Goldeneye Vs Perfect Dark
- Thread starter NuclearCake
- Start date
Campaign: Goldeneye. It's open enough without making you feel lost all the time.
Multiplayer: Perfect Dark/Timesplitters 2. Just nothing but improvements over the originals.

Nostalgic people(this includes people who didn't have the expansion pack) will say Goldeneye. The true answer is Perfect Dark. It was simply the better game.
According to someone at Rare, it sold around 3.2 million copies. Other figures put it at 2.5, but Rare probably know better. That was less than half of what GE sold, but was pretty huge by FPS standards of the time. Especially since PD was released in mid-2000 and the system's life cycle was mostly wrapped up by late 2001. GE had the benefit of selling throughout 1997-2001.
Perfect Dark's influence is difficult to separate from GoldenEye's. It's like trying to distinguish between Crysis and Crysis 2's influence on gaming. You can find their influence in a lot of places, but a lot of what Crysis 2 did was already present in Crysis.
On a slightly different topic, one of the developers from GoldenEye: Source is currently working on a remake of GoldenEye for PC, aiming for release in 2022.
Even David Doak has chimed in with his opinions on the project.
This project looks very promising, and I'm a little wary about MS/Nintendo reviving GoldenEye XBLA and finding reason to try and squash the project. To date, there have been no legal challenges against stuff like GoldenEye: Source, but that could change.
Slayer, Fly-By-Wire Rocket mode only. Ravine.
Devastator, Wall Hugger mode only. Grid.
Farsight only. 8 Carrington Turtle-bots (slow + shield). Free for all. Warehouse.
Deathmatchs for the ages.
Let's hope something comes out of Nintendo and Microsoft being in bed together.
Perfect Dark has better mecanics and better weapons, but I prefer GoldenEye's level design.
Perfect Dark MP is better imo. The HD version is so fun in MP.
But both are awesome games. I think Rare games have aged reaaaally bad. The DK Country games, Banjo 1, GoldenEye and Perfect Dark are their only games that I still like.

I was crazy bastard when young. Could play with 10 fps and I would no be bother. That's why I destroyed my eyes when a kid. Can't play perfect dark on nintendo 64 anymore... Goldeneye is much better based on that only.
Nostalgia doesn't make something better. I highly prefer Perfect Dark based on the large number of improvements.
I really really wish that somehow PD remaster comes out on the pc cause that's the only way I'll play it. I have unfinished business with that game trying to beat that on Perfect Agent. I refused to get a 360 to play that.
I'd choose Goldeneye's campaign over Perfect Dark's but PD has bots in multiplayer so I'd pick that for the multi.
Timesplitters 2 or Future Perfect beats both in every department easily for me, though.

Kind of yeah. Goldeneye is such a strong memory in peoples minds because it came out at a time where there was nothing really comparable and was pretty revolutionary.
Bots sounded cool until you played with them and they just ran on loops as if it was a race and lagged the game something fierce. Unreal Tournament did it so much better like a year earlier.
Perfect Dark was improved in every concievable way. The literal only downside that is still only subjective is the 007 vs Perfect Dark as an IP.
Everything else in PD is amazing. Still has better features than some today even have.

I'm more nostalgic for Golden Eye, but having played both in the last 2 years Perfect Dark holds up wayyyy better.
I'm sure it depends on where you were when these games came out. Like I'm pretty sure Perfect Dark fixed some of the shortcomings of Goldeneye, however I was right in the middle of the whole Goldeneye phenomenon. By the time Perfect Dark came out my friends weren't around as much so I didn't have anywhere near the same enjoyment out of Perfect Dark compared to Goldeneye. Goldeneye was a fucking masterpiece because I had endless amounts of fun with friends at the time. So many fucking great games, I wish I could relive shit like that.
Hell yeah! I've waited an eternity for those GE Source guys to remake the campaign. Glad to hear they're finally remaking the best part of GE. Day 1.
