ooooooooooh, even another golden eye would rock more than guitar hero.

Who is the developer? Does EA still own the licence? EA ruined the bond franchise.

EON wasn't terrible. Heck, even Nightfire was good. EA is no Rare, that's for sure, but they do Okay.

Not that I'm expecting the greatest game ever, or even recently, but I don't anticipate utter failure either. They also have the opportunity to use the Wii control system to make both the spy and shooter portions of the game a lot of fun.

LINK? Come on, at least provide a link to you big bad rumour source. Hey know what I read? Wii will be able to use Blu-ray discs after an update on July 22nd.

they need to make another goldeneye..

they need to make another goldeneye..

What's missing from the current incarnations that was in Goldeneye?

At the time, I realize, Goldeneye defined the console FPS. It's hard to compete with that sort of nostalgia. But I don't see the franchise really having deteriorated or having lost elements. Indeed, it's added some spy-elements that make it more than just a shooter.

I remember reading in Game Informer about the new Bond game. I'll have to scan for the article later on. If I can find it I'll post something up. I just recall reading it and being interested, which for me and Bond games is a rare thing.

EA doesn't have the Bond license to thrill anymore, it's Activision and I believe that Treyarch is doing the development work. Here's an article from 2006 on it. http://wii.ign.com/articles/718/718890p1.html

Whoops... I checked my GI. I was totally wrong. The article I read was on a Counter Strike: Source mod for the PC that some team out there did that recreated Goldeneye. I think I just got that stuck in my head because it looked so sweet and they said it played very much like the old N64 game. Ah well. Sorry...

I think you might have also been remembering that the President of Nintendo North America had stated that they were looking to add 007 GoldenEye to the virtual console.

But I don't see that happening as the games developer Rare is owned by Microsoft, so i cant see big Bill being too willing to do Nintendo any favors unless there is a serious amount of dosh changing hands.

Who knows we might see cross platform Bond game to tie in with a future move as Activision hold the franchise rights. But really without original Rare working on it can we ever hope it will be anywhere near as good as GoldenEye?

So true!

I'm pretty sure that its not going to come out till summer 08... I think they would have announced it by now if it was to come out this summer. And im also pretty sure that EA does not have the licence. Activision is supposed to have it!

 

[XwiimasturX]

wow... i want it to be based off of casino royale so i can play as daniel craig and be all like, "Hey ladies, look at my muscles, wanna get into bed with me?"

that would be pretty awesome.

I really hope they do bring out a Bond game. The Wii controls would be perfect for it!
