The lack of HD versions is saddening...

El Botto5101d ago

Isnt goldeneye (the movie) like 13 years old?

I remember watching the movie in theaters with some friends.

The movie was pretty average and compared to a Bond movie, it sucked. Pierce Brosnan was a good 007 on paper. On the big screen, he was more cool than secret agent lmao.

And wtf is this about a goldeneye wii. Lmao what the fk. A 13 year old movie?

I assume they are talking about a remake. lol in this place and day, there is no place for goldeneye. If they are going to do a FPS bond, they might aswell make a new game instead of clinging on to the N64 prehistoric glory

Cheeseknight285101d ago

@El Botto

Honestly, Goldeneye as a movie was extremely mediocre. It's surprising that the game was better than the movie, and I really can't see how anyone can argue against that fact.

----

So far as a remake is concerned, I don't like it. Activision making it instead of Rare is almost destined to be an epic fail. Anyone remember Rogue Agent? Sure that was EA, but at the time they were almost as notorious as Activision is now.

lh_swe5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

Goldeneye the movie recieved high praise, it's also one of my favourite bond movies for me the two only propper bonds are Roger Moore and Peirce Brosnan.

Secondly why they would be remaking Golden Eye THE GAME (ring any bells?) is becuase of it's immense popularity and it's praise among many to be the best FPS. Just saying.

Edit- Most people were sucking their thumb when this came out so it could give them a chance to experience a peice of gaming history.

Legosz5101d ago

I agree. Now it's just going to look exactly the same... I think I will just stick with my N64 version.

asdr3wsfas5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

You apparently haven't played the n64 version in years. They have square heads and arms.

qface645101d ago

yeah not really because if this is true (which seems very believable since its activision and all) the game will most likely end up being a crap game anyways

Timesplitter145101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

It's made by Activision. If anything, they'll just destroy your childhood by changing everything that was good about that game and release a 15$ gloden Klobb DLC.

I also bet it'll be about Lt. James Bond (Daniel Craig, not Brosnan), a faceless American marine who must rescue the president from communist muslim terrorists who attacked the White House.

Thanks a lot Activision and please die in a fire

AAACE55101d ago

...But if it is, I guess they found a way around the legal crap that prevented the original from being remade!

multipayer5101d ago (Edited 5101d ago )

I'm pretty content with this http://www.moddb.com/mods/g... as far as multiplayer goes and it is HD...

If I was in charge of the bond franchise though, I'd be super pissed the gaming industry isn't pimping my new shit. It's not like they are even capable of outdoing the original goldeneye game. Preempted fail.

mal_tez925100d ago

Goldeneye was freaking awesome, but shooters on the wii never work the way you want them too.

I'd rather play it with regular shooter controls than with the wiimote. Hopefully classic controller is supported

I think this is a joke. True Activision owns the Bond license for any potential Bond game except Goldeneye which was done by Rare. Rare is owned by microsoft. I heard a rumor about a year ago that one or two of the original guys that worked on the game, and that are still with Rare had upped the graphics significantly to run on xbox 360 and they had a finished version to sell on live, but they had to make a deal with nintendo because it was on the n64 system back in the day to share the profits but the heads at Nintendo balked at the idea of sharing. They should think about the fans craving this awesome old school shooter. Look a lot of people claim Halo to be the 1st person shooter king, but they forget if there was no Goldeneye there would be no Halo

PirateThom5101d ago

Yeah, but the story and characters aren't owned by Rare. Activision can effectively build a new Goldeneye game ignoring Rare's and, basically, sell it on name. The story, the characters, even things like mission objectives can be carried over and there's not really a lot anyone could do to stop it, if they do build it from scratch.

Might be good, might suck. We just don't know.

LtSkittles5101d ago

the survey says with Daniel Craig. I don't own a Wii, or 360, but it would be beyond awesome if they could work something out.

The Lazy One5101d ago

It depends on the judge you get. Simply remaking something doesn't mean you aren't breaking a copyright.

I can't remember 100% of the details, but I think M$/Rare own the goldeneye game, but Nintendo owns the distribution rights to the game or something like that.

NewNameNow5101d ago

If it IS made then I hope they do replace Pierce Brosnon with Daniel Craig, he's a way more cold-hearted bastard and an all around better bond.

Ripyealip5101d ago

i havent even seen a good 007 game this gen. whats up with that?!

lh_swe5101d ago

That the new Bond movies aren't all that great, they aren't even bond movies now, where are all the silly gadgets, cheesy one liners over the top villains? It's become just another bunch generic action movies, good but not really in the Bond spirit anymore.

CaptainPunch5101d ago

What are you talking about Casino Royale was really good. Why can't they just leave Golden Eye alone, they can't recreate the success of the game with a remake it just won't happen, Rare made the game and now it's owned my Microsoft.

lh_swe5099d ago

Yes Casino Royale was good but it wasn't Bond, sure he has the cool car and he gets the girl it was way! too serious, the villain wasn't over the top, hardly any cheesy gadgets (I can't remember any) and he can't deliver the suave that Bond is known for, so despite it being a good action movie it wasn't a good Bond movie.

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman7d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath27d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai12d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga12d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole9d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville10d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5212d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville10d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM12d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka11d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_12d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
