    Fuckin' Oddjob!!! If you play as Oddjob you're a terrible person and I hope you skate into an AIDS tree. 
     
    Other than that, the game looks pretty good.... except for the split-screen. I forgot how chaotic that whole thing was.

    I'd definitely be interested in playing this, trying to go back to the N64 control scheme just doesn't work for me anymore

    Graphics are laughable, and Goldeneye just doesnt compare (for me anyway) to more recent games. I have much more fun on Cod 2 than I ever did on Goldeneye (multiplayer, the singleplayer was always crap on Goldeneye.)

    I never wanted a remake of Goldeneye nor a new Goldeneye, so I could care less...I really don't feel these games aged all that well either. However, I'm sure goldeneye fans will eat it up.

    Precisely.  I have one answer; they know the new Bond movies suck and making a game out of them will be lukewarm at best.  But, if they milk peoples' nostalgia they will BANK.

    Not sure that I have a reason to be excited for this. Activision is clearly using the license to cash in on nastalgia, if the game actually proves to be good then I'll be surprised.

    Why are people getting excited? The reason the first one was was so good was because RARE was behind it.

    I'm glad its a remake. If anyone was hoping for a new goldeneye game look no futher than Goldeneye 2. Which was okay but not what people wanted. To think that people Don't want a remake of this game is to only kid yourself.  
     
    It is kind of wierd about the whole daniel Craig, but I think it's copyright reasons involving James bond or the actors. Much like in the original game there were models for Sean Conory, Timothy Dalton and Roger Moore, but were not actually playable unless you used a gameshark to unlock them.   
     
    As for controlls, it could be okay, I mean to say it would have been better to put it on a traditional controller would be fine... same could be said for the Perfect Dark remake. Which has the option, just not the default. Besides, it's probably going to be a lot better than the N64, controlls. Honey Scheme FTW.

    Ugh. Its a totally different era now. As a "new" game, even as a re-make this is ridiculous and way out of place.
     
    This would have been fine as a downloadable classic game on the 360 or something (I realize that probably wouldn't happen being Nintendo and all, though it was Rare) but as a "new" game to get excited about during the Holiday's in 2010? Yeah, no thanks. Going a bit too far.

    I mean, their remaking a video game based on a 13 year old movie and replacing the original starring actor with someone who wasn't at all involved with the film.

    Goldeneye was garbage and only for console noobs who did not have a Fucking PC to play  Unreal or quake 2 or a real First person shooter on the PC.


    God that game sucked hard the only thing worse was Turok.


    MAking goldeneye suck more than it already did is tuff to do but it looks like they have i give them an award.

    Did they even get any of the guys who worked on the original to come in on this one?  If they didn't what makes this any different than that other crappy game that tried to capitalize on the Goldeneye name a few years ago?  Plus, Wii FPS controls?  NO THANKS!

    As much as I would like a true Goldeneye remake, this is not what I want.
     
    I have nothing against Daniel Craig, but randomly replacing Pierce Brosnan with him makes absolutely no sense. Also I don't want a re-imagining of the game, or whatever the shit this is, I want the same damn game, but with new fancy HD graphics.
     
    Blah.

    Can't see how this goes well.  I did love the single player in the game - from what I recall it was one of the first games with multiple difficulties for each mission, alternate objectives, and a ton of unlocks, in addition to cool gameplay - but there's no way this can compete with modern shooters from the look of it. 
     
    And except for nostalgia, the multiplayer doesn't have anything going for it.  I'll hole myself in the bathroom of the facility with some proximity mines once, but after that I'd much rather play Halo, MW2 or pretty much any other game.

    Daniel Craig in Goldeneye will just seem...weird.  I don't know.  Do we still get Sean Bean?  Anyways, it will take a lot to make me care about this.  I loved Goldeneye back in the day, but shooters have gotten way, WAY better since then.

    Hey man, I played Goldeneye last weekend, and despite the gawd awful graphics, the game played pretty well. Sure, it's a pain in the ass to look up and down, but you hardly ever have to do that anyway. 
     
    So I guess what I'm trying to say is up yours, pal. GoldenEye is the bees knees.

    I was playing games like Quake when Goldeneye came out. I understand why people love the game, but to me it was a FPS with horrible controls that got by because most of the audience didn't have anything to compare it to. In the last 10 years we've seen that FPS controls can be done well on consoles. Are they as good as they are on the PC? No, but they still work extremely well. Unfortunately, I have a feeling the controls for this new Goldeneye game will be like The Conduit's. Once again, Goldeneye will be a game with lackluster controls, but this time the audience will have a better frame of reference from Halo and Call of Duty. We'll see how it goes for them, but I'm not hopeful.

    This must be the reason why the XBLA version had been cockblocked by Nintendo. The N64 version was split among Nintendo/Rare/Bond license holder. By featuring Daniel Craig and remaking maybe they're getting around the part Rare owns.

    So I'm assuming this is running off of the Wii port of the CoD engine. yes? This looks similar to the Quantum of Solace game that Treyarch did. 
     
    Not shocked that they replaced Brosnan with Craig as they would have had to get the rights to use Brosnan and they already have a Craig model ready to go. 
     
    Saddest part though is that this is quite possibly the last time we'll see Craig as Bond unless MGM gets their shit together fast.

    Loving the silly people hating on the best shooter of all time, original Goldeneye.
     
    I'm hesitant about this remake because something just tells me they won't do enough to modernize it and it'll end up feeling a bit lackluster.
