Every thread is the thread for that kind of thing apparently.
Hmm, odd qualifier. Are you saying there is a better 1st person platformer?
While Conker is one of my all-time favorites, I disagree.Is Conker the greatest third person platformer of all time?
Yes.
Yes it is.
Well technically it's the second :PGod I miss this franchise. One incredible game was all it got then....Dead and buried.
The N64 version was not censored by the way.
Only thing Nintendo vetoed was the Pikachu joke.
The f-word beeping was on purpose, other swear words are intact.
Read some interviews with Chris Seavor.
The game was also published by THQ, not Nintendo like all the other Rare games.
Also the N64 version is the only true version, for the uncensored great mighty poo alone.
They only "halfbeeped" the f-word.I'm not sure if Nintendo would've allowed for the f-word to be left uncensored anyway. Could you imagine that? Lol!

You still hear the capital F haha.

And I don't know if the Great Mighty Poo song is worse then any F-word usage lol.
This isn't entire true. N64 developers had to jump through hoops to pass certification, and part of that was a laundry list of subject matter that wasn't allowed. Conker skirted a lot of stuff. Like, Nintendo's guidelines forbade animal cruelty. This mean that (it was either Duke Nukem or Daikatana) couldn't have a sign reading DOG BURGERS, and stuff like that. Nintendo wouldn't let them have a KKK lynching joke in Conker, for instance. (This was replaced by the pot and brush being dressed in black.)The N64 version was not censored by the way.

They also changed a lot of small details like Dr. Caroll mentioned here:
Look up the Great Mighty Poo Xbox version and you'll find out.
Okay, so pet peeve. In the original N64 version, the opening shot is this:
Which is an overt reference to:
Complete with the tight zoom on Conker's face. One especially nice touch is how the milk in Conker's glass moves around as he drinks.
But the Xbox remake replaces the glass of milk with the goblet he drinks out of at Dracula's castle, and the opening shot is much wider. It's still a homage to Clockwork Orange mixed with Conan the Destroyer, but the overt similarity is gone, not least because he's no longer visibly drinking milk. He doesn't move at all. Literally none of the brooding emotion of the original is conveyed. He looks like a stuffed toy sitting on a throne. The entire plot revolves around milk. It's weird that such a major prop was switched.
I don't understand how/why they messed up that shot so badly. Similarly, they screwed up the shot where Conker begins to realise that he's part of a beach invasion. The door wheel thing spins round and round and Conker slowly turns his head sideways looking at it, increasingly concerned. In the Xbox version, the effect is ruined because they placed a squirrel standing in front of him. There's a level of polish to the cinematography in the N64 version that is missing from the Xbox version. Not that I'm knocking the Xbox version in general. It's fantastic for the most part. Also, in some shots of the Exorcist parody, the little girl has the wrong facial expression. There's a lot of little animation errors and incorrectly framed shots littered through the remake, Maybe it was a little bit rushed or something?
Which version did you play? The Xbox remake is dramatically easier. (Fun fact, the N64 original has hidden Easy Mode cheats. EASY and VERYEASY. Most people don't know about them.)
Seavor has said that some of the bleeping was MS, some of it was him.For me the censorship ruins the game, it is truly insane that it was uncut on a Nintendo platform and neutered by Microsoft.
It sure looks good though.
Yeah.So I have this game digitally for Xbox 360... is this a cross-buy situation with Xbox One?

I hope some day MS will release a full proper port for XboxOne with achievements etc like Vodoo Vince.
Yep. Controls are much better.I feel like I played a conker game on rare replay and really didn't like the controlls. Felt very nintendoy
Any chance that's fixed and I can use both thumb sticks ?
