@@ryelz2483 Oh this video is not N64, it obviously cannot run this game in 4K 60FPS. The ones from other playlists are recorded with my UltraHDMI which basically gives a raw pixel quality, which is the best you can get.
Hopefully they remaster some of these games and all that, it'd be great to go through the perfect dark games and goldeneye with a fresh new look (For the third time, in perfect dark's case).
I love how the gameplay and setting are super gritty and intense while the plot and characters are as far off the wall as they can be. A talking laptop with wings, a leather jacket wearing graylien, and an army of space lizards wearing Swedish bodybuilder holograms. It’s freaking great. You can see a level of carefree creativity that would come from the same company that gave us conkers’ bad fur day.
Jet Force Gemini is on that vibe. Imperialist army of invaders who won't balk out from genorekting an entire peaceful species, _consisting of giant goofy ants and insects that speak in gibberish and high pitched squeals._ Oh, and one of the leaders of the peaceful furby alien's race name is *Jeff.* Rare was ahead of their time when it came to memes.
Ive been telling ppl that this game was waaaay ahead of its time at release. That DY357 Magnum Animation was insane back then. Plus the simulation AI multiplayer. Way better than 007
This was definitely one of the best games ever made especially on the n64. I put a ton of hours into it. Multiple player is really fun 2. The graphics are kinds of laughable now (the faces on the characters omg) but for the time this was state of the art. I remember being in awe at how beautiful the game was. But I'm old and grew up on the NES and SNES.
At first i thought it was a sequel to Goldeneye with an original storyline but it was a totally different game. Not mad about it, Perfect Dark was/is legendary.
I never did like Perfect Dark as much as Goldeneye. I still can't put my finger on exactly why. The locales are uglier IMHO, the story isn't as good, although I do like the world/premise, and for some reason it makes me motion sick, even today. I play a crap ton of shooters so I don't know what it is.
At the time when n64 was in and my friends and I discovered this game, they found the soundtrack, probably on limewire, burned a cd, and we drove around with our windows down blasting it. Lol. Threw in the goldeneye soundtrack too haha
"with mouse and keyboard" in a console game, that's supposed to be played with gamepad. Sort of easy to look good if you use superior controls. Not to mention playing this with 60 fps instead of 15ish at best originally.
This game is just A++ for all it offered. Pretty good story, fun missions, awesome guns, and sweet multiplayer, both co-op and standard. Great all around!
@@TheLordexilius Halo had a good story? I always got the impression it was just marketing and hype...it literally was the only thing Xbox had going for it.
20:30 I liked this mission how it changes based on the difficulty. If you play A or SA, you have to pick off the guys with a sniper to save the phony negotiator while in PA, YOU are the phony negotiator.
My dad used to play this game all the time, and as a kid, I was entranced. Sometimes I throw on a playthrough while working just to listen to it for nostalgia. This playthrough was chefs kiss. Lol

yea man I remember when it came out and we took it for granted how much better it was than golden eye. turns out it was the literal peak of video games. now they cant even make a video game for release and everything is a beta.
Oh man, that intro with the Nintendo logo slowly morphing and Joanna typing on the laptop just sat me square in front of my old CRT tv during my early teen years, what a rush.
The voice acting, the better/smoother animations, Multi-functional guns, quick equip menu... I never even thought an N64 game could be better than Goldeneye 64, but this truly is. Thanks for the impeccable gameplay Graslu00!
Just watched a goldeneye playthourgh and this back to back. This looks like it was on a diff generation of consoles. So many things here are so much better than Goldeneye, it's a shame then went with their own weird universe instead of getting licensed to do another game in the Bond series.
@@artansadiki3244 the AI was great for the time, but pretty damn stupid nonetheless. They're incredibly slow, move stiffly, run and roll over for no tactical reason, shoot at the wall for like 2-3seconds when you duck behind cover... even their dialogue is hilariously dumb. "Why.. me?!?" "I'm dying!" 🤣
I watched the whole thing, amazing. Perfect Dark was my favorite N64 game. I still remember every level and I am amazed at how well you played and managed to do such an expert no hit run - and on Perfect Agent! You truly are the best, Graslu. Congrats!
I genuinely thought you were gonna say Dolph Lundgren would be the best choice for Joanna Dark. I think I could live with that if he had the iconic bob.
Fun fact about the game. In A51, if you interupt Jonathan and escape with the bike instead of the shuttle, he can later be found in CI as one of the defenders.
