Brings back memories of Siberia in Timesplitters 2. Me and this one guy had things down pat - who would shoot which camera, who would run for the camera controls when, who would cover the place where the sniper appeared...that sort of thing.

Everyone said it was just a remake of Goldeneye, with no originality whatsoever, so I'll be looking forward to this. :p

Even that picture makes me think "I WANT TO BE THERE!!" Either that's some damn good modelling, or the HL2 withdrawal is setting in. :nervous: Damn Cedega with no sound...

eh, those screenshots look quite generic to me. At the same time, Goldeneye was quite cool. I remember playing that at a friend's house several times many years ago.

You know for one very surreal moment I thought the title of this thread was denoting the existance of a Miss Goldeneye game in the style of Ms Pacman :lol:

You owe me a new pair of pants.  A clean pair.

Sorry aldo, but no pants for you ;)

I have to say... I'm excited but looking at the screenshots it's not like they've improved on the maps at all. You'd think they could update the geometry and add some interesting stuff in.

Indeed.  Cradle does look good, but for the rest surely they could add in some touches from the movie that weren't technically possible on the N64 - imagine the Arkangel escape scene where you can have proper bouncy barrel physics (in the movie, Bond creates a distraction by blowing open a big storage thing holding barrels, which bounce onto people as barrels in moves are wont to do).

Cool, but hopefully they'll make it more realistic and less like it's for a system that came out years ago. Even little stuff like used coffee cups on desks, debris and construction, papers strewn about, active monitors, etc...

Lookin' good though. :yes: Now I just have to go change my pants...

The one reason to buy an N64 is coming to Source!

I spent hours encamped at that cell block door the first time I did the level on the hardest setting (00 agent ?)

Zelda

(to name but one)

N64 was class.... best controller ever IMO.  I wish I'd kept it.

I agree about the controller. Can't stand playing FPS games on a Playstation.

I still play Goldeneye from time to time because some of my friends still have their N64s around... I've never owned a console.

The only problem was it kind of wore out quickly. But on Goldeneye, memories of running people over with the tank are still with me.;7

Amen!  The N64 was the last console that I bought, and I still find its games to have the best combination of playability and graphics to date.  I'm glad I still have mine around.

Can't stand the 64's controller (PS1 Dual Shocks for me :)), but I do love quite a few of its games, probably Ocarina of Time most of all.  I finally bought a used one early this year, and I'm attempting to play through GoldenEye's singleplayer, which I find to be surprisingly hard. :p  I've played multiplayer a few times, and I'll agree that it was a great party game; it's nice to see old classics revived like this. :)

I'd agree with you there somewhat regarding the Controller. It was a really great design, but that Joystick would just destroy itself in no time! A friend of mine rented Mario Party one weekend long, long ago, and together with several mates, effectively destroyed all his N64 Controller Joysticks, to a degree that he could no longer play any game with them...

...On another note; make sure you get Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. I find it to be a better rounded entry into the LoZ franchise. While it may not have the overall inovation and sheer scale of Ocarina of Time, MM has a much better story, and looks considerably better than OoT...

...I'm hoping they leave the levels exactly as they were, just with awesome new graphics. Seriously, there were some levels (ie. Stack) that you just can't improve upon...indeed, no console FPS has been able to recreate the innovation and fun of GoldenEye (although Halo 2 w/ XboxLive came pretty close)...

Sheer. Gaming. Perfection.

I don't think any FPS holds the same place in my heart as Goldeneye.... rampaging through Caverns with twin RPCs... priceless.

Brings back childhood memories... someone bought one into our school common room for the year. A few of us spent ages playing paintball mode... no wonder we got no work done!

I replayed through Goldeneye recently and managed to beat all of 00 Agent to create a 007 file. which I'd never done before. Kinda made me realise hardly any FPS since has had better animations or AI.

While it did, the time clock on the game was sheer anoyance. And thats the reason I hate that game.

In all fairness, I've mucked around with Doom 3 modding, and you tend to build the basic geometry of the room in and add other objects once you've got most of the architecture and triggers etc out of the way, so you can see what you're doing ;) So I wouldn't give up on food for the physics engine quite yet ;)

Then you're one of the seven people worldwide not to like that feature, as it was the main concept behind the entire game...! I've found most complaints about it come from the Owl Save-Points, which can lead to severe heart-ache as they only save once, and don't stick...

I actually bought and played Majora's Mask not too long ago, and while I didn't like it as much as Ocarina of Time, I did think that it was a very good game.  I honestly didn't mind the time feature, and I have no idea why it took so much flak from some people.  Once you had the Song of Soaring, things got a lot easier.  In each of the four areas, all you really had to worry about was getting to the owl statue closest to the dungeon entrance before the three days were up; you could then just head back to the first day, fly right there, and start the dungeon.  Plus, with the Song of Inverted Time, there really wasn't that much pressure at any single point, and when things did start to get tight, it just served to add to the game's excitement.  The one thing I never did while playing was to let the clock run down all the way; I was too softhearted to see the world getting destroyed. :p

Heh, no no - I couldn't bully him..

..his mum used to make me bagels and drive me to school and back with him.. and drop me off outside my own house.

Wouldn't have been a smart move to bully him. I just let everyone else do it.
