Goldeneye is tied up due to copyright problems I believe. Because you know James Bond and all that. "
Actually the copyright issue is between Nintendo and Microsoft.

I played this game a lot. I remember the bots being pretty advanced for the time. I had a lot of fun but I don't know if this game works in 2010. It is the future after all.

Is it totally crazy that I wish they would push this back to May so that it can be released on its ten-year anniversary?  Sure, I'd be waiting a few more months, but there would be something magical about downloading this on the same day, ten years later, that I bought my favorite shooter of all time.

No, the issue is in all the James Bond stuff - You would not only need the James Bond rights, but also the  likeness rights of all the actors and I assume you would also need the go-ahead from whatever movie studio Goldeneye was tied to.

Oh man, the nostalgia is hitting me like a ton of bricks. I played the hell out of this game back on the N64. I remember going through all the areas that they showed.
 
What's really tripping me up though is the re-done character models. The new Skedar and Mayans look pretty good (no black eyes for Elvis, though? Blasphemy!) but Joanna just looks so damn.....odd.

I love the obvious inclusion of the Goldeneye levels that got ported over to Perfect Dark. This is Rare's way of saying "Hey, we couldn't port Goldeneye, but we have AK-47's and the maps you wanted, so it's all good, right? Cool."

I actually bought an N64 and this game a few years back to see what the fuss was all about. I couldn't handle how bad the framerate was, so this might be the way to go.

Fuck, I guess you just had to be there.  Online gameplay for XBLA games always disappears really fucking quick. If they make any achievements based on multiplayer, fucking forget about S-Ranks later on.

I don't understand how Nintendo can let this happen, seems like a bad move from their part... I guess everybody have a price.

Doesn't look bad but Rare is running out of games to remake, though after SFIV resurged interest, I wouldn't mind to see Killer Instinct and/or Darkstalkers in this newer look. Granted I'd probably not to that great in either but those were the two fighting games while growing up that I thought were more interesting than the rest.

That's HD? I thought they would have put a little more effort into the game, like better models and explosions.

So many memories! Laptop gun, stalker missles! Awesome. I would immediately play this if all my controllers weren't broken :( So guess it's either getting new n64 controllers or a 360...

They've been thinking about rehashing PD from before SFIV was even announced.

Sorry but that's a bunch of bullshit.
 
N64
http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/screenshots/5/198275/perfectd_790screen015.jpg
 
XBLA
http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/66B597ED-73C8-4070-A7C2-41CD182CB4FD/0/simPerfectDark03.jpg
 
Not to mention it's Native 1080p and runs at 60fps rather than fluctuating between 15-5 fps. They also redid all the textures including the gun models and character models obviously.
