I didn't really think about this till now but I guess Sean Bean isn't going to be 006 either. This game is so weird.

Cos that might be a pretty good idea for a James Bond game.

It looks really good. Maybe the first FPS game on the Wii I actually like. Everyone moaning about the graphics are forgetting one thing it's on the Wii FFS !!

I feel like this is going to take on the aura of Modern Warfare 2 in the way that it will be absolutely impossible to take any sort of middle ground on this game. I guess it doesn't help that the advertising is banking huge on "remember that game you played on the N64?". Not to mention cutting Pierce Brosnan's Bond out of GoldenEye.

@Erkenbrand:  But the people that grew up with Goldeneye have graduated to more developed shooters. The genre has changed since then, and there's going to be no sense of nostalgia because they're changing the main character and the storyline. New audiences aren't going to want the game, either, because they could play any other first person shooter that's graduated since then. There's no point; it's not going to make money.

Seriously. Renaming it Golden Eye of the Phoenix or something like that would have been enough to make me more excited about this game. To simply brand this Goldeneye is nothing but an insult to the N64 game in my book.

@StickShifter05:  because graphics are what made the original goldeneye so great.  
Actually, graphics mean everything. Kane and Lynch 1 was a terrible game, but since the graphics were solid it's an A+ title.

Blah Blah Looks better than Goldeneye 2. 
 
At this point it's not even based off the movie but its own bond franchise. I'll still pick it up. I'm not expecting N64 Goldeneye, but looks a HELL of a lot better than what people are making this out to be. Also to anyone complaining about graphics.....ITS ON THE FUCKING WII!

Looks fine enough for me for a Wii game. I finished the N64 GoldenEye with everything achieved (after some long tense hours of replaying some of the levels over and over again). So I wonder how hard the game will be, if there's any extra's to win, are the many (sometimes) ridiculous "cheats" available and if the story holds up.. I will try it for sure.

So fucking what if its on the Wii? We know that. It still looks like a Dreamcast game. Look at Galaxy or even Modern Warfare Relex Edition to see what we should be expecting.

Not a single goddamn person in here seems to be judging this on its own merits. It's either "This isn't Goldeneye so it will fucking suck" or it's a play on nostalgia that has no right to exist, when the devs clearly gone out of their way to make it clear they totally reimagined it. I think it looks alright and it will probably be (one of) the best Wii FPS games. Stop being mad at this game for no reason or at least give it a chance before totally dismissing it. That'd be alright if it actually looked like a terrible game, but it doesn't.

Having never played GoldenEye on the N64 I can say that with no nostalgia- this game still looks shitty.

Based on what?  This is a Wii title that looks like a seriously fun and engaging experience.  Just cause it doesn't have normal mapped models derived from 1million tris doesn't mean the game is shitty.  This thing looks like a damned pile of fun.  I'm stoked about it. 
 
Oh and I can't agree more, please folks, forget about Goldeneye in the title, its a sad marketing stunt, but the game itself does look really, really solid.  I can't wait for this!  (hope to god it supports wii motion plus for accurate movements)

Looks like it has potential... too bad it is only one the Wii. MW clone or not, I'd totally play this on an HD console.

Wish they'd amped up the graphics and released it for the PS3 Motion... and kept the original actors to do the voice work and visual appearance...

What sucks is that there won't be a demo. I'm having trouble telling if I want this or not. Sometimes I believe it's a nice reimagining and other times I have trouble telling if it's only Bond in name.

It seems to me that they are using the Goldeneye name as a brand for a bond shooter rather than trying to remake the original game for a cash grab.  This is Activision we are talking about after all.
 
Seeing as how this looks to be first person only Half-Life style I'm hoping that Bloodstone will be more of a third person action shooter kind of like Mass Effect 2.

I'm undecided still. I get that it's the Goldeneye name and closely tied to the original story, with an upgraded bond. But how much of this is looks lifted straight out of the old game? Like level design, it looks like they are just rebuilding the old levels with more modern architecture. I'm fine with that, I just don't know if the game will be any good. 
 
If the MP is going to be anything like MW2 I won't really be interested. Also, if they're not remaking the original game, why are most of the local Multiplayer modifiers returning? Like paintball mode. lol Clearly they don't know what they are doing at the studio.

I don't understand those name drops (Half-Life and Mass Effect 2) other than first person and third person.

So true...all this hate is laughable at best because if they simply released the original Goldeneye with just a better resolution people would be whining about how it doesn't look better then the original.  Seriously,  people,  the originals level design wouldn't hold well by todays standards.   Grow up and for once be honest with yourselves.  This game looks INCREDIBLE (considering it's on the Wii) and it will with out a doubt be one of the highest selling games of all time on the Wii.  I for one am very excited for this and I have all platforms covered when it comes to gaming.  Unlike you blind haters,  I appreciate great games regardless of the platform they are on.

I'm alternately excited and horrified by this game. On one hand it doesn't LOOK like they're half-assing it, but on the other hand...Wii...Bond...FPS. God I hope it's all right.

Reviews will determine the fate of this game, but so far, it's not looking good
