Xbox World 360 asks: "What game is this?"

AniHawk said:
Eh. More games I wouldn't want to see ported (Though I'd like to see AKI make some new wrestling games. For as long as I've stayed out of it- nearing 8 years now- I'd love a new AKI/WWE game).

Really, the N64 had some awesome games, but most are best tucked away in nostalgialand.

I'll agree with that for Goldeneye, when I played it 3 months ago, i wasn't very impressed.

But I played NWO World Tour last week, and that game is still as awesome as it ever was.

Where is your source for nintendo funding and owning the IP?

Nintendo can't own a James bond I.P.

they licensed it back then. Licensing and indefinitely owning is very different, how could Nintendo own a James Bond I.P?

Doesn't make any sense.

YEah, Goldeneye HD is great news, but i hope to god this doesnt mean delayed PD2 deveopment.

If they have yet to start development because of thsi remake... i dont think its justified thats all.

PD2 has priority over remakes (in my book) :(

Right, I knew that. But couldn't they just emulate the games quick and dirty to get something Banjo out there? It's been maybe 5 years since the last Banjo game (the GBA Banjo, when did Pilot come out?)? Stick a couple of people on it and get it out the door.

You should know Rare. They never do 'quick and dirty'. Look at their remakes of JetPac and Conker. They go all out.

One of the reasons they are my favourite dev house.

You seem to forget about the fact that Nintendo owned the IP, Nintendo funded the development of the original game and Nintendo published the final product.

If Nintendo is indeed withholding the release of the remake, I guess they have the right to do it from a business perspective, even if this pisses me off myself.

Yeah and Nintendo profited heavily from it. Fuck them if those greedy idiots are holding this back because of thier cut. The new GE is being built from the ground up using MS money.

Nintendo can do their own version, but those bastards better not be making it hard cause they are too lazy to do it themselves.

This would have probably been online with matchmaking. Fuck
 
Wow I really really want this to come out. I'd pay 1200 points for it! Goldeneye with leaderboards & online matchmaking? DO WANT

:lol Wow you guys are getting really upset about this. Goldeneye was a great game, but why did people need to remake it completely instead of making a new IP based around it? Wouldn't that have been easier for all parties involved? It's pretty fucking obvious that Halo isn't going to suddenly be released in the next iteration of systems for the Nintendo or Sony system. Isn't that the same thing?

A new IP based around what? The game content itself but not with Bond stuff? Another Goldeneye Bond game that's unrelated to the original?

Also, Halo comparison isn't valid, seeing as how MS owns that and Bond isn't owned by Rare or Nintendo.

Bond is the IP. You can't make a "new" IP based around bond. I'm fairly certain you don't understand what the word means.
 
Did anyone pick up a copy of Cancelled Game World today?

I might pop to Asda later to see if they have a copy. No doubt it'll be sealed up in a plastic bag because they have a "Exclusive Poster" of Jumper: Griffin's Story.
 
Just saw the article, it appears to be real. Of course, the game isn't coming out, but it's not like Xbox World faked the images (although impressive work if they did). A couple of quotes:

This is no hoax. This is no fan-made ROM hack, PC Source mod or Photoshop fake. This is no joke, and contrary to the date on the cover, this is no April Fool either. This is the Nintendo 64's GoldenEye running on the Xbox 360, made by Rare, published by 007 license holders Activision and released over Live Arcade by Microsoft - and it's the best game you'll never play.
Click to expand...

GoldenEye was set for release in the middle of this year, until it was cancelled late in 2007, apparently at the behest of Nintendo. As Oddjaw tells it, Nintendo America boss Reggie Fils-Aime was supposedly completely behind the idea, knowing well what the project would mean to gamers, especially when the deal was sweetened by Rare's offer to port the game to Wii, while making the rest of their back catalogue available on the Virtual Console.
Click to expand...

The agreement between the parties allowed the game to be developed almost to completion before Nintendo's Japanese boss Satoru Iwata decided that under absolutely no circumstances would Nintendo allow the game to see release on another platform. While Ninty apparently have neither rights to the code nor any legal means to block the release, it's rumoured that the threat to Activision's relationship with Nintendo was enough for them to disband the project.

Anyway, lots of screens/details in the magazine. Shame the game is not going to be released.
 
Assuming thats exactly how it happened, Activision need to get a fucking backbone.
I don't blame Nintendo as such... but for Activision to bow down like that is just really weak.
 
I want that Wii port. I want to see what Rare would have done with the Wii hardware.

Are there any screens of the Wii version in this mag?
 
If Nintendo actually took pride in their Virtual Console instead of just using it as a ROM dump we wouldn't have this problem.

Can you guys imagine what a remake of Super Mario Kart would be like on XBLA. Shit would put the Wii version to shame.

They are all 360 screens. They could just be referring to a port of the N64 original to the Wii and not of the remake.

Anyway, the magazine mentions that this screen posted a while back was legitimate (if you didn't already figure that out):

That guy on the right is awful apathetic about the fact that he's about to get shot.

If by refusing this, Nintendo have blown any chance of getting Rare titles on VC, then they've royally screwed themselves.
 
You know, based on the entire idea that this is a fucking sham publicity stunt by the magazine, can we really take what they're saying seriously? I mean, it's certainly plausible, but the entire situation from the magazine itself reeks of them having a questionable reputation.

Did you read what was quoted? Reggie was all for it, according to the article.

haha I read it as Reggie knowing all about the idea to let them develop it then pull the plug.

I take it all back then, soz Reggie.
 
I love Goldeneye, but I would rather have Perfect Dark on XBLA. That game had so many great weapons and ideas, and with a XBLA remake, it would be amazing if they fixed the frame rate. And Nintendo can't say anything about it.
 
If that's how it all came to be it's rises a good question.

Would you make that trade? Goldeneye being remade on a competitor's system compared to all of the Rare Titles being released on your VC?

Surely the overall money would be in favor of VC, wouldn't you think?

Goldeneye would have done very well on the VC, and it sounds like they wouldn't have do anything themselves either. Easiest money they ever made. At least Reggie realized it was a smart deal.

Cheers Satoru, you twat.

Fixed. More like Itwata now, amirite?

Look, I'm much more of a Perfect Dark fan than a GE fan, but I remember GE being literally the ONLY game people played for months. Nintendo of Japan coming in and stopping this deal is akin to Sega of Japan fucking up SoA's shit. This is unbelievable. They just don't understand the power of these games.

And if they could have had this ported by Rare AND Rare's back catalog of N64/NES/SNES games in exchange? They're the fucking stupidest assholes ever.
 
Bravo Nintendo, bravo you fuck Iawata.

So Rare were going to port the WII and 360 version. So MS were going to pay for the Wii version huh?

Everything there sounds like a win win. Reggie WAS BACKING IT!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Seriously, fuck Satoru Iwata for pulling the plug. I have no Nintendo products, but this cemented the fact that I'll never buy anything from them (as long as Iwata-san is the boss). Assholes. ASSHOLES!
 
I dont see any reason not to doubt this magazine. They have obviously played it and have high quality caps.

Their source knows what going on, and i believe all parties wanted gamers to know what the real deal was.

This could possibly be released still? If there is a public outcry yes?

You'd think Kaz Harai phoned Activition and told them to fuck off if they released Goldeneye on 360 and Wii...but IAWATA!!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What in the name of fuck? Why the hell would he dismiss such an arrangement?
 
So it's the same story that was told by that guy who made it all public. Still sounds fishy. Why wouldn't have Nintendo any right to deny a release? Why would Iwata be so upset about it when he didn't care about leaving Rare behind?
