Authors Comments: 007 gave me some trouble this week but its still great to get all the Rare classics out there. Its always a blast revisiting the most influential titles from my childhood and having something new to show the gaming community.
And if you've been keeping a close eye on my series. You may have noticed this episode came out rather early huh? We're finally seeing the impact that dedicating full time to youtube is having. Whether it be getting a hefty episode like Skyward Sword out in less than 2 weeks or producing shorter episodes like this in less than 1 week. And honestly, I couldve released Skyward Sword in a week if i was willing to compete with the Nintendo Switch presentation.
Anyways back to Goldeneye. Did any body else have made up rules for the multiplayer in this game? I rememember making up a game mode called "The Incredible OddGlop" Which involved a 3 on 1 team against oddjob who gets the golden gun and gets to be on his knees. While the other three players hold up in the bathroom with automatics, trying to kill oddjob before he kills everyone else. It was a ton of fun

[@2Cerealbox]

I find it hilarious that GoldenEye is a game where a disembodied hand takes over Russia.

I always thought the AK looked like a pencil..

[@MyLifeForMicrosoft]

yo same tho. always called that shit the pencil gun lmao. back when kidtendo was good before xbox overtook but i digress.

[@cherylcopes04]

That's the same with what I thought. I even have called it the black pencil gun back in the days.

[@NextGenesis88]

It always reminded me of Duracell batteries.

[@CKru8789]

Black Crayola Colored Pencil

[@kratzlaff308]

It was modeled after the AK-74. Such rifle have a "line" shaped gas vent in the handguard, hence it looks like a pencil. Here's the KF7 in real life: www.avtomats-in-action.com/media3/T2wsightrightquarter.jpg

[@bobmalibaliyahmarley1551]

The reason why the file folders are 3D is because the developement team of GoldenEye didn't have anyone who were experienced in 2D animation, only 3D. In an interview with the GoldenEye team, the 3D artist even stated that, graphics in the game that look 2D, like the bullet count on your screen for instance that looks like a little 2D bullet, is actually a 3D model that has been altered and squished down to where it looked 2D in order to save space.

[@Polydunami]

It seems to me that the developers were aiming for a folder opening style for the file select screen. You would select your document, then it would open up and zoom in to the next menu. That'd be fun to see, would it not?

[@budmeister]

Ah yes, Goldeneye, the game were the computers are packed with explosives.

[@ShortyNSane]

As well as the chairs lol

[@Se7enDsinSGaming]

You know? I never put that together 😆

[@theedwardian]

Don't lie, the fact that everything explodes gives the game a satisfying game-feel and signals to the player that an object is fully "destroyed"

[@ninop.r489]

Big Ice Wasn’t that bad I mean I feel you but at least it’s like banjo and kazooie style gameplay and that’s what people expected from Yookah and Laylee. Any negative detail I have faith they can do better in the future.

[@Se7enDsinSGaming]

Pepperidge farms remembers

[@theedwardian]

Goldeneye 64 was literally created by 3 guys who knew nothing about game design. iirc they first got the rights for the game and improvised literally everything. At first they thought they were making a sidescroller, then they thought it could be a light gun game, then one of them created the splitscreen multiplayer as a joke.

[@Xofttam]

The names Hand, Floating Hand

[@skullclot420]

I need this game back in my life wow playing this as a kid was insane

[@High5Authentic]

Best graphics on the n64 is 007's hand. Lmao.

[@DeadPixel1105]

His hand does look surprisingly good.

[@brandonsteinbach4208]

Goldeneye is what made me fall in love with fps games. Such good memories waking up on a Saturday morning as a kid and playing this game religiously. I'd like to see this guy do a video on Turok if he hasn't already.

[@dan_loeb]

the polygonal complexity and decent texturing of the player hands versus everything else in the game still surprises me to this day. as for the car doors, I'm pretty sure that there's actually seperate groups on them and there's a cut sequence where an npc enters the truck and the door closes on level fly in. last time I found it it was a very broken sequence viewable somewhere in the goldeneye setup editor or other ge/pd mesh viewer.

