Goldeneye 007 defined local multiplayer back on the N64, but times have changed since the Nintendo glory days. James Bond's Xbox outing deserves online modes.
It's not for separate purchase anyway. It can only be downloaded through Rare Replay. It was part of the stipulation Nintendo made in relation to it being re-released at all.
^^I get that but we have had years of online to the point where people just miss that close bonding they grew up with. So if your friend ever wants to come over, why not play some goldeneye to reminisce?
Because I wouldn’t buy goldeneye for the very one off chance he ever does make it down here. We keep in contact thru gaming but it’s silly to remake a game in 2023 and not allow some form of peer to peer connection. The split screen can be the bonus.
Yeah it's not really up to Microsoft.. Nintendo Switch online is capable of emulating local multiplayer, while Xbox live isn't. That's why some N64 games can play online multiplayer despite never having internet capability on the console itself. That magic isn't possible on the Xbox Live network which is why it's local multi only. Definitely wish it had online multiplayer, and I'm sure Microsoft does too.
I hope you’re kidding. There is NOTHING Nintendo online can do that Microsoft online can’t. This is the result of some deal that we aren’t privy to the information. If the online will be added late or something is one thing but even then, it will have fizzed out by then. This is simply a missed opportunity.
I don't this so. I'm guess part of the deal with Nintendo to allow this on Xbox was them not outshining the Switch with the updated version of the XBLA leak.
Literally everyone I know that loves this game, loved the multiplayer not the campaign. It was completely pointless without the multiplayer. People will play it for 10 minutes and say “well there that was, cool……” and immediately uninstall it
Who in the world thought it was a smart idea to relase goldeneye without multiplayer? Who thought it was smart to not have local coop? Ffs they had it on the nintendo 64.
Whaat that was the best bit, id even be down for some split screen MP where its internet but it still shows the screens get some olds school vibe in it.
no need to buy this then.
the lack of multiplayer is baffling...
Only thing that makes sense in my head is they have a better HD remaster coming out and it will have online
Doesn't make sense why they didn't put online multiplayer in the xbox version.
Total downer
