SubDrag

@Graslu00 There might be an unlucky kid ages ago who did it, but we won't be able to verify hah.

Now I can officially say that I'm the first (?) person to 100% GoldenEye N64 on the UltraRacer 64. 😎

You probably know that if you shoot Mishkin or his guards at the end of Statue they will execute Natalya. They have no objection to you slapping them a bit though.

@goldeneyedepot @SubDrag I’m pretty sure it was Mark Edmonds who made the iris doors work. I will have probably tweaked them.

Caverns originally used a Bunker door as a placeholder before the cool doors with the 12 pivoting panels were made. According to developer Duncan Botwood it was @drdoak who got them working. 🚪

@goldeneyedepot @dr_janusmd It ran out of allocated space to hold all the loaded room data, so had to unload some.

@dr_janusmd Let me ask @SubDrag because he knows better than me. Am I saying this right that when the rooms stop rendering it's because they are being unloaded from memory? Or are they still in memory but just not being rendered?

On Frigate the doors on either side of the bridge are locked. If we use the Setup Editor to unlock them, then open them, and open other doors, we see that this overloads GE's portal system and causes rooms to unload. This probably explains why they were locked in the first place.

In Dam the guard towards on the dam are numbered 2, 3, and 4. In Facility the platforms in the quad room are numbered 2, 3, and 4. Where is 1? Did the GoldenEye developers just hate the number 1? We need answers.

It's official! GoldenEye 007: Disrupt Surveillance Equipment, is officially released TONIGHT. Thanks to @Graslu00 and @AdzyIn3D for the debut livestreams this weekend, where over 10,000 viewers have seen it so far - now, you can play it yourself! #GE007DSE n64vault.wikidot.com/ge-misc:disrup…

3DOS v1.2.3 available now. See the full change log below and update your Analogue 3D here: analogue.co/support/3d/fir…

@Musical1250 I really didn't like the character model/face changes. The aiming sensitivity also made it unplayable.

What are your thoughts on #PerfectDark #XBLA? Did you prefer it over the original #N64 version?

@goldeneyedepot I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with those Bunker doors. The fog changed heavily in almost every level. So many subtle details. I guess the overall FOV is different, in every screenshot? Menu combiner deltas. Lots more...looking forward to your analysis.

In the future the individual level pages in the Prerelease section will analyze these screenshots. There are tons of interesting changes both major and subtle.

The site's Prerelease section has been updated with a gallery of 130+ screenshots! These shots come from a site called MundoRare which has been offline for many years. There's much we don't know like who took the shots, when, or why. Glad they did though! #mundorare" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">goldeneyedepot.com/prerelease#mun…

@goldeneyedepot That's probably something different about every single shot if you look close enough.

@goldeneyedepot That's a good point actually. Are there any other prerelease screenshot with missing pads?

If we look at where the oil drums were in the GoldenEye Setup Editor we see nothing. Other removed objects show up as unused presets - big red boxes - but these presets were completely removed. If not for the screenshot we'd never have known the oil drums existed. [5/7]

This prerelease screenshot of Control is found in a Swedish catalog of N64 games. It shows a number of differences from the final game including hanging lights, lack of hand on the PP7, a different door, and oil drums. Ignore the brown blob at bottom that's Brosnan's head. [1/7]

@SubDrag I have those. I'll start work tonight on making a gallery in the Prerelease section so they're all available.

@goldeneyedepot I thought all these promo shots were part of this dump: web.archive.org/web/2008011804… The wayback machine sadly doesn't have the screenshots...I know somebody has to have that saved...I must somewhere hopefully too, but struggling to find.

@goldeneyedepot I mean we've been dreaming about it since 1998...seems unlikely. Unless maybe some old GoldenEye devs kept some old builds in the chaos back then.

GoldenEye article from Nintendo Power issue 92, January 1997. Shows prerelease shots of GE and they also say they were sent a cartridge of the game. Is it possible that this build of the game from ~9 months before release still exists? 🤷‍♂️

@goldeneyedepot These are works of art. Impressive. Statue especially.

Cool illustrations of GoldenEye levels from the French Magazine "64 Player." Link in reply if you'd like to peruse the whole guide.
