Announced today, the N64 classic Goldeneye is finally being released on modern consoles. Rare are also including online multiplayer. Hopefully we can get the OcUK community together for some nostalgia fueled matches.

Anyone got any fond memories of the game or multiplayer?
 
Loved Goldeneye back in the day, Facility with proximity mines was class.
If this is as good as the leaked Xbox Live Remaster was then this should be great on Xbox - I assume the Switch Version is literally just the N64 version?

No PC version though, I might actually pickup a Series X again at some point to play this!
The leaked remaster was brilliant, really looking forward to a 4k version to get stuck into. I'm not sure about the Switch version, wondering if online will be similar to their emulation services, which doesn't include matchmaking (from what I understand).
No online multi-player for the Xbox Version apparantly
I've just seen this, really sucks. I hope they implement a system later down the line. The original XBLA version was supposed to include online, seems like a really big omission here.
 
Never understood the hype for this game. I spent more time playing Quake and Unreal on my PC than playing Goldeneye on my N64.
I think for a lot of people this was their introduction to console FPS. It had amazing splitscreen multiplayer, so most will have fond memories. Sure it hasn't aged well on original hardware on modern displays but that is an N64 issue with blur filters. You can achieve a good image with console mods and upscalers. However, the XBLA leak was a really good way to bring it to modern consoles, graphics had been re-worked for HD and control scheme was modern. If it is anything like that, which it likely will be, this will be great.
 
I've got 3 friends coming over on Friday, and I mentioned I have the version that we can't discuss on the forum due to rules about emulation.

They want to play it...we are all over 40 :cry:
It would be nice if MS and Rare could release new version for your Friday meet up!
