is it just me or were they essentially advertising split screen multiplayer, a mechanic that is rarely used these days that is missed and useful but it is not something to base a game around

dont you worry, it has a very well fleshed out single player and online multiplayer, but when the nostalgics think goldeneye, they think splitscreen

HEY GUISE! No one's played it yet, so let's all say it's a bad game that should feel bad, even though none of us have seen anything more than a few trailers! That way, we can all feel extra smug when our friends buy it and it turns out to be pretty decent, despite our predictions!

YEEEAAAAH!

Dear Daniel Craig,
You have ruined James Bond by making him into a lame version of Jason Bourne who doesn't have any cool gadgets, any funny quips, or any personality. Please crawl into a dark corner somewhere and die.

-Yours Truly,
ReiverCorrupter
Dear ReiverCorrupter

Thank you for your letter.

I regret to inform you that your copy of the latest James Bond movies must have had a miss-print in the opening credits. I am an actor hired to play a character. I did not write the script, build the sets, or direct the movies. I feel your feelings must be directed towards the studio and directors of the franchise, and not the cast or crew.

Sincerely

Daniel Craig
Dear Daniel Craig,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I apologize for my over-zealousness. Perhaps I was a little bit too hasty. However, I must question why you were so willing to go along with what was such an obviously terrible turn for the franchise. And why could you not at least dye your hair? Though in your defense I would rather have a blond 007 than another ginger like Roger Moore. Please do not accept any more roles as 007 unless they revise the scripts to the point at which you are actually permitted to play James Bond. Also please tell Matt Damon not to try to act anymore.

-Yours,
ReiverCorrupter
Dear ReiverCorrupter

In answer to your question they offered me a vast sum of money, and, to be honest, I needed it. I was in TOMB RAIDER for God's sake! And did I get a sex scene with Angelina Jolie? Did I fuck. Now I've got more money and ass than I know what to do with. If they want to remake James Bond, and pay me by the fistful then let them. I've got my pick of classy Oscar bait roles now, and even if they replace me I can ride the whole 007 ticket for the rest of my career. Sean Connery was just some git with a Scottish accent, now he's been knighted, and it sure as hell wasn't for Highlander II.

If the studio wants to save on gadgets and hollowed out Volcano lair sets then that's fine and dandy by me. Also if they don't want to dye my locks then that just means I don't have to spend an hour in Makeup with tinfoil in my hair while someone touches up my roots.

Also a lot of people have tried to stop Matt Damon, but to be honest he throws such good Wrap parties that, to be honest, it's worth just sticking him in movies. You should try his Potato Salad, its to die for.

Hugs and Kisses

Daniel Craig

P.S. To thank you for your helpful career advice here's a signed picture of myself looking smug.

You, sir, win at the internet for life.

Personally, I will get this game, and love the hell out of it. I loved (and still play) the original GoldenEye, and, while this is different, at least they are making an EFFORT.

If you wanted a port of the original, why not just play the original? I understand some of you might not have it anymore, but what's stopping you from going to a swap meet, and buying a ~$10 used copy?

Second, just because Craig is in it doesn't automatically make it bad. Sure, I would have LIKED to see Brosnan there, but his likeness is trademarked (or something) by HIM. And Brosnan did not want to return to the 007 series. Besides that, as others before me have said, Craig did not make Bond "gritty", the writers/producers did. Craig just plays him.

Third, there is a reason why the game is a Wii exclusive, and why it is VERY different from the original. The original GoldenEye was a N64 EXCLUSIVE. Nintendo has SOME rights to it. However, Rare made the game, but is now owned by Microsoft. Nintendo and Microsoft would have both released a port of GoldenEye, but Nintendo would get the original, while Microsoft would get an HD port. Not to mention, the rights to the 007 game franchise belonged to EA, and now to Activision. Just getting GoldenEye out again is a freakin' miracle. Of course, Rare owns the levels of the original, so Eurocom can't just do those levels.

I am afraid for this game. Ever since the original GoldenEye was released, the newer 007 games have constantly been compared to GoldenEye. Even the great 007 games, like Nightfire, have had reviews end with "It's great, but it's no GoldenEye". Now that a GoldenEye game has been released, I am afraid reviews are going to murder this game.

All in all, I'm gonna get this game. It looks fun to play, and a good game in its own right.

It looks awesome. Oh dear lord it looks awesome! But will it be as well-remembered and have as historic a legacy as GoldenEye 64? I doubt it.

Dear Daniel Craig,

Make more movies like Layer Cake and Munich. Quit with the Golden Compass and Tintin fare.

Considering all the games that lack splitscreen, that would have had it five years ago, I'd say it's enough to base an entire game around. Why the fuck would I want to play faceless strangers over this whole Internet-thingy, when I can have ten times more fun playing the game with friends in my own couch?

Enhanced? Really? That's the word they're using instead of rebooted or remade? Or retried?

I second this. Between his terrible portrayal as james bond and the execs milking this franchise to death, I'm finished with the series.
