This is the same guy who leaked the Nintendo direct 3 days before.

Edit:

Turns out the guy did it to expose how media uses shittty sources, well thats what he says. Its fake anyway

 

[EverydayBeast]

One of the most successful FPS games of all time it’s offensive there hasn’t been an HD port of Goldeneye

 

[Lognor]

Only xbox and switch? No ps? Who owns the rights?

 

[Hardensoul]

I would love it, so far to me with that direct it feels the Switch launch again! 2nd half of year is not yet fully revealed!

 

[Coolwhhip]

One of my favourite games ever. I made a calendar to count down the days until its release as a kid.

 

[Banjo64]

Only xbox and switch? No ps? Who owns the rights?

Basically the rights to the game are split between Nintendo & Rare (MS) and the James Bond estate. All signs point towards an imminent release: Xbox full achievement list on the database complete with images and game thumbnail and renewed trademarks, Nintendo paying to successfully appeal a ban on the game in Germany etc.

Call me crazy, but I'd settle for THAT ^ playable on current hardware.

 

[Nikana]

That would be a cool blast from the past. I played that Perfect Dark remake the other day and it's still a cool game.

 

[Dream-Knife]

One of my favorite games ever and my first FPS.

I really hope this isn't locked to that expansion pass. Hopefully it comes to PC in that case.

MS also needs to port the PD remake to PC too.

 

[Kokoloko85]

I wanna see Perfeck Dark 64 too

 

[Knightime_X]

Lets hope they add modern fps controls

 

[Ailike]

I wanna see Perfeck Dark 64 too

The XBLA version was perfectly servicable.

 

[CS Lurker]

The XBLA goldeneye is amazing (HD, 60fps). I would never play an (untouched) N64 version ever again.

 

[Crew511A]

Didn't we already know this from the leaked achievement list?

 

[Badlucktroll]

was silly with both big heads and paintball

 

[blacktout]

Welp.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Welp.

How to be hated in two easy steps. Good lesson learnt though.

 

[Badlucktroll]

Welp.

 

[chromhound]

i believe this. The achievements were leaked.

*** damn -_-

 

[ManaByte]

Welp.

 

[RoyalLaFlame]

Another Fire Emblem in the second half of the Year


What are you doing step-Nintendo

EDIT: Fuck, but still

 

[Quasicat]

Although it sucks that he was a fake, his last couple of predictions seem very believable.
There is so much proof that Goldeneye is coming to both the Switch and Xbox sooner rather than later, plus the WiiU ports of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are safe since there are already so many ports from last gen.

 

[Sosokrates]

Welp.

Well, somebody posted him in the direct thread and other forums so I was not the only oerson who was fooled.

I mean, tell that to Nintendo lol.

same, and even to a bigger extend for Perfect Dark HD... still in my opinion a textbook remaster of a game. such absolute perfection.
even tho they remade every single asset from scratch they, managed to make the game look presentable on an HD TV but also keep the style perfectly faithful.

PD HD basically looks like what your rosetinted childhood memories tell you the original looked like

4J Studios doesn't get nearly enough credit for that remaster!
they also never got much praise for their PS3 port of Oblivion, which was an early PS3 game and was superior to the 360 version in every way (better textures, draw distance, performance, lighting, shadows etc.), which was unheard of at the time and very rare even in the later years of that generation

 

[Tams]

You lot need to get off Twatter.

That makes it ok then.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Welp.

This guy, gives up before the big finally. Should have waited until the next Nintendo show and then penned the biggest fantasy he could think of.

 

[Sosokrates]

Is that a question or a statement?

Homie said Xbox and Nintendo exclusive. I dont think he had it in him anymore.

if GoldenEye HD will ever be released it will almost 100% be Nintendo and Xbox exclusive. Nintendo seems to own some of it, and so does Microsoft of course, so this would make the most sense, especially knowing why it was cancelled last minute in the first place.
it was cancelled because the HD remaster could not run on the Wii, and so Microsoft's offer was that Nintendo could release the N64 version on Virtual Console instead, which Nintendo of course declined as they would get the shitty ROM re-release while Microsoft had the shiny new version on 360.

 

[Craig of War]

That dude a fraud but i still believe it is coming

 

[01011001]

I mean, everything is pointing towards it. I wonder what the holdup is tho. maybe they have some special release timing in mind...

Probably gone to announce it at the Xbox game show this year since it did not get announce at the Nintendo Direct

 

[hybrid_birth]

Do the enemies still have a constipated look on their face?

Nintendo and Ms must dig through some license doo doo to get this released.

Nah. Rare doesn’t own shit. Nintendo just owns the original code. Eon gives the go ahead. And the lady in charge is picky.

Interview: The real story behind GoldenEye HD, as told by its directors | VGC

Co-leads break their silence on the game they say will never release…

www.videogameschronicle.com

CT: Yeah, I think somebody [at Nintendo] found out about it. That’s the only explanation.

So after a decade of speculation, can you finally give us the definitive answer: why was GoldenEye XBLA cancelled?

CT: From our side, we just heard that one group didn’t want to do it anymore – or was unhappy that the game that they believed originated on their platform was going over to Xbox. I can understand it. If you look at it from a purely mechanical point of view, Nintendo paid for the game originally for their platform – it wouldn’t have existed without them.

ME: Nintendo bought the license for the original game and then basically paid Rare to make the game for them. It wasn’t published or owned by Rare in any way.

Bro!!! =)

Im glad that Nintendo and Microsoft have the honor in get Goldeneye....

Playstation with Jim Ryan, he doesn't deserve it.

I agree. I have so many fond memories of playing goldeneye multi-player with kids on the street. Proximity mine's were so much fun.

We are just two dudes in a Rad Bromance.

 

[ParaSeoul]

Watch there still be daily rumor threads from twitter accounts no ones heard of.

 

[Lognor]

But this fake rumor was based on something tangible though, right? Still likely to happen

 

[Inviusx]

Love it. Twitter leakers need to be exposed.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

This guy get any leaks about the potential Ubisoft acquisition? He's got a good track record.

 

[Halo is Back]

People are gullible, news at 11.

 

[bitbydeath]

Just posted this in another thread.

 

[Ozriel]

I'm not sure how he thinks he's exposed anything. Unlike his con, most of these so called insiders publicize their 'leaks' ahead of announcements

 

[StealthGoblin]

WW HD you say? In.
