As impressive as the 007 First Light opening credits are, some James Bond fans wonder if the game can top their recollections of Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. The ambitious first-person shooter (FPS) based on the 1995 movie is often held up as the gold standard for Bond games despite its awkward controls.
It was hugely innovative with its four-player split-screen multiplayer option and objectives that varied based on difficulty level. Some would even argue that Goldeneye gave us games like Halo and Call of Duty. Now an indie developer seeks to rekindle its immersive atmosphere.