21 years later and I never knew you could blow a hole in cassandras office wall. Thought I had seen every secret this game had to offer. Man I love this game, played the living crap out of it since I bought it on release day.
I recently went through a tough break up. Lately, as I sit alone reevaluating my life, the nostalgic comfort of Graslu00's content has been there to entertain me and occupy my brain. It's almost like meditation. With guns. Thank you!!!
Technology finally caught up to the game, to the point where we can see PD in 4K/60FPS. Makes it even more impressive that Rare was able to fit what they could on the N64 cartridge. Pretty insane. I wish today's devs had the same ambitiousness to push the envelope like this game did.
20 years. 20 Freaking years since I started playing Perfect Dark and you managed to discover the smallest of the details that not even I knew. Amazing.
@@artansadiki3244 if there is (and there is) it took YEARS to match this quality. Halo , Timesplitters 2, Red Faction, and Half-Life 2 come to mind as FPS giants around this time period. But PD is my favorite out of all of those titles.
Back when games were fun full feature re-playable games with lots of locked content you had to earn by playing, cheats and full multiplayer didnt need to pay extra for (excluding expansion pak) Man I miss the good o'l days.
Seems like a cliché to pine about the good old days but gaming was new, naive but full of life and passion back then. We seem to take anything new and suck the soul out of it with corporate greed so I don't think we're wrong to feel that way. Same way I don't begrudge older generations from thinking music has lost a lot of authenticity too.
@@BlueZirnitra N64 was not new though... it was the 3rd(4th depending where you lived) generation of gaming for Nintendo console back when there was alot more offered to the consumer to justify the cost, not to include better competition with companies that breeded innovation, free demos, flat prices and lack of piracy in video games. Yes those were golden years before there was major emulation, paid demos(early access), dlc, cash cows, blaint broken/unfinished games or MOTS (more of the same).
Been going though a rough time lately much like everyone but seeing this has brought joy back I miss the N64 this game was my favorite. Randomly starting trying to remember the menu music and here I am now wow you make this look like a real operation.
Me too man...me too. This was a nostalgia trip for sure. The 360 version is nice if you have an Xbox, it's cheap too Edit: The original remastered version, not ZERO, that game shouldn't have the PD logo on it lol
I remember Game informer giving this game a score 99 out of 100! This was easily the Perfect Game for it's time. What game ever offered you the ability to play as the Villain Enemies while your friend goes through story mode at the same time? Pure Epic!! Sincerely,
@@RyzenZegend yeah the guys at Rareware really created an incredible and Uber creative game that was so well thought out. It’s amazing what they came up with but hearing about how the team members worked 80 hour work weeks for 2 years and 7 months really shows with how this game is bulging at the seams with creativity.
Man, this sure takes me back! What a legendary game this was! Way ahead of its time when it came to mechanics, night-vision, zoom on the sniper weapons... etc... And how many hours has Graslu put into this game, I wonder, to be able to dominate like this and seemingly remember every little nook and cranny of the map as well.
It took my almost 20 years, but i finally beat Perfect dark… on Agent. Granted, the problem was that we were playing in Grandma’s house with a massive glare on the TV, and my brother too the n64, but I did it finally on XBLA.
@@Graslu00 Truely, I still have it and the console, expansion pack, max completion and still fire it up and wreck my kids on the multiplayer mod. I train with Perfect sims only.
Fun fact, not only i was i never allowed to play this game; my copy of Goldeneye was taken from me after Columbine happened because *reasons*. Im glad that ive finally been able to see what it was all about, in excellent definition, with cheese included. Thanks for filling in the blank in such a fantastic way. ♡
I've been playing this game for 23 years. It never gets old. I love the combat simulator. I used to play it with my friends a lot. I played some Perfect Dark this morning. It's always fun replaying old missions and finding the cheese.
I played the shit out of this game when I came out, but I clearly never played as much as you. It's crazy to me that you can learn exactly where the enemy's head will be before the door opens. I enjoyed watching this more than playing it myself.
"Just try it, you Scandinavian freak!" Always loved how oddly descriptive that ridiculous insult was. Also could never figure out how Dark got winter clothes for that mission while almost dying in a crash and dressed like a stewardess.
Yo these are my literal thoughts. I always said they should've had her still dressed as a stewardess and have her find those clothes in a locker or something from the crash.
