Rumored Goldeneye Live Arcade Video

Many know of the rumored Xbox Live Arcade version of Rares FPS classic "Goldeneye" which was released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64.

Now with various petitions spreading the interwebs to convince Nintendo and Microsoft to release the game, Rare has taken matters into their own hands.

A video has been uploaded onto youtube supposedly by a Rare employee showing the world what could have been and what can still be if a deal is agreed upon by Microsoft and Nintendo.

This obviously no texture mod.

this is far too inconclusive for me to accept. Anyone could have put this up. Clip brings back memories. This was probably my favourite golden eye level. He didnt complete all the objectives though. Hopefully it still makes live arcade i'd probably buy it for that

The only way to make it " better" is using the actually N64 code with updated GFX thats all.

I'm sorry to crush everyone's dreams.

I have this. It's how I played Goldeneye and Perfect Dark recently to relive some past VG experiences.

This is all running on an emulator, and upscaled. There is also a high-res model and texture pack hack on this.

These high-res packs also exist for Mario, and Zelda Ocarina of Time and make everything look defined and high-resolution.

Just google around and you'll find your way, it's against the rules to post links and info pertaining to emulation, and illegal roms.

3.1 - Then please explain.

The saving content to console messgae, or the B button thats clearly shown at the end of the video.

If this was a emulation with any kind of texture mod, it would not have ran so smoothly or at 60fps.

3.2 - LOL!

this guy is basically saying computer hardware isn't advanced enough to emulate a nintendo 64 game at 60 fps.
dude, people play UT3 at 60 fps.. emulators can do the same. it's not as easy because the code isn't native to the PC , but it's clearly do-able.
another hilarious fact is the so-called frame counter in the corner blinks a red 30 a couple times in the video, at the same time it says 60.. very easily proving that that isn't an accurate frame counter at all.. because you can't be at 60 fps and 30 at the same time
the scientist without a head at 1:15 is another nice touch.. hopefully the finished product has scientist heads all loaded in.

the red thing above previous is an interesting point, but at the same time that could be just about anything, i don't see the letter b on it at all...and it's kind of oval

No you can't have custom models in a modded rom. Obviously this has updated smoother higher polygon count models than the original Goldeneye, which isn't possible on a modded rom or texture pack. Try again.

I do think that BS Police is right, how would the emulation of ran at 60 frames per second (fps) while having a high res pack etc and I'm pretty sure this could of been the beta version of Goldeneye for the XBLA.

Buy a Wii? Its never coming for the Wii...unless it comes to the 360. Microsoft owns the rights to the game, so good luck with that one.

12 - This is NOT on 360, sry

It isn't true. Why would the guy post a vid like this to youtube? Plus, the graphics didn't look better than before. Maybe a tiny bit, but not enough to warrant it being a 360 version. It looked just like the 64 version. The b button at the end and the saving to content is edited in. sry. but if this was what they were going to mean by upscaled graphics, you can mod a xbox and get a 64 emu and rom and play it and it will be the same. If they were going to upscale the graphix, it would have been a whole heck of alot better than that. Plus, youtube has crappy resolution, period, so he wouldn't be showing off the graphics on a crappy site like youtube.

13.1 - They have never been confirmed or denied this game on the new consoles.

and it's fun as hell watching PS3 fans get jealous over an old game they can't play. Everytime this game pops up here on N4G it's 80% PS3 fans and you can read the jealousy in their comments, it just ooooozes with it. You have to admit there is an unusual amount of PS3 trolling for this game. All because of Rare and Nintendo and hey hate it that this classic will never see the light of day on their console.

Cast comes off next week BTW, but I still have physical therapy.

AndrewR - 665 days 1 hour ago

17 - After two weeks, I can't take this anymore...

Why are all the GoldenEye stories of late mostly blaming the project's demise on Nintendo? Since GoldenEye originally appeared on a Nintendo machine, does it not make some amount of sense that it should be released on the Wii instead of the 360? Why do Xbox owners suddenly feel that it is their right to have this game exclusively on Xbox Live? Because Microsoft said so?

I also believe that in the five or six years Rare have been at Microsoft, they have not come close to the continued success they had at Nintendo with GoldenEye, The Donkey Kong Series and Banjo-Kazooie. I hope the now departed Stamper Brothers are cooking someing up for the Wii.

Its got to be a fake I just learned that its not on partnerNET which is the developers xbox live and where everything gets tested on first so it would have been on there first. This means two things. First its a fake or second its only on rare dev kits and never got to the partnerNET stage.

I dont believe it,
I can emulate( everyone can ) N64 games in higher resolutions with advanced Filter plugins for Textures.

Emulators can render games better then the original if the plugin is written better and beyond the original I/O for GFX.

therefor i really think its fake.
Anyone should try it, even Ps1/snes/sega etc. games looked better on my pc then on the original[ well depending on the emulator and included plugins ].

DarkSniper - 665 days ago

Dark Sniper has researched this extensively. After looking at this video and comparing it to the original Nintendo 64 version. This game looks to be running on XBOX 360 hardware. From what it looks like, this game is not running off of an emulator of N64. It looks as if RARE stripped the rom and remade the game with subtle differences. The reason for Dark Sniper's belief is simply because if this game ran on an Nintendo 64 emulator, then legal issues would be implemented from Nintendo.

Please notice this picture Dark Sniper has found. As you will see certain things like the lamp being re-sized and somewhat completely different. The left is the XBOX Live Remake and the Right is the Original.

http://i30.photobucket.com/...

Also, Dark Sniper finds it peculiar that certain things in accomplishing the missions is slightly different, but enough for Dark Sniper to notice. Look at 1:43 of the video. It's the part of the game where you need to take a picture of the missle. On the original N64 version, you would need to promptly go to the pause menu and switch to the camera to take the picture. On this youtube video, whoever is playing switched from the plastique(another item that can be only equipped in the pause menu) to the camera on the fly. No pausing was needed to make the switch. Dark Sniper believes that this could not be done with a simple hack of the engine through an emulator.

Dark Sniper's conclusion: Real

$niper

20.1 - I understand what your saying and can agree with your comment but...

That third person "Dark Sniper" thing is just a little weird bro. I know I have teased you with it before but it's kinda creepy. I could understand if it was a joke but after reading your comments each day it's starting to creep me out. Like watching someone play in a puddle of pee laughing at an invisible friend or somthing. Thank god it's just an internet comments section.
