That's more like Goldeneye reimagined as a Call of Duty game.

I didn't find it felt like COD at all.

COD is a squad-based military FPS, with stealth mostly relegated to dumbed down "follow the leader" segments where you simply shadow an NPC from cover to cover. 

The Goldeneye remake however was a solo spy shooter with far superior stealth mechanics to COD and a much more seamless and balanced mix of stealth and action.

Its not nearly as ambitious as you make it seem. It felt blatantly inspired by CoD between gunplay and action scenes.

I thought it was solid game but they werent recreating the original. They just wanted the hype of the original game.

I was a COD player back when GE 007 came out, and I maintain now as I did then that it feels very different to COD. Action setpieces were less outrageous, pacing was more deliberate and restrained, the tone was more light-hearted, there was more emphasis on alternate routes, environmental destructibility/interactivity, and proper stealth play, (not COD's "shadow an NPC" segments) and you were a lone wolf instead of a member of a squad. If anything, it felt more like a more accessible and casual-friendly Splinter Cell than COD.

I concur that it does not recreate the original, but then again, I don't think it needed to. It was a modern reimagining, and in that regard, I thought it succeeded wonderfully.

I'm not saying it was a reskinned CoD, but the inspiration is clearly there. I'll just end on that.

I see 7th gen Goldeneye as its own thing and it was hyped at the return of Goldeneye 64 from the marketing. Its a fine game, nothing more nothing less.

Its certainly possible MS could get the 007 rights at this rate, no major publisher has shown interest. I think people would be pretty excited if MS attempted to bring it out now on X1 and PC. The work appears to be mostly done.

There is inspiration, yes, but that's largely cos COD4 wrote the book on modern shooter conventions.

But yeah, I think if they really wanted to MS could get the rights to a Goldeneye 64 reboot on X1/PC. And it would be cool if they did.
