UK mag Xbox World 360 has a 4 page feature on it this month. Click thumbs for a closer look.
I'm really upset about this. I almost starting crying while reading this stuff. If this is ever revealed to be an April Fools joke, I expect the entire writing staff for this mag to turn up dead within a week.
I think it looks great. A bit too much detail on the gound in the Dam, but atleast it isn't bump map hell like Rare's other 360 games.

It's so beautiful...
That's pretty disappointing that they were refused... I seriously hope that they change their mind and allow GoldenEye to be on Wii!
In fact, I'm going to support the cause and send an email.
God damnit, I'm gonna go play GoldenEye and be pissed off that this will never be ported.
-
See, if Rare or Microsoft hired someone with brains, they'd port Perfect Dark to XBLA (that's PD from the N64, not shitty PD Zero) and offer the GoldenEye levels as DLC. I'd sure as hell pay extra for the greatness. Or just replace anything Bond related with Perfect Dark stuff. Jesus, man! How stupid ARE these people!?
-
Sweet!
The rumor has been floating around for months now. It's nice to see that it's been confirmed. I like the fact that they seem to have left in all the animations, sound effects etc. from the original game. Wouldn't feel like GoldenEye without it.
Edit: So uh... wait, is the game cancelled all together or just on the Wii?

Cancelled. Microsoft tried to strike a deal with Nintendo to let them have it on the Virtual Console as well, but Nintendo are wankers.

Totally. Fuck nintendo and their not wanting their competition to get hold of one of their big hits.

The last I heard, it was still a rumor. First, Goldeneye for the XBLA was simultaneously announced and canceled (that was about a month and a half ago). Then this comes out. Is it officially canceled?
And Goldeneye for the Wii would suck. Goldeneye has horrible frame rate problems, and the Wii is weak enough as it is. Plus, they'd never allow a shooter up on the VC--it's Nintendo!
-
Ahh Golden Eye, good times.. :happy:
Anyways, it was looking good, and was this a remake? Didn't really think a remake would have been necessary, cool but not really needed, when the original looked good enough.
-
I don't see why this game keeps getting rumors of remakes. Why would they remake this game, when it was the fact that it was the only GOOD FPS game on consoles back then? Now there are plenty, and a remake wouldn't do the original any justice. It can't.
-
No, people. Not a remake. A port with updated graphics. That's all. Everything, including the glitches, are still there.
So, original GoldenEye, just new graphics.
-
Most console FPS games these days still don't hold up to Goldeneye, they had a much better vision of what a first person shooter should be than most developers at the time. NOLF was very similar in design and of course there's TimeSplitters too - So we aren't missing much if this isn't released.
I would much rather see a PC mod than a console port too...
-
I don't know I thought Goldeneye actually kind of sucked so I can't say this is very exciting.
-
@Mala: Faggot. :( But no seriously, same here. I never really found Goldeneye to be that good, even when everyone and their dog was jacking off about it.

You're lower than a paedophile. Suicide is the only option for you.

The article says that Activision was worried about their relationship with Nintendo if they were to release this. If anything, Nintendo shouldn't make threats like that. Not having games like Guitar Hero should be a bad thing to Nintendo, not Activision.
-
Yah I do agree that Goldeneye is totally nothing special. It was ok back then when it came out but has quickly aged and doesn't even hold the tiniest of candles to most modern fps games. It's (like again most things) mainly nostalga that people go on about it thinking it's perfect.

yep. now i don't need to say it.

Goldeneye Source looks much better anyhow and it's for PC.

apart from the graphics not being as good as in the screenshots from that Xbox article :/

I'm usually not someone who falls for nostalgia, but Goldeneye's aged very well, considering that most console shooters are pretty bad anyway.

It's still a mighty good game. I play through unlocking 007 Mode every once and a while just for the hell of it. The only issue I have with it is frame rate.
-
Speaking as a Bond fan, and never playing the GoldenEye singleplayer, I can't see why this would be exciting. There are far better Bond stories to draw on.

Who the hell watches Bond for the story. It's all about cars gun's and bitches
Also why even bother remaking it? Just port the damn thing! Shitty low-ply graphics are part of the charm with an old game like this.

The original graphics are in there. You can switch between them and the updated version while playing.

^Yeah, I was gonna say that as well. I was at a 'history of videogames' exhibition thingie in london a while ago and they had an n64 with goldeneye played rigged up. I used to LOVE the game when it came out...and when I tried it last year I got bored within 30 seconds. It just looked terrible and played even worse.
-
I read it for the story... Not much about guns and cars really.
As per videogames, I want to see Moonraker.
