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.

Goldeneye had its day back in the late 1990s. Goldeneye was released in late 1997. 4 player co-op on the N64 was excellent fun with friends back in the day. Great death matches and lot of fun which was a start of thing to come on console shooter gaming. 

Goldeneye was  one of a handful of great games on the N64 which was smashed by the PS1. Along came bigger and better shooter games: Perfect Dark (2000) and Halo: Combat Evolved (2001) and they have kept on coming and make Goldeneye look extremely dated and old in comparison. Every dog has its day. Goldeneye had its day and a reworked version of it may or may not cut it in the modern era. 

 

Which is exactly why a PS3/360 version would be dumb to make.

I can't deny that.  And, since console gaming has grown more and more "PC like" since then, the future for Goldeneye on the Wii looks even more bleak.  But hey, Nostalgia is a powerful thing.  If anything, it will probably sell well.

Well, it looks like they are marketing the nostalgia but making a modern FPS.  I'm definitely interested because I can't turn down a good FPS on the Wii (since there aren't that many of them -- yet -- there are four major FPSs coming out within a year), but I read there are only 5 multiplayer maps and I'm not happy about that at all.  It could be a deal breaker considering there's Conduit 2 (online gameplay and maps look great so far), Black Ops, and Future Soldier (I do, however, expect the Wii version of Future Soldier to be seriously gimped, but I'm trying to stay possitive) to choose from as well.

I also find it surprising that Activision would release two major FPSs on the system in the same time frame, so maybe Goldeneye isn't expected to be all that special.

only 5 maps? Eh...ok.. now im not so interested...thats kinda lame. Rather get Conduit 2 (providing it looks good) or Medal of Honor...

Actually, I am. I hope they leave it as much as possible and add a bit of freshness to the gameplay.

Uh, I just read that Conuit 2 will only have 5 new maps.  They are including 2 old maps as well, but I'd rather not have them.  I hope the guy was misinformed (like they often were when the original was released), and what he meant to say was the E3 build had 5 entirely new maps.

I want IR pointer aiming or no buy from me.  What is this about only 5 multiplayer maps?  The original had ten I think.  They aren't going to include them all?  Suck.

Loved playing it as a kid, but MK64 was superior multiplayer imo.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
