Remaster as in upscaled graphics and leaving the janky controls untouched and unoptimized?? Or as in a whole reimagining that bastardizes the source material?

Interestingly- I've found a few people not only think that there won't be a new control scheme, they actually hope that they don't add one. To their point, I guess the game would fall apart navigating the exact same environments with more responsive controls.

That'd be like playing Goldeneye 64 on a PC with mouse look. It'd be hilariously easy because all of the enemies are tuned to be handleable with the primitive control scheme.

I take it you didn't play the recent GoldenEye rerelease with modern gamepad controls?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Which one? I played the one that was released on Switch, which is just the OG and had the same controls. What do you mean recent? You mean the 2010 remake?

Nah that's the one. January 2023. On Xbox it has options for modern controls. I didn't play it on the switch.

Oh wow, how's it hold up? I think the Xbox version of that 2010 remake came out in 2011, the original was a Wii game. I assume that means they made it backwards compatible.

That's a full on reimagining of the original game, new Bond and everything, so the balance wouldn't be comparable to playing the actual original with modern controls, but I heard it was a better game than you'd expect from messing with the original Goldeneye.

I was talking about the original Goldeneye 64 that came out on Switch's NSO N64 games.

I don't know anything about the 2010 bond game. Blood stone? I had to go look it up, never even heard of it.

What I'm talking about is just a rerelease of the OG N64 Goldeneye. It came out on switch and Xbox earlier this year.

It'd be hard to find because it's just called GoldenEye 007 link

I didn't even know there was a modern control scheme in that, wow! How's that mess with it?
