are they gonna make goldenye and perfect dark available for the revolution

Probably not since MS owns Rare now. It'd be cool if Nintendo could pull it off somehow. It's hard to think of those two games without associating them with Nintendo.

you never know.. I just can't get over the fact that Microsoft made a game for Nintendo.

Although they aren't competing on a handheld level, hence the team-up :p The ultimate killer would be releasing Goldeneye 007 for the DS, that would OWN :p

They can't EA has Bond now. It's not really the best shooter out there anymore either once the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia come off.

True...

A Revolution emulated port is still possible, though. It's not about 'being the best shooter', it was a generally fun game that was loved by all because it was James Bond. Halo is more of a 'Gamers Game'. Not everybody could pick up Halo instantly and start shooting people instantly. Goldeneye 007 had 'it', and that's something you can't take away.

Lets get Revolution to the top of this poll. ;)

this poll seems to be very accurate.. the Revolution and the PS3 will be very good systems. but, of course the Revolution should be on top :shifty:

I wouldn't hold my breath to see Rare games on the Revolution. MS does games for the DS because they have no handheld console and therefore the DS isn't competition for them. The Revolution is in direct competition with the XBOX 360. No way MS will release or re-release games for it. If anything Goldeneye could be re-released over XBOX LIVE, but it won't be turning up on the Revolution.

Pandemic (Star Wars Battlefront, Destroy All Humans, Mercenaries, Full Spectrum Warrior) studio on Rev.

GS: Do you perceive difficulties with the Revolution, as far as making games multi-platform?

JR: Well the Revolution is a very different platform, and we’ve actually just seen some things behind closed doors that are just mind-blowing. Very very exciting. They’re doing something that’s very different and unique. I agree that it’s going to challenge the notion of just doing a port.

i am so disappointed, Revolution was such a good name, and it had a real buzz around it; exciting, new - i wanted one...Wii is possibly the worst name i have ever heard...i don't think i want one anymore...

:blink:

not wanting a console that you used to want just because of the name has to be the dumbest thing i've ever heard....EVER!

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      I still use HexChat! Not really as ancient as the 1994 AutoCAD above my post, but I have never found anything better to replace it. Yes we still operate an IRC server https://www.neowin.net/irc/ 😛

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.
