It is an enhanced remake of the critically acclaimed 1997 video game of the same name, which was developed by Rare for the Nintendo 64. Both games are, in turn, based on the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye. The game was officially announced by Nintendo at their E3 2010 conference presentation. ... Although Pierce Brosnan starred as Bond in GoldenEye and was featured in the 1997 game, current Bond actor Daniel Craig's likeness and voice will be featured in the game. Judi Dench, who has portrayed M in GoldenEye, will voice her character.

GoldenEye: Source Platform: PC (Source Engine) Release: Out Now Official Website Trailer GoldenEye: Source is a total conversion mod in development using Valve's Source engine.

I remember the last time they got another development team to do a Goldeneye game and..well.....

I really enjoyed the original and I didn't even try out multiplayer but it's not the same development team that's doing this remake and console FPS have moved on so much then that I don't really consider this necessary.

What a game though, I remember the last level being near impossible on the harder difficulties. The last guy was a bullet sponge!

We used to have regular GoldenEye parties back in the days, but I'm not particularly looking forward to this multiplayer-wise. Singleplayer is doubtful because of the lack of Brosnan.

I'd rather just wait for GoldenEye: Source to finish up.

I downloaded GE:S earlier today, in the hopes that other people would want to get our super spy on. I never played GoldenEye before, if I'm honest.

Note: to install GoldenEye: Source, you must own a game on this list: http://store.steampowered.com/search/?category2=16

I remember playing that game as a youngin.  I sucked playing against the older guys, but it was some major fun. It was all about that golden gun
The trailer leaves me wanting more. I can't stop watching it.

I liked the original as much as the next person but I am still skeptical. I do like updating the technology and using Daniel Craig in the game to make it relevant but the new game is not made by Rare. I think people overlook that part. But I will be paying attention none the less.

Given how crappy last Rare games have been all I can do is be happy they're not making it and the last Call of Duties have been at least good, so I do have some high hopes for it!

Regenerating health should be banned. It's silly in any game, from FPSs to World of Warcraft.

Modern gaming right there alright.

To get the complete modern gaming experience then there better be 3ft high barriers dotted across the area so you can crouch behind and become impervious to bullets.

While Nintendo revealed the upcoming Wii-exclusive GoldenEye at its E3 press conference, there was no mention made of fancy, special controllers.

The leaked information (which panned out to be legit) did, however. It showed off two a "gun" shell for the Wii Remote and nunchuk, as well as a golden classic controller. What would those be worth to you?

GameStop seems to think $69.99. The retailer is listing a "James Bond: Goldeneye Controlller" on its website, although it provides no details other than that Activision is behind the peripheral.

Why would anyone buy these? I hope this is fake, but it was apparently on the Gamestop website previously

[Tuffty]

I listened to the Giant Bomb podcast earlier and one of them got to see it at E3. What was interesting about the game was that

- This is not the Goldeneye conversion we know. This is straight up Call Of Duty engine. You hold down a button and you aim down the sights. In multiplayer you have perks. The only sense of nostalgia is in the name and the movie's story. Even the levels, though set in the same locations as the movie, are designed differently.
- Activision found the writer for the Goldeneye movie and had him rework it to better suit Daniel Craig's style of Bond.