@@keshiakat I can see that concept working. Like at the start of the mission, she needs to find the winter clothing before she freezes to death, like her health starts to drain until you equip it, or instead of the health drain, her aim could be way off, because of shivering from the cold, or if the developer is a total asshole, they could implement both at the same time.
Thank you for posting this. I this brings back so many memories. This was one of my all time top ten. FF7 TMNT (snes) Grand Tourismo (ps) THPS2 The Last of us 1-2 Perfect Dark Plants vs Zombies GW2 South Park FBW Fallout 4
One thing I like about your playthroughs is that you don't waste time looking at everything in the environment or trying to make stupid cinematic sequences. Get in, kill anything in your way, and complete the objectives. Straight and to the point.
This is still the best FPS, as far as I can tell. Co-op, counter-op, endless options, modes, weapon selects, etc in the multiplayer, crazy story (aliens, government conspiracies), awesome music with real effort put into (a track in 5/4 time, another track in 15/8 -- all great music throughout), awesome characters, level design depth (can be straight forward if you want, but plenty to explore -- hidden cheese, secret locations), unique CHALLENGES, different perspectives on different difficulties for some levels, affecting later levels with actions done in previous levels, the really amazing difficulties (for those who want to play casually, to those who are masochists), the funny easter eggs throughout (I once shot a guard, and the guard next to him said "I never liked him much anyway"), the innovation in the weapon and world design. Even the mystery of the Chicago ghost adds to this game's awesomeness. There's no other FPS that has this much effort put into it. This is a one of a kind game. The peak of its kind.
Couple of things that jumped out at me when watching/listening... 1) the main musical motif is very similar to Blade Runner's end credits 2) the skedar death noises reminded me of It Began In Afrika by the Chemical Brothers, probably same sample library Thanks for uploading this, it was very nostalgic 🙏
It does! The devs were inspired by Blade Runner on many parts of this game. The first level showing the full moon behind the tower is part of that, inspired by the scene where Deckard meets Rachael - angled buildings and everything. As for the Skedar noises I'm not sure, but it's definitely possible as most if not all sounds come from different libraries.
You'll notice some FPS drops here and there, this is because the game / video plugin isn't made to be run at 60FPS, so it locks back to 30 on some taxing moments no matter your PC build. Thankfully this doesn't happen much thorough the longplay. Enjoy!
@@Graslu00 I honestly prefer the Xbox controls: They feel more comfortable to me, especially with the option to lock the crosshair to the center when auto- or manual-aiming.
3:54 he opened the locked door looking through the wall!? 17:49 i didn't know about this! 19:39 i love how you become the undercover agent if you play on perfect difficulty. 28:39 i never did figure out how to get in here consistently. it was locked often. with the NPCs being the only way to open it! Fantastic playthough! you must have played this a lot! was a nostalgia rush in a reasonable amount of time! thank you for this!
The best thing about perfect dark wasn't the gameplay, story, music, or graphics. It was the bonding experience everyone enjoyed during multi-player. So many years of fun went into playing multi-player in my younger days. Still my favorite shooter.
So satisfying to watch someone in such control and knowledge of how to do something. I have been trying to emulate PD butt I got stuck with the mouse movement. Maybe this is the time to finally make it happen for myself!
@@Graslu00 could you tell me how did you emulate it with the mouse gameplay? All i know is regular emulators for N64, is there a version of this game for pc?
anyone unfamiliar with gaming at this time haven't a clue how incredible perfect dark was as a console shooter. you could have 8 bots in multiplayer, and you could play missions with more than one companion AI (Carrington institute, War!, Attack ship). incredible game.
You are literally what dark sims can’t defeat in combat simulator! I felt your pain when you missed your psychosis gun shot on Maian SOS and when Elvis walked into the proximity mine in deep sea!
Wow this is such a time warp. I played this sooooo much in highschool. It really is a gem to this day. The way the characters react to getting shot still feels..... satisfying. What game today does this where you can shoot someone in the leg and they react and you can shoot guns out if their hands. Idk but thank you so much for this playthrough. Killer job
@@angelosterkel9251 Good point, haven't played it yet but it looks amazing. The first 2 red dead games i played a ton. (Yes there was one before redemption lol) im just old.
This is bringing back the memories, I would love to play this again, especially on the pc. I'll look into it to see what it's available on. I remember grinding out each level, the first time I played using a speed strat was of course Defection Agent 6 seconds. once I got that I couldn't stop, then got a bunch more. Good times.
