This thread is for advanced players who speedrun the game with the default dual analog control which fixes the dreaded strafe running glitch and makes the game much harder. It also makes it way more realistic since now Bond runs like an actual human instead of a crab in a diagonal, and cant outpace the tank in the streets level by using his secret crab like abilities. It also fixes the tank controls which are mario kart like with dpad, where the tank moves faster when it turns instead of slowing- another effect of the glitch.

Here are some of my best runs:

Since Goldeneye has been released last year on XBOX One in Full HD glory and with dual analog controls, I have started playing the crap out of it and have even set a few records on it- which do not compare with the existing ones because straferunning. I never tried speedrunning the N64 version because I just couldn't stand the straferunning glitch which all these legendary speedrunners use to run 40% faster in a diagonal. They are literally playing the crab out of this game. For me it completelly ruins the game and I find no enjoyment in playing that way, like a secret crab like agent.

Fortunately, this crab like glitch has been fixed on the Xbox version with dual analog controls, and Bond is now running like an actual human does. Forward, not in a diagonal and facing the walls all the time.

(I mean looking down all the time, like most of these speedrunners do to get better fps. Another issue which the Xbox version has fixed, because the framerate is terrible everywhere you look. But it's still better than on the N64, which is just horrible)

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter because DPAD still has this stupid glitch on XBOX, and speedrunners instinctually go for it instead of the far superior glitch free dual analog control. Sure they may be faster, but that's because the archaic controls which they use are extremelly glitchy and combine lateral and forward movement resulting in a higher diagonal speed, and they exploit this glitch and mash two buttons together to gain 40% more speed. Which is a bit like cheating if you ask me- of course if you use a buggy control scheme which allows way faster movement by simply pressing two buttons you will be that much faster- but it's just not fair to use it. So for those of us who like playing the crap, and not the crab out of this game, and want to set speedruns at the default running speed of the game, not at 140% like these crab like legends do, can we have this new category please ?

P.S. Given that the mods are crab like legends, I guess not.

P.S2. No one can beat my records anyway, except EliDark who beat one of my 5 world records. He got Facility 00A in 0:57 with no strafe running, I can't get below 0:59.

Hello you absolute legs, since Goldeneye has been released last year on XBOX One in Full HD and with dual analog controls, I have started playing the crap (not crab) out of it and have even set a few records on it- which do not compare with the existing ones because I don't cheat like these legs do. I never tried speedrunning the N64 version because I just couldn't stand the straferunning glitch which all these legendary speedrunners use to run 40% faster in a diagonal. They are literally playing the crab out of this game. For me it completelly ruins the game and I find no enjoyment in playing that way, like a secret crab like agent.

Another issue which the Xbox version has fixed, because the framerate is terrible everywhere you look. But it's still better than on the n64, so why would anyone play that version in a much lower resolution, lower fps, and with glitchy controls ?)

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter because DPAD still has this stupid glitch on XBOX, and speedrunners instinctually go for it instead of the superior glitch free dual analog control. Sure they may be faster, but that's because the controls they use are archaic and buggy and not because they are actually good at the game, as they exploit this glitch and mash two buttons together to gain 40% more speed. Which is a bit like cheating if you ask me- of course if you use a buggy control scheme which allows way faster movement by simply pressing two buttons you will be that much faster- but it's just not fair to use it.
