》》》START 》》》 The classic first-person shooter is 25 years old! Well, honestly, I think a problem talking about classic video games like Golden Eye is there is nothing else to say that is not known at this point, except for memories and stories not necessarily related to the development, but let's give it a shot. I am particularly fascinated with the late 90s video game development stories and Golden Eye is not the exception, there is just a bunch of stories about this game development I wish more people that are enchanted with the video game industry would learn. For example, did you know that Shigeru Miyamoto himself thought the game was too violent and asked Rareware to include a "false" ending showing the game characters at the end playing around showing that everything in the game was fake? It's the kind of story that this industry doesn't have anymore. Anyway, about the game itself, I feel an unusual feeling of nostalgia for playing it, when the game starts in the dam and you start listening to the iconic soundtrack there is something that makes me smile for no reason, nowadays that's pretty important if you ask me. Golden Eye as a game aged and its rough edges are more notable than ever but after all, it helped to build a genre and is still one of the most memorable and inspirational games I ever played. And probably for everything that it did for the industry Golden Eye is the true definition of a masterpiece. What are your memories with Golden Eye 007? Do you like it? Or do you think is overrated? Note: A few weeks ago a documentary for the game named "GoldenEra" was released, it's pretty lengthy and supposedly it includes new info about the game development, it is paid content, though. |

I don't care what anyone says, 4 player license to kill slappers only is still just about the most fun you can have |

Still hoping that remaster makes its way out of limbo somehow. |

Definitely a classic. It doesn't hold up in terms of gameplay due to those wonky N64 controls, but that game did so much good stuff for the time. Great campaign, lots of extras, great multiplayer. Me and friends played it quite abit until better shooters like Halo released. Definitely a game I'd love a remaster for if it can keep everything original intact, while offering some cool improvements like perhaps more players in multiplayer, or any other extras or additions they can think of. |

Looking back this was a revolutionary console game, it was one reason why you would regret only having a PC or PlayStation 1 or Sega Saturn, it was the best reason for any teen or adult to buy a Nintendo 64. It was the 1st game I ever played on the N64 at a friends house, I had only a PC and a PS1 at my dads house in which for the time being most FPS games were exclusive to the PC computers only, but Goldeneye was an exclusive to the Nintendo 64. Goldeneye 007 was the first game as far as I knew that had realistic enemy hit detection, if you aimed at the groin the enemy would hold it and die, unlike all other games at that time, It was the 1st game where blood appeared on the enemies that have been shot and where the bullets went in. all in all it was not too violent because unlike another N64 Exclusive the 1st Turok games series their was no blood splatter or gore that would appear upon hitting the enemies, but instead enemies would appear bloody on their uniforms. The most multiplayer maps in goldeneye had little detail and didn't look like the games developers were planning on making multiplayer as popular as it turned out in the end, there were no bots for multiplayer meaning in order to play arena style or instant action you needed a buddy in the room sitting next to you with another controller to enjoy multiplayer, unlike Duke Nukem 64 & Perfect Dark & Turok Rage Wars. and some other FPS games on the Nintendo 64. |
