GoldenEye remake for Wii outed?

THE RUMOURED REMAKE of Golden Eye gets more leaks but the original UK developer Rare is out of the equation.

The game that sold a zillion N64's, Nintendo's killer Halo game and the only decent Bond game ever made looks like it will be hitting the Wii. Anonymous sources at Gonintendo sent over an alleged Activision survey with mock ups of Daniel Craig's silhouette replacing the ageing Pierce Brosnan.

"Golden Eye for Nintendo 64 was the game that defined a genre. Now, after 13 years of gaming innovation, the legend is re-imagined," said the accompanying blurb. "Developed from the ground up for the Wii, Golden Eye takes advantage of the latest technology to deliver the same intense experience."

Even if this is fanboy plus Photoshop, something, somewhere is going on for Activision and Golden Eye. Activision registered the Goldeneyegame.com domain name a few months ago and put a request for CVs out last year looking for an animator on a Bond Franchise game.

Sadly the brilliant developer Rare confirmed it wouldn't be working on the title, so our hopes were dashed a little. But Rare never looked like a contender anyway. The Vole bought Rare in 2002 and has it lined up to produce a slew of Xbox Natal games.
