This is the crazy part; Black Ops seemingly will with Headset support; because there's a BO Edition of it coming out.
It'd be a missed opportunity if GE doesn't have that, perhaps the delay of BO Wii (I heard there was) is also to add that in?
I can't really see the missing dead zone options on split screen mode as a big issue because you actually have five different profiles, but there could be some pointer 'pros' who want to adjust it perfectly when they play on other's console (I'll surely do that, and that's what I was trying to do @ Eurocom and why I ended up knowing this). In my case, I bet half of my friends will be using classic stlyle, half will be fine with my ultra-sensible/fast scheme
And I think this 'one dead zone for everyone on split screen' thing could be memory related.
For the graphics, I spotted another thread with the story and mocap videos and someone was speaking about the visual appeal. Well, to have everything in this thread, I think everyone has to wait and see this game on a proper setup. Not the upscaled trailer footage, not the events split screen footage, but real component, 480p good screen stuff. I played/watched SP and MP GoldenEye @ E3, Gamescom and then Eurocom studios, and the latest results are WAY better, with Severnaya as a really eye-catching level.
I guess I'll have more things to tell tomorrow, when we have the new preview up.

New dev doc with the stuntman who plays Bond

Ok, some info may be already known:
http://www.revogamers.net/avances/goldeneye-007-impresiones-eurocom-702/1.html
Some bits in English:
GoldenEye 007 Producer Dawn Pinkney did the Severnaya demonstration. She played with the pointer because, for her, it feels more realistic
http://www.revogamers.net/avances/goldeneye-007-impresiones-eurocom-702/1.html
Some bits in English:
- Siberia level gets pretty difficult if you ignore stealth
- Mario Club visited the studio several times to overview all accessibility and specially controls. Great help from Nintendo team, lots of Focus Testing @ Eurocom, too. Remember 3 control types (classic, pointer, beginners), 5 sensitivities + custom for pointer aiming.
- EMP hitting right when Bond reaches Severnaya. Smartphone already prepared to avoid it, but what about Bond and the falling planes/helicopters?
- Again, engine evolved from Dead Space: Extraction. Near textures detail, effects and destructible parts are great.
- The new tank will be a prototype, not any old war relic. You can shoot copters down.
- You go to Barcelona dance club to meet. Your contact is Agent García. Lots of references to Bond movies style here, extended introduction scene with no shooting and you'll even have Craig sayingValentin. Drinks invitations, facial scanning, lots of people dancing (good crowd effect there) and that Deadmau5 & Kaskade track being mixed in the bg."I owe you one" in Spanishscene, then the action comes with a surprise...Valentin
- We played a lot of MP split screen. Proximity Mines come with one of the sniper layouts. In melee mode, you can enlarge your hands and arms :lol No exact/remember levels from N64 game. And I got killed A LOT by CCP users... I think they could have some advantage over pointer users!

oh, two more things...
online will include the 10 MP maps, unlockable weapon layoutsand rankings ala MW Reflex. And we tried some cool modifiers; with one of them you die if you touch any other character and with other you die (explode) if you stay still for 3+ secs. Awesome for anti-snipers :lol

Well, for me this thread reaching 30+ pages is a clear indication of the strength of the brand. And it's not only GAF's reaction that's been massively positive -- Nintendo and Activision have managed to build a genuine sense of anticipation around this title. The nature of media coverage in general affirms this (or seems to).
It is worth noting that pretty much all the marketing is based on an approach that uses the original Goldeneye game (and to a lesser extent the movie) as a foundation, meaning it goes back to the brand strength, as opposed to building on some other facet of the product.
In my opinion, The Conduit is a good game that failed commercially because of the lack of a hook. (That game's marketing department really should have focused more on the X-Files conspiracy angle.) Goldeneye Wii has a strong hook, and that is the brand (and everything it implies).
Maybe I'm wrong about my sales predictions. But I'm anticipating Black Ops to at least equal the sales of Waw and Reflex, as the overall quality has been improving with each subsequent CoD release on Wii. At the same time, the push Goldeneye has been receiving, coupled with the love millions of gamers feel for the N64 original, should take it to lifetime sales of 2+ million units.

asked about this in the black ops thread
seems to be asumptions due to a tweet about more infor coming later in the year, people believe that it means anytime up til end of year, plus Nintendo UK does not have this listed as coming soon on it;s site...that and the lack of media etc compared to GE... I dunno am still hopeful it comes out on time.

