The canceled XBLA Goldeneye 007 remaster has been released to the public!
A dispute over rights issues blocked the HD version from being released in 2008.
An archive of the Xbox Live Arcade HD remake of GoldenEye 007 was released by a user going by the name 'Fyodorovna'
It can be played on modded Xbox 360 consoles or played on a modern PC using the Xbox emulator Xenia.

Update:Seems like people got online multiplayer working.

interesting. does this have orange box art? orange box art (instead of green) is for betas and incomplete games that were acquired on devnet iirc. I had a few games like that (none anymore).

Amazing that this made it to the public. For me it's kinda already one-upped by Perfect Dark XBLA but it is nice to see their work finally released for us old geezers to enjoy.

I downloaded it. I might try it, but I don't know if I'll leave it on my system. all of my xbla are on external, so it should be pretty easy to put the game on there.

TBH I'm not that overly impressed after playing it for a bit. Controls still suck, and it doesn't necessarily look as amazeballs incredible that it was hyped up to be (even taking into consideration that it's a 13 year old game) IMO, although it's certainly an improvement for sure and running at 60fps makes it feel a billion times better to play.

It's far older than that, did you expect it to look like anything but a N64 game with some higher resolution menus? That's basically what Banjo was.

...no, Rare's XBLA remaster started development in 2008. I was just expecting something more than just a quick HD texturepack job given that everyone and their grandma was jerking off over how amazing this remaster would've been, and it's basically not remotely that impressive looking.

It's still the same old game from the 90s with a fresh coat of paint, that's what Banjo was, I don't know why anyone expected this would be any different.

This release gives me hope that we get to see more canceled rare games out there.
Maybe someday we get the completed but unreleased port of Killer Instinct 2 for the Snes?

Ki is one reason I've thought about an Xbox one. Best fighting series imo.

My hope is that the source code is included, and it can be ported to PC, and modded to hell.
The link that was taken down I think was just the game, so I dunno.

It was a jtag rip, not like a normal xbla container.

I've never used Xenia emulator before but all I had to do was download the emulator open the default.xex file from the Goldeneye folder and it worked with no setup and my controller worked too. I only played a few minutes but seemed to work fine. I put it in Launchbox.

Made a terrible image for the game that no one should use.

I'm not fps lover but I'm still curious about why people like so much this game. It's just another fps game. What so special about it? What does it give you that other fps games like doom, far cry, call of duty and many other fps games don't.
