GamingNexus has posted an article covering the attempted port of Goldeneye to the Xbox 360. It includes a detailed timeline of events and covers exactly what may or may not have gone down.
BY WIL HARRINGTON: From GoldenEye to Fortnite, from Zork to Horizon Zero Dawn, gamers have long had a vast selection of great single player and multiplayer options. Is one mode genuinely better than the other or is a balanced experience between both best? Let us dive in, shall we?
Single player or co-op, I usually have like one competitive MP game on the side I'll play for a couple years, BF used to be my go to but 2042 sucks and I haven't really found a good replacement
I prefer single player but don’t mind a fun addictive 3rd person shooter like Warhawk and Starhawk
I miss that awestruck experience when I'd play BF4 in my ps4 for the first time, or the extremely defined classes of the bfbc games
Yeah I prefer single player, but I do like the way destiny let's you casually drop in to public events and leave whenever, don't like the crucible mind.
single player games
MP games are like work now with their seasons and battle passes. For most with family, work etc, there just isn't enough time to play
Yeah then you throw in esports and twitch and there is no way I can keep up. The kids are getting practice and watching film.
These days almost exclusively single player, but I have over 600 hours in Uncharted 4 MP.
Last thing I played online was Returnal co-op with randoms.
You know what? I could play Returnal again and I have 250 hours on it.
Single Player
Having developers create rich, lore filled worlds and giving us great single play driven stories always appeal more to me. When developers do multiplayer games it always feels the effort just hasn't been put into it, like they are expecting replay value and overall fun to come from gamers gaming with each other, especially with close friends.
Rather having a well crafted level that will capture you and draw you in they'd rather create a short generic like level which you need to grind over and over with your party. It's like they are hoping you are so distracted playing with your friends, talking amongst yourselves that you won't realise and when you finally do click on and start to get bored they'll flash a shiny new update or expansion in your face which really is just the rest of the game you WOULD have gotten it if was purely single player.
The reason for that is by playing by yourself you don't have any distractions and you are concentrating more on the world on screen. You then start to notice if the gameplay is short, repetitive, not fun, buggy, generic etc which is why developers have to try harder when doing single player games. I always feel that's why developers want GaaS titles because it doesn't mean more money for them but less work as you drip feed the game content.
Both.
I like tits growing games like jrpg and rage inducing games like Rocket League.
There’s been a lot of remakes in 2023 like Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space with plenty more on the way, and Kurt can’t help but ask: is this a good thing?
Nah, actually without a lot of these remakes I would forget why I loved gaming in the first place. So hard to just get a straightforward complete game out the box these days, remakes help fill that void considerably
no
there's hundreds of games every year
a handful are remakes
maybe it's because they are good remakes they stick with us
Not until we get
MGS4
Tenchu 1 and 2
SOCOM
KILLZONE 2
im sure there are other gems. These are a few of my favorites
I mean, Ive enjoyed them. So I cant sit here and say there's too many. For the most part they've all been very good remakes. As long they remain of high quality and people are buying and enjoying them, I think its fine. They help fill the gaps between new releases. This year alone Ive beaten The Last of Us Part 1, RE4, Metroid Prime Remaster, and Dead Space and I loved every single one of those games.
Compared to the abandoned 360 remaster, this re-release is a painful reminder of what could have been.
It still blows me away that Xbox couldn’t secure online multiplayer for this…. Like, why even bother then?
Both versions should've had cross platform online play, and both versions should have been the unreleased remaster, with optional original n64 mode.
It should have been the cancelled rare remake that was a total rebuild of the game but we got poor emulation instead
You can play it on PC via emulator and it's pretty good. The remake was shelved when Nintendo blocked it's release because it was Xbox exclusive at the time and Nintendo being part owner of the title wasn't having any of it.
The licensing right for Goldeneye are a mess.
win for ms i'm sure theres would be online and nintendo would of got a really bad port not a remake.I'm glad it got stoped this was a great game and most of the people that worked on this game formed free radical.The rare of today isn't the same great company that made the goldeneye that us diehard nin fans loved and remembered.Let this game stay a great old game.imo
damn son, look how detailed that walter ppk is...im playing it right now!
Goldeneye was developed by the same team that developed haze
:( o goldeneye........
It doesn't matter. 360 sucks.
