I'm not hyped for it at all.  Being the "only first person shooter" back then fuels my nostalgia.  Being "just another first person shooter" now does not bode well.  I seriously doubt the game's meta-score will average more that a 7.5.

When was it ever the only FPS?

Hence the quotation marks.  I'm aware of Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, Powerslave, Doom, Turok, etc. that were available years before or around the same time.  It's just that, at the time, it was THE first person shooter.  It was the only one that mattered.

If you qualify your statement as the only FPS that mattered on the consoles, then you have a point.  The PC had moved beyond what Goldeneye had to offer when it was released.
