    GoldenEye 007

    Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Nov 02, 2010

    GoldenEye 007 (for the Wii and Nintendo DS) is a re-imagining of the 1997 Nintendo 64 classic of the same name (as well as the 1995 movie it was based off of).

    So will it live up to the one on N64?

    It kinda just looks like a generic shooter with a James Bond skin on the Wii right now. It will be very hard to relive the magic of the old game or live up to the hype. You all saw how the other Golden Eye game did.

    Especially considering it looks like it will be sold as a full price game. 
     
    Goldeneye should have remained on n64 or as a neat little XBLA / VC game, but I think this will be like the conduit. A middle of the road wii shooter.

    I doubt it, it doesn't look bad but it doesn't look anywhere near Goldeneye.

    @Brunchies: ya, it looks like just another shooter. Not good, not bad, just average. Which is not Golden Eye

    @JJOR64:  They sure did make the best COD games. 
     
    Sigh Nintendo, sigh. I blame Activision for that though.

    Goldeneye just had that special feel to it where back in the 90s everyone played and it was the first multiplayer game a lot of people played. We dont need it again its a good memory and now this will ruin a memory.

    They would have been better off just releasing the 64 version in the Wii store.   Its nice for nostalgia but after a few min. you will realize how dated it really is.

    Not the first time someone tried to make something new out of Goldeneye.
     
    Everyone would be better off with N64 version ports, but that version is owned by too many competing forces.  So noone gets to enjoy what they want.

    Whats with all the hate? Is it because it's on the Wii? Because it's made by Treyarch? Give the game a chance, you never know, it could turn out brilliant.

    Far too much hype to live up to. The ridiculous auto-aim will be adjusted from the first as well so people will complain about that.

    You can't remake a cultural phenomenon because that was yesterday's success. You're going to have to top it.  Somehow I don't see this happening with this game.
     
    While details are still rather weak, one example of a yesterday mentality is the split screen multiplayer. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but most serious shooters have moved online. If this is not online, it's going to be like The Conduit all over again.
     
    Aside from that though, until we see whether they're going to do a 1:1 copy of all the previous GoldenEye levels or is it going to do more, will we get new weapons/ways to kill people (death traps), and whether it has good controls (YOU HAVE TO MOVE AND SHOOT), I'm reserving judgement
     
    Oh yeah, and lets not forget Rogue Agent.

    No. Nothing can. That game is better in people's minds than it actually is now because of the moment in time it existed. The world has moved on. No one wants to play Goldeneye again. They just think they do.

    Just saying, Perfect Dark on XBA was fun, but not that much fun!

    Probably not. Eurocom would have to work miracles to meet inflated expectations. I completely expect it to be better than rogue agent though. Man that game was bad.

    Well considering there was a fair amount of gameplay in the trailer i think people can do what they want.
    Its obvious the graphics and gameplay are different, they have also added in different characters (Daniel Craig), and now apparently the story is not the one from the game or the movie, its plot is completely different but the levels will be in similar locations. I think thats enough reason for people to be angry. This stinks of another Rogue Agent to me

    No. Absolutely not. Never. 
     
    I don't need to read any impressions from the show floor to know that this game is just abandoning the feel of the original and making it like every other FPS today, only with the name slapped on just to get people excited. 
    And I have actually been playing the original game for more than a week now after buying it from a used game shop, so it's not just memories that I'm basing my thoughts off of. The technical limitations of the original aside, Activision is ignoring the gameplay system and framework that not only made THAT game great, but its successor Perfect Dark great as well, just to make linear, checkpoint heavy gameplay with regenerative health. 
     
    Weird. Normally I don't want to hate a game so much. I normally choose to not care, but this...I can't help but feel angry. It's like I just want to crash the excitement of whoever's actually looking forward to this, and show them what Goldeneye really is, not just based on memories. Even if that ends up making me a bit of an asshole.

    Somehow I'm slightly comforted by the fact that it has classic controller support. I just can't see myself doing split-screen with three other people waving their remotes around beside me.

    And no, it won't live up to the N64 one because everyone still looks at the old one as if its still to this day the greatest FPS ever made, and they played that one to death for years.  Even the slightest change, and people will bitch because, well, it's the internet and that's what whiny-ass fanboys do.
