If those devs didn't have the extra time to be creative, we might not have gotten this classic. (lemmy.world)

Seriously. That other multiplayer first person shooter on the console was MUCH better. I can't remember the name though... Any idea what it was?

Perfect Dark. Also came out after. Goldeneye was revolutionary, everybody played it. Any house I went to, we played Goldeneye.

Perfect Dark wa great, but Goldeneye seemingly scratched the itch for FPS amongst casual gamers at the time, and so it was never as popular.

Halo CE

That came out four years later.

Yeah, just mentioned it because it's really when console shooters went mainstream.

I don't know what it is but if it's a multiplayer PFS then I bet it came out after Goldeneye
