Molly Ringwald?

Looks like an old flash video.

That gun was baller tho.

Goldeneye is the one game on every top ten N64 games list that absolutely DOES NOT BELONG THERE. Only rose-tinted glasses make it so.

I remember walking into an Electronics Boutique in 2000 and seeing NFL 2K on Dreamcast. I swore that was the peak. It looked like real NFL!
Wrooster8
How about holding like 20 different guns and like 360 rounds for each or in that picture 105 shotgun shells simultaneously
blais
still better than minecraft fite me
ToSisPoS
Ha ha. Take *that* limited graphic capabilities. Still a better game than any CoD.

I’ll take gameplay over production value any day

Never knew Molly Ringwald was in this game.
spidermenz
Wait….. that's me now
vmos
I said the same about tekken 3
kerrigan778
I remember when Half Life 2 came out and everyone was talking about how we reached a point where graphics couldn't be improved much more
Then again when Crysis came out. Now even Crysis looks dated.
Shaodyn
The graphics in that game were great for the time. Shame the AI was so moronic.
"Right in the middle of a firefight is the perfect time to run in front of you! Oh God, bullets!"
That's why I liked Elizabeth from Bioshock Infinite. Because she fucking stayed out of the way during gunfights.
GeminiMax
Nintendo magazine said there was a nude code........ i searched for so long... so very long

Remote mines at Stack
nothing sweeter than remote mines + knowing the map 10x better than everyone else

I've shot her so many times because she ran in front of me

The first game I thought was realistic was mgs2 which is weird in retrospect.

“Realism” is a cheap illusory fetish, and a gigantic distraction from far more important topics of ARTISTRY and QUALITY

You could operate in a myriad of ways. No game feels the same after your first MG imho.
SpoilsburyToastMan
Were you perhaps a bit of rogue as a teenager, who maybe had one or two psychedelic experiences? That got bizarre.
BigDamnHeroInTightPants
We played for cash in college, I made so much money. I knew the spawn cycle for every level.
wait like, every time a player respawns you know exactly which fixed spawn point they’ll appear at? Or is it chosen semi-randomly
Not random, each death followed the same cycle. Once you knew it 1 kill could chain into multiple, you could run and kill before they moved

Slappers only, license to kill
Heketon
And because you didn't forbid it, I'm taking OddJob.

We did everything license to kill. Slippers was always the best.

TheSmoothSayer
Compared to the flat, dull, 2D characters that barely looked at all like what they represented before, this actually was amazing at the time
^Wild misrepresentation and distortion of fact, since good artists made great clear vibrant 2D game art. Also, N64/PS1 looked LESS
detailed in some ways, because of horrendously small limited texture memory and blurry filtering etc. 2D pixel was often crisp and detailed
7Rhymes
Plus how most of us look back at it with newer screens when they were made for old school TV sets.
Boksha
3-D characters on the PS1 was initially a big downgrade, but a lot of it came down to artist experience. Compare FF7 to Chrono Cross... 1/2
I don't think any games even did filtering back then, and for the better. Games like Cross look terrible at high screen resolutions. 2/2
Still one of the best games of all time. Load up the bong and play on slappers mode
saucenes5
I was all about Goldeneye and it will always have a place in my heart, but it doesn't hold up. Framerate is like 15 fps. Otherwise I agree.
Eldibs
It was fun for its time, but it does not hold up to modern standards at all. Compare to Ocarina of Time which is still delightful to play.
MahuAurelius
Cause Ocarina of Time is still unique. There's a million GoldenEye-like games. It would be great to be skinned modern though!!!
There were multiple fun Zelda games similar to Ocarina of Time, and they also did a modern GoldenEye that nobody liked.
Then I was 0% accurate!!!
kbowser
Obligatory Perfect dark is better
TankTrain
True. But none of my mates had it, so they never wanted to play it at my house. Goldeneye and Starfox were favourites though.
NightHouseAssociation
bot mode was legit for the time
ShotgunBetty
Team Perfect Dark all day every day
Same engine tho right?
No it was upgraded and enhanced to the extent that it was mostly it’s own thing, but of course built on prior work

