Do you need a beefy PC to play PD or GE on? What's the lowest? The laptop I have at home isn't very good, same with my 11 year old Mac pro. I'd love to play both games again, but I doubt I can yet.

You used to need a very beefy PC to play GE/PD with any semblance of accuracy, but newer video plugins like GlideN64 have largely bypassed these bottlenecks. That said, a mediocre laptop and 11 year old Mac...not sounding super promising. You could try emulating them at a low resolution and with various settings turned off (GlideN64 has tooltips explaining which settings require more juice).

The Kins posted:...huh? GlideN64 runs in high resolution just fine. Anyway, I tried the latest dev builds of PJ64 & GlideN64, and same thing as always - no matter what I set the internal resolution to, it's fixed at native. Here's a 3 year old post talking about how that's hardcoded. So, if you are in fact using GlideN64...how on earth does that screenshot look like that? I know there's an "HD" version that doubles the native res, but that shot is waaaay above that.

That link is talking about RetroPi, which runs on a Raspberry Pi, which isn't the most powerful machine on Earth, so there's that. Dunno what to say, really. Here're my graphics settings, but they're roughly the same as default.

^ K, I did process of elimination on my settings, and found out that "render N64 frame buffer to output" was causing the resolution problem (as well as a shuddering problem on newer GlideN64 builds). Problem is this reduces the accuracy a bit. For example, looking at the beginning of Majora's Mask, the dithering coverage is different, making the image look a bit too clean. GlideN64 doesn't seem to like higher resolutions anyways. Rendering above native causes the text on the sides of PD's save file menu to bug out.

Oh yeah, Rainbow Six Vegas had a pretty solid facemap using the Xbox 360's camera. I guess that's when the mass shootings started again. Thanks a lot, Ubisoft.

One of the Tony Hawk games (Underground?) had some sort of work-around for mapping your face onto the character. It was surprisingly decent, all things considered.

I think it was Tony Hawk or another sports game where you uploaded a file to a website and then they sent you some sort of numerical code. In retrospect, kinda creepy.

Nintendo's gotten flak over being a roadblock to GE getting ported, but given their involvement in development, I think they kind of have a right to call the shots: https://www.timeextension.com/features/the-making-of-goldeneye-007-39-facts-you-probably-didnt-know-about-the-fps-classic quote:“I think sometimes the whole team was cross by some of Nintendo’s feedback, but I tend to think they know what they’re doing,” said Hollis during his Cambridge panel. “I think Nintendo added a lot with the feedback they gave us.” quote:The game was such a hit with Nintendo’s testers that they were clamouring to do overtime in order to play the game. This was Hollis’ “first inkling” that the game might actually be well received. Lots of other little development stories at the link.

The only reason it got kiboshed was because Nintendo of Japan didn't want to do business with Microsoft.

It's also not just Nintendo from what I remember. With all of the likenesses and copyrighted bond stuff the game was a veritable land mine of legal rights even when you ignore the video game side of the mess.

With all of the likenesses and copyrighted bond stuff the game was a veritable land mine of legal rights even when you ignore the video game side of the mess. That's the thing--the port wasn't going to have the "all Bonds" code or anything, it was just an HD version for the Xbox 360. Activision owned the Bond game rights at the time. Nintendo owned the publishing rights to GoldenEye 007, because it was made as a second-party game. Microsoft owned the code, because they owned Rare. Even EON had to get involved as the licensor of all things Bond. Lawyers did a masterwork of getting everyone on the same page, agreeing to financial takes, and the game was literally ready to launch outside of some bug testing (someone from Rare at the time estimated the 360 version was 95 percent complete and just needed a little more time in QA). Then Nintendo of Japan dropped the stink bomb about doing a formal deal with Microsoft, and the entire thing died. Edit: And now we're just getting a lovely upscale of the original N64 game.

Seeing alot of internet chatter about these re-releases and how they're basically just a 1:1 emulation reminded me that the leaked 360 remaster exists, so I booted it up again. What a pity this was never released. This was everything what a modern remaster should be. Upressed resolution and textures, and very similar models that keep the same aesthetic, but literally identical gameplay wise, with a button to switch to 'old' graphics to remind you of what's actually changed.

