GoldenEye Remake

[SaiKar]

Accusations of trolling be damned I'll just go ahead and ask - by chance was this your anatomical reference, Lucas?

I hadn't been paying close attention so I checked the release date on the new version of that:
GoldenEye 007   Activision      11/02/10   US

... tomorrow?!

Also, he never asked for art reviews of any kind, ya know, so you're all to blame or none of you are.


EDIT by lucas: Don't kill my thread.
This one is now about the goldeneye remake thingie. Yeah. Go.

The game's being remade?  God damn.  I should pay more attention to these things.  Or not.  I never played the original (Once a PCfag master race always a PCfag master race.), so I don't have much to be excited about.

Wii exclusive. It's also not a perfect port, it's more of a recreation. New bond, new scenario, new levels (although it has a fair amount in common with the original). It has a lot to do with the rights confusion. Nintendo, Rare, and Activision are all claiming ownership of the game, and they're all technically right. Nintendo published it, so they have a claim. Rare developed it, so they have their claim. Activision owns publishing rights to Bond games as of right now, so they have a claim. There were a number of attempts in the past to work out a three-way deal, putting a high-res port on the Wii and Xbox 360, but things weren't working out well. In the end, Activision proposed an idea with Nintendo to release a game with the same name and most of what made the original fun, but they had to make a different game to prevent legal issues with Rare. It's unfortunate for Rare that they've been cut out, but they were offering the most difficulties in the original plans.

TL;DR

It's not a port, it has the new Bond, the scenario has been changed, and it's a Wii exclusive (all for legal reasons).

And also apparently for the DS for some wacky reason. Actually, if the DS version is any good, I might be more excited about that. My TV isn't so great so I don't enjoy wii games too much, but I play the DS everywhere and it's always the right size.

SPLIT THREAD.... !!!!!

*shakes a fist*

I have a TV from the 80s and I still enjoy Wii games on it.
And personally, unless the shooter in question is Resident evil where you have to stop to aim - I prefer Wii or PC.

And I read about this some time back and hopefully they won't screw it up like Rogue agent....

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Really. For a gaming related forum, you guys are slow when it comes to games.

[Zerlina]

I remember this game...

...I really sucked at it.

[Valiere]

I couldn't get enough of proximity mines.

The rocket launcher, however, always seemed to get me killed.

[Zerlina]

Why do I get the feeling you'd kick my *** at this game, Val?

[SaiKar]

The original Goldeneye was the first video game I was notably good at. I put out a standing challenge at my school - 1 vs 1, challenger gets to chooses map, weapons, and scenario, no oddjobs. I actually had like 3 or 4 people I'd never met take me up on it. It was pretty awkward sometimes. Did win them all though. Yeah, I played the heck out of that game.

[Zerlina]

Yeah, I played the heck out of that game.

And I played the heck out of your mom but you don't see me bragging.

[SaiKar]

Is not that exactly what you just did?!

[MissingName]

Great.  If only I had access to a Wii or DS, I'd be happy.

Anyone remember Slappers Only?

[SaiKar]

How could we forget? Slappers only + License to Kill mode = more arguments in my friend's basement than any other moment in 7th grade.
