Thread: Daniel Craig is starring in the remake of GoldenEye 007

    Default Daniel Craig is starring in the remake of GoldenEye 007

    YouTube - Golden Eye 007 - James Bond | OFFICIAL E3 gameplay trailer Nintendo Wii

    Judging by the trailer, all I can say right now is that it looks much more exciting than Quantum of Solace: The Video Game.

    This game is demonic because it is what stymied Goldeneye 64 being released on the XBLA.

    You can't blame them for that, because it probably is a pain in the ass, to make three versions of the same game for three different consoles.

    They ultimately choose the Wii because it's a Nintendo console and isn't that where GoldenEye started? With the Nintendo 64 instead of the Sony Playstation? It might seem like an inconvenience to you, but the developers obviously decided to make the GoldenEye remake come full circle with a Wii exclusive.

    Besides the Xbox 360 and PS3 are littered with first person shooters. Going to the Wii is the only way the new GoldenEye can stand out.

    The reason for Craig being 007 in the new version is simple:

    They lost the rights to use the likeness of Pierce Brosnan as Bond in Bond themed games.

    It's probably coming out on the Wii because it's going to be , and will blend in a bit more with the rest of the Wii gaming catalogue, so nobody will notice its shoddiness. You heard it here first.


    there was a picture here

    Goldeneye 64 had pretty much already been refurbished for the Xbox 360 by 4J, and essentially just needed a “Yes” from Nintendo to release. Nintendo said no. So yes, I can blame them for that, and I will.

    dWell, it does look pretty good but it'll be a miracle if it turns out above average. It's activision, they don't care about video games.

    I can't believe the kids geeking out in the beginning of the video. I can still pick up and play Goldeneye 64 but even I'll admit it doesn't rank anywst shooter of all time. Most influential, biggest impact yeah, but you don't need to go far beyond counter-strike and team fortress to see it's nowhere near the top of the list. Still, now that Free Radical's (the guys at Rare who actually made Goldeneye and Perfect Dark) with Crytek I'd like to see what they come up with over there, that's actually a game I'm looking forward to.

    Honestly Nintendo's just trying to score their own Call of Duty, while most of us will probably just prefer to keep playing the real thing.

    According to IGN, apparently Activision is just the publisher, the development team who actually made it, is called Eurocom.

    Well, Activision is a publisher with many subsidiary development studios, and it looks like Eurocom is one of them. Specifically, one who handles licensed games.

    It's already starting to look bad!

    I wasn't paying attention to the forum section. I just clicked on the thread.

    I think you should wait until the game comes out and at least rent it from Hollywood Video or Blockbuster before you pass judgement on it. Because how hard is it for Activision/Eurocom not to get GoldenEye done right? I mean they got the original GoldenEye as a smurfing blueprint, all they have to is duplicate the original gameplay while updating it at the same time. How hard can that be? I mean, is Activision really so incompetent that they can't do a simple remake?

    Well, I said I thought the trailer looks good, and I'll probably play it when it comes out but I don't have a Wii and even if I did, I would boot up my PS3 or PC if I wanted to play a good shooter.

    As far as remakes go, I don't think it'll really be a simple remake. For one, I know they can't use "The Complex" level in this game because Rare/Free Radical own the IP rights to it. I'd imagine they have to supplement some stuff with other things and there it can go wrong.

    Not to mention you're taking a game with outdated controls and porting it to a motion controller, of all things!

    But pessimism isn't my thing, so I will reserve judgment until the damn thing comes out and I'm blowing stuff up. All I'm saying is that Activision does not care about video games.