I've been having a good enough time with the XBox version. What I have learned is that I never tackled most of this game on anything other than Agent difficulty back in the day, and it's very different to play on a system where the hardware/controller isn't fighting against the player the whole time.

Goons, I was doing Train on Agent and even then, lasering off the bolts or whatever on the escape hatch almost didn't happen. I was down to the last one, I had 8 'units' left in my watch (out of 300), and the very last shot is what got it cleared. gently caress the aiming in this release.

I'm pretty terrible at getting emulators to run properly. RetroArch might as well be a foreign language. The Goldeneye XBLA remaster is super, super easy to get working. Nearly plug and play. don't let that be a barrier.

I have so Many good memories of Perfect Dark, especially multiplayer with my best friend. One of the things we would do all the time is camp in the area 52 building with shuttered door/windows with the slayer and send rockets out into the world to blow sims up, we would always end up getting venge sim and laughing/scrambling to defend the door when he came knocking. Also how he was specified as the white suit guy, I had another friend who called him "Dahmer" and would be yelling "Dahmer is coming to get me!!!" We would also do poo poo like design matches where everybody was an alien/etc Looking back its amazing how loaded out and fun that game is, in our adulthood we hooked it up again, would play all night just like giddy kids. That game is FUN

It's just ridiculous how little modern FPSes have taken from PD's multiplayer. It feels like the same general feature set from Halo 2 has been copied over and over with maybe some fancy XP systems tacked on.

too true, XIII on the gamecube did to some extent, maybe crossover of developers? Haha having a sim on your team too was a weird experience, cause it came across like they were working against you behind the scenes. So many times I caught my sim in a room with another one and they werent shooting each other. Another classic happening was an unarmed sim passing you by, slapping the poo poo out of you and then running backwards into another room. looking at you like "what you gonna do bitch?", loving bastards

What was the default for the Judgesim? Until I read your post, I would have said that THAT was the blonde guy who's name I'm forgetting, not Vengesim. I can never forget that Carrington was the Turtlesim and the red overall Pelagic guard was the Fistsim.

Setting up scenarios was my favorite part and why I'm more likely to load up Perfect Dark than any FPS that came after. Zombies was a bunch of plainclothes fist sims in the car park with limited weapons, they'd swarm and dizzy you pretty quick. That turned into Mummys in the temple which was fun once we realized fist sims could use the secondary option on the wrist laser and would basically run around with a 10 foot lightsaber. Hostage situation became the one we'd play once the others became too easy/predictable where you'd put a bunch of peace sims on your team and have to protect them from one dark sim or whatever. In fact, saddling your friends who were hands down better than you at the game(the kids who owned it or just had more free time to practice) with a meat sim or 2 was a great way to balance out a multi player game. It could get boring always playing against your friends when there was an obvious outcome, I still lament the fact that modern games don't have the same customization.

Anyone else play Matrix, which was shotguns, auto slowdown, in The Grid? That level had to have been inspired by the movie.

Slowmo shotguns were a ton of fun for the double blast and going for headshots. Slowmo with the crossbow shooting the knockout bolts or the tranc gun was trippy as gently caress once you got hit a few times and everything got blurry.

I feel like judgesim was a trenchcoat guy on default, but I could be off. Peacesim was always a funny one, drat scientist who explodes with weapons like Sonic with rings when he dies. Which leads to another ppint that having disarm was a really amazing and infuriating aspect of the multiplayer, getting your gun taken and being dizzy to boot. The Grid was absolutely Matrixlike. I think my all time faves were Area 52 and the Villa. From the first page I read one of the interviews with the director (funny guy, total mood board energy) and he was saying they started with architectural spaces and then wrote the story to tie those environments together. It makes sense the multiplayer maps would turn out good. These turn of the millenium games like PD, Deus ex, bungi west's Oni all had a cool vibe.
