Worst shooter ever...
Belongs in the very same pile as turok.
Now doom 2 on the other hand belongs on the shelf of forever classics.
Did you play the full-featured original, or the hack-remake-port to the new consoles?
Turok: Shouldn't even be mentioned in the same solar system as Goldeneye... HORRIBLE game.
Goldeneye 007: The REASON we have FPS games on consoles. Revolutionary for it's time. Enough said.
Doom 2: Cheesy re-print of Doom, with nothing really "new."
No offense, but you are a little off-base with your opinion, I think. |

Also like I said played it 3 years ago for the first time. The game if it had anything special for its time is not something I would try to reintroduce as is. Homeworld is considered a forever classic because I can still introduce it to a new person today and they would thouroghly enjoy it despite it being 10 years old. I mean which other game has the camera and gun on seperate axi? There is not a mordern shooter that does this, closest game I can recall is mech warrior II where is far more appropirate to have guns on seperate axi as the camera, after all some people had joystick and mouse and used the mouse to move the camera in the cockpit about.
Halo fixed it thanks to a controller scheme that worked (meanwhile medal of honor had no effing idea how to make shooter work using d-pad to aim ><)
No, Goldeneye was directly responsible for the FPS multiplayer madness we see now. You can credit Doom all you like, but if it were not for Goldeneye, consoles wouldn't have gotten online multiplayer FPS games as soon as they did. I'm not sure what reality you come from, but it must have been different than everyone else's. The multiplayer in Goldeneye proved that it can be done, and that it could be done on a console, not just a PC network. Was it the first multiplayer FPS? No, Doom (PC) and Marathon (MAC) take that honor. Was it the first "major" FPS on a "console"? YES! Was it the first multiplayer FPS on a "console"? YES!
Goldeneye was also the first FPS to introduce precise aiming, headshots, specialized animations for where the bullet hit the target, sniping (through a scope,) enemy awareness and stealth-routes. Learn some history before you try to attack a franchise that existed before your gaming days really began.
Now, as for Homeworld (wow, obscure!)... There is a reason why the camera and gun are on the same axi now. It makes sense, and having to juggle a camera and a gun separately (but at the same time) is ob-F*N-noxious. Standard control schemes at the time were still much better for precision control. I think the problem is that you are like my friend Kyle... You just HAVE to hate anything everyone else likes, and LOVE anything everyone else hates. I think it's simply in your nature to disagree with the masses, regardless of the logic involved. This makes you great for debates, but horrible for providing useful feedback on a game still undergoing the Beta process. If they listen to people like yourself, then this game will fail.
I will agree that Halo brought console FPS controls into the current age, and can be credited with validating online multiplayer FPS games for consoles. MOH sucked, as did any "shooters" on handheld systems prior to the Vita, because they didn't offer dual-analog controls. Shooters on touch-based systems (Android/iOS) also suck for this reason... Until you connect a PS3 controller to your Android device, then they become quite good.
You can take your "FPS experience" and place it in a dark, warm, location... You obviously have no idea what you are talking about when it comes to early FPS history. I was there, and played most of them, so don't wave it around like your e-peen is greater than anyone else's.
Even "Heretic" was better than Doom 2!! Wow... |
