Trailers: GoldenEye 007

[righthanded]

Looks like another competent shooter. I'd like to see how it compares to the original, which I consider to be one of the greatest video games.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

Seems like a good reason to me. It looks pretty much the same from what I can remember. Don't understand where all this hate is coming from.

Possibly because Christopher Lee(Scaramanga), Richard Kiel(Jaws) and Harold Sakata (Odd Job) all reprise their roles.

Graphics look disappointing but other than that looks like it could be decent.

 

[mindlesspuppet]

It's being made for the Wii... so it looks dated before it's even released. Seems pretty pointless.

Plus Daniel Craig ruins it.

Don't let nostalgia fool you, my friends! Look closely and then watch the trailer for your current favorite xbox/Ps3 Game. THIS game is nothing short of laughable compared to the xbox and ps3's efforts. If this is the best the wii has to offer, that thing can keep gathering dust in the corner...

Oh good sir, you have opened my eyes! well, actually... you have opened my eyes to the fact a WII EXCLUSIVE has worse graphics than an Xbox/PS3/PC release would, and literally fuck all else, since you have nothing to say about the gameplay. Shock horror, the graphics aren't as good. Who gives a flying fuck about that? I wish this was coming out on other platforms, because it looks, genuinely like some modern-day fun with the old-school shooter formula.

Oh, and who genuinely cares if we don't have the same old low-res face of Pierce Brosnan in this title? does the presence of Daniel Craig really make it worse? what's next, complaining that the dialogue isn't done entirely in text like the wonderful dream-like magic days of old?

They already appear to have taken ludicrous liberties with the rest of the game, and Craig isn't the one who decided that new Bond should be grittier, is he? No, he's just the actor who plays him as the people in charge want. It's a shame that some Bond purists direct the hate at this guy when he's just the face of something the studio decided on. It's not like Craig was the one who said "hey, let's make it all serious and dark!" he was just the guy who got the call that said "Hey Daniel, we're making Bond all serious and dark! want in?" and he said "being a professional actor, I will accept this role, because it pays well and I think I can handle what they're asking of me".

Completely agree with everything in your rant!
I played the original to death, and i truely truely miss the oldschool shooter formula.
Cover systems, health regeneration, "visuals over gameplay" ruined shooters for me.

I like the updated graphics (it looks great for a Wii game). I like that it reprises 4-person splitscreen. As for the gameplay... well we'll see.

But I'm not going to judge it for not being able to use Brosnan's likeness, or being an exclusive Wii title when the original was *gasp* an exclusive N64 title... Bond is bond, and 99% of the time you're not looking at the character's face anyway.

So if it has N64-Goldeneye maps, with updated graphics (and better aiming, oh god did I hate the aiming on the N64 controller), then my curiosity is piqued.

Quoting before before their own post is silly.

This is a remake. There's not much to be said about the gameplay. Thus the only thing to really comment on is the graphics, these graphics already look like they are from the previous generation of consoles -- if not worse. Which begs the question, why remake it at all, as opposed to simply porting the old Golden Eye.

I don't like Daniel Craig, I'm pretty sure this is okay, I am allowed to have an opinion after all. I don't blame he for the direction of the new Bond movies, I know he's just an actor. That being said, actors do have some degree of influence over how they play a role, they act based on their interpretations of the character, I don't like his, that simple.

 

[-Ulven-]

They could have tried to hire in Brosnan... it looks wierd with all the original characters except the protagonist being in the game...

 

[Chewster]

Yeah, I don't know about this one. They've been trying to make this particular brand of gold lightning strike twice now, for quite some time. They came close with Perfect Dark, but all other attempts have ended poorly, for the most part.

 

[clockout]

They should have just ported 007 Golden eye onto xbox live, but noooo, Nintendo had to be assholes and keep it for themselves. Well at least XBL got Perfect Dark. I wish Rare would make more viedo games =(

 

[ReiverCorrupter]

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,

Aside from the ludicrous plot Perfect Dark was a far superior game. It had more depth and options than any game I've played before or since. Now everything is about graphics so no one is going to make games with 60+ weapons that all have second abilities, or co-op AND counter-op. Those were the good old days when developers cared about the quality of their product.

 

[Cosplay Horatio]

Oh man, that looks gorgeous! I really wanna play it very much but sadly no Wii to play it.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Looks quite fun. The graphics aren't the best, but I am interested in seeing what the games are like.

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

What in God's name possesed them to only release this for the Wii?

Possible licensing issues? Nintendo was the publisher of the original, so they main retain some rights to the name.

 

[Raikov]

Daniel Craig. Daniel fucking Craig. This is not GoldenEye. This is... GoldenEye Christmas Special or something.

Hey! Why not reboot Halo 1 but the with the story written by M. Night Shyamalan. Or Half-Live with Kratos as a scientist.

Shame on you.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Looks like a vintage bond game, in both good and bad ways.

The good way is that it looks like a pretty fun shooter, the bad way that it's hideous.
