Title: Half an hour of GoldenEye XBLA footage released.
Post by: detectDefective on August 23, 2016, 09:06:19 pm
I honestly thought we'd never see any more material on the GoldenEye XBLA remake.

And then some lucky bastard recorded 30 minutes of it.
Here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRRuhviJGMQ)

Highlights include:
-Flipping back and forth between the remake's graphics and the original's.
-A full cycle of the arsenal, showing weapons not included in Perfect Dark XBLA.
-More single-player levels as multiplayer maps, including Dam and Frigate.
-A multiplayer option to disable unequal character heights.

I still can't believe there's an actual clean video of this. Holy shit.

A really fascinating watch. I wonder why this comes out now. Anything to do with our own release? I love what they did with Surface. I have no idea what they were thinking with Complex.

You think there could be something in the pipeline due to GE:S? I wish, as long as it didn't harm the mod.

I don't fully understand the situation on this anyway, why the hell does Nintendo have any say in the release of this remaster, just because it came out on their console? The license is owned by MGM, Rare were the creators so they own the rights to the games design and all materials, sound & music etc, Activision shouldn't have any say at all on the matter, and Microsoft... Well they employ Rare now, but does that give them any rights? As far as I can see, any agreement should be between MGM and Rare, and Nintendo and Microsoft are just a couple of bully boys trying to get their foot in the door.

according to from what was written from the magazine XboxWorld360 the only reason it got cancelled was
Nintendo Japan got annoyed threatened Activison who had the bond license that they would cease any bussiness or deals
and so they put the kibosh on the whole deal
the funny thing is Nintendo america and Microsoft were initally alright in the beginning with it (as both virtual console and xbla were going to have it) hence the development went quite far
but well yeah

but agian thats just one story so i dont know if thats fully accurate or not
possibily the whole thing came down to money and all the issues and such :( darn shame

I think there still chance to see a GoldenEye remake on XBLA or NX version to be honest, that Half hour Footage is pretty amazingly looking good, its just suck it wont happening as now. Also that Game has a crazy hard license for MS to get. Spencer did try i believe.