It's not available officially on PC, but you can play it on PC like in the video by following the tutorial in the description. It's the closest we have to a PC port. :)
I remember playing this when i was like 12 and it came out. It looks fun with a mouse and keyboard. I remember not knowing what to do for hours as a kid in the first area lol. Aiming was a pain in hindsight but back in the day i loved this. Maybe cause it was my cousin's and he said girls cant play games. I remember somehow with a friends help getting pretty far. It use to make me seasick id play it so much trying to figure out what to do & not paying attention to what anyone said. I played around in the hub area a lot. I remember a room with vehicle things or something. It's all vague but its coming back to me. Especially the sound.
What made this game addicting to me back then was the ability to do storyline missions in counter-operative mode where one player is trying to prevent you from reaching the end. Was shooting random NPC teammates and causing them to aggro to the player lol
i dont think ive ever seen a game age so well. every game in the Boomer Shooter genre essentially trying to replicate the feeling of playing this game 20+ years later
In my opinion I think this game still has some of the best weapons and secondary weapon features ever to come. Especially the weapon animations are still amazing.
I was 13 when playing this game and I remember my mom coming into my room and saying my dad is in the hospital and they don’t know what’s wrong with him. He he had a stroke and died 6 years later
My first ever fps game where it all began Perfect Dark was perfect. Thank you to the homie that gave me the console and a bunch of games including Duke Nuke em and this one 🙏🏾
Fun Fact: The reason why Perfect Dark is seen as the spiritual successor to Goldeneye is due to the fact that when Rare originally had the rights for the first game, they were able to buy them for a reasonable fee, but after the popularity of the Bond franchise skyrocketed from both the game and movie, MGM demanded a much higher amount to do a sequel to Goldeneye or at least the next movie in the franchise. Thus the movie-based games went to a different studio that could afford it, and Rare opted to make Perfect Dark, hence the high similarities between Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Nintendo did offer Rare the option to make the next Bond game, despite the extra expenses, but Rare declined as they wanted freedom with their own IP so Nintendo allowed EA to outbid them.

wow this game was amazing back in the day, this game, goldeneye and the zelda games truly made owning a n64 worth it 10000%.
This game looks amazing even in 2022
Well, 20 years later I have my own cleaning bot at least. Still waiting on the flying taxis.
Looks amazing, bringing back a lot of good memories of playing this game as a young teen
Back when games were fun full feature re-playable games with lots of locked content you had to earn by playing, cheats and full multiplayer didnt need to pay extra for (excluding expansion pak)
Man I miss the good o'l days.
Omg i remember renting this from blockbuster and the first thing i remember was the reload animation lol cause im like goldeneye didn't have that
@@Justin_Farley33 ya man!
Seems like a cliché to pine about the good old days but gaming was new, naive but full of life and passion back then. We seem to take anything new and suck the soul out of it with corporate greed so I don't think we're wrong to feel that way. Same way I don't begrudge older generations from thinking music has lost a lot of authenticity too.
@@BlueZirnitra N64 was not new though... it was the 3rd(4th depending where you lived) generation of gaming for Nintendo console back when there was alot more offered to the consumer to justify the cost, not to include better competition with companies that breeded innovation, free demos, flat prices and lack of piracy in video games.
Yes those were golden years before there was major emulation, paid demos(early access), dlc, cash cows, blaint broken/unfinished games or MOTS (more of the same).
@@Justin_Farley33 there was also that sweet gangster grip animation that would happen when you snuck up on an enemy while holding a pistol
Been going though a rough time lately much like everyone but seeing this has brought joy back I miss the N64 this game was my favorite. Randomly starting trying to remember the menu music and here I am now wow you make this look like a real operation.
Me too man...me too. This was a nostalgia trip for sure. The 360 version is nice if you have an Xbox, it's cheap too
Edit: The original remastered version, not ZERO, that game shouldn't have the PD logo on it lol
The OST and SFX in this game are unparalleled. Just incredible.
I remember Game informer giving this game a score 99 out of 100! This was easily the Perfect Game for it's time. What game ever offered you the ability to play as the Villain Enemies while your friend goes through story mode at the same time? Pure Epic!!
Sincerely,
You would think that Halo or something would have incorporated that game mode into one of their games by now. It was so awesome.
@@HandsomeDanVacationRentals Unheard of!
