Three Years Later, What Do You Think Of The GoldenEye 007 Port For Xbox?
Can you believe it’s been three years this week since GoldenEye 007 finally arrived on Xbox?!
Yes, Microsoft somehow did the impossible in January of 2023 when arguably the most influential FPS of all time arrived on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, introducing various quality-of-life features including native 16:9 widescreen resolution at up to 4K Ultra HD.
When we first got hands-on with GoldenEye 007 at the time, here’s what we had to say:
“We’re having an excellent time revisiting GoldenEye 007 on Xbox Game Pass so far. It obviously feels a bit dated at this point, but even so, it’s now a much more accessible experience due to the new improvements in the Xbox version. Even newcomers shouldn’t feel too overwhelmed by it!”
“The problem is, when we’re revisiting this classic Nintendo 64 title on Xbox for the first time, it immediately reminds us that the cancelled Xbox 360 remaster could have been even more special. The visuals in that game looked so good, and it also had online multiplayer capabilities, but instead we’re having to settle for a near-straight port. That’s OK and everything, but we really wish GoldenEye 007 had received the Quake remaster treatment here.”
