I recently replayed the first Soldier of Fortune and Perfect Dark back to back and I gotta say they nailed the retro style in this game. I can't wait to play it.
I really miss SOF 1+2 -- glad they're still available on GoG, but would love to see a good remake of either one.
This doesn't look bad, but I feel like bringing back Goldeneye style shooters is a bad idea. Like, I get it's nostalgia and all but there's a reason why that game is stuck and forgotten on N64, it just didn't age well at all. It might've been good for it's time and platform of choice, but I'd say that in retrospect it's easily one of the weakest shooters from the 90s, especially in comparison to games like Quake, Unreal and Half-Life.
Nah, literally played Goldeneye at a party yesterday and it's still damn fun! We also played Smash 64 AFTER Ultimate and had fun too!
Why must everything be compared? If I pull out my N64 and Goldeneye and have a round of single player or multiplayer with mates, fun is still to be had. No one is sitting there thinking, this is shit compared to Quake. These games have their place in the hearts of many because of its gameplay and I for one welcome a new game that honours this era for what it was.
Speak for yourself! I'm still playing GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. They even released it on Nintendo's online retro store. People are still playing it.
Perfect Dark with mouse support and modern resolution is still a hoot. And there's no abysmal framerate holding everything back.