@@RyzenZegend yeah the guys at Rareware really created an incredible and Uber creative game that was so well thought out. It’s amazing what they came up with but hearing about how the team members worked 80 hour work weeks for 2 years and 7 months really shows with how this game is bulging at the seams with creativity.
Perfect Dark is simply in the top 5 best games ever made. Not nostalgia. Just best games ever.
Man, this sure takes me back! What a legendary game this was! Way ahead of its time when it came to mechanics, night-vision, zoom on the sniper weapons... etc... And how many hours has Graslu put into this game, I wonder, to be able to dominate like this and seemingly remember every little nook and cranny of the map as well.
This game was so good. I mastered GoldenEye and then played this. The simple sound of picking ammo up, reloading and shooting was so satisfying.
It took my almost 20 years, but i finally beat Perfect dark… on Agent. Granted, the problem was that we were playing in Grandma’s house with a massive glare on the TV, and my brother too the n64, but I did it finally on XBLA.
The K7 Avenger has always been my favorite sounding firearm in a game. It’s so damn meaty and aggressive
This is one of the best multiplayer games ever made. If you were alive in that era you would understand.
Played the hell out of this in 2004. The memories. Just missed it.
Omg thank you for this. It brings back some childhood memories playing this game. It was totally ahead of its time and way underrated!!
No cap, watching you play these games I played like 20 years ago with such skill is trippy as fuck man, this is pretty cool
Pelagic II was my absolute favorite level. The sheer amount of baddies to mow down and pump bullets into was so satisfying
Not to mention the music in that level is so futuristic

Response: Ugh, I'm dying!!!
How am I still not sick of this game or it’s soundtrack 20+ years later

@@Graslu00 🔥
@@Graslu00 Truely, I still have it and the console, expansion pack, max completion and still fire it up and wreck my kids on the multiplayer mod. I train with Perfect sims only.
Because cyberpunk atmosphere in media never gets old
@@santiagocabrera tru
Fun fact, not only i was i never allowed to play this game; my copy of Goldeneye was taken from me after Columbine happened because *reasons*.
Im glad that ive finally been able to see what it was all about, in excellent definition, with cheese included. Thanks for filling in the blank in such a fantastic way. ♡
The sound design is epic
I've been playing this game for 23 years. It never gets old. I love the combat simulator. I used to play it with my friends a lot. I played some Perfect Dark this morning. It's always fun replaying old missions and finding the cheese.
Where can u find it??
@@HipHop-1993 the cheese? Different hidden areas of the game
@@MortalWarz no the game itself .. Where can I purchase it? I use play this all the time growing up..
@@HipHop-1993 it’s on Xbox gamepass or you can buy it on the online store. There’s a remaster of it
@@gertyflings1252 okay thanks for the info!!
This is such a nostalgia trip for me. I spent so many hours on this with my long lost friend Ross.
This is not just only a master piece of gameplay, it's also about the CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESEEEEEEEEEE
The greatest game ever made, deserves a full remake
Yesssssssssss
Imagine the graphics then
I have faith the new Perfect Dark for Series X will be really good.
@@soundwave513 me too but I would love it even more if they add the remake of the original in a package, I would gladly play 100 bucks lol
Technically amazing, but I prefer the bond IP
This game was and remains one of the great masterpieces of gaming history
No, it was not. It`s a mindless action crime.
INSTANT goosebumps hearing that first song. Going down memory lane with your GoldenEye and Perfect Dark videos
I played the shit out of this game when I came out, but I clearly never played as much as you. It's crazy to me that you can learn exactly where the enemy's head will be before the door opens.
I enjoyed watching this more than playing it myself.
"Just try it, you Scandinavian freak!" Always loved how oddly descriptive that ridiculous insult was. Also could never figure out how Dark got winter clothes for that mission while almost dying in a crash and dressed like a stewardess.
Yo these are my literal thoughts. I always said they should've had her still dressed as a stewardess and have her find those clothes in a locker or something from the crash.
@@keshiakat I can see that concept working. Like at the start of the mission, she needs to find the winter clothing before she freezes to death, like her health starts to drain until you equip it, or instead of the health drain, her aim could be way off, because of shivering from the cold, or if the developer is a total asshole, they could implement both at the same time.
@@kylemurphy597 see now that would be e even more impressive for game play if they would have implemented that.
The cutscenes were filled with such ridiculous dialogue and weird animations. I love it.
