  1. In fairness to the forums, anytime I visit there isn't much activity. I for one would buy this FPS in a heart beat…. unlike most FPS which are your typical "bald headed marine vs aliens/robots/bugs" scenario.

  2. I'm sorry, but the graphics just aren't doing it for me.
    It does look like a remake of a n64 game.
    I can hope that these are just early developemet textures and it will be improved in the final game.

  3. Looks like a $10 WiiWare throwback – let's make a sequel with the same engine. As much as I loved Goldeneye, it's terribly dated in both graphics and speed of play.

  4. I'm almost afraid to say that this isn't showcasing any of the "strength" of the Wii. By strength, I mean to say look at games like TP or Monster Hunters Tri. These games pushed the limits of the graphics engine.

    Don't you think that doing a remake, especially a 13-year old remake, of one of the best shooters in history deserves a little… I dunno… more than what has been shown?

    For god's sake, at least give us some graphics at least rivaling those of Quantum of Solace. Even if you can't quite reach it, make an effort, people.

  5. I don't like the non-armed combat. I am only hoping it doesn't play a big role.

    I prefer the game a bit slower, but with the long combat sequences GoldenEye had. I don't like those games you just get 2 bullets and die. That is not fun. Running away to reach a better weapon and fighting in circles were what made this game fun for me.

    Best!

  6. Looks fine to me. I've played CoD4, MW2, BioShock, Gears2, Forza 3 etc. After all the "holy crap, that looks AWESOME!" wears off, you need solid, fun game-play to keep coming back.

    My $0.02.

  7. glad its coming back, but man it's ugly. i'd rather grab the new cod for ps60. (i'm sry, but great graphics can be an exhilarating part of a game.)

    i suspect this is not the wii fps i'm looking for…. i'll just go about my business….

    (moves along)

  8. Alright! Now all we need is Goldfinger staring George Lazenby and Moonraker with Timothy Dalton! I think Sam Neil may need to remake Dr. No.

  9. Ah Dr. No, yes people, the long and storied James Bond movie franchise started off with the song 3 Blind Mice. Crazy.

  10. My interest is piqued. If its well made, has good multiplayer on and off and features WM+ I may pick this is instead of Conduit 2. I still havent bought a Wii FPS.

  11. Goldeneye was a gateway drug for me. It lead to an FPS addiction. I've been clean for 7 years now, haven't wanted to touch the stuff. All of the sudden I find myself jonesing for a taste.

  12. 🙁 Daniel Craig wasn't James Bond in Golden Eye! Why did they change it?! They should have kept Pierce Brosnan! I usually don't care about graphics, but these graphics look really bad. Wii can show better graphics than that!

  13. I'm actually enjoying the throwback graphics. I predict they will actually pull more people for nostalgia than they would for a "great graphics GoldenEye."

  14. If it is anything like the original Goldeneye 007 multiplayer experience this will be tons of fun! The first Goldeneye on the N64 was a classic and sniping friends or laying sticky bombs on the ceiling in the hallway gave all of us good laughs. Looking forward to this one and actually thinking about pulling out my N64 and playing 007 with my friends again.
