n64 Goldeneye being remade with source engine

Saw this in another forum, and the link is from joystiq. Can't even begin to remember how many days i spent playing the n64 version.

Article & trailer

Same.......this game was.....crazy. Online, and multiplayer?

maybe Im not a true gamer (or that I couldn't afford any gaming system till now), but I don't see the appealing factor of Golden Eye.

Think Metal Gear Solid interplayed with a Hollywood box office smash script.

I've never played it either but there's a large following, almost cult like for the n64 version.

^^ your not a true gamer.

Maybe its just because Goldeneye was the first real 4 person FPS that was any good, but to me this game started it all. In my mind if there hadn't been goldeneye, perfect dark wouldn't exist, and other fps (halo) wouldn't be as good. Granted something else would probably have come along and done what goldeneye did, and then I would be gushing over that game now. But since goldeneye did come out, I can gush over that.

As for the Online Multiplayer. I can't see the game NOT having this. Since it will be on PC, if online multiplayer won't be included, they don't need to bother releasing it.

Out of curiousity does nintendo own the rights to goldeneye, or does rare? If its rare, and since they are now with microsoft, couldn't the original game be remade with these or better graphics for xbox360 (ala resident evil 1 on gamecube)?

This is quite interesting. I have a working N64, this game (and Super Smash Bros) and 2 controllers downstairs in my basement. haha, it'd be cool to play it on my PC. The graphics on the consoles are extremely blurry and blocky, certainly needs some "refreshments".

It's not my fault I couldn't afford any gaming system (other than my old school famicom and gen1 gameboy). Though the best FPS I've played was Strife and Unreal Tournament on PC

this was probably the only reason why i played my n64 as much as i did(i couldn't find super smash bros to play) Oh the days of the head shot magnum and the crazy rcp 90.

golden gun with auto aim off was pretty crazy

amen to that

proximity mines were cool.
Oh, and back then, n64 and goldeneye graphics were pretty sweet......but looking back at it years later.............yeah it look so blocky and blurry.

old news? I heard about this about 2 years ago

played this long time ago when it was extremely unbalanced, maybe it still is. will update in a few minutes after i try playing it again.

It was from like 1996...lol
It used to be state of the art too

Wow brings back a lot of memories, played this with my cousins till the sun came up.

RCP90 was a bs gun, we banned it during multiplay.
