Goldeneye 007 remake confirmed

There was a rumor that Goldeneye for the n64 was being remade on the wii this year. It was confirmed today. It could end up being **** but I loved the n64 version so I'm still excited for it.

 

Here's the trailer:

I still play the N64 version here and there. [Project 64 FTW]

 

This one will never top the classic one, since they are obviously going to introduce new things to it. I probably won't end up buying it, especially for Wii. (Wii fails.)

 

What they should have done is made the original version for PC and have added online multiplayer.

Completely agree. There's no way it can top the original. I'll probably rent it first to see if it's worth a buy. There is online multiplayer added btw.

I wouldn't even glance at the title if they didn't include online multiplayer, but what I am wondering is why the developer ultimately choose the WII out of all consoles for a game of such probable epicness.

 

:wallbash:

 

I am sure they would have a lot more success if they released it for all platforms, or just Xbox or PS3 independently. (Playing GoldenEye just wouldn't feel right without a proper controller.)

[Danee]

Lol even if the re make is the exact thing its still going to be good. The n64 version was one of the best games I've played back in the day.

[Big Alex 67]

i mean its only the first/best first person shooter ever

[Mark]

They're gonna ruin it

 

 

I was not impressed by the Perfect Dark remake and I loved both those games on the 64. Still have them actually

 

i mean its only the first/best first person shooter ever

 

Not the first or the best in my opinion

One of the most iconic and influential at least.

True, if you ask any oldschool console gamer they'll all recall GoldenEye as one of their old favorites.

 

Personally I liked Perfect Dark a bit more, mostly because of the variety of weapons/maps and the addition of bots which there were so many with near customizable properties.

 

Even the single player was way ahead of its time as far as controllers go. Did you know in Perfect Dark single player, you could configure your controller settings to use 2 controllers instead of 1? 1 in each hand? The same way we have multiple joysticks and triggers on modern controllers, you could use 2 N64 controllers.

 

Have you ever played it?

Yep. I love both but I've just always been a bigger goldeneye fan. They're both great games though.

[Ryan-]

doubt it will even be close to the n64 version, i loved that god damn game

[Jonah]

cod is better

[Mark]

cod is better

 

I should hope so, they had over 6 years to improve upon it

[Volt]

Yeah Mark, Perfect Dark holds my heart.

 

But they'd better make Goldeneye better than they remade Perfect Dark.

This is what pisses me off the most. They're going to get some cheap excitement off of remaking Goldeneye and generate a lot of sales, even if they make a ****** game. It's tarnishing the Goldeneye name and any FPS on the Wii is going to be 'OK' at best. I mean, what made the first one so great was because it was one of the first great competitive multiplayer games, it was extremely fun, and most importantly it was an innovative FPS for its time. This is why the game was so successful and to remake the game and add a few gimmicks is not innovating at all. What makes current FPS games so great is that they build on the success of previous successful FPS games and the legendary ones (such as the old Goldeneye) always try something new, an innovation to make the genre even greater. Look at the primary console FPS games being played now: Call of Duty and Halo. Both series have innovated the way FPS games are being played right now. Goldeneye for the Wii is just going to be riding off its name and will just be an insult to most gamers. The graphics look disgusting compared to the current popular FPS games. All the new things being added (which I saw from the preview) have already been done such as assassinations and online play (which is horrible on the Wii). To be quite honest, Counter-Strike which was made about 10 years ago makes for a better modern game than the new Goldeneye will be. If they were going to make a serious attempt at making a great FPS game they wouldn't make it Wii exclusive, that's one of the most retarded things I've ever heard. I'm very disappointed that they aren't taking this opportunity to make a great game and Nintendo is ripping off the gamers by making a ****** game. There's a reason the last great Nintendo FPS games were on the N64 (Goldeneye and Perfect Dark) and that's because the Gamecube generally steered away from this (and lacked online play) and the Wii was created for a totally alternative style of games. I'm not trying to bash Nintendo, they make great games, just not FPS games.

 

ps: I don't hate the Wii I just think it's the absolute worst platform you can make an FPS on. Some of my favorite games are on the Wii. It's just that the PS3 or Xbox 360 would both be much better choices and they aren't even as good as PCs when it comes to FPS games.

[Jonty]

you know why they call it a wii?

 

because you see it, turn 360 and walk away.

Close but not quite :whistling:

[Ryan-]

[Big Alex 67]

shouldnt it be a 180 since 360 is a complete circle?

[Hitttaa]

groundbreaking.

[Mark]

*late on the joke* :whistling:

[Beau]

Dun dun dun.... Dun dun dun... dun dun. Wii games dont support shooters like goldeneye at all.

Nintendo has been pissing me off ever since the Wii came out. Before they wanted to make good games...now, they desperately want to beat out Sony and Microsoft, and the quality is taking a hit (sans Super Mario Galaxy (2))

[Azrael]

No ******* way. Goldeneye was such an awesome game back then. I just hope it's better than the other N64 remakes that have come out like Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

[Tyler]

Malak: Conker's Bad Fur Day was the ****

 

The aiming on the N64 version of Golden Eye was sooooooo terrible. If they fix anything, just please fix that lol. The auto aim feature didn't even hit the person that often.
