Funny that Jonathan mentioned the 80 round capacity of Goldeneye's RC-P90. If you didn't know, that was a slight oversight in the coding, where they mistakenly put in 50 in hexadecimal instead of proper decimal, which comes out to the iconic 80 round mega mag the video game version has.

17:35 I remember reading somewhere that the 80 round capacity for the RC-P90 may have come from accidentally putting the value in hexadecimal. 0x50 = 5*16 = 80.

[@jonathanferguson1211]

Yes, I believe that's correct.

[@scythelord]

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.

[@jazzf8246]

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.

[@jmgonzales7701]

what is a light gun rails shooter? are there more like it today? what does the mechanic of point shooting offer?

[@jazzf8246]

@@jmgonzales7701 a rails shooter is a (now old) genre where the player has no control over their movement; the game automatically moves you from location to location "on rails" after you defeat all the enemies. 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. As for point shooting, by detaching the camera from the player's aim, it lets the player (or players) react to enemies/targets faster than game settings allow. Think about the reaction times you can get playing Duck Hunt!

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.

[@corkbulb2895]

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]

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.

[@Musabre]

On the reloads animations point, it was this fact that made me gush over Perfect Dark when it released. I was dazzled by the slick, and very professional/trained reloads from Agent Dark. Impossibly awesome stuff for me as a kid (and still now, let's be real).

[@cykeok3525]

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. Most audiences can't tell the difference between an AKM and a Type 56 anyway!

[@FabianMacGintyONeill]

One of my favourite details about the game is how they had to use the textures from the level on the guns sometimes because of limited memory, hence the Phantom looking like the ship exterior and the RCP90 looking like the train with wooden furniture

[@sirdiealot53]

This isn’t true at all. You can use all guns on every level

[@FabianMacGintyONeill]

@@sirdiealot53 Nah, I’m not saying you can’t use all guns on every level, but that the game re-uses textures from levels for some of its guns, and those textures tend to be similar to the level that you first see that specific gun in. To quote IMFDB: “One sacrifice made by the game due to the N64's poor texture buffer memory is that weapons used by enemies in a particular level tend to "inherit" textures used in the level in question; this means many weapons end up made from clearly incorrect materials, such as the all-black P90 ending up with white and brown wood textures”

[@jdflasky1969]

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. 17:35 I believe this was an oversight: 50 in hexadecimal (base 16) is 80 in decimal (base 10).

I think the reason Bond holds every weapon one-handed in this game is because every weapon in the game can actually be dual-wielded. And I think the devs at Rare were trying to make that feature possible within the game engine's technical limitations.

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.

We played the heck out of this back in the day and I still have it, along with mt N64 and of course Perfect Dark! Great 4 player head to head gaming!

[@rashaudwatkins8175]

Man I felt 16 years younger watching it! I just know that I totally annoyed my parents wanting Goldeneye 007!

[@Dionach]

You could even say you felt 26 years younger 😂 (we're getting old)

[@rashaudwatkins8175]

@@Dionach yup

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

I like that the first appearance of the P90 in a game made the effort to include its piercing effect. On top of that, the "Silver PP7" is functionally a Five-seveN, being a pistol with the same effect.

[@TheMightyKinkle]

The first person model of the RC-P90 at 16:49 always reminded me of a Killer Whale as a kid 😂😂

[@tom_606HQ]

As most people in the comments pointed out - 10/10 opening!

[@horrorfanandy4647]

That intro was brilliant! Would have loved to see Jonathan do a proper gunbarrel, but that was good enough on its own!

[@zacharysien5245]

If you guys end up doing Perfect Dark as well at some point, I will squee in delight.

[@wefinishthisnow3883]

I wonder what he has to say about the XR Farsight. The single most OP weapon in any FPS.

[@PyreEntei]

The hours I spent in this game, I smiled when this popped up in my suggestions! Nice work on the vid!

[@RenegadePandaZ]

Literally the first time anyone has said anything positive about the Klobb.

[@jonathanferguson1211]

I'd forgotten how much everyone hated it to be honest. I don't remember hating it although I remember it being relatively weak (which sort of matches the real gun).

[@tenoclockClay]

that intro was gold.. keep up the good work!

[@martincann5052]

Now THIS takes me back....personally speaking, I always had a soft spot for the Magnum, especially since it could shoot through walls, doors and other scenery. And the grenade launcher always made me think of the one featured in 'Predator', which is probably why Jonathan had trouble identifying it, since apparently that launcher was cobbled together specifically for that film. Still, hits me in the soft spot!

[@classycasual3910]

Loved the intro and love this series so much. Best series on this channel!!!

[@LightsJusticeZ]

The Wii introduced a good handful of games where you aim on screen while moving around with the joystick, I think it's more immersive than using 2 joysticks. They even had mods like for Half-Life 2 where you could use the Wiimote to also move the aim around the screen and had Freeman's arm and gun look in that direction - really neat stuff!

[@ryanbacon4070]

What does that have to do with anything about this video…

[@Miigsss]

@@ryanbacon4070 someone didn't watch the whole thing

[@joshuahadams]

I had a Cabela’s Wii game that came with a plastic stock to put your remote and nunchuck in and just use it like you would a real long gun.

[@breakatmo]

There are a lot of Switch and PlayStation games where you can aim with both the stick and the gyro, and its incredible. Needs to be in everything.

[@daegnaxqelil2733]

would be nice an HL episode when Jonathan make the comparisons between the original guns with their models and anims and then their revamped versions seen in Black mesa source and MMod

[@urbanshadow777]

Only British 90s kids will understand. "If you like a lot of chocolate on your biscuit join a klobb"

Interesting point Jonathan brought up about the P90: Which gun appeared in which game for the first time would be an interesting topic a for a video (-series?)