[@Diego_Aracena_Kovacevic]

The hand driving the tank is Thing from the Adams family.

[@satan2k]

@Shesez: 1:00 : it's not a "layer technique" by the developers, it's because the z-order isn't recalculated for the view according the new camera coordinate you're putting in with the emulator. So it's normal the polygon order is quite not "right". Actually the draw order is still the same as if your point of view was the original one. It's not a bug either, the game wasn't coded to allow the camera to be separated from the "player" coordinates :)

[@ianm344]

Satan 2k Dang

[@SomeSproutFern]

Satan 2k you need Jesus cause you decided to use Satan in your name

[@imagoatbah]

A detail of the z-order calculation of vertices in the model fixed to the camera... sounds like a layer technique to me :p

[@satan2k]

Hmm yes and no... It's not really layers, and "technique" implies they decided it this way but in this case they didn't. They just had no clue people would dissect the game entirely with an emulator. I mean the drawing of the model is pretty much standard from an opengl point of view of this era.

[@imagoatbah]

Fair enough, just splitting hairs over the semantics. The z depths of the vertices could conceivably be referred to as layers of sorts and since they deliberately didn't recalculate them knowing they would never need it, then perhaps their lack of a technique in this case is in itself a technique. So "layer technique" isn't that far off as a vague description. Not ideal terminology, but for a non technical discussion, ehhh why the hell not :)

[@NakedCrook]

6:44 that runway theme sounds depressed

[@xZippy]

Music forgot to take its Xanax.

[@BenCol]

Actually, the N64 controller model on the pause screen can be spun around in game. So the revelation about it being a full model with a Z button and space for the rumble pak slot isn't much of a revelation - you can see the back of the model without need for camera manipulation.

[@Stuffies2022]

I know it’s six years late, but how do you spin it?

[@BenCol]

@@Stuffies2022 If you pause the game and go to the controller settings menu, there's an option called 'controller'. When selected you can then spin the controller model. You can also mess around with the buttons - I think it's meant to be a way of trying out a control scheme before selecting one.

[@Stuffies2022]

Love this channel so much! Haven’t seen this episode in a while, time for a rewatch!!

I hope to see you come back to this one soon. With how big and open a lot of the Goldeneye levels are, I imagine there's a lot more cool shit to see.

[@ScootsNBhistorybehindthegaming]

Another great episode, Shesez! Keep up the amazing work, mate! :)

[@LoveMyZJ]

Yaaaassss thank you for doing a GoldenEye episode! So many hours of my childhood playing this game...and a few minutes of my adulthood when I need to kill time lol

[@hernajb185257able]

A great video as always, even in games that I haven't played I enjoy the content because you have a great personality. So glad I found this Chanel lol

[@thetwinz1431]

You deserve every dollar you get from your videos and patron, when i was younger i was just like you and wondered what was outside some of the levels/menus in games, because of this i am addicted to watching your videos, sometimes more than once lol I'm so glad that your channel is growing and you keep making my week with your videos so please keep these videos coming. If i were to ever get a job (which i will have to very soon) i will make sure to make a patron account and donate to you because you deserve it so much One last thing... I'd love to see a boundary break on Nintendo land lol

[@Zetta_Hakai]

using emulator, and a action replay code, you can get on the dock, then press a key that's binded to the code as you walk into the invisible wall, and it pushes you through, allowing you to walk over to the island, but there is nothing there besides a watch tower that has a inactive turret, and the empty sniper shack. still looks cool up close though. Pretty sure someone else commented all this but if not, there us go. again. You are in my prayers with everything going on with you dude, remember, your life comes first, KZbin comes second. No matter what any of these people say, You do you. Glad you vented to everyone earlier tonight, any therapeutic relief in these situations is good. and for every fuck on here that "doesn't want to hear it", there's 50 of us listening with tears in our eyes mate. so pep up, keep strong, and keep moving on :) we all are here for ya.

