Eurogamer has recently received information that Activision is doing something with the GoldenEye 007 property. What that something is remains uncertain, but the publication's report alleges that a GoldenEye game--not necessarily a remake or a re-release--is coming and is slated for a November 2010 release on the Wii and Nintendo DS. Supposedly, it's being developed by James Bond vets Eurocom and Bond-virgins n-Space.
Activision didn't respond to a request for comment, and they never have before with the evidence pointing towards a new generation GoldenEye 007, either. Most recently, a survey (and pictures) indicated the publisher had something up its sleeves. Activision has also, as pointed out by Eurogamer, registered some domain names that teased its efforts as well.
You know what? Sure. I'd use this. At one point, rumors swirled around a Rare-developed Xbox Live Arcade re-release of the title. Talks between Microsoft and Nintendo around money purportedly broke down, causing the game's cancellation in 2008. Activision is now the owner of the James Bond license. Its latest Bond game was Treyarch'sQuantum of Solace.
If Eurogamer's report proves true, we're looking at a GoldenEye title that will probably have us taping cardboard to our much-more expensive, high-tech TVs to prevent screen peeking. Will it be worth the trouble? I'm thinking it is if that gun is a part of the package, for sure.
