That remaster never officially saw the light of day, getting bogged down in the split licenses needed between Rare, Nintendo, MGM, and Activision for a while – in the end Rare’s second N64 FPS was remastered and released on Xbox Live Arcade instead. A big part of the recent push to get GoldenEye 007 re-released was because of the 2021 leak of a GoldenEye HD remaster dating back to the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade. Now, we don’t want to discredit Code Mystics’ work – they were given a specific job by Microsoft and worked to spec – but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing when we’ve seen what could have been. Code Mystics asserts that this is authentic to the original game on N64, just that they’re far more visible when emulated at higher resolution. On Xbox, playing at higher resolution has numerous slight graphical glitches, the seams of polygons visible as you move, backgrounds overlaying on foregrounds, and more. There’s also plenty of visual quirks from the emulation.
