On August 1997, Rare released Goldeneye 007 - the first person shooter that is considered one of the best games ever made. In 2012 it was discovered that 10 hidden games were built into Goldeneye. In this episode we take a closer look at this.

I just remember the black and red debug menu you could pull down with the shoulder buttons and getting stuck in the sniper tower's geometry in the first level :) best gaming memory ever, still got the little badge they gave me.

If it helps, you don't have to be all that skilled. A lot of what you end up learning to make this possible is that nothing is really magic and it all comes down to following specs closely. Writing a ZX Spectrum emulator is easy, legitimately and not as a flex or anything like that. Writing a good one that accurate and efficient is tricky. IMO, it's a fun project I think every developer should try someday. Write a simple emulator, even if it's just for the Gigatron; it's a really eye opening experience.

I was very happy in 1983 when I got my 48K Spectrum, especially when I eschewed my brother's 12inch B&W portable in our bedroom and went downstairs to sample the delights of Atic Atac on our colour Hitachi through RF. Yes, you could actually see what colours the keys were instead of interpreting 50 shades of grey (well 3). Then later a mate up the road lent me his 'big box' Sabre Wulf for the weekend. He was not pleased when I finished it that Sunday and mentioned the message at the end (featuring Underwurld). Now I have all the big box games in a cabinet (though they have faded?!?!??!). I was also in seventh heaven in 98 when Banjo Kazooie came out and the colours spilling off our Sony Nicam CRT were a living room-filling joy to behold. Halcyon days. Shame these days are over. Oh well, just going to have a quick go on Conker Reloaded. The smell of opening Knight Lore, Alien 8 etc. I remember it so well.

Getting four minutes in (loading) and the screen dropping back to the Sinclair copyright notice or a psychedelic mosaic of colours, it was crushing.

Rare was put on Kinect duty for ages, now they are making Sea of Thieves one of the more popular games on xbox.

@Octave_Rolland 3 жыл бұрын

Creative differences were the biggest problem, many Rare employees felt Nintendo was too controlling. The provocative tone in Conker and the game-breaking bug in DK64 were the last nails in the coffin. By the time Rare began working for Microsoft most of their best talents had left, and the rest were too confident in their ability to keep making genius games. When Viva Pinata released it was clear they had done very little for the Xbox brand, and Microsoft wanted to get proper return on their investment because 1/3 of a billion dollars is a lot of money. Rare got banned to the Kinect mines and that's basically what they deserved. The release of Sea of Thieves, which was in development for a bunch of years and still featured incredibly shallow gameplay at launch, showed that even the Kinect mines weren't enough for them to get their heads out of their asses. I hope things are getting better these days.

Instead the other player must stop moving to use the precise aim crosshairs to aim downward and deliberately at him. Because of this, Oddjob gives his user an unfair advantage and his use is often looked down upon. GoldenEye’s Gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds was quoted in an interview saying "“It’s definitely cheating to play as Oddjob!

Having worked and shipped commercial software, what happened was: Beta cartridges were made, QA aproved everything, then the plan was going to remove the emulator and all other related code, and this was decided to be extremely dangerous as the recompiled code might end up on a different memory chip, adding any kind of bug subtle enough you won't pick it if you don't do a full QA run, and that is basically duplicating efforts. A Manager took the decision of "OK let's go GOLD, hide everything and please touch the minimum possible amount of code to not break anything for gods sake".

Did Nintendo have any exclusive contracts with Square? I heard Square wanted to develop on the PlayStation because they used the CD-R platform.

Seemed like somewhere along the lines Square had exclusive contracts with Sony after or slightly before FF7. I might research this later, or see if I can find videos about it.

And Final Fantasy was in a similar situation, where the N64 didn't got any disc drive, but Square probably expected one. At that time every console developer jumped to CD. And they would need to downgrade the whole FF7 too or just use a different platform. Nintendo is self-inflicted.

If I had even known about this before now, I would think it to be false... being well known that N64 carts hold very limited storage space. I Just looked it up: Golden Eye only used 12MB. Mario64 used 8MB, Ocarina and Turok 2 used 32MB, Mario Kart and Smash 16MB. Resident Evil 2, Conker's BFD, Majora's Mask used 64MB. It's amazing how "small" these games are!

I'm sure you know this but your videos are some of the very best online. I love how you explain complicated things like the PS3s SPUs with incredibly easy to understand language. It's because you understand things that you're able to explain them well, especially when compared to most other channels. This video is just another example of that.

GoldenEye was probably my favorite game on the N64 together with the original Mario Party and Smash Brothers. I remember playing the game before actually seeing the movie and it was really fun to see the correlations between them.

You should do some technical deep dives into the history of old companies. Like Masters of Doom with a bit more technical chops. I like your more technical points, which I feel 99% of all other game/retro commentary is missing.

To answer the question around the 4:35 mark over where the ZX Spectrum games were going to be in GoldenEye 007: they were planned to be available in the form of an in-game arcade machine, either tucked away in a hidden location on a story mode map or within an arcade room on a bonus/multiplayer map, according to director and producer Martin Hollis. The reason why it didn't happen was rather simple: they simply ran out of time and left it on the cutting room floor along with a couple of unused MP maps.
