GoldenEye Video Remembers The Worst Part Of The N64 Classic

One of my favorite things about HD re-releases are that they allow you to see older games as you remember them, rather than how they actually are. This GoldenEye video by YouTube user Warialasky reminds me of that. It looks like GoldenEye, because when I played it back in 1997, it looked this good to me.

The other thing about HD re-releases are that when you revisit them, there are things that HD cannot fix, like poor game design. Warialasky's video encapsulates that pretty well, too.

There is a little bit of harsh language in the video. You've been warned.

I hope he releases that mod to the public.

Pretty awesome, although they overdo it on the narration. Would've been funnier if they limited commentary to exclamations of frustration and rage.

I got her killed on purpose...

This video brings up an interesting underlying point ( i think). With super realistic graphics like this, which was said by someone somewhere that it will happen in our life time, could a task like shooting soldiers and people that look like normal civilians be all that fun? My animalistic instincts say yes; this society and my morals say no.

Natalya wasn't the smartest secretary I take it?

Should have added how all the furniture seemed packed with explosives. Hmm what happens when we shoot the chair... BOOM. *noted*

by Zero Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 12:42 PM

I don't know if Goldeneye ever looked good to me. And yeah, the AI was always stupid. Stupid Natalya. Never forgot the Cradle on the highest difficulty... urgh.
by sealsaa Sunday, February 19, 2012 at 12:43 PM

I Judo-chopped her to death a few times. Hilarious.
