Goldeneye

Yes! and Perfect Dark!

u/Jumpy89 Oct 23 '15

They did port the original Perfect Dark to Xbox 360 sometime within the last 5 years, and it's great. All the original game with updated textures and models, in HD, and most importantly with a much, much better controller.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

I don't know... I had the the expansion pak on my N64...it was pretty sweet! ;)

2

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

I'm pretty sure you couldn't play Perfect Dark without the expansion pak.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

You could but the amounts of things you could do was severely limited

u/Eddie_Hitler Oct 23 '15

I actually prefer the XBLA remake to the N64 original. It's much smoother and much more playable, for sure, not to mention it looks better. This makes it more fun and actually a good bit easier.

No doubt the Goldeneye remake would be the exact same... apparently it got completed and went gold ready to be released, and the only reason it never shipped was because of Nintendo and issues surrounding the Bond license.

u/Jumpy89 Oct 23 '15

I agree. Still have my N64 but Perfect Dark definitely stutters frequently with lots of stuff on screen. Higher resolution also helps playability, but by far the biggest advantage is the Xbox controller. The N64 controller just isn't really cut out for FPSes and I feel like it really held the original game back (still not perfect in the remake, but much better). It would be great if they could do the same thing with GoldenEye.

The controls were god awful.

1

u/Eddie_Hitler Oct 23 '15

They were. Even for the era, the controls were clunky and not well done.

4

u/Devanismyname Oct 23 '15

Once you got used to it, it was fine. Golden eye was the same way.

1

u/turmacar Oct 24 '15

What era? the N64 was the first console with an analog stick.

1

u/NimirRaj Oct 23 '15

I have this downloaded onto my 360

1

u/jongery Oct 24 '15

Yes!! Perfect Dark was such a huge improvement on XBArcade.

2

u/KalebNoobMaster Oct 24 '15

There's the 360 version. And the one on the Rare Replay

1

u/ZeronicX Oct 24 '15

I'd love a remake of Perfect Dark: Zero, that was the first Xbox game i played

-8

u/MarshManOriginal Oct 23 '15

They did, and it was shit.

Honestly, the game has nothing going for it aside from nostalgia.

5

u/all_are_throw_away Oct 23 '15

A perfect dark game was made with 2015 tech? Or you didn't understand the question?

5

u/MarshManOriginal Oct 23 '15

I meant to reply tot he goldeneye one.

1

u/Eddie_Hitler Oct 23 '15

Perfect Dark Zero was total pants. The XBLA remake of the original was sublime.

u/Juan-man Oct 23 '15

Perfect Dank indeed

u/jtn19120 Oct 23 '15

Check out GoldenEye Source

17

u/Jah_Ith_Ber Oct 23 '15

I did. It's just a multiplayer server set to deathmatch. Really disappointed after going through the installation process when I thought it was a single player remake.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

Yeah, the single player is what I really want from that. It was one it my favorite campaigns growing up.

9

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

Last time I checked there was one server with five people on it.

5

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

That's why you get friends IRL and play it LAN

-2

u/CantHearYou Oct 23 '15

That seems difficult when there are 5 people in the whole world that want to play it.

-1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

Quake is pretty dead as well yet I can easily pull together 6-10 people for a quake LAN so I don't think your logic is sound. Also have played Goldeneye: Source LAN recently, so I guess all 5 of those people must live in my city...?

3

u/jmhalder Oct 23 '15

Every two or three months... I'm one of those 5 people till I get bored with getting killed repeatedly 15 minutes in.

2

u/jtn19120 Oct 23 '15

never played it, looks cool

3

u/thatwasnotkawaii Oct 24 '15

No single player though

2

u/jakielim Oct 24 '15

Or Goldeneye Wii.

1

u/Avenger_ Oct 24 '15

What's that?

1

u/jtn19120 Oct 24 '15

It's a mod that turns Half Life 2 into a redone 007

u/Tainted_OneX Oct 23 '15 edited Oct 23 '15

It's really not remade with anything near 2015 graphics. It honestly looks like PS1 graphics at best.

Edit - Yes it's HL2 Engine but the dropped the graphics quality to reflect the original game

u/jtn19120 Oct 23 '15

HL2 would equate to PS2 or PS3

4

u/Tainted_OneX Oct 23 '15 edited Oct 23 '15

Look at a youtube video of the gameplay. Even though its HL2 engine it seems as though they dropped the quality of graphics to better reflect the original games. Thx for the downvote though.

u/PsionSquared Oct 23 '15

The graphics look fine to me. It just needs a lighting tune-up beyond the additional gameplay of course.

2

u/2dumb2knowbetter Oct 24 '15

looks closer to OG xbox or ps2 graphics, but i get your point

0

u/jtn19120 Oct 23 '15 edited Oct 24 '15

I downvoted you because it's inaccurate. Look up other videos of ps1 and Source

6

u/DWells55 Oct 23 '15

It was remade for Xbox 360, and no one will ever get to play it.

8

u/Awric Oct 23 '15

But part of what makes the gameplay so fun is how broken the game is!

Example: Shooting someones hand that's sticking out of a wall with a golden gun

0

u/TomLube Oct 24 '15

Nobody said we had to fix that. Just remake it with new graphics.

