What's the historical significance of goldneye? I know it's well loved, but I don't really know the context.

The first successful console FPS. I guess it's notable for creating a mostly usable gamepad control scheme for that type of game.

The first FPS with a usable console control scheme was the first Halo on the original Xbox.

Except that's a lie, goldeneye had a control setting for two controllers meaning dual analog, same as we have today.

Goldeneye had the same controls, it just wasn't the default.

C-Pad was used like WASD and the stick to look.
