To any of the Rare team involved in this game that are reading this, thank you. Thank you so much of hours of entertainment. You're all purely legends.
-
Kids these days will never know how much fun a bunch of friends split screening goldeneye can truly have
-
"There was a pressure to deliver, but not of budget or time. But to deliver a good game first." We need that again today
-
This should be considered the definitive word on the history of GoldenEye. I’ll be rewatching for years to come. Well Done, man!!
-
Young people will never understand how important and how pivotal this game was for defining and shaping first person shooters. This is the GOAT without question. So many hours played with friends on split screen, sleep overs, bets, etc. the memories are engrained in me and many of my longtime friends even 25 years later. This is an amazing piece of work
-
I'm 36. To this day, it is the best FPS in history. The physics, the auto aim, the loud gun sounds, the unique level layouts, the soundtrack, the ruthlessness of those baby blue turrets on the ceiling. Best experience of my life and I wish they'd remaster it in full
-
I cant believe they actually made a movie about this game. What a time to be alive!
-
I still remember walking up to the counter at Toys R Us with a bag full of quarters and singles to get my $70 copy of GoldenEye complete with rumble pack. This project is beyond just being a game.
-
This documentary is an astounding achievement. And GoldenEye 007 didn't just change gaming. It changed millions of lives and created permanent childhood memories for an entire generation.
-
I’m still playing this on the 64 that I got Christmas morning when I was 5. My wife doesn’t play, but I’ve caught her humming some of the music around the house 😂 the music is her favorite part.
-
We all grew up with our dads watching WW2 documentaries endlessly. Our kids will grow up with us watching old video game documentaries.
-
I love the fact that the dev team was made up of mostly greenhorns who never made a game before. Honestly, as a programmer myself, that's inspirational.
-
David Doak will forever be a living legend in my eyes. “Dr. Doak”
-
Nothing beats being sat there with four of your mates on a 14" television all with grenade launchers in the Temple. No phone constantly buzzing with all that Facebook/Instagram/Snapchat nonsense. Wish I could go back to that time. I remember unboxing my N64 on Christmas day (with Goldeneye) and my dear Dad helping me to set it up. A bottled, treasured feeling. Thanks for a great documentary! Much appreciated!
-
The death animations and reactions from the enemies being shot are the best ive seen in a shooter.
-
Thank you to the Rare team for contributing such a massive amount to my childhood.
-
This game was so much fun, a prominent part of my childhood. Deathmatch especially when we had sleepovers
-
I still play it to this day, in fact I recently attended a Goldeneye tournament at a brewery. Hadn’t booted it up in years, but didn’t take long to get back into the groove. Thank you to everyone who worked on this. Many happy memories. Best video game ever!
-
RARE...you are responsible for a majority of my best childhood memories with my siblings. Thank you for creating something that brought people together in an innovative way.
