GoldenEye 007 poised for digital launch on Xbox

What simply occurred? One of many biggest video games ever launched on the Nintendo 64 might quickly be playable on fashionable {hardware}. TrueAchievements has shared an achievement record for GoldenEye 007, Uncommon’s seminal first-person shooter based mostly on the 1995 James Bond movie GoldenEye. Particulars are nonetheless scarce in response to the publication, so we aren’t sure if it is a remake, a remaster or a re-release of the unique.

The list of achievements is completely different from the one which accompanied the canceled GoldenEye 007 remake for XBLA final 12 months. In whole, there are 55 achievements including as much as a Gamerscore of 1,000.

Video games based mostly on films (and vice versa) are often fairly horrible, however GoldenEye 007 was a uncommon exception. The one-player marketing campaign and gameplay mechanics have been nice, as have been the graphics. The place the sport actually shined, nonetheless, was in four-player native multiplayer. I can solely think about what number of hours I burned on this title, huddled round a small 19-inch CRT enjoying The Man With the Golden Gun with associates.

The achievement leak suggests that is coming to Xbox first, though there’s hope that Nintendo would possibly sooner or later add it to its Change On-line secure for play on its handheld. Banjo-Kazooie, one other Uncommon title, was just lately introduced for the Change On-line Enlargement. Perhaps GoldenEye 007 will likely be subsequent?

That leaves us with only one query: Was playing as Oddjob “cheating?”
