I was watching, got down to the last 5 minutes, went to do something, came back to check and it had gone straight away. Doesn't matter too much since I asked for it for christmas so I couldn't really buy it anyway.

Anything worth buying seems to disappear within seconds in their deals so I'd be surprised if someone here had managed to snag a copy. I was keeping a look out to see if it could tempt me but whilst another CCP would be nice, there are other games on the way I'd prefer to put that £30 towards. Not that I would have stood a chance as by the time I'd got the page to load properly, they'd all gone anyway...
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 Burny said: These developers didn't leave much to speculation How long was it between it was announced to be in development and that video "clearing everything up"? [i can imagine speculation over the characters abilities, the differences in the maps etc/ from that video for starters (I've forgotten most of it)] Like I said I haven't been following it, so that might've been released right after it was announced.
Burny Posted November 22, 2010 Posted November 22, 2010 (edited) That particular Video wasn't released until comicon. Still, every coverage from E3 and after I came across made it clear, that this wasn't a mere remake. And despite some people crying on about how disappointed they are that this isn't a remake, I must say that it's probably the best thing they could have done. From what I remember of Goldeneye, I wouldn't want to play it today. The only thing that I might like are some of the multiplayer maps, but those belong to Rare. Edited November 22, 2010 by Burny
marcel Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 black ops gets a patch to solve the problems with the freezing wiis with lan adapters online(on the matchmaking screen), anyone know if goldeneye is getting the same treatment? Really hope so, rebooting the wii multiple times is annoying.
LostOverThere Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 Been playing through this again, and I have a question about the ending... Reveal hidden contents When Bond and Nataliya are kissing, I always miss the very last line Bond says before the credits roll. He mumbles. What does he say?
marcel Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 good news guys, i finally got some smart(ish) answer from activision about the matchmaking freezing problem with the lan adapter: Quote Hallo Marcel,We will release some patches for goldeneye 007 to improve some points of the game, and that includes the lan adapter problem thats also found in CoD black ops. Unfortunatly we do not have a specific releasedate to share with you at this time. With kind regards, Niels Activision Customer Support Team Its not known if thats an patch for there servers, or something simular to the black ops patch.
Adthegreat Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Cool! That is great news, I wonder what the patch will include. Before Black Ops, I didn't even know that Wii games could be updated, but this sounds very promising. Hopefully there will be some multiplayer fixes. (better lobby, host migration etc.)

I think it's something like "I couldn't have done that myself" , you're right though he does mumble that line big style. Anyway, excellent news about the patches! Adthegreat said: Hopefully there will be some multiplayer fixes.

Adthegreat Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 Even if that is the only thing that is updated I would be very very happy.

Hope theyll just copy the mario kart wii technigue(or some other nintendo game, cant remember witch one it was) when you quit a game the character will be taken over by bots and it accually will cost the quitter points/XP. Could someone from n-europe contact activision directly, i really want to know when they are planning to fix it and why it takes so long to get fixed. Its so hard for normal people to get in touch with the developers of the game, look at black ops wii the developers LISTEN to the community and therfore the problem is already fixed for them. Lan adapter problem is really bugging me thou, not to say that its frequent but it shouldnt even happen to begin with. Sometimes i think that the multiplayer for goldeneye wii(the most importent part of the game) didnt get much bug testing time.
darksnowman Posted December 1, 2010 Posted December 1, 2010 I played this ever so briefly at / nando's / on Sunday night. I didn't expect much and didn't get blown away... but I've somehow developed a sort of curiosity about what this new GoldenEye could be like. I didn't even complete the first mission because, well, I'm no CoD player and this looking down the barrel of the gun lark isn't a playstyle I (currently) have in my repertoire. RedSteel was the last FPS I played and before that, the last one I properly played would have likely been GoldenEye/ Duke Nukem. So imagine sticking someone who's unfamiliar with how FPS games have changed into a remake of an FPS he used to know like the back of his hand... death, death and death. And I spotted RedShell's kills to deaths ratio posted in the online thread. I have the urge to sort that out for him. :wink:

