- So see my Spotlight: PS1 First Person Shooters video go here: • Spotlight: PS1 First P...
This is a quick rundown of the First Person Shooters I own for the Nintendo 64. I have a pretty good list of them, and I would say that Quake is the biggest omission on this list of games.
The N64 has a wonderful library of FPS games, and while, there will be no surprises here for N64 fans, there may be some that new collectors may have overlooked, or don't know about.
Dang it, it looks like I missed an entire paragraph in the Turok 2 portion that eplains my complaint of having to restart the level if you make it to the end of the level, and miss an objective. The real question is, do I just leave it, or do I re-edit it? argh! this is what happens when I get caught up in editing.
Here is the full Turok 2 blurb as I was supposed to add it to the video:
Turok 2: Seeds of Evil
If I remember correctly, the developers of this game were quoted as saying that every level in Turok 2 is the equivalent of walking six virtual miles. Turok 2 improved over the original in many ways. Better graphics thanks to the expansion pack, bigger levels, an actual storyline, split screen multiplayer, and cooler weapons like the cerebral bore.
To be honest, I still have yet to fully play through this one either. Not only have I had fun playing around with the cheats as I did with the original, there is one incredibly demotivating design choice that has always kept me from fully playing this game. I don't even remember how far I have played into it over the years, as I tend to delete my save in order to make room on my N64 memory card for other games. What has kept me from being motivated from seeing this one all the way through is simply that, in each level, Adon starts out by giving you the level objectives you have to complete. Taking a que from Goldeneye, Turok 2 switched to objective-based missions. What demotivates me every time I decide, “This time I'm going to do it. I will see it though this time!” is the simple fact that, if you miss one of the objectives in the level, you get knocked right back to the beginning of the level and have to start again. The objectives you have already completed are still completed, but you have to retread to find, say, that one missing child you did not rescue.
So you just walked through six virtual miles of gameplay, and if you missed even one thing, you have to do it all over again. Whereas in the original Turok, even if you did not find every key in each level, you would usually still find enough keys to unlock a new level, so you did not have to replay the level you just played right then, in Turok 2, you are basically stuck in limbo until you complete the level. This kind of kills all my motivation to see this game all the way through, and it does it every time. I know this can be remedied by not sucking at the game, but if you miss one thing, no mercy shall be applied, you have to start right from the beginning of the level again. There is no grace
My only other slight quip about this game is that, while the game does look great running in the high-rez mode, and even the high-rez leterbox mode, thanks to the expansion pack, if you want it to be playable, and not sluggish, you still have to play it in low-rez mode as the high-rez mode make the game chug. The fog doesn't bother me as much as it bothers others.
I don't mean to sound overly critical, because I still really like this game, and do suggest it to all N64 fist person gamers, just be warned, there are some frustrating design choices. That being said, I am totally going to see this game through one of these days. - Ігри
Play on 1.25x speed just do it,it's worth.
Feel the same way about Perfect Dark. I got it too late in the N64’s life to put the time into it that it deserved. The next gen was already in full swing.
The squishy noise it makes topped off with that scream when you run guys over in the tank in 007 is nostalgic as fuck to me.
I've watched all your videos. each one is as good as the last, your an inspiration and I love you man
Doom 64 isn’t fully polygonal. Its enemies are 2D sprites like the original. That said, I really loved it. It kept all that makes Doom Doom, but bumped up the tech/atmosphere.
Yeah, I should have clarified the levels were. I've gotten better at clarifying things, and trying to get rid of residency in my writing. There is definitely a tough balance between working full time, and getting the scripting and voice over done. I need to proofread better, but I pretty much just use my first draft, because I basically have one day off to voice it over, and edit the video.
teh2Dgamer I know what it’s like. Though I’ve yet to do a video with SO MANY different games and so many different video files as this.
