Posted by muffla

It'd hold my interest for all of three days.

XBLA would get it before VC? Uh...

Microsoft owns Rare, the makers of Goldeneye, and I believe EA owns the rights to the James Bond license. It wouldn't be hard for MS to throw some cash at EA to get the game on their platform.

More like Goldeneye: Rogue Agent coming to XBox Originals, amirite? Activision Blizzard have the rights to Bond, by the way.

EDIT: Oops, beating to the punch.

Hmm... I believe sometime last year it was announced Activision got the James Bond license from EA.

Let me double-check...

Of course, I'd prefer it on the 360 because of Achievements, and because it heavily needs some graphic cleanup. Just enough to prevent my eyes from bleeding...

Best thing that could happen to Rare.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

EA, Actiblizzion. Same difference. MS just needs to throw cash at either or to get the game on their system.

I certainly don't think this game would withstand the test of time.

It'd be some good fun for a bit, though.

I already know it's not worth buying, but I would buy it anyway, play it a few days, and come to the conlusion that it wasn't worth it.

Goldeneye with a modern control scheme could be enjoyable. Try playing it on the N64 nowadays, however, and you'd be ****ed. Using buttons to aim? oh jeez.

I still play it with a couple friends...

I think I used the scheme where holding down R changes the stick to aiming. Either that or the C buttons strafe and move forward and backward. I don't remember, but I sure didn't aim with the C buttons.

... It was real. With online multiplayer. holy ****. Would have paid 1200 points for it.




Posted by muffla

like the article said, complain loudly and theres an extremly slight chance we can still get it




Posted by BLUNTMASTER X

If Nintendo and Rare couldn't agree on a royalties split, why didn't they just settle on selling it over both XBLA and VC? Seems like a fair deal.




Posted by Vampiro V. Empire

NO MULTIPLAYER ON WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

HAHAHAHA

probably because MS didn't want that ****. Exclusivity.




Posted by Skitzo Control

They lose money because they've already paid Rare employees as they worked on the port. It'd make so much sense just to split the royalties with Nintendo and make some money off this investment, thus far, rather than be ****y and not split the cash.
