Activision Trotting Out GoldenEye's Corpse Again?

The N64 game GoldenEye 007 divides most gamers into two camps. If you were a PC gamer, the awkward controls and inferior graphics paled in comparison to the comforting mouse/keyboard configuration and cutting edge graphics found in contemporary shooters Doom II, Quake, and Dark Forces. If you were a console player unfamiliar with the wonderful world of PC FPS games, it was likely your addictive first taste of a genre that exploded in popularity in the following years.

Last year's Wii reboot of GoldenEye failed to recapture the magic of the original, but that's not stopping Activision from propping the game up for one more hurrah. According to net sleuth Superannuation, the company recently registered four web domains for a game called GoldenEye Reloaded.

Until Activision announces its plans for the title, we won't know if it's a full-blown HD remake, a downloadable title for PSN or XBLA, or something completely different.

Well last time they probably should have released for PS3 and Xbox 360. Hopefully they will this time around pray that this title doesnt once again slay the name of a game we all once loved

Hoping for HD remake.

I hope they don't try to turn GoldenEye into Call of Duty.

oddly enough this post came at about the same time as the movie Goldeneye came on. If anyone is wondering it's on Syfy

I thought the Wii reboot was a great game. Controlled and played very nice, and really felt like a Bond game. Only place where it lacked was in the graphics-compartment, but considering it was on the Wii it wasn't terrible. Overall, if you could look past the graphics, the game played great.

I think an HD re-release Perfect Dark style would be great!
by tylerh1701 Monday, June 27, 2011 at 04:24 PM

Crossing my fingers for PSN/XBLA title!!! Although to be honest, I wasn't very impressed by the Perfect Dark port, FPS have come a long way since N64. Still, I'd buy it.

I'm pretty sure it's a 3DS game. Activison Even said @ last years E3 Goldeneye 007 belongs on the 3DS. so that's What I'm betting on.

Failed to capture the magic, eh? Goldeneye Wii got great reviews and sold well over a million copies. I've had a lot of great multiplayer parties with it since it came out; a couple were all-nighters, which harkened back to fun me and my friends had with the original game :)

Weekend At Bernie's. Classic.

The cover image is amazing, keep up the good work, boys.

It would definitely work better on anything OTHER THAN a Wii.
by Louis Marcos Monday, June 27, 2011 at 04:35 PM

Goldeneye was great, but now it seems they're just slapping the name on FPS games t=for a bit more appeal. Rogue Agent was pretty terrible and the Wiimake wasn't that great. I just wish the would release a new one like Nightfire instead of slapping Goldeneye on the new one.

never really got into the james bond games.
by alec gale Monday, June 27, 2011 at 04:49 PM

the remake felt to much like call of duty and not goldeneye. as a person who is tired of COD i was very disappointed.

Dead corpse... isn't that redundundant?
by Ace Karsh Monday, June 27, 2011 at 04:55 PM

Of course it didn't recapture the magic of the original, it wasn't even a remake. It was a "reimagining"
by Parker94 Monday, June 27, 2011 at 05:02 PM

I hope it's an HD remake of the N64 version for XBLA and PSN
by duraigo Monday, June 27, 2011 at 05:12 PM

Never played goldeneyed before, but i would like an HD Remake