Wow this video took me back. I was 7th-10th grade when the N64 came out. Good times
Watched this on the one year anniversary of the video haha great video by the way
i also played quake 2 on n64 first, hired it out from the video store a few times to beat it, so when i played the pc version it dident hit me with the same nostalgia that the n64 levels do, infact i just couldnt mind with it the same.
Turok2 was an outstanding game, you got to play through it sometime, it is one violent game and there is memorable bosses and enemies in the game!
I think the nostalgia and the more simplistic level design may be why you like it more but Perfect Dark is without a doubt an amazing fps and top on the system along with Turok 2,Golden eye and Quake
Def want to try Quake 2 and 007 WinE.
Love your opinion on Turok! My reaction to the games awesome was similar minus the motion sickness.
The Turok HD versions are so much more playable. Im loving it.
Warp portals bro lol
actually there are button input cheats for goldeneye, they revealed them well after its release though
You said that Quake 2 is missing grenades, yet you pick some up during the game play footage.
Wow this is amazing I didnt know how good and how powerful the n64 was
dear 2DG, its called a volume button, you can use it adjust video volume in your vide editor, they've been a thing since the 1980s.
I'll take that into consideration
the triangles in Turok are called Life Gems, I think
I still play perfect dark and goldeneye those are my favorite n64 games
I remember the first level in perfect dark but I'm going to buy it tonight or tomorrow on Xbox and beat it again because I felt as though I had more fun campaigning through prefect dark over GoldenEye but I actually do remember the campaign better for GoldenEye, one thing I'll give to GoldenEye is that it actually does have the best back story out of any James Bond ever made even if the movie wasn't the best movie, if you go into the history of (Trevlon) if that is how you spell his name, if you look at history the way I do then you would actually see him as the good guy and James bond as the bad guy....
for me duke nukem 64 was first and later ps1 version but knowing the censored parts ...
I like how they respond to been shot in Golden Eye. The Aliens with force fields in Halo you pile bullets into are one of the worst examples I can think of in this area.
The blur effect isn't bad in my opinion. It resets on the Xbox Live version by the way.
i am not kiding you guys i played turok 2 on pc and i got like a fever that is how bad it affected my brain for some strange reason...... i can totally relate to the motion sickness .. i have never again experienced that with any other game
Great video, but I have one criticism. What is that high pitched sound in the background?
Dang it, it looks like I missed an entire paragraph in the Turok 2 portion that eplains my complaint of having to restart the level if you make it to the end of the level, and miss an objective. The real question is, do I just leave it, or do I re-edit it? argh! this is what happens when I get caught up in editing.
Adding missing stuff to the description might help as well.
I love the showcase of horrible war crimes commited by Bond on soviet soldiers at the start of the video XD I can only wonder how inspection of the base went after Bond's departure - piles of bodies shot to oblivion inside, and whole courtyard filled with mangled corpes crushed to death by tank. Typical Bond, a man of culture.
Also, for me when it comes to DooM games WITHOUT mods, DooM 64 is my favourite one by a large margin - amazing title that feels like modern boomer shooter (and i only learned about it existence in last few years).
Doom 64 is definitely awesome. I own it on steam now as well as on the N64. As for Mr Bond, he's definitely a man of culture and style. Stylistically turning those soviet soldiers into piles of red goo, as I can imagine someone ran over by a tank would look. Or maybe into a red gooie throw rug.
My top 5 MUST OWN, MUST PLAY, BEST FPS on the N64 with expansion pak:
1. Perfect Dark 64
2. Goldeneye 64
3. TWINE
4. Quake II
5. Turok 2 SoE
Top 5 FPS that are sub-par (fun but not needed to own):
1. Turok
2. Duke Nukem 3D 64
3. Doom 64
4. ShadowGate 64 (RPG but still FPS visuals and dark music make this amazing)
5. Turok 3
I have every game that you displayed in you video!
Great job.👍
I also never finished Turok 1&2 in a proper fashion.
As much as I liked huge levels,particularly in Turok 2,I almost as much hated them.