So is Amazon the only retailer offering an pre-order bonus/discount for this game or are there other deals out there?

Amazon has a discount? I know they have the Goldeneye DVD but I don't see a discount.
Anyway to answer your question, yes...
Best-Buy - Tag Mode
Gamestop - Invisibility Mode
Walmart- Oddjob "Cheater" T-shirt
Note, all the in-game modes will be unlocked for everyone after Dec 31.

There's no discount, I should have said bonus "or" discount I guess. Thanks though. That Oddjob T-shirt is awesome.
Rush2thestart said:
Assuming these are "standard" type unlockables, won't they be unlocked for everyone once people post the unlock codes the day of release?
Side note: Someone said one of the other recent Activision Bond games had a level which was essentially the Facility. Is that true? If so, any particular reason it's not in this?

Pff, thanks GOD that's just a modifier.CaVaYeRo said:
So I lost all interest in this game when they were focussing on the Classic Controller and not implimenting WiiMote pointer controls. But are the pointer controls now in? Or do they mean something else when they say "pointer" controls? To me, it's pointless to make a Wii FPS without WiiMote pointing for aiming...

The comment from that revogamers link was interesting, the one about the pointer using being defeated by many CCP users. Might this mean that autoaim is enabled for dual analogs in multiplayer by default, you think, or was the comment specifically talking about melee mode (which would give an understandable advantage to CCP users if you had to jiggle to punch)?

Pointer controls are in the game, IGN's latest preview focuses on them.

"That's right, we finally wrap our mitts around the Wii Remote and nunchuk this time. And we like it."
GameplayWhore said:
Well you also have to factor in, player ability.
I mean naturally there will be great classic controller players, the same as there are terrible pointer controllers.
I will however assume if there isn't much autoaim (There is it was confirmed in the Nintendo Europe feature) that a great pointer player will beat a great Classic Control player.

If they market it right, I don't see any reason for this not to be true.

If anyone knows how to advertise, its Activision. I expect them to hit all the right notes, but they are releasing to close to Black Ops AND another Bond game. Couple that with the sentiment against the Wii when it comes to these games, I'm wary.
We'll see though. I think it could go either way.

Reviewer seems extremely positive on it. I took a chance and used the $20 credit from Other M at Amazon on this with the golden controller, I'm feeling better about it paying off!

ONM top 5 moments with Goldeneye Wii
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=20794
http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=20794
Watching the special now, I think Nintendo TV is for europe only as it's produced by the ONM guys. Will type this for the US guys till someone gets u-tube up.
Video is over 6 minutes long.
Lots of footage from the BTS videos. Cool, new gameplay in an office and on a construction site.
Ooooh park level footage. Lots of good stuff. Interviews with the produces. Tank level looks great, reminds me of Disaster day of crisis. Snow level has great visuals.
Construction site shows a few frame dips, nothing to worry about though. Jungle level footage too Everything looks very polished and smooth.
Typing as I watch. Producer wants to make a AAA experience for 2010, says game can't be nostalgia only. Largest ever activision team for a wii game (125 team members IIRC), commitment to the highest production values. Multiplayer, stuff shown, facility brings back memories.
Motion capture footage, man wearing lots of balls etc.
Out on 5th November. So like two weeks?

^BEAVIS AND BUTTHEAD LAUGH COMMENCING NOW!!!
on a more serious note would love to check out the new footage and this jsut reinforces in my head the notion that Black ops for wii even though will be great is a mere after thought compared to this in Activisions mind,
Still cannot wait for this game to hit the shelves and give it a go.. I still reckon quite high reviews around 8-9 in some case i reckon Edge 6-7 and euro gamer the same
`Man, this game looks promising to a degree that I really want to buy it now. I Only had Epic Micky and Sonic Colours to buy this winter as I am low on cash but I might bight in for some Goldeneye goodness.
I never thought I'd say this, but holiday season for Wii is very great this year

Those are the games you have to buy, plus DK, possibly CoD AND kirby if you're in America
I think I'll have some cool stuff on the sound dept in some hours, similar to the mocap thing we did.

I heard this when it first came out but I'd like to just comment that one of those guys speaking (not Craig) really seemed persistent on knocking the game despite not knowing much at all about it. I dunno, it just kinda annoyed me. >_>
Anyway, game comes out in almost a week! Where are those ads Activision?
