Goldeneye Trailer

Looks great, except that they used Daniel Craig instead of Pierce Brosnan.

Nostalgia is a powerful thing, no?

Rofl.

I am sorry, but that looked like crap. I love how nintendo can throw a pile of steaming shit on the table, slap a licence and a promise on it, and walk away smiling as they hear their customers feverously muching on thier turd.

I hope you wont all be disappointed. but you will be.

here is what the original golden eye had going for it, THAT this one will not.
1. First person console shooters were not developed well, and previously not very popular. Golden Eye really figured it out and did it right.
2. It was the first to successfully integrate console multiplayer, but really it was the first console to support a console multiplayer experience because it offered 4 ports standard.
3. Console players hadnt experienced story driven FPS games.
4. Everybody thought it was revolutionary, which it was for consoles.

What this game has going for it:
1. None of the above.

What this game has going against it:
1. its on the Wii
2. Its competing with games that have taken the story driven FPS experience to a fine polish
3. it looks like its a sequel to Golden eye, but should have came out in 2002.
4. Did i mention its on the Wii?

I was gonna say that is sucks that it's on the Wii, but considering its a Nintendo game, I really couldn't contest it that much.

Wasn't the original the one where everyone had an oversized head?
Yeah.. I never played it much. I didn't have an N64 and didn't know anyone who did. I think I saw it maybe once... maybe played it at someone's house...

But I digress...
This looks idiotic...

1. It's on a console. PCs are the ideal environment for FPSers. Even XBox and PS3 would be better than Wii.
2. It kinda looks like it plays like damn near every other shooter out there...
3. It'll look like ass because.. it's on the Wii...
4. It's scale will suck since... it's on the Wii... (anyone play Force Unleashed on the Wii then another console? yeah... like that)

I wasn't even a fan of the original and I can see this looking like ass. If I were a fan I'd be SO pissed off.

Its so annoying when Nintendo releases crap, and its even more irksome when they make tons of money off of it.

I agree that I don't expect much from this. I remember when they claimed that Twilight Princess would be the best 3D Zelda they've ever made, but it wasn't even close to that. The aspects that made Ocarina of Time so successful were at the time renowned and what TP offered had nothing compared to it. Also, I've never seen a remake of a game in which the graphics look like it's still from the original console. I've also ditched Nintendo because they've managed to whore their legacy of Mario/Zelda/Metroid games to the point of nausea. I find it incredibly ironic how different the Wii is compared to other consoles yet their software is the most rehashed garbage, especially this generation. It's really sad because Nintendo was my go-to growing up and have a lot of great memories with my SNES and NES. Oh well.

I remember that, I suppose it's because Goldeneye had the same reaction from people in the same way Final Fantasy VII did.
It was the first game of that genre that a lot of people ever experienced, a genre that had only been limited to a smaller hardcore audience, even on predecessor consoles like Doom on the SNES.

I'll be honest, Goldeneye was the first first person shooter I remember playing, I love it immensely, but I do not consider it the BEST one. No, that distinction goes to Perfect Dark because it improved everything on Goldeneye AND had an original storyline.
But despite that, I want to see this game done well. I really hope it does do well, maybe Eurocom might actually put some effort into this, under the immense strain of nostalgia that exists on it.

But regardless, this thread's made me put my feet back on the ground and now I feel a lot better about being WAY more excited for Epic Mickey than for Goldeneye.

Here's my plan.

1)look forward to game (positive)
2)rent game (positive)
3)enjoy game (positive)
4)buy game (positive)
5)keep playing game (positive)
6)sell game when bored with it (positive)

as opposed to

1)discontented groan (negative)
2)get into arguments about why game is "bad" (negative)
3)never play game (neutral)

if we assign point values to these, I come out with 6, the opposition with -2, possibly -1.5 if we count the neutral as an "action"

as a gamer raised on the PC, then acquiring a console, I'll say that Goldeneye was a fuckton of fun, got my friends together and made the nights awesome. Was it the greatest game ever? Was it even all that great? Here's my answer.

At the point where the hallmark of a game is whether or not it was better or worse than another, you have completely lost sight of what good, fun gaming is.

I too grew up first playing Doom, Doom 2, Quake, DN3D, etc etc etc (slowly putting hand down my pants at how many old games i played). Here's what Goldeneye did.

You can play it with your friends. In the same room. Without a single LAN cable or network hub. Simple as that. This gives it its place in our hearts and minds. With that same calibre of action coming again to the screen--keep in mind that online play now dominates the multiplayer scene, it'll be a nice throwback to be able to sit down on the couch with three friends and run through Refinery like the old days, now with new tech, new designs and new ideas in play.