Technically, my brother has it.. but I've been hogging it since the day he brought it home (I don't think he likes it ) I'll definitely share my Friend Code some day soon. I've been spreading my time across Banjo-Tooie, World Driver Championship, Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies, The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Goldeneye 007 and, as of Tuesday, NBA Jam. I've never really played an FPS online before.. but I better get in on the action with you guys while it's hot RedShell said: I'd love nothing more than for you to try and do that, Stevo. From what I witnessed at the weekend, you have nothing to worry about, RedShell
marcel Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 Activision can certainly be pleased with the sales of this game, in just 3 weeks the game manages to climb to 300 000 copies sold worldwide*. At this rate the game could well be a million seller by the end if this year, and that’s a really great achievement for a 3rd party Wii game, finally shows that quality titles do sell. Yea the information is from VGchartz but its the only thing we got for actual numbers, don’t thing there far off the actual numbers. Unless someone can prove me wrong ofcourse. (*=Sales does not include the black friday sales from the US)
MindFreak Posted December 2, 2010 Posted December 2, 2010 I finally completed the third level - I don't have much time to play any games at the moment. I hated that level, I died SO many times! And imagine my frustration, when I finally completed the level, I hadn't done all objectives on Agent or 007 or whatever difficulty setting I am playing this on (I think it's the middle one). Tomorrow I receive Donkey Kong so GoldenEye will be postponed indefinately; not that it's a bad game, I just want to play DKCR more.

If you keep dying, play on Operative. The enemies are considerably easier.
nekunando Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I cleared this last night and, whilst it was pretty good, it definitely didn't possess the magic of the original N64 game.. but that was to be expected The redesign of characters such as Alec, Ourumov, Xenia and, in particular, Valentin couldn't hold a torch to the original cast and I definitely missed Pierce Brosnan as the protagonist The levels themselves also had much less impact on me and appear less memorable.. but that may be due to only having been through them once. I'll almost certainly go through again on a harder difficulty or maybe even in the classic difficulty Overall, it was definitely worth playing through the campaign but, as expected, it didn't come close to Goldeneye on the N64. I'd actually love to play through the original with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk..

dazzybee Posted December 5, 2010 Posted December 5, 2010 Will people still be playing this after xmas? Going to wait til then, hope people are up for multiplayer fun!

Kav Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 I'll probably start playing this online after Xmas, I'm far too into Black Ops currently to start this online, plus I've not yet unlocked all of the Custom Class Slots on CoD yet and that's my priority at the moment... I must have all the Custom Class Slot available to me so I can have my CoD experience perfectly set up!
Mokong Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 Really loving the single player on this. The changes from the original game and film aren't even bothering me much. Reveal hidden contents Minus the lack of a laser shooting watch. Although only noticed in the train escape scene and was thinking "wait... I don't have a laser beam in my watch WTF?" You can see both single and online they've borrowed heavily from Call of Duty... though I guess you could always say without the original game there would likely be no Call of Duty today. But I do love the being able to lean out from cover feature, bloody awesome and great use of the nunchucks motion control. The single player is also miles above Call of Duty I think. While I thought Black Ops had the best story mode of the CoD franchise, Goldeneye goes above and beyond it. Just in the way you can approach every level. In CoD minus a few sections it's pretty much all out action, shoot shoot shoot. Where here you can choose if you want to go guns blazing or quite and stealthy. Plus there seems to be a fair bit of choice of routes to take to get to the objective. Though having that objective dot leading you where to go I wish they hadn't done that. It does take away a little of the exploration element that the original had. Where you had the main objective plus sub-objectives that you had to search around for. Though that said it doesn't force you to follow that path as much as the CoD games do. So far I'm trying to get around each level as silent as possible. Sneaking up behind enemies and meleeing them, of a silenced headshot. Scoping out an area first working out how many ememies are there and which is the best order to take them out. Love that. Though I wish they didn't have defeated ememies vanish so quickly. I would have liked to have had a bit to worry about in if a dead body might be discovered and setting off an alarm, just to add a bit more tension to it. The online is good. But I'm still perefering Black Ops for online FPS action. Comparing the two the movement in this feels a little slower to BO and I prefer the maps in BO too. I think I've played on most maps on this now and none have really stood out for me and most feel a little over complicated with multiple levels and don't feel as open. Miss killstreaks too, haha, but I guess that would have been a step too far as most of the online feels like CoD minus killstreaks Would like to play more with some N-E players though, so far only had a few games with Redshell which were good. Though with the max number of players being 8 how come they were unable to incorporate even a text chat, never mind a voice chat... where Black Ops allows 10 max and has both text and voice chats
