GoldenEye 007:Reloaded confirmed for Xbox and PS3, now with trailer

By Jeff Hughes Published December 29, 2017

GoldenEye is back and oh so pretty. Earlier this week Santa Monica, California based game publisher Activision announced that fans of GoldenEye 007:Reloaded will soon be able to play the game on Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 consoles. The new launch of the game, formerly exclusive to the Wii, will have the visual upgrade previously hinted at as well as several new features.

The original Nintendo 64 game holds a tender spot in gamer’s hearts. GoldenEye 007 jumped to the Wii and never strayed from Nintendo due to complications. The game was split three ways among developer Rareware (now owned by Microsoft), Nintendo and Activision who owned the James Bond license. Through a compromise, the game eventually made it to the Wii with a new makeover and cast.

The GoldenEye: 007 Reloaded for the Xbox and PS3 will have HD visuals and photorealistic environments running at 60-frames per second. Eurocom also cooked up a brand new engine for the HD release. PS3 players will have the ability to play using the Playstation move and the Sharp Shooter peripheral.

Along with the campaign from the Wii’s reboot, the new game introduces MI-6 Ops Mission modes. These missions will draw from environments in the game and are split into four experiences: Assault, Stealth, Wave Defense and Elimination.

The game will still support the four-player split screen in multiplayer, but will also take advantage of the Xbox Live and Playstation Network. Online mode gets new maps, characters, game modes and weapons as well as first ever 16-player online multiplayer matches.

The downside to the upgrades? No N 64 judo chop melee attack, only a boring gun butt. If you can get past that then look forward to seeing the game in stores later this fall. Check out the not-appropriate-for-kids trailer below.

How to upgrade and repair weapons and gear in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

A soldier with a broken gun in Stalker 2.

It won't be long into Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl that you encounter your first weapon jam. Whether you're fighting mutant dogs or enemy bandits, the last thing you want to hear when lining up a shot is the clicking of your weapon despite still having plenty of ammo. The more you use your weapons, the lower their durability becomes and the more likely you are to experience a jam. You don't have the skills to repair or upgrade your weapons yourself, and Stalker 2 is more than willing to let you miss out on finding the places to do it. Never get caught with a broken or weak weapon again by learning how to repair and upgrade your weapons in Stalker 2.

You can see how beaten down your weapon is in the inventory by highlighting it or based on the color of the broken shield icon. If that icon appears at all, you can expect jams to start popping up.

How to fix reputation in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl

Two groups pointing at each other in Stalker 2.

Unless you played any of the previous games, it might come as a surprise to learn just how many immersive sim elements are in Stalker 2: Heart of Chornobyl. In a lot of ways, it is closer to a more hardcore Fallout game than a pure FPS title, with lots of loot, quests, and characters to meet and talk to. One somewhat hidden mechanic is the reputation system. Stalker 2 won't stop you from opening fire on anyone you want, but not without consequence. Upset someone from a particular group, and you'll find yourself being hunted by them until you do something about it. There are enough things in Stalker 2 trying to kill you so if you accidentally angered a group and want to get back in their good graces, here's how you can fix your reputation.

If you've intentionally or accidentally shot or hurt a friendly NPC from one of the main groups in Stalker 2, you will instantly be put on their "shoot on sight" list if it lowers your reputation enough. Thankfully, there are ways to get yourself a second or third chance, but only two.
