      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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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 Před rokem +7

      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.

    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.

      If memory serves there's a reload that does have a hand in it and you can momentarily give Bond a phantom hand by reloading while dual welding. Sure can't remember which gun it is though so I might be wrong.

    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

    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.
