Goldeneye (64) on Xbox Live Arcade?

[yaboy]

"Talking with very reliable sources, and seeing evidence ourselves, Xbox Evolved believes that Microsoft, Rareware, MGM Studios (studio that makes the James Bond 007 movies) and Activision (holds the license for James Bond 007 titles right now) have come to an agreement to bring the Rareware developed Goldeneye 007 out to Xbox Live Arcade shortly before the new game developed by Activision is released.

The title will feature updated graphics, and of course an all-new Xbox Live multiplayer. Not only that, but we have found evidence that Rareware is planning on releasing even more of their back catalog onto Xbox Live Arcade, specifically, Perfect Dark and the original Banjo-Kazooie. Expect more on at least Goldeneye 007 later this year."

I so hope this is true!

SEX WEE if its true, can't see it as I presume Nintendo hold the rights.

one of my workmates said today that this was canned - don't have the source though

[Kreeeee]

I'd rather the original than some tarted up version.

I'm pretty sure your right!! (read it awhile ago when I had my 360, as I always hoped they would arrive)

Shame because even with their age they would be a superb addition to Xbox Live.

dont touch the graphics, but get rid of the slowdown in multiplayer/single player and ill be happy.

Didn't most of the original Rare developers abandon ship for Free Radicals?

It will be interesting to see how well they can emulate the original.

I'm a little skeptical myself though what with all the too good to be true 360 rumours flying around (360 Ultimate, MGS4 etc) seems someone is just spreading BS around to try and big up 360 all the time.

They ruined Worms (XBLA) by adding and removing crap and the end result was a game that looked like it was made in flash. I hope they don't ruin this one

 

[Ind3h!]

That would be awesome, it'd be great to game back into Bond gaming

Why? It'd be incredibly dated if it was released untouched. I have very fond memories of the game when it was out - sadly i doubt it would have the same effect this time round. They should definitely spruce it up.

I hope this is the free arcade game we were promised

Because all the cool kids always want it "original" and they "dont care about gfx, it's all about the gameplay" crap.
Just another bandwagon many OcUK'er jump on

If it was literally only the graphics and framerate which were updated, not changing any of the maps or game mechanics etc, I would buy an xbox for it.

[DanMc07]
