Yeah the N64 came right at the transition from games being primarily 2d to many groundbreaking 3d games coming out. And they really struggled with the controls and other aspects of the games.
Like I was obsessed with GoldenEye when it was new. Perfect Dark made it irrelevant before GameCube was even a thing, just on the gameplay side, since the controls were pretty much the same. I have no interest in going back to either game at this point. Partially because of the controls, but even the more recent GoldenEye remake for PC wasn't very fun IMO, despite the move to the best fps control scheme (mouse and keyboard).
They had it more figured out during the GameCube era, at least to the point where I can replay Metroid Prime despite the controls (that game is still on my top games ever list).
I don't know what remake you are referring to unless it's the Xbox 360 cancelled remake leak with the Xenia emulator mouse+kb hacked build, but I can relate with the Perfect Dark decompilation PC port. Even with good frame rate and mouse+kb the game is too simplistic to hold my attention anymore. I can play Timesplitters 2/3 and 007 Nightfire instead if I want an old console FPS for some reason, they hold up better.
Trying to look for it now, I can't be sure what the specific project is called. It wasn't official, might be the same team that did the PD one. It only had multiplayer maps, extended versions of them, too, like that soviet library one was fully open when only a part of it was open in the OG game.
The two that come to mind are Goldeneye Source or the Goldeneye X project perhaps? I am curious regardless of what you find lol.
It had a playable release a few years ago, though it wasn't in a polished state. I'd have to fire up my old windows machine to see the install. For all I know they got killed off by DMCA or something (GoldenEye could have been targetted by either Rare/Nintendo or MGM, whereas PD would only be the former, maybe MGM is even more aggressive than Nintendo).
Apparently there is/was a GoldenEye decompiled that was way behind the PD decompiled project, too.
