I've just been wondering about Goldeneye for a while now. I mostly played the single player when I was 17 to 18 years old, really enjoyed the game in those days.

 

But I hardly played the mutiplayer. Well, not really. We used to go to our friends house and play for a couple of hours. Ofcourse we were all enchanted with how well the multiplayer really kept us emersed into the game.

 

My questions is: Has the Goldeneye 007 mutiplayer been surpased these days? I did a little bit of reasearch over the net and found that games these days have way more mutiplayer levels, goldeneye just has 4 or 5 levels, most of them not very well made.

 

Well thanks for reading and thanks for sharing any thoughts on the multiplayer of Goldeneye of N64 and how it holds up with today's games.

I think Halo surpassed it and other games have surpassed Halo since then. Also with Halo you didn't have to worry about one of your friends picking Oddjob.

I always loved the simplicity of 007, and have wondered why they never brought it back. Some of the more recent Bond games (and by recent, I'm talking about on the PS2/Gamecube/Xbox) did a great job with maps and weapon variety. Doesn't really make sense to me that the franchise has floundered so badly this generation.

I played PC games back in those days.. when I played it at friends places the controls were always so clunky. Yes, fun.. but soo clunky. Thankfully controllers evolved in a huge way since then.

My thoughts exactly. I cannot go back to those N64 controllers with all the good controllers available today.

Ever seen the new Bond Actor? He was to Bond what EA and the more recent Call of Duty games were to gaming.

Goldeneye 007 was fantastic in its heyday.  Even afterwards it was pretty good, but it has aged pretty badly.  But a lot of shooters have, at least the ones that haven't been upkept over the years.  But between my best friend and two cousins at the time we spent way too many hours playing that game.  It was insane.

And yes, to hell with Oddjob.  And whoever had the golden gun.

Goldeneye N64 is over 15 years old and part of a genre that has continuously updated and redefined itself since then. Nowadays, even the most average of multiplayer shooters is much more fluid and varied than Goldeneye's multiplayer. Even its Wii remake is stronger from a purely objective standpoint.

Goldeneye 64 was da sh*t back in the day, my friends and I would play that and Perfect Dark all the time.

Sadly the game hasn't aged well.

I tried playing the game again recently. Couldn't play it. I played that and Perfect Dark all the time on the 64. But it's aged horribly. Thankfully the original Perfect Dark is available on the 360 as a download and has been fixed up. I can finally enjoy it again. I would love to see Goldeneye get the same treatment.

It's still pretty fun to play against friends occasionally. That's more than I can say for most multiplayer games released today (like CoD).
