But also remember that the Goldeneye devs intentionally made the RC-P90 have basically minigun-esque qualities. It was the wildest looking gun in the game so they gave it a fast firing rate and the same damage per bullet as the Cougar Magnum, which fired the most powerful bullets save for those of the golden gun. It was easily the most devastating automatic weapon in the game, far more powerful than the AR33 or KF7 Soviet despite the real thing being much less capable than either the M16 or AKM. It probably started as an error, but became a feature when they gave the gun the faster firing rate.

There is something to note about the AR33's design change. It was due to a limitation in the games memory. They could not store individual animations for each and every single gun. There wasn't enough memory. So, the recoil animation of the AR33 was shared with most of the other rifles. The stock was lowered in the design, to make it reflect that animation.

Both the "point shooting" and the offscreen reload are likely remnants of the game's original pitch as a Time Crisis-style light gun rails shooter. You can also see this in a lot of the level design: just about anywhere you can stand has all the cover and such you expect from a vantage point in a light gun shooter! For more details on the development, I strongly recommend the episode of Errant Signal's Children of Doom series about GoldenEye 64.

@@jmgonzales7701 a rails shooter is a (now old) genre where the player has no control over their movement; the game automatically moves you from location to location "on rails" after you defeat all the enemies. With the rise of FPS games, they're very rare outside of arcades. The last big one I can remember is Killer7 on the GameCube. As for point shooting, by detaching the camera from the player's aim, it lets the player (or players) react to enemies/targets faster than game settings allow. Think about the reaction times you can get playing Duck Hunt!

9:19 If I remember correctly, explosions in GoldenEye 007 take the form of damage rings that emit from the point of detonation in waves, leading to enemies walking into the blast radius but not immediately dying. Another effect of this is that it is also possible to walk into the blast radius a short while *after* the fireball has dissipated and take damage. 17:35 I believe this was an oversight: 50 in hexadecimal (base 16) is 80 in decimal (base 10).

@corkbulb2895 Жыл бұрын

I believe the reason hands aren't depicted on the two handed weapons is because of of hardware limitations of the Nintendo 64. Larger weapons had more polygons and rendering a hand on them as well slowed the game down. Goldeneye really pushes the N64, although it is coded inefficiently for an early N64 game. Perfect Dark used much more efficient coding and did much more with the hardware. Anyway, point is that the developers figured rendering the actual gun and not the hands was more appealing to most gamers at the time.

@hackerx7329 Жыл бұрын

It *might* have been doable in single player but for multiplayer not only would that be a bunch of extra polygons to render they would have had to model different arms for different playable characters and the arms would have been blocking a little bit of your already limited viewing area when the screen was split 4 ways.

Depends on what the armorer/props company contracted by the film production has on hand. In the mid-80s the Norinco Type 56 was exported to the US civilian market by the thousands, with semi-auto only trigger groups to meet with the laws at the time. The biggest movie armorers scooped them up by the hundreds and converted them to full-auto (they had the license to do this) with blankfire adapters, and thus they appeared in A LOT of 80s and 90s (and 2000s!) movies as AKM stand-ins. Most audiences can't tell the difference between an AKM and a Type 56 anyway!

To quote IMFDB: “One sacrifice made by the game due to the N64's poor texture buffer memory is that weapons used by enemies in a particular level tend to "inherit" textures used in the level in question; this means many weapons end up made from clearly incorrect materials, such as the all-black P90 ending up with white and brown wood textures”

it appears the DD44 or Dusseldorph 44 appears to be missing from the list but otherwise awesome... however must point out the original game Goldeneye64 didn't have 2 thumb sticks, only 1, as the controller was a trident design with the D-Pad being on the left, above that a the left shoulder button, centre was the analogue control (aka the thumbstick) above that the start/pause button, to the right you had 4 yellow buttons, a red and blue (A & B button), then right shoulder button (usually defaulted as aim) underside of middle trident grip was the trigger.... however only way i could see this as being functional as 2 sticks for move and aim would be either playing it on a Wii with the Gamecube controller or playing the Xbox version aka Goldeneye 007 Reloaded

For the single player you can actually play with twinstick controls on the N64. The control schemes starting from 2.x use two controllers so that you have access to two sticks.

Jonathan should react to Receiver 2! Basically every weapon has all the internal parts modeled and each different function of the weapon (racking the slide, taking off the magazine, inserting bullets into the magazines, etc) has a key for them. It would be cool to see him nitpick the weapons! Edit: in case anyone from the gamespot team sees this: to activate the Xray mode to see the internals open the debug menu with ctrl+f12, check inspect mode and hold i while ingame

@Toothily Жыл бұрын

Heck yes. Also, the debug menu lets you force any of the malfunction modes to happen. He definitely needs to see that gameplay feature.

Now THIS takes me back....personally speaking, I always had a soft spot for the Magnum, especially since it could shoot through walls, doors and other scenery. And the grenade launcher always made me think of the one featured in 'Predator', which is probably why Jonathan had trouble identifying it, since apparently that launcher was cobbled together specifically for that film. Still, hits me in the soft spot!

The Wii introduced a good handful of games where you aim on screen while moving around with the joystick, I think it's more immersive than using 2 joysticks. They even had mods like for Half-Life 2 where you could use the Wiimote to also move the aim around the screen and had Freeman's arm and gun look in that direction - really neat stuff!

24:25 I don't know if you remember, but the Nintendo 64 controller had only one analog joystick (which was revolutionary at the time! It wasn't until the Playstation 1 later made a dual-stick controller did that configuration catch on.) So when you wanted to use the precise aim by holding down one of the shoulder buttons, you had to stop moving (though I believe there was a button combination to lean somewhat). It helps that the game also has very forgiving auto-aim.

That's why you switch to Solitaire controls, where the C buttons act as move/strafe and the stick was turn/look. Nobody got time to aim with R.
