Polygon:
"One of Microsoft's most interesting announcements from this E3 is Rare Replay, a collection of 30 Rare Software games spanning the past 30 years, all available for just under 30 dollars. And while many of Rare's most iconic franchises appear in the collection — the Banjo-Kazooie, Perfect Dark and Viva Piñata franchises are all represented in their entirety — one of the company's most well-loved games of all time is absent: GoldenEye 007 on the N64. But why?"
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
As Microsoft takes popular Xbox exclusives to other consoles, James Bond FPS Goldeneye 007 should get similar treatment on PS5.
Maybe it is time to just let Goldeneye go. People keep e-begging for this game and it came back in various iterations; remastered and original and in the end it was just meh. The game was a product of its time like Perfect Dark and Timesplitters.
Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.
Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
I'm sorry but if you ask any gamer what Rare's great game ever created is, I would have to say a good chunk of them are going to say Goldeneye. Regardless if it isn't Rare characters or Rare worlds.. it's still fricken Goldeneye. No reason not to be there.
That being said the Rare Replay is still an awesome collection.
Not even Sony can keep distribution rights for James Bomd movies, you think Microsoft would try to wrangle these rights for one collection
What? Nobody is asking that. Everyone knows why. Pointless article.
Perfect Dark was better anyway.
*RUNS*
I don't get it...So instead of coming out and saying that it may not have been economically feasible to ensure the license of GoldenEye, they chose instead to practically badmouth their own game, and one that so many hold dearly, as one of the best examples of a first person shooter on a console.