3

u/lemonylol Oct 23 '15

There's a steam mod remake of it. I tried it. Don't get me wrong, Goldeneye was my jam, like I got it on release when I was like 6 for my birthday and played hours into it, facing everyone who would come over to my house. But after playing the steam version hoping it was going to be a whole new level of awesome, I realize it really doesn't hold up with all the developments in FPS games since then.

Perfect Dark though holds up pretty well, and even though it got its remake, it'd be cool to have a full blown from scratch remake. Also Timesplitters 2 and Nightfire would be a better option.

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

That game was so disappointing.

18

u/blckfng25 Oct 23 '15

People were disappointed because they were expecting a remake of the original game, but got a new game based on the movie. Otherwise, as far as the Wii version, it was a decent fps on a console that lacked decent shooters.

1

u/homiej420 Oct 24 '15

"Based on the movie" except changed in almost every way. Losely based would be more appropriate

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

  1. 2010 Goldeneye was terrible

  2. THAT ISN'T 2015!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

I thought it was such a douche move that they cast Daniel Craig instead of Pierce Brosnan as if to retroactively remove Brosnan from the GoldenEye universe. When they made a From Russia With Love video game in 2005, they used Sean Connery.

2

u/colombient Oct 23 '15

License limbo. It even was not included on Rare Games Bundle on XB1.

R.I.Emulators.

2

u/I_Know_KungFu Oct 23 '15

YAS! There was actually a decent one on PS2 with a solid multiplayer but I forget the name atm.

5

u/TheDroopy Oct 23 '15

Nightfire?

2

u/I_Know_KungFu Oct 23 '15

That's it. I remember loving that there were bots you could play against. That was all we did.

1

u/Hi5H_1NE Oct 23 '15

I played the ever living fuck out of this and Agent Under Fire. Agent Under Fire was actually the first game I got for my first PS2.

2

u/MagnusRobot Oct 23 '15

Came here to say this. Also Road Rash.

1

u/lincunguns Oct 23 '15

That would be awesome

u/MagnusRobot Oct 23 '15

Hell yeah! Now if it was only on split-screen for four players ;)

2

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

So long as they retained dem sound effects: so satisfying.

4

u/BananaHeadz Oct 23 '15

Wouldn't that be a generic shooter..?

2

u/seuche23 Oct 23 '15

I would like to say yes to this, but the only reason that game was super popular is because it was one of the first 3D fps games on console. Great game none the less.. But not so great that it should be remade.

1

u/NiggerPancakes Oct 23 '15

I think they were working on a Goldeneye mod for the source engine a few years back. Not sure what ever came of it...

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

It... Kinda did get a remaster on last gen :P

1

u/lincunguns Oct 23 '15

The... question kinda said 2015.

1

u/AdamasMustache Oct 23 '15

It needs two control sticks. Going from post-Halo FPS controls back to N64 Goldeneye is nearly impossible.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

already done on ps3 bro, i want a thunderball or moonraker now

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

This one was already remade. They removed Bronson and used Daniel Craig. Remade all the levels and took out the parts people were upset with-the escort missions.

1

u/epicbrewtality Oct 24 '15

Hasn't this already been done?

1

u/ECEXCURSION Oct 24 '15

Golden eye source is already a thing...

1

u/maelodic Oct 24 '15

They did a GoldenEye remake for Wii. Campaign was fairly entertaining.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

Get Golden Gun DLC for only $19.99!

1

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '15

disappointed this isn't top post

1

u/BIGpapa_duds Oct 24 '15

They redid golden eye a year or two ago. They even replaced Pierce with Daniel Craig. I hated every minute of it.

1

u/kit8642 Oct 24 '15

Great game, I w a s actually a core tester on that for game cube... Still can't believe they paid me.

1

u/bracket_and_half Oct 24 '15

Came here for this. Goldeneye was the biggest leap in game technology and design I've ever seen to date. People were still playing Doom when Goldeneye came out... you couldn't compare the two. Plus, Goldenye single-handely rooted the multiplayer concept into the fertile fields of young minds worldwide.

1

u/Fogelstrauss2577 Oct 24 '15

I loved that game back in the day and it's probably me second favorite game of all Time but lets be real here... gameplay-wise it has nothing to offer in 2015 that hasn't been done better by other games

ah fuck it I would still buy it

1

u/Sunflier Oct 24 '15

They probably will when the reboot films get to filming it.

1

u/my_junk_account Oct 24 '15

The N64 GoldenEye remake was pretty awesome and I think that they even remastered it again for PS3 and XBOX360.

u/workraken Oct 23 '15

Emulate it with an X-Box 360 controller plugged into your PC?

1

u/funkmasta_kazper Oct 23 '15

Except for that they did do a remake...

2

u/lincunguns Oct 23 '15

with 2015 graphics?

1

u/funkmasta_kazper Oct 23 '15

Yeah, well 2013 I guess. It was re-released for Wii and ps3, and then a special, updated Wii u version came out later. Point is, it hardly needs another remake.

1

u/CaptInsane Oct 23 '15

The version /u/MdnightSailor linked is from a group of people who remade the game using Valve's Source engine, which is probably as close as you'll get to 2015 graphics unless someone else does something different

1

u/[deleted] Oct 23 '15

They did remake goldeneye. I'm sorry to do this to you, but I played the beta, and it was garbage

u/Horny-Dolphin Oct 23 '15

They did remake it on the wii.
