You two and also noname2200, Goldeneye had four different control settings for a single controller (1.1 - 1.4) and four different settings for using two controllers (2.1 - 2.4). Setting 1.2 resembles the Turok controls, you move with the four C buttons and you aim with the analog stick. You should be all ashamed for not being able to figure this out.

Eh?

You gave the advice to use a setting with two controllers when stof wanted to play Turok style. That's why you are included.

Jesus Christ, thank God someone said it. I was about to start beating my keyboard over my head.

I was reading the responses and I was in shock that so many people didn't even know they could change their controls. Ridiculous.

Speaking of controls and FPS games (rant time), they all suck shit these days. It's very difficult to land headshots in the heat of battle, and I find myself moving the cursour either too far left, or too far right when trying to zero in on my opponent. The movements are far too stiff.

And another thing: AUTO AIM IS ALWAYS FUCKING TURNED ON BY DEFAULT. I wonder, do all modern day FPS "guru's" think they're good? That they have the GAME assisting them to win? That they're totally ownage because the cursour automatically aims into their opponent? It's total BS. Auto-aim off, and 1.2 controls with an N64 controller couldn't be called anything other than perfect.

Granted, people these days will have trouble adjusting to the ultra-sensitive N64 analog stick... they'd probably have no finesse in their movements and claim the stick is awful due to their own incompetence.

The ONE downside the the N64 controller was that the stick would die relatively fast. It would only last 1-2 years if you weren't careful. If you weren't a stick mashing psycho though, it could go for 3 pretty decently.

....

I feel like a bitter old man at age 20...

 

Actually, if you had read my response to Rol, I knew completely that you could change controls in Golden Eye, and I'm willing to bet that most other people realized that as well, but I think the problem lies in how goldeneye indicated the differences between its different control schemes. That's certainly what threw me off.

As I pointed out, in the 1.1 control scheme (that I HATE) it labeled the analog stick as "move" and the c buttons as "look", when you switched to 1.2, the only thing that changed was that the cbuttons were now labeled "move" and the control stick was labeled "look" which gave me teh initial impression that the only difference was that the analog stick and the c buttons got swapped around, but still had the same configuration.

Also, what the hell did you do to your N64 controllers? I've never had that much trouble with mine. As a matter of fact, i think I still have both of my original N64 controllers and they're in perfect condition. The analog stick isn't loose at all. I think I did lose a 3rd party controller that way though.