Who do think Lydia from Skyrim was based on?
PTSD control centre panic babysitting Natalya 360° while she does some “important” typing

ontarioOT
Oh geeez, that AI pathfinding was atrocious.
Made it more fun
BlazeMarshall
Never had trouble with her in the Jungle; hell, she was deadly. In the Bunker though, oh god...
Rikoshi
For me it was the Yacht level where she always jumped right in front of my bullets!
Grimmy32
I didn't feel that for Goldeneye. HL2 on the other hand. The gman demo in 2003 was crazy good.
xizar
I was there at the beginning, when vector graphics or ascii text were all we had, and yes... G-Man's lipsyncing was when i finally believed.

“I wasn’t impressed by an awesome (but slow as hell) full game. Now an incomplete graphics demo gimmick promotional tool, AMAZING!”
cyberninjaru
That “gimmicky tool” was actualized in the full game if you actually chose to play it instead of making baseless assumptions.
Targe0
The detail of the eyes is still impressive. As it's hard to get animated eyes to have a life like look and This version of G man has it.
LoopStricken
And then you get this a mere 15 years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxErDzsIdKI
gearsfan1549
for me it was the first gears of war (cough my name cough). it was dark and dreary but it looked amazing back then.
CloakedFigure
“Time to rise and smell the ashes…”
shuttlecockinakumquat
Yeah. GoldenEye was pretty dated when it came out. Dreamcast and PS2 were the first time I really shit my pants over console graphics.
InappropriateElephant
Dreamcast had some of the smoothest looking graphics and ffx on ps2 was the most shiny game i'd ever seen at the time.
LongoloidFartExplosion
I feel they could retcon the G-man out of the whole series (which I have played several versions of lately) and nothing would be lost.
toddofla
Iconic vid. Was blown away by the physics
dogfromthehills
Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman.
terriblethunderlizards
I like how gman is having a wonderful time.

Gman in VR HL: Alyx is also nuts, seems like YouTube clips of it don't do it justice
dansonso1
The ending for Alyx was mind blowing in VR. That’s a memorable ending.
blastedsteak
That shit gave me shivers. Having played since hl2, holy fuck. Alyx in vr blew my fucking mind. Best gaming experience in many many years.
That will be due to the Youtube compression of the video's. Basically down's the rez on everything uploaded to it.
Not to IMPLY you’re sleepingonthe JOB - No… one is moooore deserving of aREST.

Very good rendering to text 10/10
Santorrr
That's some baller facial animations for 2003
BustyInnocent
They hold up well for today's standards as well. Animations overall have been progressing slowly. Mgs2 still looks great in its movement
PimpinKen
I wish they would just finish the fucking series. I was so pissed the latest installment was for fucking VR
himisti
But it's not continuity for hl2 so wouldn't have helped to finish the series. Also it's the best VR game
i would argue boneworks is a little funner. but hl alyx is a neck and neck tie
I only tested boneworks for 20 minutes, no idea what it's actually like when the game begins and it's not just a sandbox tutorial stuff
IrateWolfe
A friend of mine compared Boneworks to Gmod. It's fun as hell, but it's a circus of jank compared to Halflife
Rebullo
That's like being pissed about a game requiring high end graphics carda (my quest 2 was way cheaper than that) SOON TO BE $100 MORE, FR!!!!!
NOTICE: YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT!! THE ZUCK IS ABOUT TO RAISE THE PRICE OF ENTRY FOR VR BY 100 USD JUST BECAUSE
That's not a good comparison. It was in the 90s, but not now. I was playing skyrim on a gt 570 before I got my 2070 super. A more direct >
Comparison would be having to buy a PS5 to play the new horizon game since you *have* to purchase hardware to play it, like you have to buy>
A VR set to play Alyx. Though a PS5 has more games for it than a VR set up does.
