Now you mention it, some of the cut scene's audio were more bugged in the GC port, there was more of a delay and sometimes two of the same track would play at the same time. (The above cut scene is perhaps the most notorious for it, that as well as the final scene before the end credits sequence).
I remember magazines talking about extra graphic problems in the Gamecube ports, instead of addressing the problems that were already in the DC versions.
Yea, I heard the GC version had more issues then the DC version as well(all kinds of graphic glitches, and such).
Not really. Halo and COD play nothing like eachother, be it maps or weapons. Crysis uses your suit's abilities as part of the challenge of getting through a level. Bulletstorm relies on using a tool called a leash, that you grab enemies with and fling or punch where ever you want. Bionic Commando (not the old arcade/NES game) allows you to grapple enemies and buildings, to work your way through levels.Quote:

I always have and always will think of Goldeneye as the most over-rated FPS to ever grace a console. It's not that good.
Goldeneye's my litmus test on whether I take someone's opinions on the FPS genre seriously. If someone still considers it among the very best, it's clear they don't play PC games or play the genre at more than a casual level.
Can you play this game with a first-person view?Quote:

It's among the best for multiplayer, and no, I don't consider playing "online" with someone multiplayer, although if you can't LAN parties then that's a whole different story.Quote:

I miss the days when we had energy bars, and had to shoot the hell out of each other before we died.

You know, back when single-console multiscreen multiplayer was something of a novelty (particularly with four players and especially with the FPS). Thing is, it's not a novelty anymore. The FPS genre and multiplayer in general has evolved considerably since then. Framerates have improved, along with character models, textures, ad nauseum. Also, the definining characteristics of Goldeneye's single-player campaign that made it so much more than a mindless Doom romp have now become somewhat commonplace. So, in essence, you can now have games that provide all of Goldeneye's strengths with none of its weaknesses.Quote:

Hell, you might as well play TimeSplitters 2 on the system of your choice. It's the same game by the same developer, minus James Bond.
I look at it this way. When The Simpsons came out, it set the world on fire. People thought it was the greatest thing ever, and it was edgy and funny. But guess what happened after that first season? The show improved. The writing got sharper, the characters became more defined, and the animation got way better as the show's budget increased.
Now answer me this: can you watch seasons 4-6 (the highlights of the series, as far as most people are concerned) and then go back to Season 1 and say it's still better?
There are plenty of FPS with energy bars.Quote:

Well, there's very few FPS games I like, and I'll be happy if I never play one again for as long as I live.Quote:

Many people in this thread don't seem to be aware of the existence of other FPS out there than the latest CoD, MoH, Halo and Battlefield. Probably because the aforementioned are overhyped to the point of overshadowing all the other games. I don't expect you to know everything about the latest games, since this is after all a retro gaming forum, and the Genesis isn't exactly big on FPS games, but at least do some research before spouting uneducated nonsense.
He said in this thread he doesn't play American games or FPS games. It's okay eddie if you don't like this stuff, but come on man, don't go making up things about the genre that aren't true.
Well, here's a small list of some I've played:Quote:

And to me, none of the newer FPS games will ever come close to being as good as them.
