Lost Planet 2

for some reason i would rather it be this than goldeneye...i have disgraced my family

 

[I_D]

Am I alone in thinking a Goldeneye remake makes no sense?


Sure, it has nostalgic value, but that's about it. Has anybody tried playing it recently? It's not too special compared to newer stuff.
Besides.... does anybody care about James Bond anymore?

why do any old arcade games get remade/rereleased on XBLA and other online services? And why do they often sell like hotcakes?

 

[pswii60]

by the way, clicked the link

isn't it the second magazine to claim "excusive" there ? or is it the same that I've already seen ?

That issue has been out for a few weeks now.

 

[dork]

I didn't know tomb raider was exlcusive..?

 

[DangerStepp]

Hope that works.

Thanks. I appreciate it. And yes, I would guess Goldeneye as well. But a full-on remake? Hmm..

On second thought, I'll just assume they're ripping a page out of IGN's book and this is Tomb Radier: Underworld for Xbox 360.

Perfect Dark 2

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I don't think it'll be a complete remake, although I do think that they will update the textures, given that so many of them were repeated ad-nauseum through the game it shouldn't take long either!

Would have to have dual-analogue controls either. When I look at an N64 pad these days I scratch my head as to how I managed to play the game.

A magazine getting exclusive coverage of a game does not mean the game is exclusive to a platform. Just that other magazines have to wait before they can run (p)reviews on it.

I broke out the N64 a few weeks ago to test that theory. It wasn't as bad as you may think, but it does take a little getting used to.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

Goldeneye, developed by the viva pinata team would be my guess.

 

[Rapping Granny]

 

[DangerStepp]

Is that Alan Wake? Good guess, although I don't know if that's a classic franchise just yet.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

You can bet your nuts it's Rallisport Challenge 3.

The blurry winter ground texture says it all.

 

[speculawyer]

Goldeneye?

That is what jumped into my mind too . . . but it is probably just wishful thinking.

And those other satellite shots don't seem to fit into it.

Of course it seems very dated now . . . but you gotta view it in comparison to the other games of the time.

A remake would cure all the issues that make it seem lame today.

They could use the same music though.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

Tales of Symphonia.

 

[beerbelly]

If it's any title from Rare that's fine with me. Please don't let it be Amped.

 

[IcebergSlim3000]

Its the new SSX game obviously.

 

[gblues]

I'm pretty sure Goldeneye had a dual-analog mode where you used 2 N64 controllers. It'd be pretty easy to map that control scheme to a dual-analog pad.

 

[WrikaWrek]

Could be could be.

 

[le.phat]

hmm, i remember being absolutely floored when i first so Alan Wake screens.. now it looks so, normal ?

 

[godhandiscen]

HALO 4 OR BUST MICROSOFT THIS HAS GONE ON FAR ENOUGH MY GAF SCREEN NAME IS DISAPPEARED IF YOU DO NOT ANNOUNCE HALO 4 SOON I WILL SERIOUSLY KILL MYSELF.

I'll join you my brother!

 

[Rapping Granny]

hmm, i remember being absolutely floored when i first so Alan Wake screens.. now it looks so, normal ?

mee too, same goes for Conviction.

 

[KTallguy]

Amped?

 

[Broadbandito]

Amped?

I wish it was. But as explained before, Amped is a 2k property now, it wouldn't be exclusive

 

[Arkaerial]

Naah that is just the UE3 texture pop.

 

[GenericPseudonym]

I'll only be impressed if its a real game. I don't want half-hearted XBLA remakes.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

I think screenshot is from the first batch of media that Remedy released, however the last screenies made it look like they had improved on the engine a lot.

I think shows off the updated Alan model, but you'd have to see the teaser to get an idea of the lighting engine in action;

[Len Dontree]

3D open-world Penguin Land remake? Dare to dream.

 

[Xun]

It's definitely not a new SSX (why would EA make it an exclusive? I mean come on!), I'm guessing it's Goldeneye.

 

[Broadbandito]

yea, remember its a MEGAEXLCUSIVE for the 360.

KI3
GE
PD2

 

[harSon]

If it's anything by Rare (Golden Eye, KI, or PDZ2) I'll probably shit my pants in excitement.

 

[t4ng0]

classic reinvented = goldeneye

 

[Temujin]

Killer Instinct was my first thought, but Goldeneye makes more sense. I'm guessing it'll be a Rare game anyway.

 

[Broadbandito]

You can bet you nuts it's Rallisport Challenge 3.

The blurry winter ground texture says it all.

you know im starting to kinda believe this more than GE

 

[PortoG]

GoldenEye remake for Xbox Live Arcade....

 

[DangerStepp]

Naah that is just the UE3 texture pop.

:lol Excellent deduction, my dear Watson.

 

[Chinner]

Everyone prepare to be disappointed.

 

[CowboyAstronaut]

You suck at being a smart ass.

I thought he was pretty successful

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Dunno if it was mentioned, but the snowy pictures fit on top of each other too.

 

[soco]

just hope it's not reinvented like PDZ

Spoiler

i still enjoyed PDZ mp a lot

 

[dejay]

Now here's the question: if it IS a remake of Goldeneye, would you want dual analog controls, or old school single analog controls?

Goldeneye was the first game I played with dual analogue sticks. Using two controllers made it a lot easier to finish the last levels at the hardest difficulty.

 

[SaggyMonkey]

Dang, and I just wanted Rallisport Challenge 3

 

[MikeHaggar]

Dunno if it was mentioned, but the snowy pictures fit on top of each other too.

how so? i wasn't able to get them to line-up in any way...

 

[Aika'svyse]

JSRF2

 

[Bloodwake]

It's obviously Goldeneye.

I'm not complaining though, Goldeneye fucking rocks.

 

[jett]

How the hell can it be Goldeneye? Nintendo owns the rights to the game, the design and the coding, and Activision owns the rights to the Bond license.
