GE on Live alone would be bigger than all those titles combined on VC.

Um, all parties clearly did not agree. Reggie isn't going to go ahead an green-light such a complicated process without telling the higher ups. I don't know why this game went into development, probably the same reason a version of Halo DS exists, but it certainly wasn't because all parties were on the same page.Prine said:How else could you play an unreleased game without going to the source yourself? Rare/MS probably wanted the world to know, cause they went to great lengths to make this happen. This magazine provides more evidence than any other site claiming to be in the know about Goldeneye.
Why would MS green light a project like this unless all parties agreed? Someone mentioned big corporations go through heavy budgeting and planning before starting any game. Think about it.

If someone came here and posted shit like that, they'd be laughed off the forum.
Shiggy said:"Goldeneye is a Nintendo product and should only be on a Nintendo platform" :lol
Still, why did they ever start its development for XBLA?
Missing out on Goldeneye and the Rare back catalogue for VC? That doesn't sound so smart to me.ggnoobIGN said:Making smart business choices? They've been doing that for awhile now.

At this point, does someone really have to tell to never go against the man who has created, not one, but two machines that print money?

Everybody happy.
Everybody gets a lot of money.
Where's the smart business decision?...
The problem with the source isn't in how the project was greenlit... it's in the notion that NCL had no legal recourse and basically had to "threaten" the project into cancellation. Hell, the earlier tidbit of the rumor even logically disproves the latter... why would MGS/Rare/Activision even enter into a preliminary deal with Reggie to port the game to Wii and bring Rare's back catalog to the VC if Nintendo had no legal say in things? Out of the goodness of their hearts? :lolPrine said:How else could you play an unreleased game without going to the source yourself?

This is amazing.
The sheer willingness of you guys to UNQUESTIONINGLY BELIEVE it because it was written in a magazine, EVEN THOUGH it came from a single poster at Penny Arcade forum, and his post reads like total bullshit...
have you people read it yet?
Apparently it had an option to switch between N64 and HD graphics :lol
Maybe from here?Prine said:I recall Reggie saying somthing along the lines of "Goldeneye will happen" a couple of months ago
I would like to know if EA can release their Bond games now that Activition hold the license
That sounds to me more like "I'd love to have Goldeneye on VC", and less like "I'd love to have Goldeneye on XBLA! And maybe VC too if we're real lucky!"Reggie said:Would I love to see it on virtual console? Absolutely. But there are a lot of issues there. Suffice it to say we would love to see it, so we're exploring all the rights issues.

It's probably a bit controversial to post this here... but I think it's something that needs to be said.
A team at Rare are month or two away from completing Goldeneye - 10th Anniversary Edition for Xbox Live Arcade. I've played it, and it's an absolutely fantastic port of the original game, with features such as -
Flawless recreation of the original gameplay. This is the original code - just running on an Xbox 360.
Rock solid 60 frames a second. (I saw it drop to 30 once when a ton of mines exploded.)
All new high def graphics (with the option to switch back to the original N64 graphics any time).
4-way online splitscreen multiplayer - see what the other 3 players can see, even over Live!
New multiplayer maps - play on the single player Dam, Depot or Frigate levels.
Now, there's only one small problem - you can't have it.
Negotiations with Nintendo have completely broken down. Satoru Iwata's final word is, roughly, "Goldeneye is a Nintendo product and should only be on a Nintendo platform". The team working on it have been sent home.
For the Xbox haters in the audience: no, this does not benefit you. If it doesn't come out, then neither Goldeneye, nor any other Rare game, will come out on Wii Virtual console in future. (Microsoft aren't that public spirited.) So Nintendo's decision is truly a benefit to nobody.
At this point, it looks like public opinion is the only hope. If you want Goldeneye to ever be rereleased, on a Nintendo platform or otherwise, speak up. Let Nintendo know they're acting like a bunch of jerks.
