Uhhhh... you guys need to go back and play the game, it really dosent hold up anymore.

Sure it was brilliant in the day, shame that day was back in 1997.


let me guess, you only played it a few times? once probably? grab yourself two or three friends, and a 30 pack of keystone/natty ice, play the game for a good couple hours, and you will be right back into it. the game definately does hold up. just like anything else, you HAVE to get used to it. this is mostly the case with N64 games.


Ugggghhhh... I had Goldeneye parties, Nothing was better at the time that getting a bunch of mates together with a case, an N64, 4 controlers and some pizza. We use to play Goldeneye and maybe some Smash Brothers, Bomberman 64 or Mario Kart 64 till the sun came up. It was great so I have a fair idea of how good Goldeneye was, I have gone back to the game in the last 12 months and it really hasnt aged well even in its muti-player.

 

That all said and done one thing Goldeneye always proved to me was that local muti-player beats online muti-player.


I Am Talking About Today, Not When It Came Out. Obviously It Was Great When It Came Out, But I Am Trying To Illustrate The Point That It Still Holds Up Today.

If Nintendo didn't exist, RARE would probably have developed their games on another platform, anyway.

Wouldn't Have Been The Same. N64 Was Way Different Than The Ps1 And Saturn. That Is Like Saying Final Fantasy VII Would Have Just Been Made On The 64 If It Were The Only Console On The Market. That May Be True, But It Wouldn't Be Final Fantasy VII As We Know It Today.

If Nintendo didn't exist, Rare would be a very different company. Donkey Kong Country "made" them, it paid for their massive, new HQ and got them dramatically higher budgets for their games. They went from an obscure developer to a developer that had the best funding and some of the most exposure in the world.

Nintendo was also the one that bought the rights to GoldenEye so Rare could develop it in the first place.
