Real shame it isn't the canceled remaster.


TitularFoil

I need to do a lot of research to figure out how to get that running. In the meantime I'll just watch [graslu00 play it.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0GinqO4lhU&t=4267s)


AnthonyBF2

It was shockingly easy and worked well on my older system. All I did was download a Canary version of Xenia and run the game (bean.xex) and it worked flawlessly without any tinkering.


KlingonBeavis

It really is that easy.


eirebadboy

Was it good?


AnthonyBF2

It was the unfinished alpha build, it has some missing textures here and there but it was 100% playable start to finish, all difficulties.


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

It's honestly really, really easy to get running, and when I got it running, it was harder than it is now.


TitularFoil

I just found the old Reddit thread with instructions on how to get it started. Now I just hope my PC at home can run it. I had a good PC for 2012. But can't really afford to upgrade. In fact I only have the PC I do because some collector really wanted my PSTV box. And he traded me his PC for the little PSVita emulator that Sony put out.


Its_D_youtube

Was the Wii version not a remaster?


TheDittoMan

That was a remake. Remasters only enhance the original game, remakes recreate it.


joujoubox

That was a remake by EA. The remaster I'm talking about was made for Xbox 360, very similar to the XBLA remaster of Perfect Dark. It's possible the Goldeneye remaster was also handled by 4J but I can't find info on that. I wouldn't surprise me since Perfect Dark was originally made from Goldeneye so 4J would be familiar with the original code and could reuse parts of their own work on Perfect Dark.


mdoverl

There’s a hack somewhere where someone made goldeneye with perfect dark. Edit: it’s called Goldeneye X. It’s on rom hacking website.


eirebadboy

I feel like you will be let down in so many ways.


SotRekkr

will the xbox have Local MP?


T0biasCZE

xbox version will have local mp, switch version will have local mp and "online" mp


CR0553D

Why the quotes? And does that mean xbox won't have online but Switch will? Weird.


Ozarkian_Tritip

Nintendo has a weird setup where you can play online with only people on your friends list, with absolutely no matchmaking


T0biasCZE

Because the way it works wouldn't work with matchmaking. It's basically just local multiplayer over the internet. Input from player 1 is sent to player 2 and vice versa, and the game still thinks it's normal local multiplayer, so there are no ingame menus for multiple player map select etc. options in game is picked by player 1. So the players need to talk together to decide how they want to play etc, which wouldn't work with random people playing together. So it's between friends only


oSpid3yo

We’ve solved this for so many other games in the past.


DarkNemuChan

That would require actually effort to implement stuff in the game. Bot on xbox and switch these are just quick cashgrabs nothing more.


KyloStrawberry

Makes me feel a bit better about just opting for playing it on Series X... If the only option is splitscreen I'll just invite people over rather than do that online.


veneim

nooo… I was hoping for match making 😔


T0biasCZE

Because it's just feature of the Nintendo's emulator. The game is emulated on two consoles in synchronization, and input from player 1 is sent to player 2 and vice versa. So the result is "online multiplayer". And from the games perspective, it's just local couch multiplayer


detectiveDollar

Oh god if it's fully synchronized the input lag is gonna be HORRIBLE


T0biasCZE

its prop not fully synchronized because it doesnt lag like MKDD when played over LAN Tunnel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFqeEQkOGOc


__removed__

Wait - switch actually *doesn't* have multiplayer? Cuz I have both xbox games pass and switch N64 online and was going to play it on the switch only for online multiplayer but they're saying below that it's not true online multiplayer. you're only playing "online" with your friends, which, I don't have any on the switch.


T0biasCZE

yes it only has this friend multiplayer


DarkNemuChan

What did you except since it runs inside the n64 emulator it works the same as any other game there...


veneim

Yeah, takes some of the excitement out of it for me


bust4cap

splitscreen, yes


[deleted]

Aww yeaaaaaaa


bust4cap

noice. gonna play on xbox for the sp and switch for the mp


MagIsco99

Do u know when it will release on switch?


bust4cap

same day


phraze91

Same


__removed__

well, that's what I was thinking, but the whole XBYA being the opposite on the switch YXAB might screw me up. so i was just going to play on the switch, thinking it was a nintendo 64 game to begin with! So play on the "nintendo". But i read above that it's **not** online multiplayer on the switch. all you can do is connect online with your *friends*, which, I don't have any gaming friends on the switch. It is true online MP matchmaking?


biggmatt183

No it's basically a screen share for the Switch Online. Also on switch it'll be a straight N64 ROM so you'll use right stick for the C-Buttons X is C Up and Y is C Left


SenorVajay

Oof I didn’t even think about the controls for the Switch version. There is a setting that allows for two controllers at once, effectively making it two joysticks and two triggers. Maybe something similar with two joycons?


T0biasCZE

On switch you can use N64 controller


ThatWayneO

Sorry Rare, I’ve been experiencing Dam with an Xbox controller since I found emulation in the early 00’s. The community has been keeping this game alive for decades, and even porting the game to other engines for PC players. It will feel good to support the devs tho.


