@Wikkid666 I'm not kidding. Forza 8 is a driving sim which I'm not hating, is just not my cup of tea. And as there's been no news about Hellblade II: Ragnarok Killer I'm guessing it won't be out before 2024. I don't mind because, for me, Starfield is my most anticipated game of the year for all formats.
I LOVED this game on N64 (I still have it), but what the hell...it looks like *ss.
I was tempted to play on Switch, so my eyes are less likely to bleed, but I'll just wait for the remake after seeing that trailer. Maybe they'll actually bring the online multiplayer to consoles by the time that's ready.
Yeah it's included. Couch multiplayer works too, but for me it's just easier to get a match going online then it is to get people over to play against.
Yeah, I guess they'd have to modify the game to support that though.
I guess ultimately, what we have is two different approaches.
The Xbox one is 'recreated' with 4K support, high res textures, 16:9 and more modern controls, but no online MP.
The Switch one is the original emulated, so has the same graphics and input etc, but supports online play for the split screen via that weird networked input stuff they did for Mario Kart.
Now they just need to merge the two and we get the ultimate Goldeneye experience :P
@Sully Switch didn't really add it to the game though. It's using the NSO functionality that allows you to play split screen games online by sending input (works for Mario Kart too), still renders split screen though so it's not a 'traditional' online game like we're used to - you might call it 'emulated online multiplayer'.
And while I haven't played Goldeneye on it yet, it was pretty awful on Mario Kart. There's only so much you can do without modifying the game / without the ability to compensate for latency etc.
Xbox doesn't have such a service / functionality today, and I guess they weren't willing to build it for this one game.
There were also rumors that Nintendo licensing affected the feature sets available/that MS were allowed to add to the game, not sure how true those rumors are though.
It is also coming to Switch Online! Very nice! The graphics are dated, but the gameplay is fantastic! Finally 60fps!://www.theverge.com/2023 /1/25/23570607/goldeneye-007-xb ox-release-remaster-nintendo-sw itch
The multiplayer is WHY this game was fun. It has no online on Xbox apparently and I don’t have people come over my house like that anymore because I’m grown grown. It’s like Harry Potter. Its success is because it became more mature as the story went on because its audience grew with it. Really brilliant actually. 26 years ago most, if not all, people that fondly remember this game were living with their parents/family at the time. Had friends houses they’d walk to. All that jazz. It was easy to get a 4 player session during the summer. Now I’m thinking who will I play with with no online? My FPS hating wife? My roblocks playing son? Without online this game is a OK nostalgia trip.
Bingo, this game won't age well but it'll get hyped due to where it's at. Personally I liked it back in the day. It was groundbreaking. These days 100s of games do it better. Plus I grew out of first person shooter during the ps3 360 Era.
Just more of a reason to throw a block party, cook up some hamburger and have fun with the other dads and millennials in the neighborhood that might want to revisit their childhood.
People excited for this lol. I still have my cartridge for N64 but it’s outdated and tired of these MP shooters many years ago. Won’t bother getting it on Switch even with online MP
Goldeneye is only available for digital purchasers of rare replay (which also includes game pass subscribers). If you own the disc, you don't get goldeneye (strange decision).
The Xbox version is a different version of goldeneye that includes 4k/60fps and modern controls (I.e. Dual stick). The Switch version is a straight port (with the single stick aiming system) that uses the NSO emulator for online functionality (same as every other game on NSO)
Well, I stand corrected. Wasn't aware that physical users couldn't download the game (ill try it since I have the disk)
As for the port, I'll be honest that I've never been a fan of the game (Quake 2 on Pc 4 life) and basically noted that 1 had online and not the other one.
Do you play it on Xbox where it might look and run a bit better or do you play it on Switch where it has online but the online in general is f****** terrible.
I think I'll wait until whatever deal Nintendo has going on expires and they release a new version with online in the future.
Is this a joke? They just released the same game with higher resolution support. Emulators have done this ages ago. A remake would have been far better.
AFAIK this was only made possible due to a deal being struck between Microsoft (being the owners of RARE + the code/assets), Nintendo (being the license holder for the original game) and Amazon (current owners of the James Bond franchise).
Basically, MS couldn't release it without Nintendo, Nintendo couldn't put it on NSO without MS, and neither of them could do anything without Amazon (but that's less important when it comes to game platforms I guess).
TLDR: Licensing hell, and we'll probably never see the full remake they were working on for 360.
To add to that I believe Activison had/has the rights Jame Bond games and EA to the Goldeneye name. Meh. They figured it all out. Sony sold the film rights to Amazon. Or Amazon bought MGM, but Sony can still distribute theaters? I forget. It was all a fun mess.
Nah this ain't it, I know alot gonna disagree but they should've just made this free to play, it look like a sega dreamcast game, Classis microsoft very disappointing, it's definitely gonna flop like shenmue 3
After Starfield, this is my most anticipated (semi) exclusive on Xbox - and I'm not kidding.
did not aged well :(
Holy shit it actually happened goldeneye finally and on game pass. That’s awesome definitely a nostalgia feeling.
I can’t wait
GOD DAMN!
