They really should've just released this on the Gamecube, it was barely playable on the N64.

The XBLA version is the way to play the game.

Clear graphics, higher rez textures, two stick aiming, stable frame rate.

There are a few things that the N64 does arguably better, strafing and better weapon designs, but pretty negligible in the face of all the improvements.

How did they remaster the audio for that version? I doubt HD archives of the audiofiles remained, given even the richest studios during the 5th gen did'nt do that good of a job backing up their files.

Just getting to play the game was enough back then, and if you want to play it with a steady 60, that has been a viable thing for a long time.
GC Perfect Dark would have been cool though.

I mean, Bloodborne has a pretty terrible fps, and everyone is okay with that.
General rule of thumb is if you like a game, you deal with it. Maybe some people are weird and physically can't handle anything below a solid 60 or 30, but that's never been most people.

this is true. i remember we would all just sit there playing this and be amazed at how good the graphics were. it was probably the best looking game on N64. we never really noticed or cared about any frame drops and controls were great at the time.

Just don't play in hd mode, and if they waited it would have never come out since Rare was purchased by Microsoft shortly after. They simply would not have had the time to rework the whole game into the next gen GC or even Xbox before a bunch of the talent left the company.

If you were a child and only played console games, then yes I can see it not being a big deal. But me going from a beefy Pentium 3 machine with an Nvidia 256 playing Q3/UT anywhere between 25-40fps to PD on the N64 was a night and day difference. I loved Perfect Dark because of all the goofy customizing stuff Rare packed into it, but that game could turn into a slideshow at times under heavy stress in multiplayer.

I remember renting that game and just not vibing with it. There was some serious magic and love with every aspect of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark that EA could never produce.
The biggest difference? The staff responsible for Goldeneye under Rare WANTED to make a 007 game meanwhile Eurocom was just tasked to make it by EA.

Doubtful. It looks the same as Half Life 1 released in 1998. It looks almsot the same as AVP1 and looks worse than AvP2 somehow.
