I too have very fond memories of Goldeneye. If they tweaked the controls and made it online multiplayer for the VC, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

That is awsome.... I've personally been pondering a Gears of War type of real life movie thing... Look fun to do.

That was more awesome than porn.

I love the guy on the balcony who kept trying to run off it. Big LOLZ.

Golden Gun would piss me off though. 1 shot death Not FTW.

*sigh* We've posted this before. No wonder you never post anymore DMV

No problem. I didn't mean to come across like a dick. If I did, sorry. You guys do great work on this site. But, what I like to call the "smarmy pandemic" has pushed me over the edge lately.

Funny stuff, but this has been around for beards!

This was good stuff. My favorite was how they did the goofy "ow I got shot in my hand" animations.

And I'm in the minority I think... This game was great for it's time, but I have no desire to ever play it again. Even if they revamped the controls, upped the graphics, and gave it online multiplayer, I doubt it'd be as good as it was back then.

About a year ago, I hooked up my old 64 and decided to play some Goldeneye. We hadn't played it in years, and we were psyched. And then we started playing, and... instant disappointment. I didn't really mind the ugly graphics; it was the awkward controls, the poor framerate, the general slowness of the game, the poor animation, the way you spawn without a weapon. Perfect dark was even worse in some ways, with it's incredibly slow framerate and annoying blur effects that make it hard to see and last even after you die and come back.

A lot of 64 games really still hold up well today; Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, The Legend of Zelda games, and Starfox 64 are still fun, and to this day I warm up Super Smash Brothers every so often to play some 3 or 4-player deathmatch. Goldeneye, unfortunately, hasn't aged so well.

If you still long for some old-school Goldeneye action, give Goldeneye Source a shot. It's still in beta and has its share of bugs and balancing problems, but it does a remarkably good job of capturing Goldeneye's vibe while making it suprisingly playable for people who've played games like Serious Sam, Half-Life 2 and FEAR.