Save pyramids were to far from each other.
But there are fortunately cheats.😃
To think,magazines were including cheatcodes.
Those were fun times.
Today cheats are unwelcomed even on oflayn play.
Shame.
I paid for Doom 64 insane amount of money.
Game was good,but not great.
Duke Nukem 64 was also preaty good,though I don't remember if I finished it.
Quake 2 was amazing.
I remember some PC players complaining for having to much colors or some such nonsence.
Really great with expansion pack.
I don't remember if I finished Turok Rage Wars,but it was Ok I suppose.
I did finish Turok 3 however.
Very good game it was.
Golden Eye 007 was excellent,but as you said a bit overrated.
I sucked in multiplayer and a frame rate of amazingly high 15fps or lower(when 4 player multiplayer) didn't really motivate me to practice it.
I prefer Perfect Dark,but not by much.
I played Hexen on a friend's PC and it was mostly great,but terrible reviews of Hexen 64 made me give up the idea of buying N64 version.
Great video ! Don't you wanna play the South park FPS on N64 ? I personally don't think it's bad :)
Never got around to picking it up
I love that game!
I too feel like that south park game ain't that bad especially since it's running on the turok 2 engine, i think the multiplayer is freaken awesome with so many characters to choose from and I love the many fully voiced cutscenes
@@subielife4life "Hey look, Cartman's eating the turkey's butt !" :D
@@GeekGamerGui chefs luv shack Is also pretty fun, kinda like an adult rated Mario party
I, personally, believe Turok 1 and 2 beat out 3. The 3rd entry had some great things that I love about it. I liked that Joseph and Danielle played differently, from their weapons to their movements. I liked that they updated the options menu, so that you could remove the annoying center look option. I liked the epic boss fights. While many other shooters will have you fight a chopper, none will have you fight a chopper... in quite the same way.
But the overly linear levels, omission of the "I AM TUROK" scream, and seemingly hit-scanning enemies, make this a bit less fun for me. It seemed more luck based than the other two games, at least in my playthrough. Then again, maybe I suck. :P
Also... it really should have been Co-Op.
The shooting in the 2nd and 3rd games feels... off, somehow. I think they tweaked it in some way that made it less smooth than shooting in the original Dinosaur Hunter, but a fair few N64 shooters feel off in the same way to me. I can't quite pinpoint it. Maybe it's just me.
Anyhow, props for ending the video with "I AM TUROK!" I see you are a man of culture as well. :P
have you played Blood(1997)PC ? its an amazing game you should check it out if you haven't played it
I have never played the original, but I do own Blood 2 on the PC. I have an old Windows XP computer, and part of the fun with games like Blood 2, and Shogo is figuring out how to get them to run. The Lith-tech engine reacts differently to newer-ish computers.
well blood(1997) runs on different engine it's the Build engine you can get the game from steam and gog.com the settings are already set and the game runs fine on modern computers Blood(1997) is a great game and its much better than sequel the atmosphere of that game is just so great and the gameplay is hell of a fun like blowing up your enemies with dynamite was never been so good
Great list. I like how you throw in anecdotes from your childhood. I could do without the different voices you try out
I seriously do those voices in real life, LOL. It's not me trying to be entertaining, maybe in a sarcastic way at best, but it's because sometimes 90's gaming was rather cheesy, and I like being cheesy.
hehe. Cool. In that case it just makes your videos more real. Knowing that, that is. I will keep that in mind for future viewings. I make voices too. I guess we just can't help it :)
Yeah the weapons and lack of gore was a bit disappointing in turok 2
I still play my N64
Like your work but how could you not mention counter apps It's still one of the greatest modes in any game that is not returned where the second player plays as a crappy bad guy in the level but obviously he'll be smarter
I have golden eye turok one two and three star fox mario 64 mario kart perfect dark duke nukem 64 qwake 64 and a few others
I will never figure it out, but i can play Quake 64s campaign without getting motion sick, but when it comes to its multiplayer, or either version of Quake 2 for PS1 or N64, i get sick. why? i really wanna play these games! Except Quake 64 multiplayer, what a let down.
