DAVID DOAK Interview (The Making of GoldenEye 007)

[@justinm6392]

Thank you man for organizing and executing all of these interviews - so interesting, Dr. Doak is so cool - thank you guys for this!

[@Tr3nchJDemonie]

Couldn't agree more.

[@onaretrotip]

It really was my pleasure! Yes, he's such a nice, down-to-Earth guy.

[@NP-gb5su]

What a great interview and interviewer, you literally never interupt him, and let him develop all his thoughts, it’s so refreshing to watch… good job

[@onaretrotip]

Ah, thank you so much. I'm very inexperienced with interviewing people, but it always bugs me when the interviewer talks too much and makes it about them. I find letting them talk unhindered gets the best out of them, so often I just smile and nod and let them run with it. Really appreciate your comment.

[@CitricPilot]

I can't explain exactly why these videos mean so much, but they do. Please keep doing your thing. There are so many more insights and stories about these moments in time that might otherwise be lost forever.

[@NitrosS]

we love this game man

[@sparkshadowtigergaming5602]

Bond: Time To leave Dr. Doak Dr. Doak: You'll need this decoder to get to the bottling room. Good luck 007

[@onaretrotip]

Classic.

[@Sterlin18]

Interestingly enough we still rendezvous with Doak however its a pause less speed run now as theres a shooting lure (meaning we dont even require the door decoder on SA/OOA settings to opening the bottle room door ) However you still have to complete the objective by rendezvous with him...

[@Harp00nX]

I don't know why people bang on about this game's controls. Even now they are perfectly fine for this game, they wouldn't cut it for today's online fps games that is probably true but in this game there is nothing wrong with them.

[@onaretrotip]

Totally agree. I've been playing it loads recently, and I think they're still great.

[@ChrisHollandGuitar]

@@onaretrotip I use 1.2 control style “Solitaire” - which employs the C buttons to move, and the analog stick to look. It's very comfortable. Give it a shot if you've never tried it. I play “keyboard style” with my right hand - index finger on C left, middle on C up, ring on C right, and my thumb switching off between A, B, and C down.

[@ebookjapan8054]

The dual controller scheme was pretty forward thinking, not even PS1 dualshock FPS games used both sticks until the very end (Alien: Resurrection)

[@andreasorourke4252]

Dude at the end of the interview you should have said "time to leave Dr. Doak"

[@onaretrotip]

Damn it.

[@JSSTyger]

Did he keep the door the decoder he had while working at the gas plant?

[@onaretrotip]

😂

[@Toumasu]

i loved his appearance in Bringing Back GoldenEye :D great interviews man

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks!

[@davidretrogamesplayedbadly3533]

I find it interesting that all these wonderful creators of such a classic game all started gaming on the mighty zx spectrum 😍. Another really interesting interview Pete. I totally agree about playability, for me that's the most important part of a game, probably why I don't play on modern systems.

[@onaretrotip]

Yes, playability is king mate!

[@yourcommander3412]

Spent an endless amount of time playing goldeneye as a kid.

[@onaretrotip]

Ditto!

[@kryyptyyk]

Awesome! He also just recently did an interview with Victor Lucas on The Electric Playground, definitely check that out as well!

[@onaretrotip]

👍

[@robgillies2576]

Loved this! Did the Goldeneye tournament he mentions ever happen?

[@onaretrotip]

There was a GoldenEye tournament in the UK recently, but I'm not sure the team ever played. I did go to a talk with David Doak, Martin Hollis, and Brett Jones a couple of years ago, where we all played GoldenEye afterwards. I got to play Martin Hollis briefly.

[@mikec.8604]

46:15 i always put that thing on the antenna 😂

[@onaretrotip]

😂

[@tammymayeaux328]

Awesome video! Now I gotta pull out the 64 and play some goldeneye and maybe a little perfect dark afterwards!

[@onaretrotip]

Thank you. Oh hell yes!

[@therealbearminator]

The facility you found him in looks nothing like the one i usually find him in… … Insert comment about the fantastic job you did putting all of this together! …

[@onaretrotip]

Yeah, strange that! Thank you very much.

[@RawHunterX]

Amazing job as always. Id love to see if u can get some interviews from the A Team at the time, doing Dreams. I reckon most are at Playtonic atm.

[@onaretrotip]

Thanks!

[@thefurthestmanfromhome1148]

Been eagerly awaiting this one 😍 Ever since I read this nonsense from Andrew, now Jane Whittaker, claiming his Jaguar AVP A. I routines found their way into N64 Goldeneye : Pocket : What did you do exactly on Goldeneye ? Pocket : What did you do exactly on Goldeneye ? AW : A lot of the AI routines from AvP found their way there, and of course I was heavily involved creatively, as my job was to manage exact how James Bond was used in games. Whittaker has since amended the claim to never being directly involved with RARE..

[@onaretrotip]

LOL
