david.dakota Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I'm concerned that with a little over a week to go, we have no reviews. I guess it'll be Friday for the US reviews for its release Tuesday..? I'm gonna call an 8.2.
Retro_Link Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 I'm concerned that with a little over a week to go, we have no reviews. I guess it'll be Friday for the US reviews for its release Tuesday..? I'm gonna call an 8.2. Yeah it does feel a bit wierd, the release is so close, yet somehow it kinda feels like it's in mid development... not in terms of quality, but just in terms of it feels like it's suddenly got to launch and there's been little in the way of previews etc...
D_prOdigy Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 You people are clearly forgetting this is an Activision Wii game.
Captain Falcon Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 You people are clearly forgetting this is an Activision Wii game. Hands up if anybody has seen even a single screen shot for the Wii version of Black Ops? Compared to that game, we've been overloaded with info on this one. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised to find that Activision have an embargo on reviews until the game's release just to make sure all those pre-orders generate sales without any hitches.
david.dakota Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 It wouldve been great to hear the Goldeneye theme sung differently, but other than that, some great titles.
Cube Posted October 25, 2010 Posted October 25, 2010 That's not the GoldenEye theme. This is the GoldenEye theme: Audio

Kav Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 IGN have impressions of online play along with a few videos (I'm posting from my phone so I can't directly post the vids I'm afraid): http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/113/1130863p1.html
Kav Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) wow Wii owners have low standards. Grow up Choze! Edited October 28, 2010 by Kav
Ashley Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Oh sod off. Banned from thread. Yeah I know in terms of flaming or whatever its not particularly great but I can't be bothered to deal with him :p

nekunando Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I'm actually starting to become really excited for this game all of a sudden I can't wait to play it
Burny Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 There's an interesting interview about the game's sound design. It literally doesn't sound like this is some low-budget production.
Sméagol Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I've seen the multiplayer videos on IGN. I think they look cool. The black box mode seems like a fun variation. Looks to me like another FPS on the Wii worth getting.

Only watched the first one and seeing the snow and the huts just took me back It looked pretty nice..
LostOverThere Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Only watched the first one and seeing the snow and the huts just took me back It looked pretty nice.. Oh yeah! And how the player turned around to reveal the massive satellite dish. Nostalgia, bitches.
marcel Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Got the Magazine myself but sinse its already translated on neogaf ill do some copy paste: Dutch [N]Gamer gives Goldeneye a 8.5 Two guys reviewed it. Pro's: finally, we can play as Bond again! The singleplayer is good, the multiplayer is extremely addictive. This game will keep you busy for a long time. Con's: Graphicly not always as good. Singleplayer at times has to much "standard" shooting sequences and some fans may not like the new additions. Conclusion: Excellent Bond game and a good Wii FPS, both things the Wii was in dire need off. The updates make it very interesting voor veteran and newcomers alike. Not as legendary as the original, but we really reccomend it. Review tidbits: - Graphics are good, but at times the framerate takes a dive like in the original game. Some areas are gorgeous (like Severnaya) but the Spanish nightclub has dancing people which don't look to hot. Lighting in this games is great and the interface is good as well. - Several gadgets are not as cool. Whoopie, a smartphone. Expected more from James Bond, the gadget spy. But shooting stuff is the primary goal and it works like a charm. But, after the fantastic remake of the Dam level, it becomes more of an "shoot stuff and go on though" kind of game. But, there is the possibillity to sneak around for stealth. - Updated story is at times different. - Diffilculty of the game is very pleasing. - Detail their multiplayer games, are very positive about. As addictive as the original.
david.dakota Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Excellent news, that review. Lets see a few more rolling in.
Arnieboy Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Preordered this today with the Golden Classic controller. Really looking forward to this now!
canand Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 UNIVERSAL EXPORTS Activision’s European general manager of licensed business David Tyler explains the marketing plan: “Our GoldenEye campaign represents the single largest scale of investment we have ever made in the UK for a title that is exclusive to Nintendo platforms. “In collaboration with Nintendo, we recently shot our TV ad that showcases GoldenEye being played in a very social setting with an ad that feels distinctively ‘Nintendo’. “We’re very pleased with the outcome here and have an aggressive level of media investment in place for the UK, kicking off with the first TV ad which will be broadcast during The X Factor on October 30th.” Source http://www.mcvuk.com/retail-biz/previews/844/GoldenEye-007
LostOverThere Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Despite what people think about the company itself, Activision aren't dumb. They know if they push it, that the brand will sell. They're right, too.
RedShell Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Oh no! N-Europe is under attack! There's an interesting interview about the game's sound design. It literally doesn't sound like this is some low-budget production. Excellent vid. I recently disconnected my surround sound setup (while "spring" cleaning, still haven't put it back together ) but I'll definitely be sure to get it sorted again in time for this game. Awesome character images: http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=140818 Fun with Proximity Mines: http://proxymines.com/
MindFreak Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 I have preordered this now. I have had my doubts but as previews continue to praise the game I have given in and preordered it. Looking forward to having some friends over for some 4-player action packed shooting!
khilafah Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 (edited) Just saw the advert for this on sky sports. Graphics look pretty bad from the advert!! Edited October 30, 2010 by khilafah
