    Looks great but I will need to read a couple of reviews to see is it worth the money (it is published by actavision after all :rolleyes: )

    Yes the new goldeneye looks good, but i dont think it can match up to the n64 version thats just a great around all over game

    Goldeneye on the n64 is one of the greatest games of all time, especially the multiplayer

    Was one of the best games ever made. It's just dated so badly now compared to newer FPS games that it's nigh on unplayable. It's why I think that it needs the massive make over that eurocom are giving it because if it was released now with only a graphical make over it would get rightly slated in reviews. Just remains to be seen if they can do a good job of it and make it match modern FPs games.

    Goldeneye might not hold up to the new FPS games, but its hardly fair to compare it to games released over a decade later. I know where youre coming from, it has aged quite a bit, but its still a great game. As console shooters go its not far behind the newer ones in my opinion. Only thing that would have improved it would have been a keyboard and mouse :D

    I think it's perfectly fair to compare it. A bad game is a bad game even if at the time of release it was ahead of the pack. I can easily go back and play old FPS games like Doom, Duke 3D, System Shock 2 or Half-Life and still have fun because they are all still excellent games but Goldeneye is horrible to play now. The low frame rate kills the game and there's some horrible design decisions like respawning gaurds, hit and miss stealth mechanics that only almost work and some terrible levels like the Tank level and protect Natalia level that have since been eradicated from modern games because they were never any fun.

    Jaysus the memories. I went back to play it a few years after I completed it and all of the above is true. Choppy framerate, irritating gameplay and respawning enemies topped the list of annoyances.

    I think Duke 3D plays horribly now too, but I still love the Duke (even from the original Shareware game!)

    The bold, italicised, underlined bit... Have you played COD4? :pac:

    I think given a HD makeover and a smooth framerate, like the one that they gave Perfect Dark, the game would be given a new lease of life, and I for one would love to play it again. My proudest ever gaming achievement was completing Goldeneye on all difficulty levels, and unlocking *most* of the cheats (the proper way, before the code to do so was revealed.)

    The original was probably the best game on the N64. So many goldeneye multiplayer parties :D

    Haven't played my Wii since SMG2, but am going to dust it off for this game. It's gotten some decent previews so I think I'll go ahead and prepurchase it this week :)
