What was the first game that did console FPS right?

[NuclearPenguin]

Now, I know DOOM and such was released on consoles, but I mean console exclusives.
I dont really know of many early console FPS' so i'd have to go for Banjo-Tooie-
(It was Third Person normally but multiplayer and certain sections were FPS. And this is what game did it right, not what FPS game did it right.

banjo tooie is an FPS?

Wasn't Banjo-Tooie third person?

 

[QuirkyTambourine]

Goldeneye isn't it? I'm pretty sure it was N64 exclusive and still a staple of many a drunk night in college.

I could be wrong though, I was only 7 when it came out, so anything before it is pretty hazy to me

I thought it was halo but I don't know much about FPS's more recent than about '06.

Goldeneye.

I really don't think there's much of a contest.

I agree

Personally, I have yet to see an FPS that doesn't (in my opinion) suffer from being on a console. But I seem to recall that Goldeneye for N64 got a lot of acclaim for being semi-functional that way, and then the original Halo for xbox (duh) built well on top of that.

This.

Goldeneye was and still is the best FPS ever.
In my opinion of course.

And using Oddjob is still a cheap ass tactic that will result in me punching whoever chose him in the face. No exceptions.

No, but the multiplayer and certain sections are.

Wasn't Banjo-Tooie third person?

Yeah, Goldeneye was a solid FPS. Although the N64 controller was monstrously retarded.

Banjo-Tooie had a few first person shooting sections where Banjo uses Kazooie as a gun.

Goldeneye managed to irrefutably prove that FPSes were better on consoles.

 

[Zykon TheLich]

Goldeneye of course.

 

[ADeskofRichMahogany]

Goldeneye. No question.

I laughed so hard at this it nearly killed me! Yes, I do enjoy it taking a good second and a half to turn around.

I think it was Halo. as much as I despise Halo, and all its fan-boys. I think it did so well because it did things that had worked in PC shooters, for console gamers. It made the FPS available to someone who couldn't afford a high-end gaming rig. So in that sense good On em! Doesn't mean I have to like it.

This, definately this, sooo this.

I know this forum's community hates Halo with a white-hot burning passion but, Halo because it did make FPSes popular not to mention Halo 3 was the first FPS I ever played and introduced me to the genre.

In fact, Banjo-Kazooie came out first, didn't it?
