GoldenEye 007 FAQ

Q: Why are you looking at the ground?
A: Looking at the ground and sometimes at the sky, reduces lag due to the N64 having to render less stuff on the screen

Q: Where's the usual timer?
A: ILs (Individual Levels) of this game are timed with the in-game timer, and it's been that way since the game came out. The only way to see your time is by finishing the stage, or by quitting out.

Q: The in-game timer does full seconds, how are World Records dealt with then?
A: WRs can either be a Tied WR between few or lots of people, or it can be an untied record, where only one person has the specific time on that stage. If you go to this page you can see all the records for all the stages and difficulties. https://rankings.the-elite.net/goldeneye - If you're still confused as to how The-elite.net's ranking system works, you can check out RWhiteGooses video on it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d45YIf6-igw

Q: So what's the goal here?
A: Play to improve and have fun! The goal and what i am going for is on screen. I usually don't set myself goals, but with this game it's very easy to set small stepping stones, and chip away seconds at a time. As for the goals to get the specific times in the actual game, it varies from stage to stage. I'm a scrub currently so i will be playing a lot of easy levels on the Agent difficulty. Usually this implies getting to the end of the level as fast as possible with maybe 1 objective or so in the way. You can always ask if you're confused about what's going on.

Q: What does 1.x / 2.x control style mean?
A: In GoldenEye you can actually play the singleplayer mode with 2 controllers, and that's what known as 2.x control style. On some levels it saves time playing with 2 controllers since you can start running at full speed in the opening cutscene of the levels (About 0.3 seconds). I only have 1 controller currently so i will have to settle with 1.x control style.

Q: Are you on emulator
A: No. The-Elite doesn't accept emulator runs since it's horribly innacurate to console. I use an RGB Modded N64, Upscaled to 720p with the OSSC. Thanks to Sk84uhlivin for buying, modding and shipping the N64 to me.

Any other questions you feel are common feel free to let me know and i'll write them down.