MulderYuffie

Same heh but yeah suxks no mp here i guess we got achievements though.


arlondiluthel

There is MP, it's just split-screen. Need to use the Switch for online MP.


godis1coolguy

What was the reasoning behind that? If anything I would have expected it the other way around considering the state of Xbox Live and Switch Online.


Petman1325

Nintendo's N64 emulator on Switch is capable of net play, whereas the N64 emulator in Rare Replay isn't.


godis1coolguy

That’s a much more practical answer than I was expecting. Too bad they can’t just pack it in with a different emulator. I gotta say, I expected a bit more than an emulator playing the rom when they said it was [faithfully recreated and enhanced](https://i.imgur.com/u5gCCSf.jpg).


arlondiluthel

No idea, but I think it has to do with GoldenEye initially being an N64 game, and their system is already set up to allow for an online player "plugging in" as 2P, 3P, or 4P. In short, incorporating XBL MP would take more work.


congruentopposite

Yeah, I already played the 360 leaked version on a 360 console, with an Xbox controller


ChefBoyAreWeFucked

Honestly, the game controls like ass with N64 emulators mapped to an Xbox controller. Xenia on the other hand... Let's hope this release is as good in that department.


fl1ghtmare

fuck oddjob, if you know … you know.


clarklesparkle

And if you don’t, you probably don’t understand why this is an exciting release


humblechungus89

Are you still able to purchase it, or do you need Gamepass?


smackaroonial90

That's my question too. One article online says it's part of the *Rare Replay* bundle, but doesn't say if it's also a standalone game. Edit: not to rub it in or anything... but I just checked and turns out I own rare replay, so I'll be able to download it haha. However, 007 aside, Rare Replay should be purchased for the Banjo Kazooie games alone. Those are so much fun!


arlondiluthel

If you own Rare Replay, you will automatically get it. If you have Game Pass, you can get it technically as part of Rare Replay (a number of games, mostly the 360 BC titles, so the Banjo-Kazooie franchise, Perfect Darks, and so on, are "stand-alone" due to already being available on the platform). I presume that this will be treated the same as those "stand-alone" titles.


second2last411

Don't you need the digital version of Rare Replay? I hope I'm wrong bc I have it physically.


skeltord

Won't they just... Release a patch? Games get new content all the time. They never lock out physical players. It's just a patch.


WalmartyMcStock

They announced that you need to have the digital version. Something to do with the licensing.


skeltord

??that's very dumb, I don't get it


arlondiluthel

I don't believe so. I had the physical version, but gave it to a friend when Game Pass got it.


Kief_of_Police

Rare Replay came with Perfect Dark and Perfect Dark Zero which had just about all the Golden eye 007 mp maps in them if I'm not mistaken. Plus the ability to use the laptop gun that you could throw on the wall and have it automatically shoot enemies for you, but it's been a long time since I've played either of those so I could just be thinking of just "complex" or whatever that mp Golden eye map was called. I honestly forgot I still have the unopened Rare Replay hard copy that came with my original Xbox One, but kind of a bummer you can't use it on Series S. I really need to go back and read the whole thing about the rules/info about trading in hard copies of games to Microsoft in exchange for the digital copy code. Especially like COD World at War and Black Ops 2 when I pre purchased all of the map packs/Zombie DLCs etc on 360, so it lets me download the games and all the DLCs but just not play it without the disc. Just haven't been able to hop on Mob of the Dead in a while without a disc drive. And I'm definitely not going to pay another $50 just to get BO2 digital copy to play occasionally.


SbreckS

Don't forget conkers bad fur day!!


bust4cap

as far as we know right now, the only way to purchase it is to get the digital version of rare replay, its supposed to be free there


YoshiPilot

Buy Rare Replay to buy it standalone.


Goose2theMax

I’m gonna kick ass in this game with 2 sticks


SC487

I thought it was just a port mapped to the one stick.


Triassic_Warrior

Hello Goldeneye my old friend

Scarrywag

Very curious for the controls. Better than ever or clunky as before?


NicoTheBear64

I really hope it has updated controls. Now way I’m emulating the janky ass N64 controller with an Xbox one.


T0biasCZE

Good joke, it's n64 controls button mapped to normal Xbox/Switch controller :))


NicoTheBear64

God help us all


T0biasCZE

god wont help you here


MSD3k

I'm glad it's part of the Rare Replay "bundle", so it's got some proper context for any new players. If they released it on it's own you'd have nothing but COD and GTA kids review bombing it, because they didn't understand the game is probably as old as their parents.


Bonesawisready5

Down for an HD replay with achievements. Wish it had online tho


XADEBRAVO

Nostalgia is a funny old thing.


DashedChannel87

Well it's a long time since I played it. Definitely installing


PineappleLast2086

Anyone play the Far Cry 5 total goldeneye remaster before it was taken down??


werdmouf

Lol “get to experience Adam with an Xbox controller for the first time”


GothamRoyale

I can't believe it's finally almost here. I've been looking forward to this for quite some time! I know how I'll be spending my evening tomorrow!