I love that cameo scene with him and Mr Blonde
Thank you for posting this. I this brings back so many memories. This was one of my all time top ten.
FF7
TMNT (snes)
Grand Tourismo (ps)

The Last of us 1-2
Perfect Dark

One thing I like about your playthroughs is that you don't waste time looking at everything in the environment or trying to make stupid cinematic sequences.
Get in, kill anything in your way, and complete the objectives. Straight and to the point.
I remember playing this game everyday with my older brother RIP, these were great memories brings me back. Thanks
May these memories live forever.
This is still the best FPS, as far as I can tell. Co-op, counter-op, endless options, modes, weapon selects, etc in the multiplayer, crazy story (aliens, government conspiracies), awesome music with real effort put into (a track in 5/4 time, another track in 15/8 -- all great music throughout), awesome characters, level design depth (can be straight forward if you want, but plenty to explore -- hidden cheese, secret locations), unique CHALLENGES, different perspectives on different difficulties for some levels, affecting later levels with actions done in previous levels, the really amazing difficulties (for those who want to play casually, to those who are masochists), the funny easter eggs throughout (I once shot a guard, and the guard next to him said "I never liked him much anyway"), the innovation in the weapon and world design. Even the mystery of the Chicago ghost adds to this game's awesomeness.
There's no other FPS that has this much effort put into it. This is a one of a kind game. The peak of its kind.
Man, this is awesome.
This makes me wanna play Perfect Dark again.
But in 4K. 🤣
Play it on Xbox.
@@pneuma7183 I got the Xbox version it’s exactly like I remember it on the N64
Just watching the way you play in Perfect mode makes me want to play this all over again, solid play.
Watching your playthroughs is pure joy... Please go on. It's so satisfying to see someone play these gems from my youth with that perfection.
It's so satisfying to see you playing, every headshot makes me smile =)
Couple of things that jumped out at me when watching/listening...
1) the main musical motif is very similar to Blade Runner's end credits
2) the skedar death noises reminded me of It Began In Afrika by the Chemical Brothers, probably same sample library
Thanks for uploading this, it was very nostalgic 🙏
It does! The devs were inspired by Blade Runner on many parts of this game. The first level showing the full moon behind the tower is part of that, inspired by the scene where Deckard meets Rachael - angled buildings and everything.
As for the Skedar noises I'm not sure, but it's definitely possible as most if not all sounds come from different libraries.
You'll notice some FPS drops here and there, this is because the game / video plugin isn't made to be run at 60FPS, so it locks back to 30 on some taxing moments no matter your PC build. Thankfully this doesn't happen much thorough the longplay. Enjoy!
Oh thank god I thought it was my laptop.
Doesnt xbox version give you 4k 60 fps?
If you play it on the One X or Series S / X, yes - but that's not PC and it controls worse than N64.
Keep em comin champ !
@@Graslu00 I honestly prefer the Xbox controls: They feel more comfortable to me, especially with the option to lock the crosshair to the center when auto- or manual-aiming.
3:54 he opened the locked door looking through the wall!?
17:49 i didn't know about this!
19:39 i love how you become the undercover agent if you play on perfect difficulty.
28:39 i never did figure out how to get in here consistently. it was locked often. with the NPCs being the only way to open it!
Fantastic playthough! you must have played this a lot! was a nostalgia rush in a reasonable amount of time! thank you for this!
Thank you for this, This game is so amazing and I wish it was more accessible. The soundtrack and settings just put my mind at ease.
The best thing about perfect dark wasn't the gameplay, story, music, or graphics. It was the bonding experience everyone enjoyed during multi-player. So many years of fun went into playing multi-player in my younger days. Still my favorite shooter.
So satisfying to watch someone in such control and knowledge of how to do something.
I have been trying to emulate PD butt I got stuck with the mouse movement.
Maybe this is the time to finally make it happen for myself!
Definitely give it a try! Feels like just any other native PC game.
@@Graslu00 could you tell me how did you emulate it with the mouse gameplay? All i know is regular emulators for N64, is there a version of this game for pc?
@@caiodecastro7956 First link in the description should get you all you need (except the games)
@@Graslu00 thank you and sorry about that, didint check the description!
@@caiodecastro7956 all good!
anyone unfamiliar with gaming at this time haven't a clue how incredible perfect dark was as a console shooter. you could have 8 bots in multiplayer, and you could play missions with more than one companion AI (Carrington institute, War!, Attack ship). incredible game.
