A two-hour playthrough video of the ill-fated remastered GoldenEye 007 The Xbox Live Arcade version has just been uploaded to YouTube. Presented by user Graslu00, the video has the game running at 60 fps and 4K resolution thanks to the Xenia emulator.
Initially set for a 2007 release, the 1997 N64 title remake was shelved due to licensing and copyright disputes. The nostalgic game, with all its updated glory, is just as fun to watch as it was 24 years ago. The video goes through levels like the classic Dam (he even zooms in with his sniper on the infamous island), for the final Egyptian level and ends with 30 minutes of multiplayer action.
Watch the video above for a trip to the past and read Graslu00’s answers to frequently asked questions about his long-term upload below.
Is this related to the 4chan leak at the beginning of last month?
No, anyway. This file is a dead weight that cannot be broken. We have known people with these builds for years from partnernet / pnet. It was just a matter of time.How did you get this?
I can’t say. Patience is the key.Will it be released soon / someday?
The launch is not on my own, I cannot publish it. They said it will be released in 2021.Does this mean that it is being accumulated?
No. Patience is the key. I am told that it will be released eventually in 2021. I cannot and will not risk doing so.What do you think of the cancellation of this remake by Nintendo?
Nintendo did not cancel this, they are not the license owners. If you want GE back, ask IP holders, not game companies.
