    It's going to be missing Facility though. Damn shame too. Plus that other Goldeneye level who's name escapes me.

    Forgive my ignorance here, but how are RARE able to rerelease Perfect Dark on XBLA (Albeit a modified version from the original), but not Goldeneye? Surely the situation is one and the same?

    I can half understand the battle between RARE, Nintendo, and Miccrosoft over the likes of DK64, but why no Goldeneye? Or is this because the Bond licence now lies with Activision...? What a complicated foursome! #perfectdark

    @Protector one: Nintendo has the right to publish the N64 game exclusively but not without Rare's permission and Rare can't release a port nor remake without Nintendo's permission. I don't think the movie makers, 007 license/rights holders get anything from a N64 Golden Eye 007 remake/port since the rights for this exact game (GE 007 for the N64) game are Nintendo's. They already got their slice when it was first released.
    But I may be wrong on this.

    I don't know about the visuals.. they should have stuck to the original visuals more, because it look kinda worse if it is half N64 and half HD "Next Gen." visuals. #perfectdark

    What is wrong with an upgrade to the textures and putting in a few more polys here and there?

    I wonder if they could (legally) steal all the Goldeneye multiplayer maps, reskin them, and shove them into Perfect Dark? I mean you can't copywrite geometry.

    Also, you can't copywrite no beats! Yo Chuck, is they crazy maaaaaaaan!?!? #perfectdark

    Ah lazy lazy rare, all day making avatar outfits whilst they should be parallax-occlusion mapping the heck out of this game to make it (visually) compete with halo 3, yes, the multiplayer is THAT good.

    cant wait to play this beefed up original though! (and goldeneye!, that looked even better then this!, well the remake i mean...) #perfectdark

    @Funkdude: Rare is involved, I'm sure. This is a value-added, feature-for-feature port, without the N64 hardware restricted flaws. It's going to smoke the N64 original.

    I'm sure one day when Halo or Gears is up for this treatment, it will be a similar kind of situation. #perfectdark

    This game was "LICENSED and PUBLISHED BY NINTENDO"... despite the fact that it was developed by RARE.

    This is Microwhore (cough couch) Microsoft at it's best right here... #perfectdark

    @mrjoeyyaya: Licensed and published have nothing to do with who OWNS the intellectual property. If Nintendo wanted to keep Rare or Perfect Dark (Nintendo bought a controlling share in Rare at one point to make them 2nd party ya know) there was no reason they had to sell them to Microsoft, but they did, because they didn't want them anymore. MS now owns both Rare and Perfect Dark. They could just sit there and let them die quietly I suppose and never update them, but if they are willing to put the work into making a new version of this great game that will also have the new addition of online play, I really fail to see why you would complain. Your comment really makes no sense. #perfectdark

    @fearing: And that's the point of a troll my good friend. They state an illogical and contentiously volatile and inflammatory comment, often with no backing, simply for the sole purpose of inciting others to respond.

    He obviously thinks he's funny, and his comment serves no purpose other than to instigate an argument.

    It's best to leave his type alone and not even waste a word.

    OK guys, insult me however you will, but I'm curious about your opinions here. I had an N64 and I loved it, but I never played any FPS games until Halo, so no Perfect Dark and no Goldeneye.

    I'm not in love with them and I'm not great at them, but I can play shooters now and they are fun (though I mostly suck) and I'm wondering if a person like me would still like these two games. #perfectdark
