Goldeneye Wii

[ACCF18]

Game comes out in a few days! Can't wait. Too bad Pierce wasn't in there though. But I was a big fan of the N64 version, so I am really excited for this game. Like the graphics too.

if your comp will allow it, goldeneye: source is a great remake on the PC, using the half life 2 engine, if you're interested in the multiplayer aspect.

didn't know this game was already coming out. I don't care for how they went about hyping up the game.. but interested in how well it'll do, regardless.

 

[ACCF18]

I am interested but can you use a gamepad? I don't like using cpu controls...

if you don't want to use a mouse/keyboard, you can use whatever gamepads you have laying around, so long as you can find a way to map the aiming to a control. it will probably be harder than mouse and keyboard, since you won't have the same precise control, but yes, you could map everything onto a gamepad.

I use my ps3 controller to emulate an xbox 360 controller, had a hard time mapping all the buttons/keys onto it though. good luck, if you're interested.

This game pisses me off for many, many reasons.

Why do people assume it'll be anything like the original? It's impossible to go back to the original's popularity, because the original was the original.

 

[ACCF18]

No, it actually IS gonna be the original. Just better graphics, better/more guns, that's all. They are even including the levels from the Goldeneye movie that wasn't in the N64 game. The only thing that's bad is that Pierce isn't gonna be in that game. But, oh well.

because these people were excited, so we should be, too.

& @ the last post, I think they're going about it with more of a story/campaign-style approach, as compared to "you're in the level and here's your objective".

multiplayer is just multiplayer, and was the main draw from what i remember. i never understood it, but i wasn't really of-age to play it beyond walking around and breaking the glass walls, and messing around with cheats.

I saw this...I'm afraid that everyone online will be abusing oddjob though because of his obnoxious shortness

No, it's NOT going to be the original. The original was a 64-bit exploration of uncharted territory. It was fun because it was new and ahead of its time. If you watch the videos of the gameplay, you'll see that this is just another attempt to bring back Goldeneye's popularity with nothing of its original novelty. The second attempt, I might add.

In addition, no FPS will ever play well on the Wii's horrid control scheme.

Agreed, but I wouldn't be able to name any others.

Actually, YES, it IS gonna be the original. Don't try to change it. They will use the classic controller on that game. Now, let me explain what changed:
-Pierce isn't in there
-Has Wifi
-Has more mutiplayer modes
-Better graphics
-Activision, not RAREWARE (hope Activision will do good..)
-More levels

The only thing that really screwed this game up was the replacement of Daniel Craig. That's it.

what he's saying is that it isn't the original.

original, by definition.. ]

preceding all others in time or being as first made or performed; "the original inhabitants of the Americas"; "the book still has its original binding"; "restored the house to its original condition"; "the original performance of the opera"; "the original cast"; "retracted his original statement"

it is not the first, it is a remake of the first. therefore it isn't original.

what made the first one great was that it was the original, it was groundbreaking, it was bold, and it was great fun. it set the stage not only for it's own series, (which kinda failed) but for most other multiplayer FPS' to follow.

it can be remade fully, and it will still not be the original.. it can only be a remake, port, rehash, whatever you want to call it, it isn't original.

I'm going to assume the wifi will be laggy, ala smash brothers brawl, there won't be but about two/three more *new* multiplayer modes (the original had a lot, I doubt there'll be a whole lot more available/possible), graphics MUST be better given the time in between them.. and activision isn't that great, in my opinion, aside from tony hawk's underground, and previous games in that series. and that was neversoft, really.

more levels is just a bonus, imo.

so.. actually, no, it won't be the original, as the original is already out. and guess what.

GET N OR GET OUT. HOO YEA.

Passable. Still played far better on the Gamecube.

metroid prime 3 was *censored.2.0*, imo.

with metroid prime trilogy, i liked playing metroid prime again. of course, i liked it the first time, and would have liked it with the same controls, but it was very nice to be able to aim freely and move at the same time.

debatable, and up to opinion, but a fair option if you didn't like/love the gamecube controls

The classic controller doesn't mean *censored.2.0*! The original Goldeneye was built on vastly different hardware over a decade ago.

As for your nice bullet points:
-Who cares which *censored.2.0*ty texture they chose to put over Bond's face?
-Great, but Nintendo's online support still sucks balls.
-How many variants did you actually ever play on the original?
-Yet still miles behind the 360 and PS3.
-Activision is producing it, not making it. Eurocom is making it, and they've mostly made movie games and Wii ports of good 360 and PS3 titles for the past ten years.
-I would *censored.3.0*ing hope so.

Are you really trying to say that the only thing that will be wrong with this game is that you won't have Pierce Brosnan's Celtic features to get you off?

The graphics look the same. Look at the gameplay video, they're not refined, amazing graphics. Like every FPS on the Wii, the graphics are less than average, the controls (thank God you can use the classic controller) will suck if you have to use the wiimote, unless this promotes wiimotion+, which, from what I can tell, it does not.
