The spy who loved Wii: New GoldenEye game announced

Post by Jermaine76 »

From yahoo.com:

Buzz up!

Never say never, gamers.

On Tuesday, Activision unveiled GoldenEye 007, a re-imagined take on a Nintendo 64 classic that many consider to be among the greatest first-person shooter games ever created. And like its forbear, the new version will be a Nintendo exclusive when it arrives this holiday for the Wii console.

The reveal took place during Nintendo's E3 2010 press conference, just hours before the official start of the game industry's annual mega-convention in Los Angeles. While Nintendo certainly made waves with its other announcements, the coming of a new GoldenEye rivals them all.

Perhaps the most notable tweak is a casting change. Current Bond Daniel Craig will replace traditional GoldenEye lead Pierce Brosnan as the star of the show, and while that might not sit well with GoldenEye purists, the game itself looks to stay true to form.

With an emphasis on multiplayer (the real hallmark of GoldenEye), the new effort boasts 40 different characters, 5 maps, 3 basic modes and 16 modifiers that will purportedly let gamers create over 500 different kinds of multiplayer games. It will also be playable online with up to 8 players and include some sort of experience system rewarding online play. The game will support multiple control schemes as well, including the somewhat underused Wii Zapper.

Released in 1997 for the N64, the original GoldenEye was a bona fide smash. It enjoys a startling 96 rating on Metacritic and has sold over eight million copies, making it far and away the best-selling Bond game ever.


Can someone explain to me how you can do a remake of a classic video game and not have the same actor? Pathetic.

It is a major misstep Jermaine, it pleases nobody and aggravates everybody. A classic Game with a solid nostalgia base is being bastardized again, hurting the Brand further while angering the fan base. A vvery bad mistake.

Loved the original game. Why on Earth is Craig's likeness used in this? It was Pierce Brosnan game, what's next Eva Green as Natalya ? Screw this!

The New game, Blood Stone, with Craig"s likeness is fair play. This GoldenEye bulls**t is dead wrong.
