I tried playing GoldenEye on a friend's old N64 about 6 months ago. It was at that point that it really dawned on me how far FPS control schemes have come in the past decade or so.
If they updated said control scheme, I would be willing to try it, but I can't say much about actually paying for it. It was a good game in its time, but to try and compare it with modern FPSs is a waste of breath.

Nope, not convinced. Goldeneye has aged like a fine wine, get's better every year. Yep yep yep.
IF it ever comes on XBLA, then i'll buy a 360 just for that game. It seriously means that much.

I was gonna come on here, commenting on how much better Perfect Dark was/is, but the Golden Avatar beat me. Damn.
Serially, just download the source mod for Steam: Goldeneye:Source. It plays like a PC FPS and is an incredibly faithful recreation to the original. The maps are the same but with updated textures etc and the gameplay is excellent! Not enough people play this mod!
I agree with the first guy up there.
Forget about this crap and get Perfect Dark 64 started into the 5 year legal limbo.

just let activision a cut of the profits if they allow the game access on VC and XBLA.
That or have nintendo do some editing so the game does not carry any references to 007, and call it -James Pond-, -Goldenflow-
just give us the damn game(s).

Goldeneye: Source is fantastic. There's no need to grumble over this whole thing; just download that.
Am I the only person that loved GoldenEye but didn't particularly like Perfect Dark?
@CypherVR - I actually owned the Genesis game 'James Pond'... The music was probably the best part about it.

I spent many many hours with Goldeney, playing the single player to death and engaging in bouts of multiplayer, featuring such custom games as 'Hunt the fatman' where 1 player was forced to pick Robbie Coltrane and everyone else hunted him down. Whoever had the least kills at the end of the round got to do the honours in the next one. :)
That said, goldeneye is best left as a fond memory, this would look and play AWFUL by today's standards.

I loved the several seconds of getting my ass shot off while looking at and away from my watch. I can't wait to experience that again.
I keep telling people that Goldeneye just plain sucks nowadays. Sure, it was awesome when I first played it. But now, eh, not so much.
If only they'd see the light.

This just reminds me that we need more 4 player split screen FPS, live is good and all but there is something special about being able to smack your friends in person when they are being a cheap bastard.
I'd much rather have the original Perfect Dark. It's a much better/robust multiplayer game and single player game to boot. Throw that up on XBLA and they can have my money.
It was really too bad that they came so close. I don't know what the fuss is with Perfect Dark, I still thought Goldeneye was better by far. Hopefully they can sort it out and give what the fans want.
I lost interest in Perfect Dark rather quickly. Goldeneye is still a game I'd buy an N64 and cart for. Maybe I'll just hit up eBay.
It'd be a better idea to take that energy about bitching about goldeneye for VC/XBLA since it's gonna be a long road, and use that energy to bitch about PD isn't on VC because it's has no property rights aside from Rare creating it.
somewhat related note-
(Hey, nintendo put out Diddy kong racing on the DS-minus a couple characters)

@Artemis. Totally agree with you. I never liked perfect dark its just too damn smudgy and non-entertaining. Bond's where it's at for sure. You are not alone my friend ;)
Those were the days. Back when you could play a four player deathmatch without buying four consoles, games, live accounts, etc. Of course, it makes sense as no one has any friends they have met in person.
Oh, and even today, GoldenEye/Perfect Dark is still more fun than Halo, for example.

Activision holds the James Bond rights until 2014!
(but then again EA supposedly had it until 2009 but lost it in 2006)
Which means maybe, during the next xbox, a goldeneye remake..?
Unless MS wants to pony up some $$$$$ to buy the rights before then.
One MAJOR PROBLEM though; the license is owned by MGM, which was bought by Sony in 2004. So Sony owns the license. But RARE is owned by Microsoft.
Would Sony license a property to MS that would result in a high selling xbox game?
I'd certainly buy a good remake of GoldenEye.

The developers have gone on and evolved the formula. Not only in Perfect Dark but I'm pretty sure a lot of the team have been working on the Timesplitters series.
Some people need to quit living in the past. All Goldeneye did was revolutionize the controls for a console fps game. Even at it's time, it wasn't as good as PC shooters such as Quake and Half life. Goldeneye did not age well at all, unlike other fps games like Doom 2 which is still fun today.
This has not explained anything.... we knew it was complex already and no new information has been added here to expand on the situation, I have learned nothing new (aka waste of time).
@xe-cute
What were you seriously expecting? Were you expecting some crazy old lady to shuffle out of her estate cackling?
"I've GOT YOUR GOLDENEYE RIGHT HERE!!!" and then have her laugh as she jumps back into the home, which is suddenly revealed to be ASSHOLE MANOR in the state of Wedontgiveafuckaboutia?
If you felt like nothing was added, move on. Some people are too lazy to search wikipedia.

Leave it behind. No one should play this again. It has not aged well at all. Leave your precious nostalgia intact.
Wasn't feeling Perfect Dark as much when that came out. Tended to lag a bit when it shouldn't have in the multiplayer. Sure GoldenEye has aged a bit, but it was still an amazing game. Part of the reason I got into game music, even. It's more than worthy of an online platform re-release; the comments that no one else should even play it anymore just come off as outliers.

I'd be happy with Perfect Dark. It's pretty much the same thing with better graphics and better weapons.
If that had HD remix or whatever with XBL multiplayer and such I'd buy it. But if it's like a VC game, I'd be happy with emulation on a PC or something if I really NEEDED to play it.

Perfect dark was way better honestly. And can be practically the same game if you have weapon types set up and only play on "falicity" (if i remember right they renamed facility to that just cuzz)
