Moar answers.

The worst in all that is the engine. Why would they completely change the gameplay of a classic? Grenade indicators, Iron sights, Health regen, Etc...
Its supposed to be a remake, Not Call of Duty 8 : Goldeneye.
Disappointing.

[Enzo.Matrix]

wtf is "ser-bin-i-a"?

HUD looks like crap.

[Jeron [SharpSh00tah]]

this looks so fucking retarded

I love this thread. People who've spend a good sized chunk of their lives making goldeneye getting angry about activision doing it. It would be refreshing for one of the developers to come in here and say something good about this game.

However it wont be me, looks like ass. F-U activision.

To be fair, what they're trying to do is modernize the classic with current-day styles, but not overdo it too much. He even said there's a delicate balance.
Are they accomplishing this? Ehhh...

GE and COD don't mix.

I mean come on, they've gotten rid of weapon sets, the invulnerability period, and put in a ton of random modifiers that no-one will ever care to use.  If i were to look at gameplay footage of this production without being told what it is beforehand, Goldeneye wouldn't even come to mind.

Where's that article about game design comparing Doom and COD when I need it....
The game isn't meant for us or fans of the original, as much as Activision is touting to be. It's Goldeneye for someone whose first shooter was Halo or CoD4 and isn't old enough to have seen the film during its initial run or own an N64 during it's respective time in the sun.

...Ah, here it is: http://vectorpoem.com/news/?p=74 . Gives an idea of why the new GE won't be anything like the original.

My approach to this is the cliched 'old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn'. I don't want it and will tell anyone within earshot as much. Daniel Craig was enough to turn me away. He's a good Bond, but Goldeneye is not his Bond. After they swapped, it became just another game with the Goldeneye moniker, to me. Having survived 'Rogue Agent', I'll survive this.

[Kratos]

He's a shitty replacement Bond, and Goldeneye is not his Bond.

I'm in class so the article is tl;dr for now.
I'll just say that the first image is Map18 - The Courtyard (D00M II)

And that's the problem.
Most of us here are gamers that do not appreciate the "Current-day style". (Correct me if I am wrong, But I'd rather play DOOM and Goldeneye 64 than Call of Duty 6 right now. I still do.)
As a remake, I didn't want this to be modern-styled engine. I just wanted the old game with better graphics, Pierce Brosnan, Same or almost untouched gameplay, Same missions with added objectives/endings similar to the movie, Etc...
"But not overdo it too much." Slow-motion breach, "Tactical" kills from behind, Scripted actions and cinematics etc, Is already too much to me.

Well, this comes out this Tuesday! Any of you reserved your copy at GameStop yet? =P

I'm sure the game is "good" in its own merit... its merit being that it's CoD reskinned with "GoldenEye".

I think the one thing that stands out the most as being "flawed" is that the levels aren't even remotely "similiar" besides plants being in the Jungle, snow in Siberia, and pipes in the Facility. (As pointed out, I'm sure it has to do with Rare owning the original layout, etc.)

The characters missing their actor's resemblance sucks, too.

I'm kinda glad I retired consoles back in 2004. I occasionally hook up with my cousin to play a WWE game every now and then but the whole "buy this! buy that! this is epic. t3h ub3rrr" mentality of video game indurstry turns me off. On top of that, the games tend to fail to deliver and/or just mimic the best selling game at the moment.

The last game that I bought and thoroughly enjoyed was L4D2.

I'm going to rent it and I'll play it on my friend's Wii. Just to say "I've played it" so if anyone asks me "What do you think of the new Goldeneye Wii?" And I answer "Its horrible." if he asks me "Did you play it?" I will be able to answer "Yes".

Honestly I don't even want to play this, But I'm going to check out the rest of the single-player, I'll just stop playing if its too unplayable. I'm not going to check the multiplayer, Not even worth it.

Sure that game was enjoyable in the beginning, But for me, I just got tired 2 weeks after buying it. I feel I've been ripped off 70$.
Some people like to play Versus over and over again, I guess I don't.

Personally, I don't get how some people DON'T like versus at all. There are a number of people that just hate it and would rather play campaign. AI is boring IMO. I have been play l4d1 and 2 for 2 years straight now, still not sick of it. There is just some satisfaction of raping the other team that never gets old. The fact that valve has continually added new maps for it now keeps it fairly fresh, but yeah, L4D isn't for everyone.

Edit: Woot, past the 1,000 mark two posts ago. Go me!
