That Gold CC Pro looks sweet. I already have the black one though from MH Tri and would probably play this game with the Wii Remote+Nunchuk.

The inclusion of Facility is awesome. I think QoS had it too.

The graphics look extremely disappointing, even for a wii title.

Revogamers posted a preview for the Gamescom build, along with a few pictures of the Gold CCP. The article is in Spanish, but one of the staff posted a summary at NeoGAF

Also, some screenshots of it:

- New Jungle level, set in Africa (SP). Plane crash, stealth approachig to enemies, breakable covers, use your SmartPhone to aim auto guns to enemies. - Different enemies IA phases. Music dinamically changes depending on action-stealth moments - Online with experience points and ranks, unlock guns. - Wiimote + Nunchuck not yet shown, but yu'll use D pad to change weapons, tilt the Nunchuk to take a look from the corners, Wiimote movement for melee atack, buttom for reload. They say they'll have loads of config options, sensititivity and whatnot for each control scheme, including a Gamecube controller one. - You can mix your control schemes during MP. It can be 4 Wiimote-Nunchuk or 1 Classic, 1 Wiimote, 1 Zapper, etc - Localized VA confirmed for Euro zone, including Spanish VA. - Time trial mode will be there. - Golden Klobb won't exist. Golden CCPro takes the spotlight, Wii Zapper compatible.

Look, I'll be upfront... I'm buying this no matter what. I have to, I'm a whore. I need to make that clear.


Anyway, rant time....

So, if you're changing the main character, updating the storyline to 2010, adding new levels (Africa WTF?), and FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING the motivations and backgrounds of basically every character except Bond... then doesn't it CEASE TO BE GOLDENEYE?

I wanted this so much to not be a cash-in on name nostalgia. GoldenEye, as a film, could've easily been the background for another very good game. As it stands, this is just some random Bond adventure with, I'm assuming, a weapon called GoldenEye in it. Sadly, that makes this kind of just as bad as 'GoldenEye: Rogue Agent'.

The update to 2010 is what really bugs me, because it means that all the characters change. Trevelyan can no longer be the child of Lienz Cossacks and have the same motivations... you can't have old Soviet generals... it fundamentally changes the fabric of the plot. Shit, when they said Zukovsky was now going to be a nightclub owner in SPAIN who wants to buy/owns a soccer team? I just. don't. ing. get. it.

Sorry, I've been meaning to rant here for a while, I just never got around to it. I still think this has the potential to be a good game, but it seems ridiculous to me that you release two Bond games on the same day, one original and one based on a film, yet the film-based one likely has as much to do with a real film as Bloodstone does.

So, fine, throw in the facility, throw in the dam, throw in 006 (is he still Trevelyan?)... but it's still just not GoldenEye. I'm trying to be optimistic, but nothing I've read so far about the plot has done anything to ease my fears.

First, let me say I totally understand where you're coming from, 007 (most appropriate username, btw). Why call it GoldenEye when it has almost nothing to do with the movie or the N64 game?

Well, for basically the same reason they stuck GoldenEye to the Rogue Agent title. They could've called it 007 or Bond or whatever but they called it GoldenEye. I suppose to Activision the name meant more than the movie and the game: it carried a reputation as one of the groundbreaking console FPSs, four-player splitscreen, and a ton of options. You could compare it to "Legend of Zelda" having less and less to do with Zelda, but the name staying nonetheless.

To the gaming world GoldenEye means a high-quality FPS and if Activision had just polished up the old levels it would be called a lazy remake to milk an old franchise. Mention the word "GoldenEye" and a gamer would tell you about 4-player shootouts in Facility, not a satellite and a rogue 006.

Yeah, I get *why* they're doing it, but it just doesn't make me any happier about it. Plus, the bottom line is that they're trying to sell it to gamers who, well, weren't really old enough to have been into GoldenEye when it came out. Now I feel old. Crap.

The decision will always baffle me, though, as I guarantee that they could've just let the graphically enhanced, online multiplayer re-release on the 360 come out and have made just as much, if not more, money than they'll make from this. That's what bugs me the most, is knowing that if this game is beyond terrible, it's the reason that re-release will never see the light of day, even though all reports say it was basically done.

Best Game Ever. I still play it to this day and have a blast playing it. I have my Wii Modded, and have all the OG games. I still find myself going back and playing Goldeneye for hours. I do hope the re-release this so everyone can be able to play it again. I would like to see be released for the 360 in possible HD, which I heard may "still" may be in the works.

There was that "leaked" video, or was that Perfect Dark? PD has some levels from Goldeneye anyway - probably truer to the game than this.

And this game is basically Call of Duty - Goldeneye: Rouge Agent edition.

Thank god for the classic control options! Trying to use the motion controls on this would have me tossing a Wiimote thru my flatscreen.

So this comes out TOMORROW. No reviews yet: there must be an embargo in place.

It seems like 90% of the game that come out are not reviewed until release day . Fable 3, DJ Hero, Fallout New Vegas, and plenty of other solid games did not have any reviews until the day of release (or very close to it). I really hate this trend.

That being said, this shipped out from Gamefly last night. Looking forward to playing a (hopefully) good bond game again! The lack of movies has really made me itch for some more bond-age (Haha. Get it? I'll be here all night people).

Good little review about the game over at IGN. Scored a 9/10. I was waiting to see how it would come across, I might just have to pick this up now...

/\

Word, if reviews are as good as that from every where else I'll go pick it up at Kmart to get that free Gold Classic Controller. Mmmm.

Here's my friend code for multiplayer if anyone wants to play:

So this game isn't a total piece of Activision shit? Color me very surprised.

I too was very surprised by the reviews. I was expecting it to be a critical disappointment similar to "The Conduit".

I'm actually excited to play a Wii game now.

I was expecting it to be total shit in every way, shape, or form. So even merely "good" reviews would have surprised me. The fact that it's getting 9s blows my mind.

Just picked up the CE at Kmart, VERY excited to play this. Should provide a fair amount of fun, based on the reviews. The original is EPIC and as long as this comes close it should be ok. Besides the gold classic controller is wicked awesome!

wow

I'm not honestly sure how long it has been since I've played GoldenEye on the N64, but this version on the Wii is atrocious. I played multiplayer with my fiancee tonight and while some brings back memories, I'm about ready to buy a damned N64 used.
