First of all thanks for bringing Goldeneye to XBOX Gamepass, but I think there could be some improvements made by future patches. For example, this game has a huge bug or glitch where if you select DPAD to move the diagonal speed gets increased by a massive 40% for no reason. While I know this happened on the N64 version too, this bug/glitch appears to be patched when using the default dual analogue controls, and only occurs when using DPAD.
I dont think this is normal, and you should patch the DPAD controls too if you patched the analogue to have the same speed in a diagonal- as it is on every XBOX game basically.
Obviously the diagonal speed should not increase so much just because DPAD is selected. It should remain exactly the same as it is with the default dual analogue controls. This DPAD diagonal glitch also affects the tank controls by making the tank move way faster when it is turning while moving forward. While with dual analogue it is slowing down ! So one who plays with DPAD will not be playing the same game as one who plays with dual analogue, since the controls are so vastly different and way easier with dpad due to this increased diagonal speed glitch.
Please fix this bug because it completelly ruins the game, and it makes most players play with dpad in order to achieve better times, especially in speedrunning. This is why all my speedruns done with dual analogue are not even ranked because all these noobs use DPAD instead and run like crabs in a diagonal all the time, beating my times by many seconds despite having no ideea how to play this game, simply by cheating as they artificially increase their diagonal speed by a huge amount compared to the the default dual analogue controls which have the same speed in a diagonal.
GOLDENEYE'S DPAD CONTROLS ARE BROKEN
Re: GOLDENEYE'S DPAD CONTROLS ARE BROKEN
To give just an example I did this Streets speedrun with the default dual analogue controls:
https://youtu.be/hE3j8p4Fo1c?si=qlBYi0577-8ah2jN
This is obviously a world record for XBOX with the default settings, but it cannot be ranked even in top 100 on any speedrunning site because all these cheating crabs use the broken Dpad which increases the diagonal speed by 40% and then simply run on foot way faster than the tank. So basically any noob can beat it simply by switching to Dpad and running in a diagonal, the skill required for doing that being exactly ZERO. And then they are glorified as legends, when they are just cheater noobs. The whole gameplay of Goldeneye elludes them completelly, as this level was clearly designed for the tank and not for the crab, its just hillarious that they actually think that this was the way the game was meant to be played. When its obvious that it's just a terrible glitch, because if Rare wanted Bond to move so fast they could have simply increased the max forward speed by 40% instead of only increasing the diagonal speed, and they would have not even bothered to include the tank in this level at all if Bond was so much faster on foot than a 50km/h T55 tank. Wouldn't you agree ?

Re: GOLDENEYE'S DPAD CONTROLS ARE BROKEN
Now I set a new Streets record on Xbox with dual analogue:
https://youtu.be/8qUVGrCm-co?si=p8N_JTCupRj_qATO
But of course it doesn't count for the speedrunning sites cause I'm not running in a diagonal like an idiot with the stupid dpad, and am actually playing the game as it was intended by the XBOX developers who fixed that stupid diagonal glitch with the dual analogue controls. But they should fix the dpad too, as it is obviously broken and it is in conflict with the default controls of the game.

Re: GOLDENEYE'S DPAD CONTROLS ARE BROKEN
So you are you going to fix this bug or not ? It is really simple to do, all you have to do is set the DPAD's diagonal speed to match the forward speed and never exceed it, just as it is with the dual analogue controls. And like it is on every Xbox game.
A golden rule of any game is that it should not have CONFLICTING CONTROLS, or ERRATIC CONTROLS, and I dont understand how you could release this game with such erratic DPAD controls by the way, dont you have beta testers ?
These obvious in your face bugs should not make it into the final version of the game- even if they were in the original game (RARE has the excuse that back then beta-testers were erm...rare). We're not in the 90's anymore, and no one plays games in a diagonal- unless they are crabs or goldencrab speedrunners.
(But they have the N64 for that, or even the Switch, why do they need the Xbox version too ? I say fuck them, if they don't like the dual analogue controls then they should not play this game on Xbox at all. Because the main feature of the Xbox version which you advertised is exactly that- the updated dual analogue controls ! That is exactly what they don't like. Because their crab brains cannot conceive to not run faster in a diagonal, after doing that all their crabby lives. They literally have the IQ of crabs. They can't even accept that it is a glitch/bug to run faster in a diagonal, and instead claim that it is a 'game mechanic' which they fix by using DPAD, while others mod their controllers or use aftermarket controllers and then LIE that they can straferun with dual analogue with the stock controllers (as one of the speedrun.com moderators did, and then banned me for calling him a cheater and a liar), and tell me that the only reason why I can't do the same is because 'your analogue aint fully extended'
Yeah, because I didn't mod/hack my controller fatso. And they dismiss all my speedruns because in their limited crab view playing this game with the default controls means I made up a category just for me, as if I made up the dual analogue controls with the same diagonal speed. They are incredibly limited individuals and they should not be taken seriously by any serious game developer.)
