The fight to bring Golden Eye 007 to XBLA continues...

http://mundorare.com/news/2008/10/one-last-martini-to-goldeneye/

Yeah, it was the 1st FPS I've played, and I find it crazy that these guys can't get along, then again, they're greedy.

Here's a video of the XBLA version of Golden Eye 007 with better graphics, it brings back memories:

why is this game rated so highly?

it sucks

Why bother bringing it out for 360?

people will be thinking:

should i play goldeneye or cod 4?

goldeneye will never get played.

You obviously never played in in it's heyday on the N64.

And it will be an arcade game. Not a disc release. So it's more like "Should I play Goldeneye or Doom?"

1. Yes i did play it in its "heyday". it was nothing special.

2. I know it's not a disc release. doesn't mean you can't choose a disc game over it.

If you played it back in the nineties, then you would at least acknowledge it as being a revolution in console FPS games, even if it wasn't to your taste. I still don't think you played it, or at least didn't complete it and play multiplayer a lot.

And why would you compare a £40 game to a £10 one? That's just silly. Obviously the £40 will probably be bigger and better. But many gamers will just want a game that's good value for money. That's why xbla is so successful - it has many high quality, cheap games that appeal to casuals and the hardcore alike.

Nostalgia is not a dish best served cold. This game was amazing during it's debut and consequent years, but I doubt many people will truly enjoy it after all the improvements that have been done to FPS's over the years. It might be fun for a little while, but then you'll remember there are other games as well.sToK3d

I agree. It would be nice to have on XBLA for some people but why people want the game so much confuses me. It was a great game when it came out and for a while after but FPS games age much faster than RTS, Platform, or RPG games do. Like you said I'm sure it would be fun for a little while but what would keep us playing it? Most of the people who want the game to come out can just hook up their N64 and play it, I don't know why they want to pay for it again.

All of this because of incorrectly filed paperwork

If the licenses were transferred correctly none of this would be happening right now.

I see your point... But I really enjoyed playing through some of the old N64 games on my friend's Wii. I completed Ocarina of Time, Mario 64 and Paper Mario and they were every bit as fun as they were back in the day. I also plan on getting Banjo Kazooie for xbla next month.

I don't car whether or no you think ive played it.

and i wasn't comparing the 2 games. i was comparing how much a gamer would want to play each of them.

I want the game so bad. Let's get Perfect Dark while we're at it.Mau-Justice

Nintendo really does rub me the wrong way on this one. We've been begging for a VC release for a long time, if allowing MS to have a graphically updated remake is the way to do it, THEN DO IT. If they think graphics aren't what matters, but game play is, then they shouldn't get hung up over the XBLA version looking better.VegetaJr

Your sig made me lol hard.

I would rather have graphics than a ****** control system. What's the point of gameplay when it's horribly executed?

That's what I mean, I would still play those games you mentioned because they were great when they came out and are still great. I bought Paper Mario on my Wii and played Mario 64 on the DS recently, I might pick up Banjo too. But those are the kind of games I mentioned that age well. When I played Goldeneye the first time I liked it because the controls worked well, I liked how you could aim and shoot certain parts of the body, all the weapons, I liked the short parts where you had people fighting with you, it was one of the first console shooters that was done really well, and if I had people to play with I would have enjoyed the multiplayer. None of that is hard to find now in newer games.

Sign that petition, it might help.

And no one would play Goldeneye? Even if we do have Halo 3 and COD4, there are still people who claim that Goldeneye is the best FPS ever. Many people would play Goldeneye, especially if you gave it online play.

Oh, and I think Nintendo and Microsoft should put the game on both consoles. The Wii version would more than likely be untouched and the 360 version, of course, would be updated. That way, people can decide on what they would rather get (the original version or the updated one).

First of all if you didnt think that golden eye wasnt the best game ever made for the N64 then you didnt play it for long enough it was the best second you cant chose a disk game over it because disk chosing that disk game would require you to get up find the game then put it in where as golden eye or any other arcade game you just go to your game libray and pick a game

Have you played Goldeneye since 1997? Just curious, because this game really isn't that great. I played it on a N64 at my friends recently and it's actually pretty awful. It was awesome back then because we didn't know any better.

I'd rather see Perfect Dark on XBLA then Goldeneye, honestly.

Perfect Dark is overrated, and yes I have played Goldeneye since 1997, and it's still good. Besides, the controls would also be a major improvement if on the 360.SR71halo

To those who don't want this game on XBLA and just the N64: That's fine, you don't need to have/play it on XBLA, but I never owned this game, I played it at my cousin's house for numerous hours, both single and multiplayer. There's a reason why they port old games like Streets of Rage 2, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and more to XBLA: Because there are still people who play these games(like me), and I'm a very, very old school gamer. I download lots of games on the VC because I missed some old games that can be hard to find, in fact, Sin and Punishment was released only in Japan on the N64 and it finally came to America on the VC.

That's really all I have to say.

I did love Goldeneye, but honestly I would love to see Perfect Dark released though. I never played Perfect Dark Zero was it any good?The_Dark_Jester

I love this game its phenomenal maybe they can beef up the graphics to 1080 and put it on xbox live I think that would be cool?

I'd really like to see this released fot XBLA. I remember the first time I played Halo CE after all my friends were tlaking about what an amazing game it was all I could think was "Yeah, it's okay but it's no Goldeneye."

I feel the same to this day. I would much rather play Goldeneye (escpecially a beefed up version) than any of the Halo games any day of the week.

Also, I agree that they should just release it on both XBLA and VC and be done with it. They both have their own approaches; VC is very retro and keep the games as close to the original as possible, and XBLA has a tendency to "remake" the games or update them. If each does that with Goldeneye then what's the problem? I highly doubt anyone would buy one system over the other just to play that one game, so it's not going to be a console seller.

Meh

I dont really care anymore

There are a lot better shooters out there now.
