GoldenEye 007 Remake Reportedly Getting Announced Very Soon
An industry insider believes that a remake of the classic GoldenEye 007 might be announced sometime in the next few weeks. First released on the Nintendo 64 by famed developer Rare back in 1997, Goldeneye 007 managed to overcome the usual fate of movie tie-in games and was highly regarded as one of the most popular titles on Nintendo’s first 3D console, as well as one of the greatest video games ever made. Goldeneye 007 introduced several concepts that are still part of the FPS genre 25 years later, such as atmosphere-heavy single-player missions that retold the story of Pierce Bronson's first entry as the legendary British super spy, stealth gameplay, and console multiplayer deathmatches in which friends could challenge each other as either Bond or a wide assortment of supporting characters.
Eurocom would reimagine the original GoldenEye 007 for the Wii in 2010, adding motion controls and substituting Pierce Bronson with then-Bond actor Daniel Craig. This new version of GoldenEye 007 received mostly positive reviews from critics and would be ported to the PS3 and Xbox 360 a year later. However, fans have been left wondering if the original GoldenEye 007 would be remastered for recent systems. Such an update was planned for Xbox Live during the Xbox 360 era, but it was ultimately canceled due to legal issues with Nintendo. A prototype version of this GoldenEye 007 would be leaked online earlier this year.
