Can't wait. I still play XBLA Perfect Dark often. These games are all-time classics.
I don't agree. These games have a unique, satisfying feel to the shooting and use concepts which are still novel to this day. And the level design still rocks.

Why bother with that when the composer uploaded his original works in full quality master before being compressed and cut down for the N64 years ago: https://www.grantkirkhope.com/goldeneye-007/

Switch will just be the original game on NSO.

I’m buying it for sure, but my gut tells me it’s not going to hold up well.
Should be great on Steam Deck.

Cannot wait for people to find out how bad these old games age without the nostalgia goggles

Would this be based on the same remaster that was almost finished but cancelled, or is it a completely new remake from the ground up?

Perfect Dark remaster is still awesome on Xbox. I expect the same from this

I play "these old games" all the time. They're a product of their time, sure, but they hold up just fine. This isn't just the game running on the N64 either. The Perfect Dark port on the X360 added widescreen and ran at 1080p/60fps which made a world of difference. This should be the unreleased fully remastered version of Goldeneye that was leaked.
I'd honestly play the N64 version of Goldeneye over almost any of the pile of AAA cinematic experiences that have released in the last decade. There's a reason nostalgia goggles exist, you don't get them for games that weren't any good, except Dynowarz because you piloted Dinosaur mobile suits.

One morning you wake up and you’ve become someone who’s excited about the idea of others being disappointed. Scary.

Absolutely nostalgia goggles here.
There's a pretty big gap between liking something of old because you played it as a kid and actually holding up fine 25 years later.

My 16 year old brother regularly plays shooters like CS:GO, Fortnite, Valorant, Apex Legends, etc. etc. He recently downloaded Goldeneye and Perfect Dark on his PC emulator.
They're now his favorite single player shooters of all time.

Sure, he is just one person, but he's at least proof that someone can still have fun with these games without having really grown up with them. You can't just assume that most people aren't going to like the remake with such confidence.
I guess we'll see when it releases. I don't ever see many bad things being said about the PD XBLA remake, so I don't necessarily expect that for this one either.

I literally still play smash bros, GoldenEye, and perfect dark on the 64. They're still incredibly fun, moreso than most games. They hold up extremely well in my opinion.

Exactly. So why should we assume everything old and well-loved is solely carried by nostalgia?
I used to love playing Robocop on the C64 as a kid, but it's literally unfinished, un-completable, bug-ridden garbage that they had the gall to charge people £10.99 for. At around the same time, I used to love playing Space Harrier at the arcades and I still love playing Space Harrier because that game is god damn fucking amazing even now.
And for what it's worth, I played GoldenEye 007 in 1997 as a 22-year-old weeb who was harshly critical of most western software at the time and it blew my mind.
'It's just nostalgia' is and always has been a low-effort and baseless criticism.

So what did you mean exactly? Cause it sure sounds like that. But whatever you tell yourself I suppose.

Didn't play the original PD but after the trailer for the new one I bought the XBLA version and thought it was great. Tried to play Perfect Dark Zero after and despite enjoying it in 2005 I got bored and stopped playing.

You can already try it on pc or a modded xbox 360. Its just like the perfect dark remaster on 360.

Does Pennywise just own a PlayStation? I’m trying to figure out his angle for coming in here and trying so hard to deflate the hype.
What a clown.

Wrong. Im replaying Goldeneye thru RetroArch currently it had me hooked for hours. Just remap the C button to the right stick and enjoy.

No one will play this expecting it to play like a shooter made in 2022.
Don't be such a spoilsport lol.

I still play N64 all the time. Goldeneye and PD multiplayer is on constant rotation with my friends.
