I loved it. You loved it. For years we’ve asked for a re-release, a remake, or just another good Bond game. And while our pleas have so far fallen on seemingly-deaf ears, Activision is ready to answer our prayers this holiday season.
We took some time to tackle the retooled Nintendo Wii version of GoldenEye on the show floor and, as far as we can tell, this is your father’s GoldenEye, and we mean that in the best way possible.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Danish from eXputer: "Nintendo has historically gone against player-made content and emulation of its games. This has done much to harm the company's image."
They need to stop announcing these mods and fan remakes until they're finished. Finish it, upload it, and then if Nintendo dmca's it tough shit. Once it's online, people can share it around, even if the original download gets taken down.
This is all coming from the mouth of short-sighted fandom and grifting madness.
No.... it wont. There is a clear defined reason why they don't. This is nothing new. Make your own shi7 from your own original ideas especially if you are trying to capitalize of it it. Duh.
Yeah, hire people that have zero respect or understanding for an established process. Wow. Yep. Totally makes sense.
i have to buy this game even though cant stand activision.
same thoughts here
I won't even get close to this game, not because it will suck or anything, I believe it'll turn out to be great but I just don't like Daniel Craig as James Bond, it won't feel right for me giving the fact that I used to play the original Golden Eye all day long when it was released, Pierce Brosnan was THE James Bond in Golden Eye and I feel cheated for the change :(, I mean it's like changing Link for [insert current popular character of your choice] in a "remake" of Ocarina of Time. Yeah I know it's a fps and you don't get to see the characters face that much, but it's more than enough FOR ME to not get into this game. Anyone who grew up playing this game will know what I'm talking about, but like I said, I know it will be pretty good and a lot of people will enjoy it... just not me.
This game is one of my best memories!!!!!
If they remade the wizard of oz, do you really think they would cast judy garland as Dorothy again? apart from the fact she is dead, she would be older and times change, the audience change. They would cast a totally different person than they would back when it was first made.
Goldeneye is a remake, ok, Brosnan was the bond in that film/game but times have changed. There is a new bond. They dont keep changing james bonds character in the film because its cool, they change it because his character changes with the time. So to me, its no big deal its not brosnan, its still james bond! its not about brosnan, its about bond!
I think the game looks great. It would have been perfect if retro studios (metroid prime creators) had the license... i would have absolutely no worries. I think activision know the importance of this game.
