34 more days until the FPS of the year is released!

This isn't the GoldenEye that you played on the Nintendo 64... you may say that it's just Call of Duty with a 007 makeover, but it's clear from the released footage that BF3 has made a concerted effort to be more like Call of Duty, as far as the single player goes.

October 25th is going to be awesome. Especially as most of the retarded members of the FPS community will be busy pew pewing each other on Battlefield, like brutes.

Ye be trollin'

It takes precisely no intellectual gravitas or acumen to use an internet buzz word.

My apologizes, I mistakenly assumed a forum post as poorly thought out and defensive as yours was not genuine and you were merely hoping to excite the masses. Now that I realize your are probably 9 years old or suffer from post-stroke brain damage...

Your opinion that GoldenEye is the FPS of the years lacks both popular agreement and statistical support. GoldenEye's (former) fame can be attributed to the same key factor that shot Halo to stardom: lack of substantial competition.

Additionally, you harbor some illusion that GoldenEye contains the class and style of an actual James Bond film (implied by your pressed suit and martinis) which is a laughable notion at best.

Your reference to the rest of the FPS community being 'brutes' also puzzles me, due to the lack of tactical opinions in GoldenEye when compared to Reach or CoD (let alone a territory-control game like Battlefield). GoldenEye has always lagged behind regarding innovation and game variety.

Was that enough intellectual gravitas and acumen for you YesConsiderably?

GoldenEye 64 wasn't all that great. It was good as an FPS, but as a Bond game... not really.

Considering the gulf between PC & console gaming back then, I wonder how well Goldeneye held up against shooters of the time.

It was a very innovative title (although PC gamers would be cursing the "innovations" of stealth and escort missions for years to come), but just watching game play videos it's clear the controls aren't up to PC standards. Very clearly some cool ideas at play in Goldeneye and it really opened up the FPS genre in ways games like Doom, Quake, or even Jedi Knight hadn't...

But those controls would create a bit of a problem to today's audience. Take away the hardware enforced control issues, would the difficulty hold up? Doom came out before circle-strafing became the norm and a Cyberdemon fight was the most intense and difficult thing most gamers would experience up until that point... until they learned to circle-strafe and then they were punching the thing to death with zero difficulty.

As they say, the past is a different country.

I have two words to say:
Duke. Nukem.

Any questions?

Yes: Why is Duke such a dip-shit and why can't his creative team write a joke to save their lives?

Dunno.
What I do know is that Goldeneye will NOT live up to the hype. No chance.

Slow down there. You are calling Battlefield fans retarded for playing their game of choice but people who buy this aren't retarded? People who buy this are no more or less retarded than BF or CoD fans. At least they aren't buying a remake of a remake(ok same mechanics different maps).
