thats another question, now that nintendo and microsoft are teaming up for whatever the xbox live streaming games on switch thing is, they could work out the problems they had with splitting money for the goldeneye remaster that killed the projected originally! just have to pay for the rights of course but im sure theyd make money off it

no one thought that. you can see the full gun in the pause menu and also the soldiers shooting you are clearly carrying rifles.

As a kid I was always fascinated by all those random doors to nowhere. I liked to imagine what cool secrets or new hidden guns could be found behind those locked doors that I felt HAD to have a key somewhere.

I also wanted to teleport to whatever mystical land the scientist survivors faded out to when they ran for the exit :spergin:

A bond gadget carried by every soldier in a Russian chemical facility :allears: I miss being this innocently naive. I agree about the doors to nowhere stuff, so many gaming magazines would have little articles like THE SECRET ROOM NO ONE KNEW ABOUT - EXPOSED!!! And it would be like 'complete the game in one sitting on 00 Agent without failing any objectives, within 15 minutes, and James 'Goldeneye' Bond will appear in a cutscene to tell you how to open the door. If you don't do any of this right you need to buy a new copy of the game and start again.'

With that said, I never unlocked the Aztec level with Baron Samedi the whole time I owned that game, I seem to remember you had to complete all missions on 00 Agent and it would just unlock autmatically but it never did.

All missions on secret agent was aztec, 00 agent is Egypt with Samedi

If you did that you should have unlocked it so idk

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was basically make sure you did all levels on the hardest difficulty successfully through, all objectives.

Exploration is ill-advised.
I can't believe Goldeneye is still if not unique, among very few games in that it actually has difficulty changes besides 'Numbers go up' in adding more objectives, so that the easier difficulties are simple enough to get the hang of a mission and enjoy yourself while higher ones involve putting all that to the test.

Not entirly unique, Perfect Dark and Timesplitters also had that mission structure :v:

Yeah, that’s something I wish would come back but it’s so expensive to make content now that a lot of devs don’t want to spend time and money making stuff that not that many players will see. Which is too bad, it added so much replay value. Perfect Dark did it really well.

Also, did anyone else find all the cheese in perfect dark? There was one piece per level, likely as part of a planned way to unlock cheat codes.

The weird thing is that it actually looks MORE round than the gun it's based on. Were cylinders easier to render?

I remember people thought the back of the sniper rifle (which replaced the karate chop/slap for melee) looked like a paintbrush.

Somewhere in storage I still got some of my N64 tips and tricks/ secret code books that had many of the MortalKombatTrilogy moves & finisher button combos included. It just feels better all around than scrolling a phone or a youtube clip :allears:

My cousin had both an N64 Gameshark and a Gameshark book that had more codes in it that you could add for more recently released games

being able to walk through doors/not be hit by bullets/move extra fast is what got me all the cheats :pcgaming:

I had those, but a bunch would make the game poo poo its pants and glitch out at best, hard lock at worst, if you used the wrong cheat combinations.

Jet Force Gemini was fun, but it took 13 years to amass the bears. Can’t speak for the multiplayer, no friends in the zip code.

Guides are useful for games like Pokemon which have too much information that can’t be referred to on the cart, or games like Zelda for their item location appendices.

I believe a developer from Rare, back in the day, recently said that there's still something missing.

BUT! The more I think about this, the more I'm thinking that I'm confusing what I said for another game. Maybe Fez? I do recall a dev of a game that people were all obsessed over stating something like "there are still uncovered secrets in the game to this day."

Does anyone know what I'm probably referring to?

It could be true. There was a debug mode for SimCity on SNES that was unlocked by a long button combination and nobody knew about it until- 2009 or so? when they put a machine to sniff out any previously unknown content

https://tcrf.net/SimCity_(SNES)#Debug_Menu It got found a couple years back because someone bought a random loose cart online that had the cheat activated and with those text strings people were able to figure out the code

https://tcrf.net/Shadowrun_(SNES)#Debug_Room There was also this that went undiscovered until recently too
