It appears that the GoldenEye 007 XBLA remake has leaked (longplay released on YouTube) [Playable Build out in the wild]
- Thread starter smart patrol
- Start date
Unless things have changed, the speculation in the article I read about it at Ars Technica is that it was the rightsholders of the Bond franchise itself, not Nintendo.
That's doesn't necessarily dismiss that Nintendo didn't have some issues at that time, however it does seem those were minor and likely to be resolved relative to the major issue involving the rights owners of Bond that were and are unlikely to be resolved.
Xenia (Windows based Xbox 360 emulator) or dump it to a modded Xbox 360.
Having played through it and watched the credits, it SEEMS like it was MGM/EON, as there is a plea at the end that reads "BRING BACK GE MGM/EON" after the Old Nintendo credits and "Presented By Microsoft."
It appears to be from PartnerNet (allowed devs to test beta builds of XBLA games), which was somewhat easily accessible back in the day. Goldeneye was uploaded there for a very short window way back when and someone was holding onto it.
Wow! That's really cool.
it is important piece of gaming history, so it's nice to see it preserved like this.
Thats it compiling shaders as it goes. If you replay the same level those hitches should be gone.
Finally had the time to check this out. And omg, just playing the first mission was a blast from the past. So many happy memories came back rushing.
Haha yeah! Watching the DF play through was such a joy. After seeing them feature mediocre games the past few weeks (dirt, control, destruction stars, hexen, turrican) it was like "all is forgiven" when that 007 theme played :)
I hope so!! Given the hit the bond rights holders took with the latest film being pushed back, releasing this game would be perfect for all - everyone wins scenario
Holy grails/unreleased goodness means it is always worth giving the time of day to. Now that time may only be 5 minutes, but it deserves it.
The game has a weird/unintuitive stealth system. If an enemy is far enough away that you haven't "activated" them yet but they hear the sound of you firing your gun, they'll spawn a clone of themself to go hunt you down. They'll keep doing this indefinitely until you encounter the "original" or stop making noise.
Some guns are louder than others, so you'll trigger this effect less often if you use eg. the silenced PP7, which has a sound that doesn't carry as far.
It's at the library they are just endless at the beginning and it sucks because you start with next to no ammo. But needed a break anyways lol
I don't know why, but I sort of feel like this leaking makes a proper release less likely, not more.

Unfortunately, the one thing you quoted was the thing that Ross and Mark have since told me was inaccurate. I've corrected the article; it was SOME executive at Nintendo, but not Yamauchi. But all of the other 2,500 words are accurate! Thanks for linking.
It would be highly irregular for the publisher to not retain the rights to music created for a product, so I would doubt this. Ultimately though, it depends on what the original publishing agreement for the game was. Of course, it's a licensed game, so this is even more complicated than a simple publisher arrangement would be, which makes Rare owning the rights outright even less likely. I'd be happy to see any evidence that Rare owns the rights to the in-game music though. Rare has released tracks from plenty of other games on streaming sites, but I'm not aware of them making any tracks from GE available for purchase or streaming, something that would seem like a no-brainer if they did have the rights.
The sound effects seem to have a lag: is that normal? (Like shooting and then hearing a significant delay)
š I mean, the first part maybe, but the second? Wut? Lol
Hypothetically speaking. What would someone need to play this?
Me and a friend did 00 agent on og hardware in 2019. It was tough as hell. The consists framerate and better controls helps a lot on this version.
Yeah the original tech flaws definitely wouldn't have helped.
I think Bunker 2 is where I started to struggle as a kid.
Jungle, Control and Caverns stick out in my memory as the hardest.
Insane I even did it as a 7/8 year old to be honest.
I'm stuck on the train. Either Natalya dies or there's not enough time to escape. Lost count of how many times I've attempted this level. How the hell did I do this on the n64?
I can't even think of another movie game that's in the same league off the top of my head, other than that Blade Runner PC game
Landing some shots on Xenia as the shutters come down gets you extra time.
A non-potato computer and the technical ability required to double click an .exe
Download the normal version of Xenia if you want to play with an Xbox controller, or this version if you want to play with keyboard+mouse. Open the default.xex file that the game contains with Xenia. The end
When the new bond film comes close to releasing is when we'll see this hit to promote the film
games done and just shove ads for no time to die and bam hype for the movie

Not asking for links but...any other cool games I should look up that got canceled but leaked?