I guess you are just sensitive to early 3D game visuals, unless it just happens with the two Quake Games. Maybe it's something specifically to do with these games. Textures, colors, lighting. Not sure.
I played unreal so much
next episode, N64 'shmups'. That star soldier game n er that's it lol. just messing around I love the N64 n one is better than non.
N64 2D fighters....N64 RPGs, only cover three games with that one, N64 beat 'em ups Fighting Force 64 and, and, and.....Both N64 Car Combat games..... N64 mission-based driving games like GTA, and Driver.........LOL
9:39 a game with no music, *small* annoyance? Are you serious?
I'm ok with no music in a fps as long as I hear my guns and enemies I'm good with that and I'm sure many people agree too but I guess some people won't agree like you
I said 'extra guy' to my nephew.
He said "what's an extra guy?"
Well then he’s fucking stupid.
who is buying these old school games from Amazon when u easily get them on internet
Where's Rainbow Six
I completely disagree with you. I think Turok 2 is the best Turok game in the franchise and it's easily the most fun I've had since the original Turok. Those long and challenging maps is what makes the game both fun and mind bending so when you do play it again, you will remember where that key was or where the child was that you missed. Turok series is an amazing franchise that I would love to go back and play again.
To each their own, and to own...their...each..I guess. I just always found being sent back to the beginning to be completely demotivating. I prefred that more Half-Life feel of the third, even if it had little to do with hunting Dinosaurs. LOL. It felt a lot more like a consistent FPS game to me than the first two, which I still love.
I consider Turok 2 to be one of the best FPS of all time. But of course this is my subjective opinion. I also own Turok 3 (like all other Turok titles) for the N64 but never played it. I still hope it gets an HD remaster for PC and Xbox because Turok 2 already benefited so much from the remaster (especially in terms of framerate and controls).
I hope that the new unreal engine 5 actually get an unreal game
❤
Turok 3 doesn't chug ? Well thats the biggest lie I heard today .
How does everyone go about the situation with those atrocious N64 analog sticks? Can't stress enough how much I hate them, all of the used controllers have that white powder on the stick from the bowl having been ground to dust over time. That controller is designed to fail inevitably, unlike the PS1 pad. And of course all of these games need the stick. It seems that a Hori Mini is my only chance for getting into this system in this lifetime, but so far I couldn't justify shelling out 100 bucks for an imported one from Japan.
I call that the Mario Party effect. I know other games, or just general wear and tear can destroy the sticks too, but there is a reason why I will never add Mario Party to my N64 collection, because it destroys controllers.
Xan0906 there's this video of this guy who used this piece of oddly shaped plastic he used to put in the analogue stick and after he fitted it into the analogue stick. He put the controller back together and it was nice and tight lol.
Well, the other only best option would be to get a Superpad/Makopad, it may look awkward as a Controller, but it handles pretty good and the Stick never wears out and yes i heard about that Guy who modded his N64 controller with a Gamecube analog stick.
Well done for recognising Goldeneye is overrated.
Turok 1 and 2 are far superior to 3. Play them properly without cheating, cheater!
Turok 2's objectives are essentially the same as Turok 1's. Find 5 children, or find five keys. If you don't find them all, you can't progress. So saying you can't get into turok 2 because of it despite enjoying 1 is unusual.
The Turok series' lives system is great in combination with checkpoints and save stations is great design, and the platforming really only problematic in one level (those goddamn pillars).
Yes, Duke Nukem's lack of music really lets the game down.
Eh don't worry about it...or delete your account
But...but...I like my account :(
teh2Dgamer Well should thot about that ealier!
BTW, you ever played Blood omen 1?
duke nukem 64 is horrible to aim