[@MERCHIODOS]

He said on a live stream that he had yesturday that he would love to do so, but there's isn't a mod yet to freely move the camera.

[@Halo3machenima]

Could theoretically be possible on ps2. There may be an emulator that could have free-cam.

Man I just got hit by the nostalgia train, Goldeneye 007 is one of my fave games for the N64, I remember this playing a 4 player mode with friends eating pizza and soda on weekends , fantastic episde! :D and I wanna request again if you could possibly do Castlevania 64 please? I wanna see the 3D castle from the begining and a whole lot more of areas in the game, cheers! :)

Hey Shesez! I love your videos man! we get to see so many things we couldn't before. keep up the good work man!

[@TheCurtinator]

Love this series, it's super interesting seeing everything that developers left or purposely put out of bounds. I think Dead Space would make for an interesting mini-series in this! Definitely the first one, at least.

[@1r0zz]

on N64 was easier to make a 3d model than using just bitmap, as a 3d model is lighter than a full res bitmap. also you can repeat a 3d model using the same textures(needing only 1 texture for more models)

You deserve way more views with all the effort you put into these great videos.

[@skacoreification]

please don't stop nintendo games! they are definitely preferred

[@ViewtifulJae]

DOOMYAMA amongst a very small crowd. Just because these guys do more mature games doesn't mean that their Nintendo videos will or should stop. I think that's the problem. Nintendo fanboys are scared they won't see anymore animal crossing if he starts doing god of war. Nintendo Is that popular these days, i'd argue they would get more views branching if here & there to the realm of Xbox & PlayStation and even sega

[@skacoreification]

Potty Snatcher I'm not afraid it will stop lol just voicing my opinion to my good sir Shesez. The fact is I tend to steer more towards Nintendo vids cuz that's where my heart is

[@ViewtifulJae]

DOOMYAMA they've done more Nintendo than I can count on my hand and the amount the have done non-Nintendo could be counted on 1 handS I promise a few non Nintendo vids won't be bad. I find them all interesting even when it's a game I would never play like animal crossing or sumn

[@ViewtifulJae]

DOOMYAMA but I respect that you love Nintendo so much. They were once an amazing company

[@skacoreification]

Potty Snatcher same here, I enjoy them all for the most part. & I think nintendo is on the upswing again finally, I think the switch will be alot bigger than many people think

Can you explore PS2/PSOne games? I'm curious how Spyro/Crash Bandicoot or the God of War/Prince of Persia games are like

[@countengladx7156]

Alex M I'm pretty sure Spyro would be super short because the game renders environments based on where Spyro is in the level so there's only a little bit of rendered world around Spyro and that's it until u fly or run up to stuff if I'm not mistaken

[@thefloridianbadger2594]

If James Bond is just a hand how does the hitbox works than?

[@Professor_Utonium_]

CodeNameZ The code still acknowledges and logs the coordinates of the character for hit detection. Just because it's invisible doesn't mean it's not there in the code. It's the same with games that have invisible platforms or walls.

[@Kazerai]

you dont need a character model to put a hurtbox around something

[@Jotari]

Still. Does make me curious to know how big and what shape the hitbox is. I'm guessing it's pretty person like since they clearly use models in multiplayer.

[@MERCHIODOS]

Imagine your character is an invisable wall on legs.

[@404namenotfound1]

You should really do Perfect Dark, it's got such a ridiculous amount of weird hidden things that it puts Goldeneye to shame.

Awesome and fresh channel, bro! Keep it up. PS: rad beard 👍🏼

[@GrnArrow092]

I remember seeing enemy characters on the island that you can't reach. If you take the sniper rifle and zoom in on the tower, you'll see an enemy soldier wandering around the guard tower. You can even target and kill that soldier if you want.
