HI all, i was wondering what the current world record is for FACILITY on AGENT 00 difficulty? played on a xbox 360, im able to reach 1:10 seconds i saw somewhere online that the world record is 49 seconds is this accurate?

If so, on what level?

As it's an older game I understand that it's more difficult to understand the objectives. However on the second one, i breeze through until I get to the tank room. I meet with the agent then a swarm of soldiers come with a general. Even if I blow up the boilers nothing seems to happen. What do i do?

Take a look. I think he looks pretty cool honestly.

You can even see Trevelyan in the background of the St. Petersburg render (4th image).

Fine some more here!

got a new oled the other day, goldeneye looks fucking amazing on it. and sounds so good through the sound bar 🤪 only have like 30 mins to play before work today but fuck it.

Time for some runs 🤙

I’m losing my mind.

We busted out the N64 to play Golden Eye on multiplayer and I eventually chose Oddjob so I could use the hat throw as a weapon.

The 3 of us have it burned in our brain that it was possible on multiplayer to throw Oddjob’s hat, but we can’t figure it out / can’t confirm that this is possible.

Is this a “Mandela Effect” or something where it is possible in other 007 games, just not Golden Eye?

Hi all - I appreciate all of the engagement and feedback on my original post - since then, I changed the graphics backend over to WebGPU in order to try and make sure that cross platform gameplay is more robust. This opened up a new possibility, which is making the entire native port play in browser, without having to install. A demo of the in browser game is here: https://akratch.github.io/mgb64/

All you need to do is link your own ROM file, which stays completely internal to your browser, unpacks the assets, and loads them up into the native port + rendering engine to play in browser with keyboard and mouse.

I've also been working on the pre-built versions of the game as well, but I haven't released the cut-over to WebGPU backend on those yet. The repo is still here: https://github.com/akratch/mgb64

I'm just having fun with this project, so there are definitely still bugs to work out, please feel free to open github issues or check out the code directly as well.

I don't know if this is valid for this sub reddit but I want it to be visit-able (in case I lose all of my accounts for any reason) in the name of John Wiggler.

I put halflife and roblox sfx over the original battle and I quite like how it turned out. I hadn't put music over most of it, for a few sfx are drowned out.

DON'T DOWNLOAD IT MAN, 104 MEGABYTES of bean and brosnan.

I’m using the recomp, extracted it using 7zip and put all of the assets extracted using Velocity from the long game file. Launched it on the steam deck after transferring it from my burner pc and it just goes to black screen. Please can someone help me..?

I came across a video of goldeneye 64 and now it’s all I see. It made me remember how much I played this game as a kid, and now I must play this game once again

What is the easiest/ best way to play the original?

Buy an old Nintendo 64 and the game?

Switch?

Xbox?

I pretty illiterate when it comes to gaming systems so any advice would be appreciated.

(Almost. Lack of a proper N64 controller for authentic experience)

Apologies if this has been asked before but I'm trying to unlock a variety of cheat options I used to be able to unlock as a kid. Anyone had video footage of someone unlocking these cheats on switch? Feels impossible!

One thing I always liked about the game was the areas which a lot of effort was put into for the game but are barely used, such as the Surface observatory, the Dam dockside, the Depot warehouses etc. They made the world feel more interesting and lived in. Despite playing the game on and off casually since the 90’s, I recently came across two areas which I had never seen before, one being the outdoor courtyard in the Archives level and the other being the two extra rooms above the Facility bottling room. There’s nothing in those areas but it was a bit surreal suddenly finding a new area in a game I’ve been playing for nearly 30 years. I’m interested if any other players have had this experience?

Playing train level at the moment. Get to the end when Natalya has to enter the code. I get the "he's in Cuba!", but she never progresses to actually cracking the code. The timer runs out and the train blows up. I've killed Ourumov AND Onatopp and still nothing. Is there some dialogue I am supposed to trigger that I'm not doing?

GoldenEye 007 on the Nintendo 64 wasn't just a game; it was an accidental revolution built in a converted cow shed by a team of rookies who went rogue against management.

In Part One of our comprehensive 14-part history of James Bond video games, we conduct a detailed technical autopsy on the N64's most defining shooter. We dismantle the improbable development cycle at Rare Ltd under Martin Hollis, dissect how the team subverted the "licensed game curse," and pivot from an SNES on-rails prototype to a full 3D masterpiece.

We break down the technical magic required to make GoldenEye run: the 4KB texture cache nightmare, the brilliant use of distance fog (frustum culling), and why speedrunners still "look down" to optimize frame rates.

Furthermore, we settle the ultimate 90s debate: was picking Oddjob cheating? (Spoiler: The developers confirmed it). We analyze the unauthorized development of the splitscreen multiplayer mode, the pioneering motion capture work, and the birth of the "hitbox economy" on consoles.

Finally, we uncover the heartbreaking story of the 99% finished 2008 XBLA Remaster that was permanently buried in a digital vault by corporate licensing gridlock.
