"A new Goldeneye has arrived," the trailer below matter-of-factly states, "so what are you going to do?" That, Mr. Trailer, is an awfully open-ended question. We imagine we'll stick to our usual routine of waking up at noon, then turning on whatever television station is currently running an America's Next Top Model marathon, but -- oh, we see. That's one of those rhetorical questions. We're supposed to say "multiplayer, of course," and then you show a bunch of clips from Goldeneye 007's multiplayer component. Sorry for the confusion.
Check out some new-but-familiar maps (hey, it's the Facility!), guns (hey, it's the RCP90!) and features (hey, it's Paintball Mode!) in the trailer posted after the jump. Or, if you're interested in the game's single player campaign for some reason, you can check that out in the nifty galleries posted even further after the jump.
@Cadattack123 Dude what are you talking about. If this game has good online (which I have my serious doubts), this could easily be one of the most fun games to launch in a long time. A friend and I played multiplayer on Nightfire SO much. I'm assuming this game would have even better multiplayer and hopefully a decent online. Sure the graphics aren't all that snazzy, but who gives a rip if it's fun!
@DarknessBear very true... lets just hope they manage to get at least the feeling of the original game.. ( but im almost sure will be totally different)
@VanNorden Why doesn't it make any sense? The entire game has nothing to do with the original Goldeneye. There are only a few (1-2 second) parts that resemble slightly the N64 version. Like dropping in from the vent onto the guy in the toilet stall - and then the rest of the level is completely different.
To everyone saying this version "rapes the game", have you actually gone back and played the original goldeneye lately?
Clunky controls, extremely poor multiplayer map design, fog everywhere, 10FPS in 4 player splitscreen...
What this game is, isn't a remake. It's a REIMAGINING. They're throwing in nods to the original game, making maps that are similar but much better designed, and trying as hard as they can to keep the "soul" of the game intact while applying 13 YEARS of first person shooter evolution.
@Marzz This game looks pretty awesome if you ask me. I know I'll be picking this up just for the 4-player splitscreen, that will be tons of fun with friends.
""Clunky controls, extremely poor multiplayer map design, fog everywhere, 10FPS in 4 player splitscreen... ""
wow really... i dont even know if i should take gamers this gen seriously at all or not.
you're comparing one of the FIRST popular multiplayer FPS on a console and all you can say is that its level design was bad because of some fog?? nobody knew how to make good balanced/level design maps back then, but even thats not what made the game awesome, it was the multiplayer experience in general
@DarknessBear have you researched this game at all? Most of the devs prefer the wii-remote nunchuck style and even if you dont you can play it just like all of the first person shooters of today with the classic controller. so yeah, it does have way better controls being on the wii. i think the default setup for the n64 goldeneye was aweful, cant remember which one i used but it was the one where you moved with the C buttons and aimed freely with the analog stick. killed everybody cuz i could aim and strafe at the same time.
Looks like they're implementing some sort of experience system like in the recent Call of Duty games. If done properly, it should put a lot of longevity in the online multiplayer. Let's hope it's as balanced as the developers can make it.
I suppose no matter how well or poorly the game does, the one thing you can't deny is the trailer music is great. I hope's it's somewhere in the game.
Also, I will be reserving judgment until I've played the game. I'm not expecting it to blow my mind, but I don't think it'll turn out to be crap either.
Good God, it's so ugly. I can't get past it. I have a Wii, somewhere. I loved Goldeneye... but God damn it I just don't know if I can force myself to want this. It looks shitty, even for a Wii title. It's like they're relying on everyone's nostalgia so that they can put out a barely polished turd and rake in the dough. I just don't know if I can support that!
Anyway, looks like an interesting concept. I'm looking forward to trying this game out. I doubt It'll be as good as the original was at its time, but we'll see.
Might as well get this if its any good, especially if its essentially like the original one, seeing as everyone says it was good(never played it before so can't say if it was or not).
and this is why I don't play the wii. graphics may not be important to nintendo, but they are to me...i'm not saying this game won't be fun, but shooters on the wii just seem like they weren't meant to be.
@SisypheanLife oh i get it. its a funny joke because you think shooters are only great on PCs. (sarcasm). shooters work pretty well on most consoles, but not on the wii. Just like how shooters will suck with playstation move.
So I might have missed the memo: In online, you're playing online with other people, but it's split screen, so you see all 4 people's screens? Or does it mean, 4 people are playing on that console online?
Will prob pick this up just for some classic multiplayer action. Used to play this 4 player split screen on a 19inch tv. This will look immense on my 40inch. Ah kids today don't know how lucky they are.
I'm sorry, but this looks terrible. The graphics look dated as hell, you know, if you believe in all that, and the mechanics of the guns makes them seem like toys - the 'click click' fire SFX are laughable and the bullet sprays don't seem to effect the environment or more precisely they don't seem like they make solid contact with anything at all. That's just shoddy, I don't care what anyone says. We're nearing 2011 and this is the best the developer can come up with? It reminds me of those cheap Goldeneye rip-off games - The World is Not Enough, Nighfire etc. I want a Goldeneye game like Crysis...actually, screw this, I'm off to play Crysis. I mean, if you're going to have sub-par graphics the logical thing to do would be to show some great gameplay elements in the trailer. Ugh, look at the slapped on layers....this just looks awful. The textures are poor for God's sakes. Total cash-in rip-off.
With eight million copies sold and a legion of passionate fans worldwide, the Nintendo 64 version of GoldenEye defined multiplayer gaming for a generation of gamers in 1997.
Now, a new take on the legendary James Bond adventure arrives with Activision Publishing's all-new GoldenEye 007, which was unveiled at Nintendo's press briefing, held today during the Electronic Entertainment Exposition in Los Angeles.
Developed exclusively for Wii and based on the GoldeneEye film, GoldenEye 007 gives players the chance to use the lethal, gritty style of Daniel Craig's James Bond to outwit, outmaneuver and overtake an arms syndicate that threatens the world in an innovative, modern take on the legendary GoldenEye movie adventure.
