New James Bond 'GoldenEye' game to debut this month - Polidicks

[quote=CNN] [B](CNN)[/B] -- Activision is reloading the golden gun to take another shot at reviving a James Bond video game relic. The game publisher plans to unveil a new 007 shooter based on the 16-year-old Pierce Brosnan flick, "GoldenEye," at a news conference later this month, said a spokeswoman helping organize the Activision event. The formal announcement is to take place on July 20 in San Diego at the annual Comic-Con expo. There, Activision will also show upcoming games in the "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" series. Activision Publishing registered Web domains last month suggesting the title of the new Bond game may be "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded." The next Bond film, which is codenamed Bond 23, is scheduled to open in theaters on November 9, 2012. "GoldenEye" was neither the highest grossing nor the most memorable Bond movie. But the "GoldenEye 007" game resonates with many people, even today. In the late '90s, the four-player shooting game was part of a nightly ritual at many college dormitories and after-school meet-ups. Rare, which created "Donkey Kong Country" and was later acquired by Microsoft, developed the cult classic, and Nintendo published it exclusively for the Nintendo 64 console. Rare's and Nintendo's divorce, along with Activision becoming the exclusive rights holder to develop Bond games, has spun an elaborate web that has left the original "GoldenEye 007" landlocked. Nintendo and Microsoft have been unable to come to terms on how to redistribute the game. Rare's "Perfect Dark," a futuristic spy franchise, was billed as the spiritual successor to "GoldenEye." Several "GoldenEye" designers left Rare to form a studio called Free Radical Design, which develops the "TimeSplitters" games. But the "GoldenEye" name, story and characters hold a special place in many gamers' hearts. Seeing that opportunity, Activision remade the game and released "007: GoldenEye" for Nintendo's Wii in November. Developer Eurocom replaced Brosnan's likeness with that of Daniel Craig, the current Bond actor. The Wii is not typically associated with first-person shooter games, and the "GoldenEye" reboot didn't necessarily break that mold. But Eurocom has said it was satisfied with the sales. Treyarch developed a recent Bond game, based on the "Quantum of Solace" film. Most recently, it made "Call of Duty: Black Ops." Treyarch was not tapped to make the upcoming "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3," and it has not said what its next project will be. Game industry watchers suggest the new "GoldenEye" will be released on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, two systems where shooting games have thrived.

oh no

Didn't this come out like months ago?

cod with tuxedos

Wait so it's another remake of that remake? Or what, I'm confused.

I'm pretty sure this already came out Mostly because I have it right here, and I really regret buying it

[QUOTE=Mon;31013928]cod with tuxedos[/QUOTE] Well that's a SLIGHT improvement.

The Wii remake was pretty cool, not as good as original N64 one but it was fun. I don't know what to feel about another remake, would rather just have another brand new Bond game again instead of trying to re-remake another one.

They already did this once.

[QUOTE=Mon;31013928]cod with tuxedos[/QUOTE] I don't know about you, but I'd rather go into battle with a tux and a pistol than combat armor and an assault rifle. Fashion is after all, the number one defense against all attacks.

If Activision can keep this as much like the original as possible I might forgi-no, that's too far... I'll go back to ignoring them instead of berating them when I get a chance.

[QUOTE=simkas;31013945]Wait so it's another remake of that remake? Or what, I'm confused.[/QUOTE] it's most likely going to be an HD port of the Wii reimagining, which was a pretty damn solid game.

let the milking begin goldeneye 3 2013

this had better be the original in hd i had a dream about that when i was in 5th grade except it was on ps2

I'd be more interested in this if it wasn't Activision.

The should do something like how 4j remade all graphics on original pd, but everything else the exact same

[QUOTE=t-man;31014036]The should do something like how 4j remade all graphics on original pd, but everything else the exact same[/QUOTE] I don't think thats happening since Nintendo published the original Goldeneye and therefore probably have the rights to the original

Well, the Wii 'reimagining' wasn't bad, and if it's not Rogue Agent then we shouldn't have anything to worry about. Right?

Thus they wont be a source of anger to everyone else.

This could be great if they pull it of correctly.

[QUOTE=Mon;31013928]cod with tuxedos[/QUOTE] I don't think you get it. They already made that with Quantum of Solace and it was on the call of duty 4 engine.

I liked the Wii game.

again?

now i can call in ac-130 on the dam mission!

[QUOTE=Mon;31013928]cod with tuxedos[/QUOTE] Well that's what it WAS. It got released on June 2010! Apparently this will be an even shittier PS3 and 360 version. Fuck you activision, fuck you very much.

[QUOTE=RikohZX;31014241]Well, the Wii 'reimagining' wasn't bad, and if it's not Rogue Agent then we shouldn't have anything to worry about. Right?[/QUOTE] Why does everyone make fun of rouge agent I thought it wasn't that bad.

This better have every flavor of multiplayer capabilities, such as four to a screen, lan/system link, online, etc etc.

[QUOTE=cdr248;31015176]Why does everyone make fun of rouge agent I thought it wasn't that bad.[/QUOTE] They took "goldeneye" way too literally.

If there was a PC release I would buy it at full price.
