE and than not even give a single example, KWAB.

First off, do you have a source on it consistently running at 24fps? It's sure not my memory of it being anywhere near that smooth and looking it up the sources I found list it far lower. Saying 24 would be good anyways because it's close to movie framerate is comical, because it's not a movie it's an action game. More to the point, that guy seemed to be complaining that the remake running at a good framerate actually made the game worse.

Any way you slice it, the notion that Goldeneye revolutionized the genre in any way is hilarious. It's a gimped console version of one of the most popular genres at the time. Other than running on cheap hardware and having multiplayer that makes it feel like a party game because you can see where the other three people are the whole time what was actually supposed to be revolutionary?

It was an introduction for many to fps. Its multiplayer made it a gaming phenomenon. FPS became more popular after its success. It set the stage for halo console parties. Retards judge it based on all the advances that came after. You have to appreciate it for what it was at the time.

Snore. I was 23 when it came out and it looked terrible and played even worse even then. Yes, shooters on PC were already far better

>>12476153
If by that you mean it introduced console kids to shooters which watered down and cadualized the genre then sure call that a revolution. It's multiplayer made it a party game, you can see where everyone else is so you just run around like drunk idiots. It's not a serious or good fps game in any way.

I know you'll just troll and wax poetic about how because it's on a Nintendo console it must be the most amazing thing ever so go for it. This board grows more pathetic by the day.

PC could've done all these things in 97, but it didn't. Goldeneye lit a fire under PC devs' asses.

NTA but Mechwarrior 2 literally plays more like a flight sim than a first person shooter. Meanwhile, Goldeneye is a bona-fide FPS.

MoH was somewhat of a companion piece for Saving Private Ryan. Spielberg wanted to make something that would teach younger audiences about WWII. That got thrown out the window by Underground though...

That came out over a year after Goldeneye.

As much as I love that game, a good chunk of the story mode is a fucking drag. The Combat Simulator is where it shined.

>Yes, shooters on PC were already far better
They literally weren't in any way. Quake was about the most advanced at the time and looks like shit compared to Goldeneye - even at the highest settings. It was fucking blown away by Goldeneye. It wouldn't happen now because of gpus but it happened due to the very peculiar situation at the time where 3d graphics cards were a new thing and the N64 was running off of a stripped down SGI workstation - ie. something fundamentally built for graphics unlike the IBM PC. I don't know what brain damage some people have about this but am tired of stating it, it's just a shame for casual people to be told lies because of idiocy.

>>12475342
Yes, native goldeneye is SIGNIFICANTLY harder than emulated goldeneye. Not just because of the lowered FPS but the fact that enemies are borderline invisible and blend into the background after certain distances. Aztec feels near impossible, and the target times feel frustratingly hard to pull off as you slam your body into the sides of doors and get stunlocked by KF7 fire

I find that most people who bitch about the controls have just never tried using alternate control schemes. Using Solitaire basically fixes all the things people bitch about, other than it feeling "wrong" because it's a southpaw setup. It should have been the default scheme instead of Honey. Running diagonally using two C-buttons boosts your speed by about 40%, which makes earning cheats mich easier. It also lets you fly circles around those who don't know any better in multiplayer. I'm not even some meta/speedrunner fag, it's just stuff I noticed from playing the game a fuckton as a teenager.

speedtranny garbage no better than any other rareslop. go back to sucking off karl jobst.