You are literally what dark sims can’t defeat in combat simulator!
I felt your pain when you missed your psychosis gun shot on Maian SOS and when Elvis walked into the proximity mine in deep sea!
Funny how this game is older than most people watching this and its still one of the best fps games even today.
It's crazy that you showed a lot of stuff that I missed when I had this game. Damn. You're good!
Wow this is such a time warp. I played this sooooo much in highschool. It really is a gem to this day. The way the characters react to getting shot still feels..... satisfying. What game today does this where you can shoot someone in the leg and they react and you can shoot guns out if their hands. Idk but thank you so much for this playthrough. Killer job
Red dead redemption 2. There's your answer for the most part
@@angelosterkel9251 Good point, haven't played it yet but it looks amazing. The first 2 red dead games i played a ton. (Yes there was one before redemption lol) im just old.
This is bringing back the memories, I would love to play this again, especially on the pc. I'll look into it to see what it's available on.
I remember grinding out each level, the first time I played using a speed strat was of course Defection Agent 6 seconds. once I got that I couldn't stop, then got a bunch more. Good times.
It's not available officially on PC, but you can play it on PC like in the video by following the tutorial in the description. It's the closest we have to a PC port. :)
@@Graslu00 Thanks so much for the information on that! I'm going to have a blast with this I can tell.
Cheers dude.
I remember playing this when i was like 12 and it came out. It looks fun with a mouse and keyboard. I remember not knowing what to do for hours as a kid in the first area lol. Aiming was a pain in hindsight but back in the day i loved this. Maybe cause it was my cousin's and he said girls cant play games. I remember somehow with a friends help getting pretty far. It use to make me seasick id play it so much trying to figure out what to do & not paying attention to what anyone said.
I played around in the hub area a lot. I remember a room with vehicle things or something. It's all vague but its coming back to me. Especially the sound.
What made this game addicting to me back then was the ability to do storyline missions in counter-operative mode where one player is trying to prevent you from reaching the end. Was shooting random NPC teammates and causing them to aggro to the player lol
this is all i did lol best times i would pretend to be an npc also hahahaha
@@Gio-ey3to me too lol.
Whoa! This game it's awesome, Graslu00! I never played it! Wonderful playthrough! Very good! Congrats, friend!
What a great game!With tons of replayabilty!
i dont think ive ever seen a game age so well. every game in the Boomer Shooter genre essentially trying to replicate the feeling of playing this game 20+ years later
You really take the perfect part seriously. Nice run.
I used to love switching on the lights during 'extraction' and blinding De Vries' bodyguards before they could get a single shot in
In my opinion I think this game still has some of the best weapons and secondary weapon features ever to come. Especially the weapon animations are still amazing.
Without reading the description box, I knew you were playing with mice & keyboard. Plays extremely well.
I was 13 when playing this game and I remember my mom coming into my room and saying my dad is in the hospital and they don’t know what’s wrong with him. He he had a stroke and died 6 years later
Sorry to hear that bro. 🙏🏾
I’m sorry, that would’ve been tough. May your Dad be resting in peace
My first ever fps game where it all began Perfect Dark was perfect. Thank you to the homie that gave me the console and a bunch of games including Duke Nuke em and this one 🙏🏾
That frame rate is so beautiful & who ever is playing this is amazing!
the grenade in the datadyne extraction level I never knew aout this! :O
great job! would never be able to play an entire game without damage!
this game is absolutely stunning in 4k! and you are a f*cking LEGEND at playing it…
Fun Fact: The reason why Perfect Dark is seen as the spiritual successor to Goldeneye is due to the fact that when Rare originally had the rights for the first game, they were able to buy them for a reasonable fee, but after the popularity of the Bond franchise skyrocketed from both the game and movie, MGM demanded a much higher amount to do a sequel to Goldeneye or at least the next movie in the franchise. Thus the movie-based games went to a different studio that could afford it, and Rare opted to make Perfect Dark, hence the high similarities between Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
Nintendo did offer Rare the option to make the next Bond game, despite the extra expenses, but Rare declined as they wanted freedom with their own IP so Nintendo allowed EA to outbid them.
oh wow never knew this
For me the best game from N64, and its multiplayer is way better that many modern games.
This brings back so many memories!!
This was the game that showed cars can get viruses, and today that’s probably possible
