I had the original 3dfx card just to play Quake, but there were a number of things that still impressed me about Goldeneye.
- It ran on a console and not a $1000 PC.
- The game managed to go beyond what had been done in Doom and Quake, and actually have cutscenes that tell a story. Some of the cutscenes were super cinematic — especially for their time.
- Four player splitscreen was a hoot.
- louthy 8y ago> I had the original 3dfx card just to play Quake You didn't need a 3D card to play Quake, its software renderer was amazing in its own right. In fact, I much preferred the aesthetics of the software renderer over the blur-fest of the bilinear filtering on the 3dfx cards.
- ThomW 8y agoOh I’m aware. I wanted those insane frame rates. I lived in bumfuck Pennsylvania where high speed Internet wasn’t going to arrive for a decade, so I wanted something to make the game cooler. Haha