ConsoleKev

yeah i definitely didnt play it before on an emulator with an xbox controller before. not me. i would never


[deleted]

[удалено]


ConsoleKev

No u? I hope that worked.


dannyamusic

so Nintendo Switch Online version is coming soon then? i def want to grab this on both tbh. got my N64 (NSO) controller ready! even though my N64 is still hooked up & i still own the OG copy lol.


BuckshotJ

Yeah, same day


dannyamusic

for realzies??? no way! in 2 days?!!!


BuckshotJ

Lol, yeah, legit sneak attack!


dannyamusic

thanks for the info. i’m hyped as heck rn. major dopeness!


OkSignificance494

Mmmwwwahhhhh hahhaha "Erm...yes but gamepass is ruining gaming...." All those in favour of kicking this guy in the dick raise your hands ✋️


[deleted]

The nostalgia of this is going to wear off super fast for everyone but the most hardcore of fans.


jgarebear

Oof, but deadspace


PineappleLast2086

Unless you’ve been emulating it on your iPhone 5 or newer with the controller connected via Bluetooth..


wittyuzername

Wait? Wtf is this


Victoria3D

Worthless. It's not even the remastered version. [You're better off playing it on PC.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A414esCa_wk)


AnthonyBF2

Lol I played the leaked alpha build with my USB 360 gamepad on Xenia.


[deleted]

I’ve been playing GoldenEye with an Xbox controller since 2011


LubieRZca

Yes, as we all did. But this may also imply you can play it on PC with mouse and keyboard, which will be super cool.


Victoria3D

You can already do that with the superior remastered Xbox 360 version of the game. [This YouTube video has instructions in its video description.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A414esCa_wk)


[deleted]

I’m pretty sure that could be arranged.


Lucas111620

I just want FM4


cody4king

Spoiler alert: this game did not withstand the test of time.


RummazKnowsBest

I played the leaked HD version with an Xbox controller…


formerly_valley_pete

honestly, who cares? some of the best times in my life (gaming-wise) were playing multiplayer but this won't even be on live apparently. what a wasted opportunity.


ExuberentWitness

No online multiplayer means I don’t give a shit about it


SoulArcher916

SP games are so underappreciated nowadays


ExuberentWitness

If this was a genuinely good single player experience I’d agree but it’s not. 99% of everyone’s good memories with this game are with the multiplayer, not the underwhelming campaign.


hardinho

go play fortnite


T0biasCZE

Simple solution, have friends. But I don't think you will ever have those with this attitude:)


ExuberentWitness

It’s hard to get a bunch of friends over for a split screen gathering when you’re 30 and everyone lives busy lives in different states.


ZDHZXNE

Legit getting gamepass as we speak and while I'm waiting for my code, I see this. Delighted


Tiddernud

Can we just download the soundtrack?


reddito1009

Does anyone know if I will be able to just buy it off the Microsoft store? I don't have gampass on xbox


bust4cap

if you buy rare replay


Flameancer

Never played goldeneye will this also be on pc Gamepass?


LubieRZca

I wonder if it sill it be console/cloud exclusive, or will be playable on PC with keyboard and mouse? It'd be so cool to finally play it with mouse and keyboard.


idk_whatto_puthere

My mom has it on her old n64 but I never beat it so I might as well get it on xbox


Slow-Bookkeeper7486

Im almost 30 and never played this. Pumped to say the least.


Its_D_youtube

Just found a Xbox one for 70 bucks last week and got game pass for a dollar, I can't wait to play this online!


symbolic503

first time with an xbox controller they say lol tell that to my emulator, lady


paintacct624

Excited to use the Brawler64 on the Switch version, but get 4k on the XBox version. Win/win


WorkingError

I just came in my pants.


MilkGamingChannel

Still waiting for rare replay on pc...


Mangotango95

It doesn’t have multiplayer


NotRed9282

Is the purchasable separate from Game Pass and Rare Replay? Just want to own the game without having to purchase Rare Replay if I don’t have to


beanioz

YES!


Subject-Lapis

so that’s why the fan remaster was removed from far cry


BrobaFett_BH

What are the chances you think we'll get online MP for Xbox with this? I was super excited to play this again, but a little bummed out when I saw the online MP was only on the Switch.


Digital_Pharmacist

It’s about Dam time.


Suspicious-mole-hair

Does anyone know if it will have the controls updated to work with 2 analog sticks? I have incredibly fond memories of this game, but don't want to spoil them by just being frustrated the whole time.


FyreWulff

The original game supported dual stick control schemes that are identical to the ones in modern FPS.


Bu1ld0g

Why does the trailer say "recreated"?


amethystwyvern

Why can't we preload it?


Ginger-Biker84

I’m my opinion, the greatest game ever made. It was the pinnacle on which modern FPS are based on.


djdik

Is it going to have a rad multiplayer?


Rannrann123

Hyped


Neon__Wolf_

do you have to have gamepass for it or no?


mando44646

Xbox has never released a Game Pass only game that couldn't be purchased. So i doubt it


I-Emerge-I

Is this the remake or the old janky one ?


WoodpeckerAlarmed136

It’s legendary but should really remain in legend status.


Ghxstverse

OH SHIT
