Hopefully people have learned their lesson after "Rogue Agent" and won't touch anything with the GoldenEye name on it unless it is somehow tied to the original through it being a port, or being something made by Rare. #goldeneye

For example, there is still a band called The Rolling Stones making music. But just because they're called The Rolling Stones and the band has most of the original members doesn't magically make their current music as good as their stuff in the 60s and 70s.
GoldenEye was good because it was the perfect storm of people, new ideas, and fresh territory, because no one had made a very good console FPS. That time has passed.
If you want that rush of nostalgia, just get some friends together, fire up the old N64, and have a good time. #goldeneye

please take that with a grain of salt...

We don't want no funny foreign words here dammit!

Either way, I hope Perfect Dark on the XBLA is as awesome as I want it to be. Laptop Gun + Enemy Constantly Spawning in room with Laptop Gun = VICTORY! #goldeneye

Though if you see a developer or beta tester join the server just leave. They are complete dicks. Completely ruined our night on this game by using god modes. The game is fun, fairly well put together, and FREE (for owners of Orange Box n what not)
(If your reading this developers of Golden Eye source, being a dick to people trying out your mod isn't the best way to build up word of mouth. Neither is making an achievement for it along the lines of "You should be honoured: get killed by a developer 20 times" or whatever it was)
Also GoldenEye 2010 Wii. I feel that while it was an N64 game, MS do own Rare, which surely means they own the rights, so surely it'd be a 360 game?
And stop calling me Shirley #goldeneye

And seriously, the devs actually have the nerve to do that? Wow, that is just depressing, even if they do claim that it was only in the name of fun. #goldeneye

Only to those that are graphics whores. I can play any Atari 2600, NES, SNES, Genesis, PSOne and N64 game and not have one single gripe about the graphics or gameplay.

But seriously, we're really proud of you that you can play all of those games. I was worried no one had that power.

It seems so easy and logical to us consumers. Maybe they should just put it on PS3 and call it done.

Then again it's more complicated than that, what with Activision and whatever movie studio owns the James Bond IP also having a stake in it. Honestly, way too many companies are involved to make this feasible.

Just speculation, but I think it makes sense...

Captain Blackadder: You see, there was a tiny flaw in the plan.
Private Baldrick: What was that, sir?
Captain Blackadder: It was b*llocks.
The issue is that you have MS/Rare (who made the game), Nintendo (who published the game), Danjaq (who own Bond, basically), and whoever has the Bond game rights at the moment (EA? Activision? Whoever).
Let's say Rare remake the game. Do they get the monies for that? What about if they do a standard release for the Wii VC but stick with a port for the 360? What if the 360 port is enhanced so as it to make it more competitive to the Wii version?
What if Nintendo asked "Any chance of Perfect Dark?" and MS said "Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha NO". Or if Nintendo said "Well you know Goldeneye wouldn't be here without us, so we figure you should pay us beaucoup because it's ours" while MS/Rare said "Well we actually MADE the game so you should be paying us for the privilege". You can't draw a 50/50 line down something like that.
At the end of the day, it's a poor move for everyone, and robs gamers of a classic title which pretty much set the standard for console shooters. It would make easy money wherever it ended up - speaking as a person who owns both consoles, I know I'd have bought both versions.
But meh, the companies are run by businessmen, not gamers.

'cause, you know, the quality of the ACTUAL game doesn't matter. It's all about what a game ISN'T that makes it crappy.
