XBLA GoldenEye 007 details coming soon [update 2]

by Dustin Burg on Feb 22nd 2008 12:45PM

Update 2: Updated the title to clear up some of the confusion. We know that the magazine article will have details and impressions about the XBLA version of GoldenEye 007 when it was being developed, but its current development status is very much up in the air. The accepted word on the street is that the game is still at a canceled status, it's just that Xbox World 360 has information regarding the game when it was being worked on. So, this is NOT confirmation that the game will release to the XBLA. We apologize for the confusion.

Update: Craptacular ... We're now hearing that the Xbox World 360 article may only feature impressions of the still canceled, not going to be released XBLA version of GoldenEye 007. So, for the time being, don't get your XBLA GoldenEye hopes up. Stupid magazines bull-crapping us, oh bother ...

~~Our whining, groaning and~~ ~~petitioning~~ ~~may have actually paid off for once. as the~~ ~~once rumored, then not rumored Xbox Live Arcade version of GoldenEye 007 is officially going to happen.~~

British magazine Xbox World 360 is teasing that in next month's issue (which hits newsstands next Wednesday the 27th) they'll be revealing "never-seen shots and hands-on details" from "Rare's retooled classic" and all the changes that have been implemented in this re-make. We obviously don't have to hype this news any further as we're pretty sure N64 GoldenEye fanboys will take this, run through the streets and scream joy at every street corner. Bring on the golden gun and bring on the details ... Wednesday just can't come soon enough. W00t!

I think I'm in love! :D

YESSSSSS i was just asking about this in an earlier post!

w00t! I call ODDJOB!

cheater!

Hahahaha! No freakin' way! That's not cheating!!!! STOP LOOKING AT MY SCREEN!

Oh my goodness. I think this entire week is going to give me a heart attack.

When/if you die, may I have your 360? Thank you.

Wasn't this canceled because Nintendo and Microsoft couldn't come to an agreement?

Yes, it was cancelled. It's not "officially going to happen" at all. Even the site this article references mention says "... how can we make sure this incredible remake does see the light of day?"

It's not going to happen, it only *was* going to happen, and the magazine is only hopeful that support from the community will be enough to get this game back on track.

Yeah, that's what I thought. So yeah, this isn't really news. xD Everyone knew about this ages ago. I thought I'd somehow gotten an RSS feed from the past.

Wow my thoughts on buying a ps3 just keep sinking.The 360 honestly crushes the ps3 in every way in 08.

except to the whole you know...Blu-Ray winning the format wars and everything

True tispe, true... movie formats have long played a key role in my game-console decision-making... Honestly it's still a shame that the N64's cart-based movie initiative never took off...

AoE...
That was good, really good. So good in fact, that I'm putting my comment away. :)

Goldeneye isnt coming to the 360 You idioit. Lmfao.

Good luck with GoW2, Fable 2, Halo Wars....

LOL.

*Yawn*

Wounder how much they'll ask for this? 1200 is my highest.

I want to play with big heads on.

Two words - Fuckin' A!

Does this mean we may see Banjo Kazooie remakes on XBLA? :D

I'll believe it when I see it. I think someone is just trying to sell magazines.

Can we calm down a sec and get some details please? I thought that the story was that Rare made a GoldenEye remake and it got into legal issues with rights and what not. Xbox magazine just discovered that the game is real and exists, but that the legal problems are still real. So it's out there, but we still can't play it. Isn't that what's going on here?

Kinda excited....hoped they would have chosen to release Perfect Dark instead..

Make it so...

WOOT! I can not wait for this. This is going to be the best XBLA title ever. Thanks for the heads up Dustin. Awesome.

It's funny, if this did happen...a nintendo game would probably be a big selling point for a microsoft console..money money money, MONEY!

@tispe

Honestly the movie format thing is a huge deal.I mean god wii wouldn't be selling so well without a movie player.

Well I don't know if this will happen.

I was psyched about Durandal, but a few minutes of the demo put any chances of me buying down the toilet as I rushed there. Hopefully if this Does happen, it won't suffer the same problem.

My comment didn't post?

Commentors at TheXboxDomain have basically shot this down already. DeaconBlade stated there:

"actually it’s not coming to XBLA. this magazine is just a feature of what the game was and is hoping to get support up to convince MS, Rare, Nintendo or whoever else to release it.

but it’s not confirmed…just a magazine hoping to generate enough buzz to get the powers that be to change their minds :)"

Stranger things HAVE happened..look at the release of Turtles Arcade on Live, the Playstation exclusive Castlevania: SOTN, and all of the other games that have come to the 360 that were on previous platforms. (DMC, AceCombat, Metal Gear on the original Xbox to name a few.)

I'll go ahead and freakin' jump for joy now! All that needs to happen in this world for ANYTHING to get done is money and a bit of passion...it's coming, guys!

Time to relive my 1998 college freshman year and shoot some f-in big heads in cheat mode! Meet me in Severnaya!

I wore out at least one of the N64 Controllers playing this game. This is exciting news.

Listen..if it WASN'T coming to XBLA, then why the updated graphics and videos all over the net? The game exists, and I could care less if it also comes to PS3's PSN thing. I just want it on my 360 with multiplayer and i'll be set. I doubt Wii's Virtual Console would get it (although i'd buy THAT, too.. for the controls.)

This to me is bigger than Gears of War 2 or many retail releases this year, truth be told. Toss in a widescreen HD option and I'll need changing if I think too much more about this. Oop..nevermind. I made a present.

I think the X360F story needs to include the part about:

"And how can we make sure this incredible remake does see the light of day?"

It seems nothing has changed and they're just showing the work already done on it, the game still isn't coming out on XBLA officially... yet.

To celebrate (And I AM celebrating here:)

Goldeneye 007 64 game music OST .MP3's for everyone!
Click each track separately, then rightclick to save.

I don't think anyone denies that it ever "existed". The question is whether or not it's ever going to actually come out.

That looks INCREDIBLE!

i'll pay 1200 MS points no problem for this!

The golden gun was teh best weapon evar!

I am an atheist but thank god. WOOT WOOT bring on the multiplayer.
I remember playing multiplayer on my 21" CRT TV in the 90's this game was the nuts and is the nuts

Hey Dustin,
Please, in the future, read *carefully* the posts you are linking before posting. Neither the Joystiq post nor the Xbox World 360 blog confirmed the release of the game. For all the railing you do on Fox News, you should consider getting the information correct. Stop jumping to conclusions. And yes, I see the correction update, but that doesn't excuse the logic leap that the initial headline implied.

Wow, I was so excited before I saw the updates were added. This ruined my day

Goddamn a**holes at Nintendo don't want this game to be on Xbox Live yet they'll never make it for their virtual console

you have no idea how bad i want this to happen, why cant nintendo take a small cut(like 20%) from the XBLA arcade sales but they can put the original Goldeneye on their virtual console?

Watch the Rare classic update just be about Banjo 3.

I would pay $20 to play this on XBLA. If they really do not make this they are STUPID! it would be the biggest money maker for XBLA so far! this game revolutionized shooters as we know it.

I would so pay 1600 points for this game. It was such a classic!
