I probably have negative 1000% interest in this game, but I definitely can appreciate all the performance options. Although it seems in general we were all sold a giant lie (surprise, surprise) again this generation, as most big-budget games don't/can't run at 4K60FPS on either XSX or PS5. Disappointing... :/
I was able to buy Jet Set Radio via the old 360 marketplace website, and it installed on my Series X with no trouble. π I'm assuming it'll work for other titles too.
Did the same for Aegis Wing. It wouldn't redeem through the XSX, but claimed it on the 360 site. (then it installed just fine).
It's not that it isn't working, it was never announced to work with the disc version, and I guess they're not going to do it? To have GoldenEye for $7.50, I rebought Rare Replay digitally. It's more than worth it.
@Nintendo4Sonic Buy a digital copy of rare replay and you can download GoldenEye separately.
My Game Pass ended yet I can still play GoldenEye just fine.
GoldenEye on Xbox and As Dusk Falls. The Xbox port of 007 is pretty good overall! Not as good as Perfect Dark's port, but still very playable. Nearly done secret agent and getting cheats whenever they arise.
@UltimateOtaku91 Truth is, I played GoldenEye first, before seeing the film. π Oh yeah, for us who are old enough to have lived through the early years of 3D, distance fog was a common visual effect. You should check out how thick the fog is in the original release of Turok: Dinosaur Hunter on N64! π
@UltimateOtaku91 *1997. N64 wasn't out in 95.
Also as others have said, they're keeping the original blue hinge to a small degree, I guess? I get its more "authentic", but the differences in the two ports is annoying to me. Should've been uniform across both.
That said, I'm having a blast with it on Series X, as I did with the leaked remaster on PC 2 years ago. Amazing game.
@kihaennem GoldenEye 2010 is a shameless COD clone. Terrible level design, awful objectives, and endless enemy fodder cause don't think, shooty pew pew. 007 is supposed to be a SPY, not Rambo.
You shouldn't forget about the Play Anywhere feature! For all the endless Gamepass stories here, Play Anywhere is one of the best yet least promoted Xbox features! Crazy.
@Kaloudz In actuality, most of my third party games these days I get for Xbox, cause I like the platform/ecosystem more than Sony in recent years. FF5/Maiden of Black Water was fun, and I really hope the entire series gets remastered. That said, I'd say FF5 was the "worst" title, so for people who maybe started with 5, the older titles are much better. π (not counting 4 as that's new for me)
@Kaloudz FF4 is coming to every current platform, even PC, so the options are vast. π I'm torn between either Switch or PS in this case , since I've played the others on both Sony and Nintendo. I like consistently. π
@FatalBubbles Someone like myself is a massive Bond fan, and the game was and still is excellent. When the leaked XBLA port released 2 years ago, it was even better going through it again with the enhanced textures and controls.
I guess it depends what one means by "better" shooters now. Sure, the underlying technology is better, modern graphics are better, but since spy themed games are so rare, combined with most shooters being online multiplayer-focused now and have awful campaigns, I yern for a resurgence of objective-based shooter campaign design that you could approach in several different ways, like GoldenEye, like Perfect Dark, like Timesplitters, etc... hell even the older Medal of Honor games had great campaigns.
I really just want a high quality, modern spy themed FPS, lol. Hopefully Perfect Dark 202X will fulfil that. (or Agent 64 on Steam when it's finished).
@FatalBubbles An HD re-release to one of the most beloved games of its era, selling over 8 million copies at the time, from when Rare was in their heyday, that influenced an entire generation of shooters and proved their viability on console, and it's not only the best Bond game ever made, but one of the best spy themed games; a genre in desperate need of a comeback. Millions of players have fond memories of playing endless hours of multiplayer with their friends, on top of the game having an absolutely Stellar campaign.
That's just a quick summary of why GoldenEye is so deeply desired for re-release. I'm right there too. It's ridiculous we're still waiting.
