Independent media studio Altitude will launch a documentary called 'GoldenEra' celebrating the development and subsequent impact of GoldenEye 007 on the N64. Available for pre-order now, the film will stream on Altitude.film and other platforms starting from June 27th. The launch of the documentary coincides with the 25th Anniversary of the game itself, along with ongoing rumours of a re-release on modern platforms.
Created by filmmaker Drew Roller, GoldenEra will look at GoldenEye 007's influence on the dev team itself, the fans, and the critics. It will also examine the long-term impact of the game, showcasing titles that wouldn't have been made without GoldenEye's crucial influence, like Medal of Honor and Battlefield.
Here's a few words from Roller himself on the game:
“GoldenEye 007 wasn’t just an obsession for me in the late 1990s; it inspired my career, and continues to influence me to this day. And it didn’t just influence who I am - through speaking to so many game industry experts, it’s clear it informed a lot of other careers. And perhaps moreso, the game went on to shape titles that have become phenomena of popular culture, such as Call of Duty and Halo. Equally, GoldenEye 007 introduced design conventions now standard in countless successful titles. When you play a game today, there’s almost certainly some GoldenEye 007 DNA in there. That’s what makes this story so important to tell.”

When I saw it say 15th anniversary I thought "uuuuhhhh what, I'm older than that aren't I?!"
Please bring Goldeneye 007 remaster FOR PURCHASE on Switch, NO NSO!!!! We want to own this game and not hiding it behind a subscription that will change or disappear one day like what happened with MGS and many other games. Hope this game and Banjo Kazooie both come remastered on Switch!
"Film coincide's with the game's 15th anniversary"
I think your math's a bit off.
trailer says 29th, not 27th?
15th? Anyone proof reading on here these days?
It really does look like it's about to make a comeback. Online multiplayer Gokdejye with modern controls will give me endless entertainment. My money is on it being part of the NSO Expansion Pack.
So it looks possible it will be announced in the direct at the end of the month then...
I really hope so, time will tell.
Maybe I'm getting old, but 15 years actually does seem closer to the actual age of the game than 25 years...
Games were 8-bit 25 years ago weren't they?
@Buizel 8bit was ~35 years ago
Well hopefully something comes of it then.
Good to see something GoldenEye related actually being released.
Should be a good watch.
25 years...👴🏻
Nice timing for an announcement though! ^_~
Does anyone know about accessing this in the United States?

From Forbes: GoldenEra will arrive on Altitude and a number of digital platforms in the UK and Ireland from June 27; a US release is also planned, pending a distributor, with the hope it’ll hit the North American market in time for the 25th anniversary of GoldenEye 007 on August 25.
