I know I'm not the only one that thinks this will be a giant turd. Anyone that enjoys Goldeneye 64 enough to want a remake probably still has their N64 and Goldeneye. My recommendation is that you stay far away from this, and break out the original instead. I know that's what I'm gonna do instead of purchasing this abomination.
GoldenEye 007
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Aug 23, 1997
A first-person shooter for the Nintendo 64 and a video game tie-in with the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. It paved the way for a long line of shooter games based on the universe of the British secret agent and is often credited for helping establish first-person shooters for consoles.
Goldeneye 007 Remake Revealed, Exclusive For Wii
Could not be less interested. Those games should just die at this point. Seriously, I can't not explain my disdain for this.
I think developers who weren't involved with the original game should just leave GoldenEye alone, so that they can avoid tainting its legacy. I mean, I still remember Rogue Agent... and this seems like yet another giant cash-grab from Activision. And I'm not big on the idea of replacing Pierce Brosnan with Daniel Craig.
Those all seem like actors and I don't agree with them but they should port this to other consoles with better resolutions.
It looks.....surprisingly good?
I mean, the graphics could use a touch-up and some more attention but there's time for that. The stuff I saw looked pretty fun and I think I'll have a good weekend with a rental, at worst.
I really don't know what to say about this. Goldeneye was a great game for its time because it showed that an FPS could be made on consoles; remaking the game can only serve to remind us of that, and if this remake gets fucked up, it will only piss off the mounds of people who eagerly want this.
Now, I may be nitpicking with this, but replacing Brosnan with Craig, really? Maybe it gets around some copyright stuff or whatnot, but...come on, really?!
Oh man, I can't wait for this! I loved Goldeneye as a a kid..... but having Daniel Craig be James Bond instead of Pierce Brosnan is pretty crap
uhmmm is it gonna play like old school golden eye? cause if so it be terrible. That game is freaking more than a 10 yrs old! shooters have evolved so much. If it is gonna be new it should'nt be on the wii, that thing is barely more powerful than the original xbox..... i'm sorry but its one thing to make galaxies... other thing to make a modern fps. Then it comes down to motion controls..... the mouse will always be superior to any motion controls, and we all know the xbox/dualshock controller are also pretty good these days... no need for motion controls at all. Does anyone here feel like they have a lack of precision playing MW2 or halo or killzone on the console!? and again any PC gamers know the mouse and keyboard IS THE ULTIMATE WAY PLAYING FPS.
CMON man start reusing old dead franchises, make new innovative IPs for god sake.
"So what would you guys say if after all these years, they were remaking Goldeneye?"
"Yeah! Hell yes!"
"Now what would you say if we took the face of Goldeneye, a mister Pierce Brosnan, and
unnecessarily replaced him with Daniel Craig?"
"Oh... well i could live with that i guess. "
"Alright now that thats out of the way, what would you say if we brought Goldeneye exclusively to the Wii??"
"Get the fuck out of my face."
I would just like to inform people that the game will most likely be playable with the Classic Controller according to a Kotaku article.
There was already a new Goldeneye game. And it was crap.
Was interested till "The new Goldeneye will use current franchise star Daniel Craig." Now I know they're just gonna fuck it up. The graphics don't look like they've changed any since the N64 either.
" Hope they have License to Kill. That was my favourite mode. "Yeah they do have a license to kill...the appeal of the franchise.
Seriously why would anybody be excited by this it looks like a less than ordinary shooter by modern standards. I understand the nostalgia people have for the original game but this is just like the new Karate Kid movie in my book. Should not have been made and can only harm the name.
This doesn't sound like a great idea. I can only hope that they make the "Protect Natalya" part as big of a pain in the ass as it was on the N64. If they can nail that, the rest of the this game can slide.
IDK if anyone has heard of this, but there's a free Mod for the source engine in Beta called Goldeneye:Source, currently it only has multiplayer, but it's still freaking sweet. You can find it on Moddb
I don't know, there could be some nostalgic fun to be had. The first part of that trailer was pretty horrific, though.
