What Was Goldeneye to You?

Goldeneye was more of a fun way to kill time. I don't think my friends had enough controllers for multiplayer, so I never really played much of that, but playing single player with cheats is what made the game for me. Going through the levels killing enemies with huge heads with a laser gun is what made the game for me.

Fuck, the only real reason I'm buying this is to relive the glory days of playing this with my friends in my basement after school.

However, I'm pretty sure my friends and I would get bored and pop in L4D instead

I never grew up with Goldeneye like many others had. To me, goldeneye on the 64 was a good shooter for its time. now, control wise its complete garbage. don't be a fanboy people, the n64 had one of the worst controllers ever. everything else about the game though i feel still holds up alright. My fear is that with this remake, they are doing it as a cash-in and not taking it seriously. also going down the road of call of duty, disregarding a fun singleplayer and focusing only on the multiplayer. the singleplayer for goldeneye was pretty fun and challenging and the multiplayer i understand why people like it.

I never played goldeneye when i was little maybe it was because of my age but I was more of a "Mario 64" and a "Legend Of Zelda : Ocarina Of Time" kid i got into fps when i got a ps1 when i played the die hard trilogy. But I am looking forward to playing the game everyone seems to praise as being one of the best FPS ever.

I was incredibly young when introduced to golden eye; which was probably a few years after it's release. Playing on the N64 was the pretty much the starting point of my gamin career (I remember getting these N64 controller keychains and then thinking they were the coolest things ever). In accordance to zekana, I looked back at the controller and ever wondered how that worked out, and reminds me of how far technology as gotten. Golden eye helped introduced me to video games, and I guess I will always have to thank it.

I really didn't played Goldeneye's multiplayer, thats why the campaign for me was marvelous especially with the cheats. It made the experience more enjoyable after many playthrough.

It was fun multiplayer and I enjoyed screwing around in singleplayer, a lot. But looking back onto Goldeneye is hasn't aged well, at all.

Multiplayer was where all the nostalgia is for me but i dont think i will get that same feeling after me and my friends moved onto games like TF2. If its well received then I guess thats enough for a rental.

That's a good point Nick. I wasn't even thinking about GoldenEye. But now that you mention it, I'm getting excited about the single player mode.

I don't think I finished GoldenEye 64 on Secret Agent. But with the new controls I could see me doing that as it had one of the best laid out difficulty systems ever.

The Complex and The Stacks are a major part of my childhood. I would get 8 of my friends over every weekend and we would sit there all night and play Goldeneye (and mario kart 64). It was the first video game we were actually all able to compete against one another in. The campaign is pure dog shit though. Even then I remember thinking how awful it was. Gotta love that c-button aiming.

GoldenEye was, simply put, the most addictive, easiest-to-jump-into-with-both-feet multiplayer around. The kicker was, it was such a simple concept: pick up guns, shoot the other guys. Or set proximity mines (fucking awesome) and blow your enemies to hell that way.

Looking back, it would be nearly impossible for anyone not affected by nostalgia to go back to it and enjoy it. Hell, most of us who *did* play it endlessly when we were kids would get tired of it in 15 minutes and say "Where's Halo? Where's Call of Duty? I feel like playing that multiplayer now." But back in the day, it was a staple of my childhood.

Amazing!Still one of my top 20 games. Better multiplayer than Quake back in the day!

Goldeneye for its time was a great innovation of gaming. The first proper multiplayer for FPS in my opinion, i spent countless hours with friends on each map and the secret unlock maps too. The campaign was fun, it did kind of stick to the film and was enjoyable.

But bringing it back will it be truly good or just a bit of nostalgic fun, im going for the second one. It may be fun and all but it wont capture what the original had as todays market is dominated by COD, Halo etc.

To compare it to something, i would say its like your first car, at the time it was the best and totally cool but as years went by you got something newer and better. You wouldnt dream of driving round in the first car again full time ( unless you had a kick ass first car) , but given the chance to relive past glory with the chance to drive it one more time you would easily take it, to remind you of the good old days.

Goldeneye is what made me go to PC FPS. I HATED THE CONTROLS.

Then again, playing multiplayer explosives only with 500 proximity mines and remote mines and rocket launchers in a tiny level like complex. XD

MUCH DEATH WAS TO BE HAD.

It was way back in my childhood, I loved the movie and game, I still have the 64 game. The wii version looks great! but if it wasn't for craig, I would buy it, Id rather rent it.

Goldeneye was one of my first FPS, endless hours of multi-player with DK, paint-ball, and prox mines. When i played by myself, I used to draw things on the walls with the paint balls, it was amusing, I would really like to see a new version or a new game like this, I mean there are other FPS, but this was purposely funny.

It sucks that it's going to be on the Wii. It has me worried control-wise and obviously, the graphics.

Goldeneye was after school, grabbing a few friends, starting up my beloved N64 and having a great time playing goldeneye. I loved it because i knew all the secrets where the guns were and so on and so forth. Anyone who has played it in its time had to love it.
