This was made when the average age of a gamer was significantly younger than it is now.

What's that music from?! It's from some crappy game that I played way back when.. It's on the tip of my mind! Something to do with.. I don't know. It's familiar.

lol is this documentary from the 90's? ^^

It is obviously made in the mid-2000's. It must be very new. Why else would they mention Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn and PlayStation, and show gameplay footage from Super Mario World and Zelda for the SNES?

At the time this video was produced there had already been a great deal of television produced talking about the "benefits" of gaming. This video was designed to be critical. Insert Coin has no obligation to be "objective" and does not seek to be. The main purpose is to encourage gamers to think critically about video games without dismissing the importance of video games in their lives. Keep the comments coming. Thanks.

Ultimately, Goldeneye didn't age well. I wasn't very impressed with it when it first came out, 'cause I thought (and still think) Sean Connery was the better 007.

Coming back to it, on the other hand, well, let's just say it isn't pretty. I appreciate it's genre-setting side-scroller-ness and early damage modelling, but when having to choose between Goldeneye or FEAR, it's like comparing a canoe and a battleship.

FIFZoidberg9000 3 years ago

All too true. Goldeneye was the one to make FPSs work on console, but when you go back to it, you have awkward single-joystick control, laughable death animations, the longest game-over screen I've ever seen, blocky characters, blurry graphics, and manual aim. The auto aim tracks where the person is, not where he's going, so hitting a moving target is nigh impossible. I really don't want to go back to that ever again. Note to everyone: Blind fanboyism will get you nowhere.

Yeah it was fun back then, but it has not aged well at all. My standards have been raised.

MrSevenLung 3 years ago

You misunderstood. "That's not no say that those games were bad...". Those games were great and all, but going back to, say, Goldeneye, you can hardly see and especially control, using only one analog stick. I am aware that comparing modern games to games ten years old isn't exactly "fair", it's just that the difference is so noticable that it's hard to go back.

grhangar 3 years ago

Then u obviously werent there when goldeneye and all the other stuff came out. Back then there was nothing like it. Goldeneye was completely one of its kind. and we learned to love playing it on the N64. If in Pop goldeneye in on my n64 today its like im 7 years old again. Theres NOTHING like the old days! And the newer games we learn to love today will feel the same way if go 15 years ahead from now.

First, If I were your english teacher, I'd flunk your arse for that pathetic little rant. Proofreading really helps. Really.

Second, it is egotistical and idiotic to simply assume that I was not there for it; just how much fact-checking did you do before you wrote this? This may be acceptable research for televised news media, but not for decent rebuttal-writing. And there is nothing like the old days, which is good. I don't want to go back to a controller with three handles.

Oh come on man I dont even know you! Bringing down hell on me because you dont like my writing. wtf? You're ofcourse intitled to your opinion and I cant say otherwise. But for those idiotic statements you just did you deserve a slap in the face!

johanneszero1990 3 years ago

No, you didn't understand what I said. At the time of their release, yes, these games were top-notch, but they did not age well. Other games, such as Star Fox, Donkey Kong Country, Metroid, and F-Zero are still very fun and have stood the test of time. Many old PC games also fare very well and may even have strong online communities. However, many games on the N64 are hard to go back to and play because of the controller and game design. They were great. Were.

grhangar 3 years ago

i think im actually getting your point a little. I was never too happy with the sloppy controller for the N64 either. but it still takes you back to the younger times

johanneszero1990 3 years ago

Yeah, it does bring back memories, especially seeing the Rare logo...

But I tried to play it and experienced the aforementioned problems. Then Perfect Dark had terrible lag. I would have liked to see a remake of it, but they shoved us PD:Zero instead. Chumps.

grhangar 3 years ago

Yeah PD zero was a huge dissapointment! and yes, a remake would have been awsome. Also if they did the same thing to many other games...

johanneszero1990 3 years ago

Like Star Fox 64. It was the last good one released and that was back in '99. With a remake, they could actually create a sensible plot. For example, who the hell are Bill and Kat and what's with this "bio-weapon"? Some backstory would be nice. Instead of this, we have received SF games with on-foot levels. Star Wars Rogue Squadron tried that and FAILED. It's only logical for Nintendo to do the same.

Called nostalgia, not quality. I agree with grhangar.