[@happilyham6769]

The soundtrack and sound effects of that game are ingrained in my memory. Takes me right back.

[@TheEDFLegacy]

Finally! I've been waiting for this for a _long_ time. Now we need Perfect Dark next, because of course we do. XD Mainly because of two guns in particular: The Cyclone (because of its mag reload is REALLY unique), and the Super Dragon (a mag-loaded under-barrel grenade launcher). Both are things I've yet to see IRL but makes a _ton_ of sense if it did.

[@IAmOnFyre]

The operational briefcase does show up in Perfect Dark as a turret type thing, I was kind of expecting him to take a tangent into Rare's other N64 shooter

[@MapleShrimp]

The Laptop Gun! A classic.

[@SamuraiPixelCats]

If you want to see some impressive reload animations on old hardware you should check out the guns in Perfect Dark on N64

[@tackytrooper]

Perfect Dark was ahead of its time in so many ways.

[@murrethmedia]

The Klobb was always my favorite gun in Goldeneye. I love how it looks, I love how it sounds, I love the dual wielding, and I REALLY love how I can shoot someone 50 times before they finally go down with it. It's so hilarious. Now I watch this video and find out it's based on the Scorpion, which is one of my favorite IRL guns.

[@nthgth]

Yeah I love all those grunts they do for every shot you land lol. I also never disliked the Klobb

[@Dikucow]

Perfect dark would be cool too! A bit low def, but the guns all have really interesting firemodes

[@daphats56]

They could review the XBLA version which I has higher res models

[@cpl.barbarusc4814]

Perfect timing, now you got to see the Perfect Dark and Zero weapons, those are pretty much look more detailed and I would love to see the reaction to the Laptop gun.

[@0xA9F]

Loadout episode about gun sound design when? Might be fun to dive into this

[@TrancemasterOnyx]

Been waiting for this episode since this series start, now we need one for 007 Nightfire as well :)

[@Seydaschu]

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.

[@OniGanon]

That's why you switch to Solitaire controls, where the C buttons act as move/strafe and the stick was turn/look. Nobody got time to aim with R.

[@FXD609]

Wait, where's the D44? That one was my favorite gun in the game as a kid 😁

[@Austere4]

I scrolled like 100 posts to find this one and know I wasn't the only one who noticed it missing

[@Dashzer0]

It's in the first level! Tt33 or something like that I expect

[@ricoaioa]

You know when you don't know you need something until the moment you get it? THAT OPENING 🤩

Okay that intro was perfect! Also Johnathan's shirt is awesome as always

[@ItsMorganVega]

Going forth with the spy theme, would love to see Jonathan review No One Lives Forever series guns.

[@toaolisi761]

Well, now I want Jonathan to look at the guns from Perfect Dark. They got reloads in that game.

[@foraqualia]

Goldeneye and Jonathan analysis combine for an amazing video!

[@cityscape17]

Gotta say, I love his shirt. I am a huge Aliens fan :)

[@Xeranxies]

Totally need to look at the guns in Perfect Dark next. I'm curious to see what insight he'd have on those.

[@Rossen42]

I really want to see Jonathan break down the guns from The Order 1886

[@BauthorFowler]

Why would you ever force him to play The Order: 1886?

[@snakeplisskinable]

Awesome stuff. Love the little details like the origin of the pew sound recording!

[@screwthenet]

Takes me back to all the game nights with friends in the 1990THIS WAS A GREAT VID! Many thanks and be well ^~^

[@metalofevil]

Loved this take on the classic weapons. Shame we missed the DDff Dostovei. Always wanted to know what it was based on

[@eoinkenny3188]

It was based on the Tokarev pistol

[@AE1OU]

Please Jonathan, made a video on *METAL GEAR SOLID 3* weapons. So many weapons in MGS3 to react and comment on like the Patriot's infinite ammo magazine, the EZ tranq gun, Snake's customized officer M1911A1, Snake whittling the pistol grip to use a knife for CQC, Ocelot's SAA juggling skills, The End's paratrooper tranquilizer Mosin Nagant, the Davey Crockett recoil-less nuclear launcher and Eva's chinese mauser clone. There are so many more other interesting trivias and weapons in MGS3 so please gamespot and Johnathan make a video for the game.

[@nekokonata]

So we got a great insight into your teenage years, as well as a Goldeneye game guns guide. Perfect. 😊

Can you cover Perfect Dark next? It's a really fun game and huge improvement in many ways to Golden Eye!

Forgot just how many guns Golden Eye actually had in it!

[@procow2274]

If you use the all weapons cheat you can find some that don't appear anywhere else in game

Even better was this was before games were super concerned with everything being "realistic" and you could just walk around with an arsenal in your pockets.

[@raulhernandez1122]

Hey everyone, since Jonathan reviewed the guns from GoldenEye, do you think it'd be worth to review the guns from the Turok games? Especially from Seeds of Evil, since they have the most detailed models. I'd love to see how he reacts to the Cerebral Bore too. :P

[@ryanbacon4070]

No yeah, completely related to this game and the video. What is this comment man?

[@JustABaptistApoligist]

His reaction to Warframe guns would be hilarious.

[@TheRealMycanthrope]

I have waited so long for this video

[@frenchy1138]

Apparently (and I recommend Errant Signal's video on the history of the game) Goldeneye started life as a rail shooter before it became an FPS, and the independent aiming Jonathan mentions toward the end is an artefact of that origin. Great video as always - I'd forgotten half these guns were even in the game. (Though I do remember that the RCP90 was *the* gun to go for in multiplayer matches if you wanted to absolutely dominate)

[@legoshi3339]

That intro!
